Progression Update & Backerkit!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Nov 24, 2020 at 05:55:27 PM

Hello, friends!

I have a couple items on the agenda for you all today!

Backerkit

First off, we still have about 13% of backers who need to go fill out Backerkit. This is where you pay shipping, confirm your address, and add any add-ons you might like. PDF backers still have to go fill this out for us. If you have misplaced the email, use the link below! We will be closing Backerkit this Friday night.

Playtesting

This is what everyone has been waiting for! I mentioned this multiple times, and here I am with some good news!

The new subraces/races and subclasses will be available for playtest in 2 weeks. We will be releasing this via PDF on our website. You will simply have to go download it there if you would like to try it out! For now, we will only be playtesting the classes and races with the 5e rule set.

About 2-3 weeks after that, we will be releasing the beginning of the adventure for playtest! The purpose of this playtest is to nail down how the book will run. The feedback we will be looking for is primarily about the setup of the adventure. More details on this will come in that update and release. Again, there will be a PDF download via our website!


That is pretty much it for now! Even if you do not have time to playtest, any feedback is welcome! We will setup an email address for those responses. More to come! Have a wonderful day and holiday week!


All the best,

Ben Barsh

Hello, friends!

Backerkit is now live! We have a multitude of add-ons available; however, I will break them down here for you as well! Remember, everyone has to fill out the Backerkit survey. This is where you confirm your shipping address and pay for shipping. If you do not see an email for it, you can use the link below!

Project Specific Add-Ons

Farrador: A History - $10 Physical/$5 PDF

This book will encompass all the known history of Farrador and how this land came to be. It will include extra information on each settlement as well as the history of how it has come to the modern point in time where you are adventuring.

It will also include the new classes, subclasses, races, subraces, magic items, and spells that you can encounter during your adventures. This way if you would like to take these new goodies to a different campaign, you can do so without carrying around your copy of Into the Unknown.

Into the Unknown Map Book - $10 Physical/$5 PDF

This is an add-on we have come up with from high demand! On all our recent projects, we have released a map booklet for the book. This map book includes all the maps in one place for you to use in other campaigns or situations. Since the maps in Into the Unknown will be cut up and shown as you explore, we wanted you to have them in the full form (the will be in the full form in the book as well) for any time you would like to use them in another game.

Poster Map of Farrador - $3 Physical 

This is a 17x11 map of Farrador. This is free to all physical backers via stretch goals; however, we did have some inquiries about having extras available. This can be used while playing so you do not have to flip back and forth between pages or simply put in a frame for you to proudly display for guests!

Extra Into the Unknown Books

By request, we have put each version of the book up for sale on Backerkit. Many people reached out about wanting extra copies, so they are there for you if you wish!

Pacesetter on YouTube!

Hey, friends!


I just wanted to take a moment to let you know we are officially on YouTube! We plan to do a lot of visual updates for our Kickstarters here. I think it will be really cool to see the behind the scenes of how our books come to life. We will also be uploading other D&D 5e and OSR content there! Also, we will do a giveaway at 500 subscribers! So tell your friends :)


The first video is a big thank you from myself, Ben Barsh. I also talk about my history with solo adventures and possible playtesting coming in the future! You can click the picture or the link below to be taken there!
