BIG Stretch Goal Reached! 30k = Fifty Additional Monsters
over 3 years ago – Mon, Oct 05, 2020 at 08:54:00 PM

This was a BIG one. The Emporium will now include 50 more monsters (150 total). This book just got a lot beefier, thanks so much to you all. Yes, this will entail more work for me and more cost to hire illustrators, but I'm so glad for it. I have a bunch of half-finished monsters that are like brains in jars, and they are now getting bodies and jolts of lightning to bring them to life (or un-life, for the ghoulish types).

These curious creatures range from the lowly CR 1/8 mortling (an undead ram) to the CR 3 moss monster (it really grows on you) to the CR 14 blacksphere crawler (a massive spiderlike alien construct) and many many others.

There are still a number of great stretch goals to hit (I'd really love to produce that adventure ;)) and the campaign is approaching the halfway point to the finish date. Please continue to share links and spread the word so we can take this book to higher and higher levels.

Feats Unlocked

Things are heating up in the Emporium! We've already reached the 25k stretch goal to include all new feats designed by yours truly.  I love not only feats that give you some mechanical perk, but also those that add to your character's style and rp potential. Let's keep storming these goals!

Fifth Stretch Goal Reached

The Emporium is now 200% funded, expanding the amount of traps and hazards and opening up some funding to hire more artists. I'm stoked to have reached this point in one week. Now, let's set our eyes on getting to these next bigger stretch goals: Feats and 50 Additional Monsters! These will be huge upgrades to the book, so please spread the word or share my kickstarter page to get it some increased visibility.

First Three Stretch Goals

We have hit the first three stretch goals! The Emporium of Esoterica will now feature the fungus-growing swamp dwarf and the divine-blood-infused-living-statue Ichoriite, and the book just got a lot more magical with twice the amount of spells and magic items!

I'm stoked about being off to such a strong start. Let's keep storming ahead and take this project to even higher levels.
