What a crazy and wonderful few days it’s been! The City of Arches funded in the first 48 minutes of the campaign, which is awesome! We crossed 2,000 backers last night which means we can order a healthy supply of the hardcover versions of the book for all of those who backed the hardcover and for people who learn about it later.
Your comments have been such a joy to read. We really think you’re going to love this book and we can’t wait to get it on your table.
We’ve had a couple of common questions we wanted to answer. We’ve added these to the FAQ so please check there first if you have a question and remind others to check there if you run into other people asking these questions.
When will we get PDFs of current books?
For those who back pledges or get add-ons of existing books, you'll likely get links to the digital version of those book about a month after the end of the Kickstarter.
In order for us to send out digital rewards, we need Kickstarter to send us the funding and we need to pay off BackerKit before we can send rewards. We can then send out emails from BackerKit with direct download and DriveThruRPG links for digital products. We’ll also include the print-on-demand links for the four Fantastic books as described on the Kickstarter page.
Will the City of Arches include an EPUB version?
Yes! We love EPUB as a file format for RPG products since it formats well for screens of any size and offers much better accessibility than PDF. Building one is always a challenge but the format of the City of Arches should lend itself well to EPUB. It probably won’t be until after the PDF but we do plan to include an EPUB and all digital and physical backers for the City of Arches will get it.
Also, the four Fantastic books and Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master include EPUB versions alongside the PDFs.
Videos!
The City of Arches Kickstarter homepage now has a video section including a video on running Golgoron Arises, the intro scenario included in the 42 page sample. I also added an awesome solo play video by Homemade Heroes using Shadowdark and Solodark! It’s really fun and worth a watch.
I plan to add a new video each week as the campaign goes forward!
