Hello everyone,

It's my hope to launch the Kickstarter for the Grand Tome of Adversaries very soon. However, the one point I'm stuck on is the special reward pledge tiers.

I'm not keen on doing more special characters, so I'm open for anything you think would be an exciting option.

If you have an idea, please feel free to share.

Thank you!

I can't think of any good pledge levels to offer that aren't in-game items or the opportunity for people to contribute something to the book. I am interested though, so are you able to give us a preview of some of the pledge levels you have? Or do you know when the KS will be submitted?

Hello,

One of the high level reward tiers I was considering was to offer a seat at a private online campaign that would last a about a year (10 to 11 sessions) once a month. This would be just like a home game with all new material (i.e. no previously released adventures will be used).

First - would this be of interest?

Second - I have a concern about getting only one or two people to sign up for this. I would need a minimum or 4 (6 max) to do this.

Third - Cost. Although you get a book and the PDF as well as all the electronic stretch goals, I can't see doing this for less than $1000.00 a seat. I ran a session for Arcanis, which was only a session (5 hours or so) and charged $300 a seat. This would be 10 times as much game time, but I can't charge 10 times $300.

Thoughts?

Henry -

I am thinking that, while very cool, most of us cannot justify that cash outlay :( I would scale it back - $100-300 is probably manageable by some, but $1000 is just too high, I think.

Although the session you ran for us in Arcanis was PHENOMENAL and if I had $1000, I would justify it somehow ;)

Just my 2 cents.

Hello Jeff,

That's my thought as well, but I just can't justify running a campaign for a year for $300.

I think I'll just nix that idea.

Too rich for my blood, that's for sure. I'd buy a ticket for the nose-bleed section though.

I think it sounds like a fun idea, but the logistics (of finding time for that many people over the next year) and price would probably keep it out of most pledge ranges.

You might consider a custom adventure/set of adventures that you write for that pledge level. Those that pledge can then run the adventure on their own. This could be something like $200-$300 dollar.

Could a group of people pool their money to pony up say $300 bucks for the special mod? That could be a good work around for those strapped for cash. 50 bucks is way easier to come up with for us po' folk. :) Although I'd be just as cool to have the money go toward mod production in general for everybody to play. I know my Stalker character would be happy with a high quality rifle or melee weapon, he's not much into the books and such.

I think if there is more than 1 allowed for a reward level of that type, how they get their money is up to them :) I could see that if there are 6 openings for that reward, you might get 6 different groups pulling their money or a mix of that and individuals who want the unique mod.
