New Pledge Tier Unlocking Tomorrow (Friday)
over 1 year ago – Sat, Sep 10, 2022 at 05:47:12 AM

Salutations Scientific Adventurers,

We've received a number of telegrams and garbled radio signals indicating that you'd like to see the new pledge tiers and unlockables sooner rather than later, and we are happy to oblige.

 UNLOCKED! New Remorseless Loot Crate Pledge: 

The new Remorseless Loot Crate Pledge Tier ($100) will open at 12:00 noon Eastern US Time on Friday September 9th. The Remorseless Loot Crate includes a whole heap of the merch: 

• Book + pdf
• Choice of t-shirt 
• DrG patch
• Copper officer's pin
• Weapons & Gizmos sticker sheets 
• DrG dice bag 
• Oversized Malfunction d20 (new unlock) 
• Malfunction zine (new unlock) 
• DrG GM screen (new unlock) 

The number of backers for this tier is unlimited, so for that reason, it does not include the signed bookplate or Onslaught.

75 Slots Added to Scientifically Certified Loot Crate:

But, for those of you who missed out on the Scientifically Certified Loot Crate, which does include signed bookplate and Onslaught, we are unlocking another 75 backer slots at that level--also at noon Eastern US time tomorrow.  

So what about all those shiny new unlocked bits mentioned above? Jolly glad you asked...

UNLOCKED! Polyhedral Paraphernalia (Part 2) 

A custom DrG, oversized d20 die. It's got a sexy Righteous Bison raygun in the 20 spot and a dangerously malfunctioning Righteous Bison raygun in the 1 spot. The die will be included for free in all Scientifically Certified and Remorseless Loot Crates. Also available as an add-on for $8. (Photos coming shortly)
 

UNLOCKED!  Wondrous Worlds 

Additional Book Content + A Field Guide to Malfunctions zine. Added to the book: Secrets & Plot Hooks section and Encounter Tables for each of the four core worlds.  A Field Guide to Malfunctions, a 20-page zine containing all eight Malfunction Tables for handy (assuming you've got at least one left after the malfunction) reference at the table will be included free in all Elite Fatigues, Scientifically Certified, and Remorseless Loot Crates. Also available as an add-on for $8. (Photos coming shortly)

 
UNLOCKED!  Shields Up! 

Custom DrG GM Screen (that's GM for Grordbortian Mastermind) will be included free with all Scientifically Certified and Remorseless Loot Crates. Also available as an add-on for $17.60. (Photos coming shortly)

Now that's a lot of stuff what! Here's a chart to help keep it all straight.

over 1 year ago – Fri, Sep 09, 2022 at 02:25:37 PM

Right, let's get caught up on all those stretch goals you gentlepeople and scholars unlocked.

#4 - Copper Colorway Pin Available as Add-On

#5 - Twelve Unique Scientific Items Added to Book

We'd call them unique magic items, but that would be very unscientific.

What good is all that cracking kit if you can't admire it? Tart up your character sheet with these scientifically tested adhesives and get a load of your loadout! Price TK.

 #7 - Fifth Track Added to Soundtrack

Deliciously industrial ambiance complete with authentic zaps, sparks, steam blasts, and hi-fi voltage.

Free Righteous Bison Indivisible Particle Smasher ray-pistol .STL file for 3-D printing.

Sciencerely,

Brian

More information to come on each stretch goal as they are unlocked. 

"What about the previously unlocked Stretch Goals?" you say?

More on those to come shortly.

Thanks for the support!! 

Stretch Goal #2: The Harsh Mistress
over 1 year ago – Tue, Aug 30, 2022 at 04:42:41 PM

Sure, it's pleasant to gaze up at the Moon of an evening. But don't be charmed by its lovely bulbosity. It's dangerous up there...and even more so thanks to the unlocking of this stretch goal. Added to the bestiary, these lunar lifeforms:

• Lewis's Lunar Lizards
• Rampaging Servos
• Crows with Grenades
• Wee Cave Terrors
• Fitzwick's Fungal Reptiles
• Racoons with Switchblades
• Rampaging Valet-bots
• Juvenile Cave Terrors
• Rampaging Chef-bots
• Emmentaler Disembowelers
• Robo-teurs
• Armoured Octopuses
• Rampaging Punchotrons
• Master-botters
• Adult Cave Terrors
• And the sacred Kwallikh Beast

Dr. Grordbort's most secret labs are up to all sorts of things up there, but that's a secret. So you don't actually know that. What we can tell you is that the Moon is not, sadly, made of cheese. I know. We were devastated as well. But we hope you'll enjoy this lunar unlockable nonetheless.

Next up...the new t-shirt design.

And the reveal for the new stretch goals is nigh. We think you are going to be happy. 

Thanks for the continued support and enthusiasm.

Satellitely,

Brian
