Here are, in fact, almost all the buttons we’ll be giving away at our booth at Gen Con this year! (Tell me which one will be there but isn’t pictured and win a much-desired no-prize!) Just like last year, every day of the con we’ll have different themed buttons for each day. Once we give them all out they are gone, so get to the booth early!

We’ll also have give-away cards for rerolls, extra Willpower, and for Fortune for Pugmire. And new Pugmire and Scion 2nd Edition posters, as well as our famous two-sided Scion and Trinity Continuum poster brought back by popular acclaim!

 

 

 

As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, we’re evolving our booth this year to give folks a chance to demo our various games, either with brief intros to the games and systems, or longer demos (20 minutes-ish), right there at the booth. Just ask Merry Mike Hollywood or Boppin’ Bill Bodden, our booth managers, if you want to try a demo. It’s a great chance to learn about some of the games we have that you might not have had a chance to play, or are new to you.

We will also have copies of our most recent PoD releases you might not have had a chance to order yet, including the Chronicles of Darkness Dark Eras fiction anthology physical book premiering at Gen Con this year! Look for Mage 20th, CofD Dark Eras, Exalted 3rd, and a bunch of other books!

 

 

 

You can find a link to our events, like panels and tabletop gaming, below in the BLURBS! section, but speaking of our panels:

HEY FOLKS READING THIS THAT AREN’T GOING TO GEN CON! If you want to send us questions to answer at our panels, write them to me here in the comments section of this blog and we’ll try and drop them into the Q&A sections of our Gen Con panels!

 

 

 

So that’s some more convention stuff, and our other big news was the wrap-up (with a blood-soaked bow) of the Deluxe V20 Beckett’s Jyhad Diary Kickstarter this weekend. We received amazing support from our V20 community and pretty much blew through all the Stretch Goals we had planned, adding 6 regular chapters as well as a larger than planned “Omega” chapter that will touch on how our other V20 books relate to Beckett’s discoveries.

I knew going into the KS that the high cost of the deluxe book might put some people off pledging, as we needed to cover the higher costs of creating the sort of deluxe cover that would feel like a “travel journal” for Beckett. But, after all, being able to do something truly different is really the point of a Kickstarter like this. Nevertheless, support far exceeded expectations – and a big thanks to everyone who pledged and who propelled us past 1100 backers and over $116,000.

We’ll be using BackerKit for the back-end of this Kickstarter campaign, so not only will backers be able to upgrade their pledges and add more Add-ons, but if you missed the KS you’ll be able to still contribute for a deluxe book and other things like the V20 deluxe dice set.

Thanks again!

 

BLURBS!

KICKSTARTER!

With the Deluxe V20 Beckett’s Jyhad Diary Kickstarter over, we’re looking at our next KS campaign being for Scion 2nd Edition in late August. More news when we have it!

Five dark turns at the wheel, helmed by the talented hands of veteran talespinners Lisa Morton, Stefan Petrucha, Malcolm Sheppard, Greg Stolze, and Mercedes M. Yardley.
