Latest Updates from Our Project:

Two Milestones! And a vision of the City.

We've surpassed £200,000 and are approaching 4,000 backers, both huge milestones for this project. Thanks again to everybody who's bravely hopped on board already.

I've had a few queries about the City Quest, which is hinted at throughout the Quickstart. While it's a purpose close to the heart of every Knight, it's also widely seen as sort of impossible to achieve, but that shouldn't stop you trying!

In fact, there is a secret extra Myth, with slightly different implementation, at the back of the Myth section in the complete book.

Of course, you'll need to reach the rank of Knight Radiant to even be considered worthy for this task, not something easily achieved in a lifetime. It'll be interesting to hear how often this actually makes it to the table. 

Oh, and here's a nice updated version of the cover piece.

Hello! 

Thanks again to everybody who's backed this. I'll be showing a preview of some yet unseen artwork in a few days, but in the meantime there's just another quick update. 

While I'll answer any questions asked here in the comments, I'm doing an AMA on Reddit tonight, so check it out if you have a question or want to see what other people ask.

I'll be there from 7-10pm GMT.

Bye for now!

Mythic Bastionland will Become Reality

Right. That's a pretty good first 24 hours!

"just" is perhaps an understatement

A huge thank you to everybody who backed this project so early. It's great to see so many people excited about the game.

Let's indulge in a little exploration of the numbers for this project so far:

  • Beat the funding goal in 5 minutes
  • Beat the total funding of Electric Bastionland in the first hour
  • Beat the total funding of Into the Odd Remastered in the first day

There's not much more to update on at this early stage, but I wanted to say thanks to everybody who's making this possible. Behind the scenes I'm continuing to polish up the writing and Alec is making the artwork. I'll be sure to share more of that as it gets finalised.

Until then, it's always useful if people can spread the word, and don't forget you can already start making Realms, rolling up Knights, and playing the game using the Quickstart

Thanks again!

Chris
