Less than 24 hours away!! Less than $10k from our next stretch goal!!!
over 1 year ago – Wed, May 10, 2023 at 10:12:49 AM

Hi everyone!

First, thank you so much for this project's love and support!  We are working super hard to have some playtest material for you in June after we've collected funding from Kickstarter!

We have just entered the last 24 hours of our Kickstarter, and we are less than $10k away from our next stretch goal - the Hell Environment!  

If you've already supported our Kickstarter, here are some ways to support it further.

• If you are a $50 tier, you can upgrade to the $60 tier to get the PDF off the book as well! (A total value of $80!)
• Pick up some add-ons to increase your pledge level.
• Tell your friends and family this is our last day of funding!
• We unlocked a new add-on - the WSD: Fishing Dice Tray! Remember, the "All In" tier does not cover this because the All In Tier was calculated without the Dice Tray!  You can edit your pledge to add to the dice tray still!

No matter how we end this, this has been a VERY SUCCESSFUL first Kickstarter!  This has been quite the learning experience, and it only means future Kickstarters will be even better!  Thank you again, and have a wonderful day!

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!
