TWO STRETCH GOALS DOWN!

Holy crap!
I have been so blown away by your support for this campaign so far! Just 5.5ish hours in (not counting the server outage this morning) and we're already over 200% funded, having blasted through not one but TWO stretch goals!?
To put this into perspective for you, we have already raised more than my last big 5e project raised over the first 48 hours of its campaign.
New Stretch Goals
I've added a new pair of stretch goals for us to knock down. First up is an expansion of the artwork! This goal will fund the creation of unique symbols for every boon, blessing, and charm in the book. You can see some examples of these symbols in the backer-exclusive part of this update (view it in your browser for that). The symbols I currently have were intended to be used as spot pieces in the book and as backgrounds on the cards showing the rarity of each boon or blessing, but if we meet this next stretch goal EVERY card will have a unique symbol on it! The idea behind these symbols is for them to be a mark or tattoo showing the presence of the blessing/boon/charm on the individual that it's been granted to.
I'm also adding a (currently secret) stretch goal for early bird backers! Keep up the pace we've set, and I'm sure I'll be revealing that in no time🎉

Thank you so much everyone!
With the delays this morning I was definitely nervous for a little while, but now I'm just excited!Â
We're funded and well on our way to our first stretch goal of the campaign. Reaching that goal will allow me collaborate with some good friends of mine in the TTRPG community, Matthew and Fernando of Abyssal Brews! They're well known for their fantastic magic item designs, and this stretch goal will see Matthew design some new boons, blessings, pacts, and/or charms alongside illustration by Fernando for the book AND the reference card box set.
I've added an Achievement tracker for the stretch goal and the next one to the page so you track our progress as we go!
Thanks again for your incredible turnout and your patience in dealing with the server outages for the first hour and a half, and I'm excited to see how far we can go today!

Launching Tomorrow!

The final countdown has begun - Tome of Intangible Treasures launches in less than 24 hours!
As we wait for launch, please continue sharing the page with friends! We've had a fair number of last-minute follows bring us above 1000, and I'd love to see that number as high as possible going into launch.
Finally, I've also got some more preview content for you today! I've updated the Launch Party page with the Rewards and Add-Ons sections so you can start taking a look at what's on offer, and of course I have the outcome of the last Play-by-Poll for you with some follower-exclusive content below.
After the defeat of the cult, the primordial nature spirit offered you power, blessing you with the flowing agility of the wind and the driving force of rain.
Preview Content and the Next Play-by-Poll

Seems like you all liked the last poll I did, so I'm doing another one! But first, the outcome of the last one:
With the threat the cult posed to the primordial nature spirit residing in these woods, you made your plans to remove them. Some of you would infiltrate the cult and make ready, while the rest of you gathered your strength outside. When the time came to strike, your actions were swift and those that survived the onslaught - whether more innocent members inducted into the cult or those who escaped to find a place to build their power elsewhere - would remember what came to pass.Â
-
Those who laid in wait and led the preparations became known for their excellent judgement and stratagems, looked to for leadership in battles to come.
-
Those who had infiltrated the cult were spoken of as though they had the abilities of a doppelganger, hindering their future attempts at reforming the cult for a lack of trust in fellow members.Â
I've included a pair of titles below that you might have earned to represent the outcome, and the next poll asks you what kind of reward you accept from the nature spirit - or whether you'll bargain with it for even more power!
Also, if you haven't yet voted on the live stream poll and are interested in watching a live stream around the campaign launch time, you should get your vote in before Saturday! I'll only do a live stream if there's enough interest. You can find the poll by scrolling to the bottom of the Launch Party page and heading to highlight 7/7.
More Preview Content and a New Poll!

Because the results of the last poll were so close across three categories, I'm sharing a couple more previews today related to that poll. I've also attached a new poll to this update to help determine the next bit of preview content!
For this poll, I wanted to try something like a "play by poll" for you, giving you a few options for how you'd handle a situation you encounter as an adventuring party and then using those results to determine what reward(s) you'd get. Let me know if you like this format - I'll probably do more of them!
Finally, as always, make sure you're following the page to show me you're ready for launch! I'm looking to get to 1000 followers before launch to make sure the project is successful.
