Campaign Wrap-Up! (“So...what now?”)
about 4 years ago – Tue, Oct 27, 2020 at 02:23:13 PM

First of all, a massive thank you.

You all absolutely blew away my hopes and expectations, and I am beyond honored and excited to be able to provide some fun new inspiration for your games!

What's Next?

Kickstarter is beginning to process payments for the campaign! This usually takes about 2 weeks. Once final confirmation from them has been received that all pledges have been processed, surveys will be sent out through the pledge manager system, called "BackerKit."

BackerKit (shipping, digital downloads, & add-ons)

In addition to collecting your shipping details, the surveys sent out via BackerKit will allow you to choose any add-ons for your reward that you already pledged extra for. At this step, you'll also be able to upgrade your pledge or choose additional add-ons for your reward. It is important that you fill out this survey as soon as possible once it's sent so that you can get your rewards ASAP!

When you fill out the survey and choose your rewards, this will also grant you access to any digital rewards for your pledge, including:

• The Final PDF of the book, with Stretch Goal content
• The Monster Cards
• The Masters of the Gauntlet Handbook – October Release
• The Gauntlet: Arena System BETA – Cosmic Edition (for all backers)
• The Expanded Dragon Apprentice Ranger (for all backers)
• The Draconic Language Edition of the book
• The “Draconic SC” font files (for personal use)

To prioritize getting the Cosmic Dragon Breviary itself out as soon as possible, you can expect the Cosmic Minions & More supplement to be delivered a few weeks later in December. Stay tuned for updates if you'll be receiving this reward!

That’s all for now!

Sincere thanks to all who helped bring this to life. If you're interested in seeing more Spectre Creations content, consider becoming a patron to help support the creation and development of more projects like this! And if you have any questions, feel free to comment below or message me here or on Discord.

As always friends, see you in the Arena!

This is it, everybody! Get your final pledges & add-ons in!

(More on add-ons can be found in the previous update.)

Dragon-Claw Sickle

(Showcasing more of the Draconic language as will be seen in the special Draconic Language edition of the book!)

===

As Kickstarter processes pledges over the next two weeks, I'll be releasing the final Stretch Goal content for the book. The artifact item, the Shard of Mîkhalôs, is well underway and should be released within the next day or two, which leaves just the Cosmic Spells and the Cosmic Knight Fighter subclass to be released within the next week or so.

Stay tuned for more updates of what to expect. The pledge manager system we'll be using is called "BackerKit," so be on the lookout for that. :)

Feel free to comment here or message me if you have any questions! Thanks again all.

Aberrant Dragons and Wormhole Drake previews! (+ a Project I Love)
about 4 years ago – Wed, Oct 21, 2020 at 09:34:58 AM

Happy Monday, all! We've just crossed into the final 48 hours of the campaign (EEP!) and I have some more Stretch Goal previews to share!

Wormhole Drakes & Aberrant Dragons

Project I Love – The Deck of Stories and NPC Cards 

A brand new storytelling tool in the DM's arsenal.

The Deck of Stories is a collection of interesting and captivating game hooks for you to use in your home game. The cards work together to make unique story arcs perfect for anyone trying to run a One-shot or write the next part of their campaign.

Also available are their NPC Cards, a collection of Pre-generated beautifully illustrated characters for you to use in your home game. Each NPC has a handful of traits that help define the character, yet still keep their background vague enough for them to be cast in any role. They could be a Noble, a Bartender, a Bandit. You name it!

If you're looking for a little bardic inspiration in your next game, check out the Deck of Stories HERE

That's all for now folks! Be sure to share the Cosmic Dragon Breviary around with any others that may be interested before the Kickstarter ends! More updates soon. :)

$13,000 Stretch Goal UNLOCKED: Special Edition Draconic Language Book is LIVE
about 4 years ago – Tue, Oct 20, 2020 at 10:05:53 AM

First, the previews:

The Details

Written in real draconic script, this Special Edition of the Cosmic Dragon Breviary will be written (almost) entirely in Draconic! (It will include a translation key for reference as well as some additional commentary.)

This version of the book is now available in a new top pledge level—“Phantasmagorical Backer (Draconic+)”—and as an add-on for any other pledge level simply by adding $15 to your current pledge.

The new top pledge level ($120) includes everything from the original Phantasmagorical Backer level and has been upgraded to include the recently unlocked Cosmic Minions & More PDF monster supplement, as well as this Special Edition of the book and the raw “Draconic SC” font files for you to install and use this font yourself! (These font files are also available as an add-on for $3.)

I've also made the decision to allow this new pledge level to be Unlimited—meaning once the original Phantasmagorical Backer ($100) level fills up, any additional availability for getting your distinguished named credit printed in the book will be on a first come, first served basis at this new pledge level.

So excited for what we're creating together. I can't even express how beyond thankful I am for all of your support getting this far. Let's keep reaching for the stars! And let me know if you have any questions!
