Funding Successful

This project successfully raised its funding goal on November 30.

Pledge $2 or more Pledge $2 or more

20 Backers

You get Z-Ward as a PDF. Keen! This is an advance copy — any errata or post-publication changes (like thank you's) will be added to future versions, which you'll totally get.

Estimated Delivery: Nov 2011

Pledge $5 or more Pledge $5 or more

23 Backers

This is the same as the $2 reward but I'll throw in the Action Castle PDF (which contains all the basic rules to Parsely, as well as the kick-ass game that started all this insanity)! Plus: a Parsely PDF micro-green (a mini-game, yay).

Estimated Delivery: Nov 2011

Pledge $10 or more Pledge $10 or more

32 Backers • Limited Reward (168 of 200 remaining)

You get both the print version of Z-Ward (shipping included) and a free PDF version of the game (as soon as it's available in November), plus your name recorded on the Z-Ward web page's "Board of Trustees."

Estimated Delivery: Dec 2011

Pledge $15 or more Pledge $15 or more

94 Backers • Limited Reward (106 of 200 remaining)

This level nets you the $10 reward plus PDFs of all of the other Parsely games—that's more than a half-dozen games! You'll also get a big wet virtual kiss on the Z-Ward web page.

Estimated Delivery: Nov 2011

Pledge $20 or more Pledge $20 or more

9 Backers • Limited Reward (191 of 200 remaining)

Imagine the $15 reward but with a second copy of Z-Ward. Can you do that? THAT'S WHAT THIS IS! All of the Parsely PDFs and two printed versions of Z-Ward—give one to a friend who beats the game!

Estimated Delivery: Dec 2011

Pledge $25 or more Pledge $25 or more

17 Backers • Limited Reward (183 of 200 remaining)

You'll receive the print and PDF versions of Z-Ward (shipping included) and your name recorded on the Z-Ward web page's Board of Trustees. We'll also send you a Parsely starter pack featuring print versions of Action Castle 1 and 2!

Estimated Delivery: Dec 2011

Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more

71 Backers • Limited Reward (129 of 200 remaining)

This is one of the big ones. Donate 50 clams and you'll receive the entire Parsely series (a total of 8 games in both print and PDF) and your name in the game (listed in the "in-patient roster"). I know, right? Madness!

Estimated Delivery: Dec 2011

Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more

11 Backers • Limited Reward (89 of 100 remaining)

For a solid Benjamin, you'll get everything from the $50 reward, plus signed copies of my RPG books: Lacuna and InSpectres. Be one of the first five $100+ pledges and you'll get a Z-Ward NPC named after you! Right now, they don't have names. Sad panda.

Estimated Delivery: Dec 2011

Pledge $250 or more Pledge $250 or more

1 Backer • Limited Reward (4 of 5 remaining)

What can you get for $250? Plenty. Get all the rewards mentioned thus far and I'll get on the train to anywhere within NY, CT, NJ or PA and run through some Parsely games with you and your friends. A great deal for local convention organizers.

Estimated Delivery: Jan 2012

Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more

0 Backers • Limited Reward (3 of 3 remaining)

A generous albeit ridiculous pledge of $500 gets you the above-mentioned goodies plus I will hand-deliver these suckers to anywhere within the East Coast of the US and we'll play some Z-Ward and other games. That means a plane ride, kids...and I hate flyin'.

Estimated Delivery: Feb 2012

Pledge $750 or more Pledge $750 or more

0 Backers • Limited Reward (2 of 2 remaining)

This is crazy-town. You've been warned! For 750 simoleons you'll get all the stuff listed above but I'll travel to anywhere within the continental United States — ugh, more planes.

Estimated Delivery: Mar 2012

Pledge $1,500 or more Pledge $1,500 or more

0 Backers • Limited Reward (1 of 1 remaining)

The Pledge-pocalyse is here. For $1500, I will rock the house. YOUR HOUSE. Not only will I bring copies of all my games to your domicile/convention, but I'll design and publish a custom Parsely game based on a theme and genre of your choosing! Of course, you'll get your name in the credits, creative input and a big thank you for supporting my Parsely games. To top it off, you'll receive 30 copies of the finished product to pass on to friends and family members. There is no way anyone is going to do this but what the hell? I'm insane...!

Estimated Delivery: Mar 2012
