Nevermore Roleplaying Game

Stretch Goal #2 - A Nevermore Short Story by Richard Dansky is Unlocked!

Greetings fellow investigators of the darkness,

The Kickstarter is moving apace quite nicely.  I had a fun interview with Phil over at The Dark Orb. In case you want to hear me ramble about Nevermore and being a game designer in general I placed a link under the media section of the Kickstarter. 

The second stretch goal has been achieved! 

The talented and incomparable Richard Dansky, the author of Ghost of a Marriage and developer for Wraith: The Oblivion will be writing a short story set in the world of Nevermore. This story will be featured in the opening of the core rulebook. I can't wait to see what sinister and terrifying tale he cooks up.

The next stretch goal is unlocked at $13,500. 

This stretch goal is The Curse of Whisky Springs another of the adventures I have run as playtests and takes place in the fictional town of Whiskey Springs in the mountains of south central Pennsylvania. Anyone who has ever been to PA knows that there is evil in those woods. Don't believe me, just look up how many horror films have been filmed there! This Nevermore tale begins with a visit from a distressed young lady who hands the protagonists a newspaper clipping about the drowning and then tries to swiftly depart. I daren't say more lest I spoil the surprise.

Keep your eyes peeled, because a new stretch goal will be posted shortly.  If you have thoughts or ideas as to the types of stretch goals you'd like to see, post them here. I can't make any promised, but you never know. 

Thank you all for your support and especially the person who took us to 12k today! Don't forget to tell a friend!

Thank you all so much for getting us this far. The first stretch goal, a PDF adventure called The Hound of Lichfield is now unlocked for backers of the Scholar of Mysteries level or higher.  The Hound was one of the most popular adventures during the playtesting of Nevermore and is featured in the actual play on Nat21Adventures. 

The story opens with our protagonists learning about the legend of a black hound that appears in the sleepy lumber town of Lichfield in upstate New York every year on the eve of All Hallows. Each time it appears, it takes a single life and then vanishes for another year. 

Now on to the next Stretch Goal!

We did it! Nevermore is fully funded which means all of you will be getting your books, PDFs, playing cards, and wooden nickels. Thank you everyone! It's been a long two days but this is incredible. I can't believe we made it in under 36 hours! I'm humbled and honored that you all came out to give so much support. 

And more to come! I'll be posting the Stretch Goals shortly and I promise there's some cool stuff. I could ramble on more here, but I think you'd rather have me get those goals up.

 More to come. Thank you all!

Wow! Nevermore is 80% Funded!

What an amazing first day! Gothic literature has been near and dear to me for… well forever. I’ve been working so hard on this game for so long and it's truly wonderful to see so many people come out to support my vision.

Thanks to you all, we are at just over 80% of our goal! I know we can reach 100% today, especially if you help spread the word.

Funding in the first 48 hours is vital because it means that we get more support and visibility from Kickstarter and the gaming media. And perhaps more importantly, we get to unveil some of the awesome stretch goals. I know you all are going to be excited to see them!

To help us reach that goal, I am asking each of you to tell one friend about Nevermore today. Just one. Posting on a Discord channel or Facebook that you backed it and are excited about the game also goes a long way toward spreading the word.

Thanks again for your support! It means a lot to me.
