Creator MageMistress on April 25

Will there be a way to submit a change of address before things ship? I wound up moving and I don't want my stuff to get lost. Thanks!

Creator Craig McClung on March 4

Any Updates/News?

Creator Brian Rock on February 5

The art samples are phenomenal. Outstanding stuff.

Creator Craig McClung on February 5

does this (the sending of surveys) mean our rewards will be sent soon?

Creator Skipper Harris on February 5

Got my survey and filled it out. Just want to be sure it is noted I pledged the extra $25 to get 2 copies of the book. That wasn't covered in the survey. Should be obvious from my pledge amount but wanted to make sure it got noticed.

Creator Kyle Brodzky on January 12

Just pored over the text, it's great. Love the impassioned plea for respect for cloven hooves.

Creator Craig McClung on December 10, 2012

Any progress with the new artist? samples, renewed ETA for the final product?

Creator TP on November 28, 2012

Considering PDFs were scheduled for November, an update really would seem called for.

Creator Denkstrum on November 25, 2012

Almost the beginning of December, any other update on the progress? my gaming buddies and I can't wait to try out the game!

Creator Craig McClung on October 28, 2012

Any progress to report?

Creator walterhisownself on August 26, 2012

Woohoo! Looks like it will be full color hardcover.

Creator Jonathan Bristow on August 23, 2012

As long as we get more cool stuff from Arc Dream in the future (Kickstarter or not), I'm happy!

Creator Jonathan Bristow on August 23, 2012

@Thom It's either that or over-time budgeted. We filled out the goal and all of the stretch goals too quickly, and then interest seemed to stall out as the KS went on. It's a tough call deciding what the proper time length/goal will get the funding done. If you're going to have a long Kickstarter, you need to keep the backers engaged to both spread word of mouth and pledge increases. Short kickstarters have a more challenging road, but may be better for a project that has less means for increasing backer interaction.

Creator Thom Rowe on August 23, 2012

@Jonathan Bristow : why would you say that?

Creator Jonathan Bristow on August 22, 2012

Looks like this was tragically underpriced!

Creator AsenRG on August 22, 2012

I'd support the idea for a stretch goal about converting to other settings, which might require adding WT-style powers to the mix.

Creator Mirko Hess on August 22, 2012

Truth be told, I for one have lost hope anything will. Kinda disappointing really.

Creator Constantine Thomas on August 22, 2012

Only three days left, and still no further stretch goals. Is anything going to happen?

Creator Constantine Thomas on August 21, 2012

If we get any new stretch goals in the last few days can we have one that's already been reached between 15k and 18k? ;)

Creator Itamar Friedman on August 20, 2012

Next stretch goal - personally sign all hard copies for $35 and above, or add a GM screen to that tier and above (with pdf versions)

Creator Ian McFarlin on August 19, 2012

I'd like to second (or third or whatever) the idea of pre-made Heroes. They're basically the monsters of the game, in that they're statted-out creatures that the GM has to run for the players to fight. Stats for cops and armed forces would be good, too, especially if either has a special anti-super-being force within it.

Creator Jonathan Bristow on August 17, 2012

Stretch Goal Idea: Alternate universes. Tips for adding/converting the setting history to change the tone and feel of the game.

Creator Claive Ver. 5.16 on August 16, 2012

Could we get a stretch goal for extra stories along similar lines to "Me, and Karish-Nephet the Defiler?"

Creator Skipper Harris on August 15, 2012

Here's a thought, can we get a peek at a rules sample? Something that would give an idea of what is already in the book? Might help point out areas for expansion via stretch goals.

And the suggestions for premade heroes and villains to populate the world does sound good.

Creator Mirko Hess on August 15, 2012

Hm...last Stretch was passed 6 days ago. Hopefully another will surface soon...might help picking up pace again.

Creator Steven Thesken on August 14, 2012

Maybe at $18k, we can get an angelic super team added to the book? That would be a big help to GMs needing to oppose the villains. Or a selection of appropriate death traps?

Creator Doug Grimes on August 14, 2012

Flip this 'demons in good people' concept around and you've got a pretty good reason for Anti-Heroes - Angels inhabiting the bodies of not-so-good people 'to help them become better by fighting evil.' At least it's something to think about.

Creator Zed Lopez on August 13, 2012

Rules for creating neferious Rube-Goldberg 'deathtraps' for heroes.

"Ah ha, I have you now Superlative Man, at last you will meet your end. As the last drops of sand fall out of this hourglass, they will offset this counterweight that will trigger the floor to open onto the Laser Headed -Shark tank, and at the same time trigger to automatic release on the chain-reel holding you aloft...I hope you can swim Superlative Man Mwah ha ha ha...Now I will conveniently leave the room and leave you to your death, afterall, with a plan like that what could possibly go wrong"

Creator Max Nevill on August 11, 2012

What about a GM Screen?

Creator Max Nevill on August 11, 2012

Also, I'm not sure, but if mortals can be capable obstacles/antagonists, I think playing that up would be important too.

Creator Max Nevill on August 11, 2012

1.) I think some fully fleshed out AU world building information would be very helpful to me as the likely GM of such a game.

2.) Fleshed out demons ready to use

3.) Premade super hero groups

4.) Some higher donation packages for naming some characters in the setting? I've seen that one around i.e. pay $500 and get to name the Evil Evil bad guy etc.

I'd also be curious about a conversion package to Mutants and Masterminds 3rd Edition, which I already own.

Creator chris roames on August 11, 2012

I see a rules conversion to other ORE games as the most useful and essential addition. To me, the strength and appeal of the system has been its cross-compatibility with all of the other games out there, allowing us to have a system as simple or as complex as we'd each prefer; each game emulates a different mood/theme.
I've always wanted Wild Talents to have more RP driving systems like A Dirty World and Better Angels seems to mix that with powers well (at least what I've seen so far).

Creator Andrew Stevenson on August 10, 2012

I love worldbuilding. Having a cool prebuilt setting with an alternate history of Important Superdudes, in the same manner as Godlike and Wild Talents, would be pretty great.

Creator Justin Hilyard on August 10, 2012

I'm going to second Matthew Couch, and also add my voice to the "more fiction" crowd. :D

Creator Matthew Couch on August 10, 2012

Stretch goals:
1) Superheros/Supergroups to face
2) Prebuilt demons with backstory/mythology (to attach to PCs or NPCs)
4) Rival villians
5) Second (e?)book with all the NPC files/GM stuff separated from the rules & world intro
3) Conversions from other ORE games (Dirty World/Wild Talents/Monsters etc)

Creator James Kiley on August 10, 2012

But apparently I forgot that there were multiple adventures or adventure seeds as stretch goals already... sheesh. How about a soundtrack?

Creator James Kiley on August 10, 2012

I'd vote for an adventure as a stretch goal.

Creator Kyle Brodzky on August 10, 2012

Rules for integrating with Wild Talents would delightful, I think.

Creator Barac Baker Wiley on August 10, 2012

I'm definitely interested in more adventures and/or fiction, and some supporting NPCs of whatever type certainly wouldn't hurt. Um...rules for WIld Talents/Better Angels conversions (in either direction)? Bonus copies of Wild Talents? (I already own it, but other people might not.) At a higher level, some sort of full on supplement? Just spitballing here.

Creator Ironicus on August 9, 2012

The first priority should be improving the book further; more art, higher quality printing, better layout, etc. More adventures would be nice, possibly turning the 7k goal into the first part of a trilogy. I like the dice idea, too. Custom dice would be really nifty but just having a handful of generic d10s would be nice too.

Creator Mark Simulacra on August 9, 2012

"I'd love to see all of the prior (future) stretch goals (not counting the web-app) added into the Better Angels RPG since it will now be a sturdier hardback and can support the added pages." -Chris

I've got to second MidnightBlue's suggestion, it'd be really cool to have all of the previous/future stretch goals rolled together into the hardcover if at all reasonable (and provided that it'll stay well formatted.)

Creator Steven Thesken on August 9, 2012

Yes to superhero foes.

Creator gary mitchel on August 9, 2012

I agree with Thom Rowe: Some pre-made superhero groups to go up against would be nice. Some statted out, others just listed with locations/personality.

Also: Donate enough, and you get to be an NPC. Hero/Villain/Contact, etc, your choice from a list. A follow-up world/scenario book. Custom dice. A HAT ("I gave in to my Better Angels" "I joined with a demon and only got this stupid hat", etc) (These could also work as buttons).
