It's hard to believe that thirty days has passed so fast. This has been a thrilling ride, and we're more grateful than we can express. 

We've already begun setting up backer kit, and are getting the surveys ready to get you your rewards as smoothly as we can. We expect a delay of a couple of weeks for funding to clear, but meanwhile we're going to keep going on the work needed for the stretch goals and get ready to print all the books and cards.

This has been an amazing journey, and we're so glad you could all join us.

$4k Funding Goal Reached - Encounter Cards Unlocked

$4k Funding Goal Reached - Encounter Cards Unlocked

First and foremost, thank you, ALL of you so much for helping fund Soul for the Ocean Dark. Even though it's not our first adventure, it IS out first kickstarter, and we've gotten an unbelievable amount of support from you all. We're so blown away; we cannot express enough how much this means to all of us. 

But enough of all that, let's get to what you really want to hear about. Let's get into the good stuff....

Stretch Goal Progress

That's right, you've unlocked the custom 0 Level Professions, 5e SRD compatibility, Monster cards and EVEN the Encounter card deck!  We've got a lot to cover to, so lets start tearing through it shall we! 

Custom 0 Level Professions

Professions are nearly complete as our author has been diligently fleshing them out. There is a lot of fun stuff there that really fits into the world and its culture.

Monster and Encounter Cards

We've also already starting work on the cards and have begun laying them out and getting artwork for them. 

We're liking the direction they are going and we think you'll really love them. Monster cards will have a large artwork on the backs to be able to display to players without giving away stats, and the fronts of course will have the reference statistics of the monsters.

Each card will have a DCC variant, and a 5e variant, which means no matter WHICH system you use one can be used as a display aid for players, and the other can be used for combat reference. 

Encounter cards have a uniform back like a traditional playing card deck, so cards can be drawn randomly to generate encounters. All the encounters in the book can be generated with the encounter cards without needing to roll on tables, and giving the PLAYERS a chance to draw their own fates.

New Reward Tier - The Player

We've made a new reward tier just for players called, conveniently, The Player! 

We wanted to add this to give players a chance to chip into the project, and get a little something out of it. The Player level will include special credits in the book, as well as a Player Handout PDF to introduce them to the world and get them started on making their characters.

It's a lot of fun, and really should really add to the adventure.

Secrets of the Deep Goals

Now it's time to go... deeper. Into the darkest depths, beyond the expected and into our most lunatic of plans...

We're happy to official announce our own line of limited edition miniatures, so you can drop the very creatures which stalk the land, rule the sky and terrorize the sea right in front of the players!

All of the models will be professionally digitally modeled based on these prototypes and manufactured by a professional 3d printing studios using jewelry grade printers to create high quality durable and detailed miniatures. 

•  Unlocked at $6k: The Nightshroud Crabstrosity - Hulking Armored Titan   - $20 Addon Reward
•  Unlocked at $8k: The Glider - Razor-toothed Ray-shark Hunter of the Deep - $20 Addon Reward
•  Unlocked at $10k: The Boro - Apex Predator of the Sky - $20 Addon Reward

Once they are unlocked any of the miniatures can be added to any reward tier by pledging $20 per miniature. All pledge funds in excess of your selected reward will be credited towards addons, which you can select after the campaign completes.

Questions? Comments? Let us know!

As always we love to hear from you, and if you have any comments, concerns or questions that need answering please let us know! We want to make this the best possible experience for you that we can.

Only one week since our last stretch goal was unlocked and we're already at 300% funding! Now only $150 from our last public stretch goal! 

Expect to learn what the secrets of the deep stretch goals are, and perhaps even the mythical crush depth goal!

But for now, a sneak peek into the deeps...
