Howdy Kind Shudfolk!

It's been nearly a week since the Backerkit ended successfully! We appreciate you all and I wanted to give you a quick update and thanks for us breaking the $5k threshold! 

I was away gettin' some inspiration at Mt. Shasta and the Lake Shasta Caverns taking some time off doing some camping and hiking when the Backerkit ended. Shortly thereafter, the guys over at Death Guaranteed Games went away to Gen Con and I can't wait to hear all their stories when they return next week!

We met the $5k stretch goal and so all of our physical backers will receive a limited edition sketch cover sticker of Art Budden's fantastic cover art!

Additionally, everything is on track for fulfillment and planned to happen at the end of August:
- Final edits and layout for the .pdf adventure is pending Judge CRO's approval, but just about ready to go! It just went through another round of fine tuning and editing this week!
- All swag is on hand ready to ship with fulfillment
- Stretch goal .pdf content is complete and ready to go (13 pages)
- CRO's early bird recipe .pdf is ready to go
- 2nd Printing of The Secret of Kythe Hollow is ready for the printer

We will be ordering proofs in the next week or so and will be doing a 2nd printing of The Secret of Kythe Hollow to meet the demand! Once we get everything back from the printer, we will get these out to you all right away!

Kind Regards,
Judge Ike

Howdy Shudfolk!

$4K Stretch Goal Cleared! Thank you all so much!

...So, we went ahead and added another one that we think yinz will all enjoy! If we hit $4,500 we're gonna add that good old festival down by the Mossy Creek known as "Cray-Cray Day"! We've also gussied up some Shudder Mountain-specific Pre-Gens to get yer game goin' right away!

Now, we wanted to show yinz what went into the cover art. In this new Stretch Goal graphic you can see the different mockups we had to chose from made by cover artist, Art Budden! It was a hard choice to make!

Let us know in the comments what else you'd like to see at the $5k Stretch Goal!

If you haven't backed it yet, git on in there!
