See what’s beyond the walls in our next stretch goal!

Another stretch goal is down for the count!

All you lucky backers at $20 and up will receive a copy of The Second Fall and Other Stories as soon as that’s finished. (And of course we’ll keep you updated on that timeline as soon as we know more.) A completed campaign, right at your fingertips! What can we say? We like to pre-plan when it comes to our revolutions.

For those of you still on the fence (or the walls, if you will), we think this next stretch goal is going to knock you right off it. At $37,500, we’re going to start work on the Beyond the Walls supplement. As with the others, this will be an electronic product, but it’ll come in at a whopping 10,000 words! What if your revolutionaries end up fleeing Paris Nouveau under duress? Where will they go? Beyond the Walls focuses on a new city beyond the walls, with a different style of oppression. It’ll include a setting write up, a trio of missions, and a new social class with three new playsheets.

Let’s get cracking on this new stretch goal and find out what’s behind the walls. Dum dum DUUUUUM. We spare no expense when it comes to stretch goal sound effects. Can you tell?

Thanks, as always, for your support, citoyens!

Safehouses and Hotspots funded! A new stretch goal announcement!
about 6 years ago – Tue, May 01, 2018 at 01:26:14 AM

Woop! You’ve unlocked the Safehouses and Hotspots supplement! We feel safer and hotter already. Not sure that’s what was intended there, but we’re going with it.

Without further ado, we’d like to announce the next stretch goal, The Second Fall and Other Stories. Here’s how this one works—Uprising contains a selection of ready-to-go missions. Many of them are stand-alone, but some of them connect into a loose story arc. The Second Fall and Other Stories will provide a ready-made campaign with story arcs broken down into six connected missions. Run them as a full campaign, or pick and choose your favorites. When we hit $27,500, we’ll start work on this 5000 word electronic supplement.

We’ve just updated the preview PDF! The new version has a few minor fixes, and a separate file for the playbooks to make printing them just a bit easier. The download info is in Update 1, if you need it again.

As always, you are our favorite secret society members. Thank you for your support. We are doing the virtual secret handshake with you right now. Wait. You don’t know what’s in the handshake? I guess that makes sense. It IS secret, after all.

Funded! Vive La Résistance!

Thanks to all of you highly efficient and motivated revolutionaries, we sprinted past not just our funding threshold, but also our first stretch goal! We’re going to have to requisition some more stretch goals if you keep this up. (Please note: we are not complaining!)

In the meantime, let’s review what we’ve unlocked:

  • The instant PDF download: Did you miss that? Go to the first backers-only update to get your copy and start reading now!
  • Uprising: The Dystopian Universe RPG: You can get your copy in physical and electronic formats! To get the electronic only, pledge at the $20 level. To get both, pledge at the $39 level.
  • Evil Hat Electronic Prize Pack: We’ll make this available to backers at $20 and up after the pledge levels lock in at the end of the campaign. You’ll get some of our existing games, and some never-before sneak peeks of new stuff!
  • POD Secrets Deck Coupon: Another bonus for backers at $20 and up after pledge level lock in. You’ll be able to order your POD secrets deck at cost! The deck will be 13 cards, so "at cost" should equal "less than $2."

Next up in our stretch goal list, we’re looking at the Paris Nouveau Corporate Catalog. The Uprising book comes with two-page descriptive spreads on eight different corporations, plus some ideas on how to build your own. The Corporate Catalog will make meeting your corporation needs even easier, expanding the corporate profiles with equipment lists (fun things to buy or steal!), implants (new tech to hack!), and corporation contacts (new people to bribe!). At $17,500, we start work on this approximately 5000 word electronic supplement. It’ll be like a catalog of plot ideas right at your fingertips. Too bad we can’t download them straight to our neural chips, isn’t it? 

Although maybe that’s not such a bad thing after all, come to think of it...

The Corporate Catalog unlocks at $17,500, so let’s get cracking! Take to the streets. Bribe, manipulate, or mind control people into pledging, just like we’re on the gritty streets of Paris Nouveau.

I’m kidding. Please don’t do those things. But if you’d like to share links to the Kickstarter, that would be great. Thanks, citoyens, for all your support!
