New Stretch Goals

Hey everyone, I have decided not to do any new stretch goals for Cinderedge. I am mainly hyper-aware of turnaround and shipping times, which leads me to think adding more content isn't the best idea. I am, of course, watching tariff news and want to be careful about adding costs with book upgrades. We're all good as of now, let's keep it that way instead of pushing our luck.

And boy howdy, there's nothing that gets you in the mood to play a game about trying to take care of yourself while the world burns, then watching the news about tariffs while trying to independently make games.

That said, I really believe in the project as it exists now, and I'm really happy with the stretch goals we unlocked, so in a very atypical Grant move (IYKYK), I am just going to let this one exist and be happy with what we accomplished together. 

Thank you all so much for backing the project. We have exceeded my goals for this and unlocked everything I wanted to do. Hope you have a beautiful autumn and spooky season!

New Reviews

We have some new reviews, takes, and peeks into Cinderedge. Check them out! Huge thanks to Cozy RPGs (I could listen to this voice ALL DAY) and Dave for checking the game out.  

🔥 All Stretch Goals Unlocked

Well...That's it. That's the campaign. You unlocked all my stretch goals in 2 days 😅. Book upgrades, Journal Upgrade, Soundtrack upgrade...Thank you. I am going to take the weekend and perhaps come back with some new ideas, but I want to make sure I don't do additions that would delay my production schedule.

Thank you, everyone. Seriously. 

New Review from Man Alone!

Did I just enjoy a solo journaling game?

Uhhhhh yall? 😅 SLOW DOWN (Kidding, Don't really do that)

1 - Early bird is still going! 
2 - I am running out of stretch goals fast! This is going faster than I anticipated... but I am certainly not complaining. 

I am, however, running out of stretch goals... fast.

The Hardcover edition now has all of the upgrades I wanted to do!

• Bookmark Ribbon, I am thinking gold, but maybe black would be cool... What do you think?
• Gilded Pages - Definitely gold
• A short story added to the end!! Thank you all so much. I really wanted to do this.
• Co-op prompts. I am very excited for this, I am going to write some alternative rules and new prompts for SPADES, which are the cards that deal primarily with MIND, that change create an alternate experience. Harry might get his very own Kim (IYKYK) and perhaps even some alternative endings. 

The Final Two Stretch Goals

...For now at least.

Both of these were actual stretch goals that I wasn't sure we'd reach, and in my opinion, they're really exciting. While it will change the height of the boxes, I really always wanted to do 120-page journals, and it's looking quite possible! 

I'm really proud of how this is all coming together. Thank you all for making it possible!

Thanks all! 

🔥Fire: Started ✅ We Are Funded!!

Thank you so much, Ward Keepers. Thanks to you, we are fully funded! 

We are climbing faster than I anticipated, so I am feeling good about our stretch goals, each of which enhances the campaign and book for everyone! Thank you all so much for being here. 

The first three all enhance the book, with some fancy frills and additional content. I always wanted to add a little story at the end documenting the first play-through, but the page count was getting up there. Thanks to you, that's looking promising! 

Thank you all so much. 

We have a lot more reviews coming, but for now, please check out these early peeks and impressions from Vala Gaming and Tabletop Gaming UK:

Boxes, Books, and Cards

It appears you can now update Kickstarter projects before you launch! This is a very welcome and much-needed feature. However, I'm unsure who sees these and whether folks get notifications when I post. If you could, please drop a like/comment if you are seeing this, and let me know where it showed up for you =) 

Some Sneak Peeks

I'm very excited to share with you the "Ward Keeper's Stash." This is essentially the core box, including

• Cinderedge: The softcover edition
• A deck of premium custom cards, these will be linen finish in a nice tuck box, every single card has a custom piece of artwork on it 
• Custom wooden d6 dice set, where the pips are constellations 
• The Ward Keeper's Log, an 88-page leatherette, stamped cover, perfect-bound journal (I hope to increase the page count in stretch goals) 

All in a really beautiful, fully printed on magnetic-close clamshell box.

Without further ado, some sneak peeks.

See you Oct 7th, 10 AM EST for the beginning of the end. 

Thanks,
Grant
