about 1 year ago – Thu, Apr 27, 2023 at 08:33:51 AM

Dazed, reeling.

Thank you so much for such a fantastic push of support for our first-ever Kickstarter!

Deep Ocean Environment UNLOCKED

Now at $100k, we are going into our high-level environments! Our first environment: The Deep Ocean, will involve you fishing on the surface of some pretty terrifying deep-sea environments, catching fish from primordial pools that have been long forgotten from the passage of time.

With this, we're designing 10+ new fish and 50+ junk items that you can find in this environment. We'll introduce new Fishing Milestones, Anglers, Quest Hooks, a new shop, and new magic items - allowing our book to grow even further!

Custom Dice Tray UNLOCKED

ALSO AVAILABLE: Our exclusive Why Slay Dragons, when you could be FISHING Dice Trays, have been added to add-ons!  You can update your pledges now to include these exclusive Dice Trays - or wait until our Backerkit Preorder store is up to pick up these Velvet Dice Trays with Leather Backing!  They are on sale for $20 and are an Io Publishing exclusive!

NEXT STRETCH GOAL - $125k : Hell Environent

Want to fish in a fiery abyss?  Our following          High-Level environment is the belly of Hell itself!  Further expanding upon our book, this stretch goal will allow us to expand the content of our first book further!

Thank you.

Thank you again for your incredible generosity.  We have more to show you soon as we develop, so stay tuned!  Once our Kickstarter wraps up and funding has been collected, we will be sending out playtest material for all the content for the content we've been working on to our backers.  We cannot wait to show you what we've been developing!

Almost to $100k! (Dice Tray Announcement)

First off, thank you for supporting our first-ever Kickstarter!  Your generous pledges have made this all worthwhile - with us hard at work!

As of this moment - we are currently at $98,831 raised for our Kickstarter!  At $100k, we will reach our next stretch goal - Deep Ocean Environment - which will further increase the content we produce with the book!  But as a little extra incentive - when we get to $100k, we will also start selling a custom-made Dice Tray from our good friends at Fanroll!

STRETCH GOAL PREVIEW : Bard Subclass - College of Fisher's Tradition
about 1 year ago – Sat, Apr 22, 2023 at 03:41:11 PM

• This Bard uses their Bardic Inspriration to tell Fisher's Tales to their allies. Sure - the stories may be 'slightly' embellished, but they have some truth! Choose between a series of buffs to provide to your party through the tales you spin!
• As your tales evolve, you can even conjure the fish from the stories you tell - assisting you in the battles ahead! (They aren't real, but they sure feel like it!)
• Spin two Fisher's Tales together to provide a wallop of support for your party!

In addition, we've also created some new Bard Spells that we can't wait to show you!

We'll only give the names for now - but we will have more to show you once our Kickstarter concludes!

• Tall Tale
• Magic Whistle
• Fable's Folly

Thanks for reading - we are excited to show you all more after the Kickstarter!  Until then, have a wonderful day!

Howdy folks!

While we are hard at work with Why Slay Dragons when you could be FISHING - we wanted to take a moment to point you at another project (which a few of our artists had the pleasure of working on!)

BIG BADS has entered its last day, and we sure would love it if you'd go check it out (maybe toss a little money their way!)

Check it out here!

STRETCH GOAL PREVIEW : Cleric Subclass - Deep Waters Domain
about 1 year ago – Mon, Apr 17, 2023 at 08:12:39 AM

Cleric - Deep Waters Domain

• This Cleric is a debilitating-based subclass - creating areas on the battlefield that slow their enemies.
• By offering themselves to the mirky unknown of the deep waters, they can protect themselves using the very barnacles growing on them.
• Potent Deep Water Clerics can bestow the despair of the sea upon their enemies - causing their foes to feel as if they were drowning.

In addition, we've created some new Cleric spells we think you'll enjoy, with some more on the way.  We plan to develop at least three new spells per class grouping - but we may create more... we can't help ourselves.

For now, we'll only be giving the names, but rest assured, you will get your hands on these beauties when we release our playtest documents at the end of our Kickstarter Campaign!

• Comfort - Level 1
• Missive - Level 3
• Sensory Deprivation - Level 5

We can't WAIT to show you more!  Thanks for reading!
