With this sixth stretch goal unlocked (and even a little before that), Tome of Intangible Treasures has become my most funded crowdfunding campaign ever! I'm just absolutely amazed at what you've all helped me achieve in less than a week since launch, and - though I've said it already, and I'm sure I'll keep saying it again - I am just so excited to see how far this project will go.

Unlocking Pact Patrons means I will be including a number of entities of each type in the book, complete with illustrations, lore, personality, and everything else you need to drop them into your game - including one from Abyssal Brews to go along with the content they're designing for the very first stretch goal we unlocked!

There's one more stretch goal we're near completion of, and that's the goal to reach 750 backers. But, with the last currently revealed funding stretch goal down it's time to reveal another one!

When we reach $70k, I'll be upgrading all hardcover copies with bookmark ribbons and all copies of the reference card box sets with metallic edges for an even more thematic feel!

We're also solidly entering the middle of the campaign where increases in funding become slow but steady. Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be starting some Discussions and Polls with some questions for all of you, and probably making a return to the "Play-by-Poll" style preview content reveals I tried out just before launch. And, of course, you're all welcome to create your own Discussion topics if there's anything you're wondering or keen on talking about yourself!

In the meantime, please keep sharing the campaign with your friends (and local game stores!) - word of mouth is always a powerful force for crowdfunding projects.

Thanks as always for your support, and I look forward to having some fun discussions over the next couple of weeks with all of you!

I opted to "extend" the Early Bird goal by an extra hour (since no one could actually back during the first hour or so of the campaign due to the server outages, I feel like that shouldn't count as part of the 72 hours), and we met the last two pledges we needed just before the window ended!

SO - anyone that pledged for a physical copy of Tome of Intangible Treasures before 12pm Central today is getting a free d6 on top of the d20 as their early bird reward!

In addition to the financial stretch goals we still have coming up, I wanted to add some goals based on the total backer count! I had a great experience with backer-submitted and backer-voted content for Injuries and Vile Deeds, and I wanted to include that in this campaign as well.

Our first of these stretch goals will be for 750 backers. When we get to that number, I'll commit to collecting ideas for types of Histories you're all interested in seeing in the book. Once ideas submission has occurred, I'll sift through them and pick out the most demanded and most interesting ideas and we'll put it to a vote for the top five!

Each stretch goal of this type will add either another set of content or a new type of content for you all to submit and vote on (for example if we meet the Pact Patron stretch goal - which we're well on track to do in the next few days - I'll make a stretch goal to add some backer-voted patrons to the book).

You just keep knocking down stretch goals! With this unlock, each and every master trainer in the book will have a high-quality portrait illustrated for them.

Our next goal is a bit loftier, and aims to add another new type of content to the book! Pact Entities are beings that you can use in your game, whether as allies or enemies, who are capable of entering into pacts. Each entity will be fully illustrated and come with lore, plot hooks, descriptions, and probably some form of stat block (you know, in case your party decides they want out of a pact the violent way!)

If we hit this goal, it will also expand on our first goal, with Matthew and Fernando of Abyssal Brews working together to create a pact entity that would grant some of the pacts and/or boons that will be added as part of their initial stretch goal content!

You'll also notice that the funding goal for stretch goals is starting to space out a bit. I want to add that beyond the stretch goals to add specific content, the more funding we raise in general the more funding there is for me to add extra illustrations to the book.

Finally, we're just about 60 backers away from adding a free d6 to all physical early bird pledges! There's only a little over 24 hours left to hit this goal, so if you've been thinking about upgrading to physical or been waiting to pledge now is the best time to do so!

Thanks again for all of your incredible support so far, and I look forward to seeing how many more stretch goals we can smash through in the weeks to come!

I woke up to yet another stretch goal broken! With this goal exceeded, we're adding Epic Trainings to the book! As I mentioned in the last update, I'm still thinking through the exact details of how they'll work, and I'd love to incorporate backer feedback. If you have thoughts on how you'd like to see them shape up - whether they should be more or less similar to advanced trainings with class-specific features and whether they should replace advanced trainings or function independently - I'd love to hear from you in the comments!

I've added THREE new stretch goals! Two are funding based and one is for the early bird reward.

If we get 400 physical backers before the early bird period ends on Friday at 9am pacific, I will be adding an extra free d6 to all early bird physical pledges! You all have so exceeded my expectations for launch that I wanted to give you a little something extra as thanks, and this seemed like a great way to do it. Those of you getting the full set will have 2d20 for when you roll with advantage/disadvantage, and we always could use more d6s in our gaming lives. This goal has to be manually updated, so I'll try to keep up with it as best I can throughout my workday but it might be a bit sporadic.



The next funding stretch goal will expand NPC artwork in the book by providing funding for a full-color portrait for every master trainer in the book! Master trainers are the one piece of content not included in the preview PDF. They serve as teachers for the advanced trainings and will come with a bit of lore, personality, and description as well as three hooks to introduce them to your game and use as a quest for which you could offer the training as a reward (whether that quest is the training or if it's a matter of locating and convincing the instructor to teach them). I've included an example trainer in the backer-only content of the update (view this update in your browser to see those!)

Mr. Tarrasque put out a great video this morning covering the campaign!

With this third stretch goal down, we've locked in unique symbols for EVERY boon, blessing, and charm in the book!

Our next stretch goal is for Epic Trainings. Epic trainings will function similarly to advanced trainings, but are designed for higher level characters. I'm still thinking through exactly how they'll work, but I'm currently targeting something less class-specific and a little more archetype-specific. 

I'd love to hear from you how you think they should work in your ideal world! For example, would you prefer that they work alongside advanced trainings, or should they replace them?
