FOTN:R 20th Anniversary Edition Update
After a few short days we are at about 33% of our goal! We are humbled by the tremendous enthusiasm we have seen from our fans. We are starting our long journey to Gen Con tomorrow, so I'd like to take this opportunity to send a small update to our donors (our extended FOTN family)...
1) We received a lot of questions about shipping costs (especially international) and we are in the process (with a small GenCon delay) of building prototype packages of the swag and will be pricing them out with local courier companies and the major snail mail carriers to the major gamer destinations.
2) We are also in the process of setting up pledge gifts to stores/distributors. If you're one, let us know what you would most like to see (bulk books, bulk runes, bulk boxed sets, etc).
3) Third on our priority list are providing quality upgrades to existing pledge levels. For example some donors are asking for semi-precious stones with their current pledge, or a cloth map instead of the poster one. Keep the requests coming and we'll see what the best solution would be to accommodate.
We would love to see you at Gen Con and give you a personal thanks for your patronage, so don't be shy and swing on by for a game! :) We may be a little incommunicado the next few days, but it doesn't mean we're disengaged. In fact we will be working day and night to get the message out. We'd also appreciate any buzz you can generate in you personal/professional networks to get us to the goal and beyond. We have some interesting stretch goal ideas coalescing (foreign translations, iOS app, more FOTN:R lore, etc) but we're staying focused on our next milestone which is hitting the 10k mark!
May the Norns deal you a favourable destiny!
Andrew

When those runes become available will they replace the "precious" stone options? Cause I'd rather have color coded for ease of Game play.
Creator Andrew Valkauskas on August 21, 2012
Colour coded runes are what we are sourcing with various manufacturers now. Some don't meet our quality standards, some take too long to produce (not scalable), so we continue to source more samples until we are satisfied that the quality and production will meet your satisfaction.
Creator Papa Bear on August 20, 2012
I like the idea of having custom game piece runes made that are color coded to represent the different trait categories. I believe you had Red/Blue/Green runes in a video that was Red=Physical and Blue=Mental and so on. Having the runes that are used as traditional divination as game pieces distract from them I think and requires a game aid sheet to teach what each one represents which causes for game lag time. I like having runes that are colored to represent the "trait" catagory they fit into. Just my opinion.
