Hi everyone!
Thank you so much for getting us to our funding goal in just under five hours. What a day! We ended up launching four hours later than I had hoped. During that time, I was sitting at my computer, desperately clicking the "launch" button. I went from anxious, to calm, to irritated, to (finally) relieved as Kickstarter tech support solved the issue, and the project suddenly went live. It was an experience that I will never forget. Thank you all for making an emotionally exhausting day into a delightfully exhausting night.
Now that we've reached our funding goal, the next goal on the horizon is that of regional manufacturing. Once we reach 2,500 backers (at the $80 pledge level or higher), we'll start tallying everyone by region, and we'll see if we can produce the game as close to everyone's home as possible, and keep overseas shipping of product and materials to an absolute minimum.
It’s been an amazing first day. Here’s to twenty more!
Much love,
Andrew
Your Card Content Questions Answered
Does the core set come with a full playset of player cards?
Yes.
Do I need to buy the Ranger Card Doubler to have a full playset of player cards?
No.
Does the Ranger Card Doubler include cards from the campaign expansion?
No.
What's the point of the Ranger Card Doubler?
The Ranger Card Doubler exists for players who want to double-up on their card sets (aspect cards, personality cards, specialties, and backgrounds). For example, if you want to play a campaign with two Rangers who have the same background, or two who have the same specialty, or even the same role, you'll need to pick up the Ranger Card Doubler.
It's also good for groups of 3 to 4 players if--as that third and fourth player--you'd like more options than whatever the first two players haven't chosen. It's by no means necessary, however. The core set fully supports up to 4 players.
As a solo player, is there any benefit to buying a Ranger Card Doubler?
No. If you like to build decks and not disassemble them, or if you like to play two-fisted and want to play around with doubling up sets, then sure. Otherwise, you can skip it.
Does the Legacy of the Ancestors campaign expansion contain a full playset of player cards?
Yes.
Do I need to buy a second campaign expansion to maximize my experience?
No. One is all you need. Please don't buy two campaign expansions (unless you're buying one for a friend).
Does the core set have enough room to accommodate the cards from the doubler and the campaign expansion?
Our intent is for the core set box to be a storage solution for all of the card content offered during this campaign.
Will the core set box accommodate all of those products if I've sleeved my cards?
Yes.
Adding Add-Ons to Your Pledge
As noted in the add-on section, add-ons will be available to purchase in the pledge manager (Gamefound) after the campaign concludes. However, If you know that you’d like a specific add-on and would like to increase your pledge in advance, you are welcome to do so.
Since our stretch goals are tied to backer counts as opposed to a total dollar amount, whether or not you increase your pledge now means less than it does for campaigns that feature monetary stretch goals.
Whether you increase your pledge now, or wait until the campaign concludes, we greatly appreciate the additional support!
Gameplay Livestreams Coming Soon
Beginning next Monday (August 2nd), and each Monday thereafter, Team Covenant will be streaming gameplay of Earthborne Rangers on their YouTube channel: cov.link/yt
They’ll be playing a “vertical slice” of the game. That is, a small segment that will give you a great idea of what to expect from the final product. The slice has been tailored for the livestream, so you can watch without worrying about spoiling the campaign.
If you can’t make it for the livestream, we’ll embed each of them on the main KS page, under the “media” header.
More to Come
We have a full slate of meaningful updates planned for the campaign where we’ll dive into great depth concerning the rules, deckbuilding, the lore, and the art. We’ll have something fun for you each and every day (excluding Sundays). Tomorrow, you can look forward to more information about the design and development of the open world and of campaign progression in the game.
Until then!
