Hiya Dreamer!
I have good news...and I have good news. Dreamchaser: A Game of Destiny is ready for release! Expect PDFs to be available by Tuesday 8/8/17 and domestic orders to start shipping 8/10/17. International orders have one more stop before fulfillment, so expect them to ship later in the month.
Orders are expected to arrive before Gencon. That said, they may not arrive before some of you start travelling to Gencon. If you'd like to pick up your order at the convention, please fill out this form. Orders will be available for pickup at the IGDN HQ in room ICC 239.
Talk to you in a week!

First things first, Backerkit Surveys are going to be locked down Monday, May 29th. So, if you would like to upgrade your backer level or make any last minute additions please do so now. Here's the Survey Recovery Link.

Any additional purchases picked up through Backerkit will be charged to your credit cards on Monday, June 5th. Let me know if you have any issues.
The Pre-Order Store will remain open if any friends or family ask. :D

The Dreamchaser Manuscript is going into editing. I'm going to need willing detail oriented proof readers. If that's something you'd like to do, please shoot me an email at [email protected].
The Early Access Backers and I have started recording more Actual Plays via the magic of YouTube. These will continue to roll out through the summer as I work to build a catalog to help players and GMs understand the game. If you would like to join a game in the near future and don't mind being recorded, let me know! I'll try to make it happen. Reach out to me at [email protected].
Event Registration is underway for Origins Game Fair, Fear the Con X, and soon, Gencon's 50th Birthday. Come out and play Dreamchaser!
Thank you for your time, energy, and good will! Talk to you later!

P.S. I love hearing from you! Don't hesitate to message me on KS or email me at [email protected]. I love hearing about your playtests! I love hearing your stories of how Dreamchaser makes you feel. I also welcome your thoughts on how to build up our community. In time, we'll need a dedicated team of Dream Guides to help share the game and help others chase their dreams! Is that you?
How you been? I hope your games have been treating you well! I have some conventions to mention, some new art to share, and a couple unpacking videos for you today.

Three of the five backer related art commissions are in the works. Take a look at the progress of our first image inspired by Backer Jesse Roberge! Great job, man!
I also felt we need something that captures stories of a natural disaster. A tsunami seems underrepresented in US culture. What do you think?
Artist Russell Goh gave me a tsunami sketch but also a post apocalyptic sketch that I really enjoy. Take a look!
I've been on a quest for just the right Pretend Box! But, before we get to that. A few words on our progress so far.
Playtesting continues to go very well! I've been running a game or two a week since the Kickstarter and I'm happy to report there aren't many problems. The Early Access Backers have been invaluable! We've been coming up with some solutions for tweaks here and there to make Dreamchaser the best it can be. The Playtest Kit was light on examples but that's because I wanted to see how well testers did without them. You'll see a ton in the final product.
Soon, the manuscript will go into editing and then final layout. In the meantime, I continue to collect art for the game and to prototype different materials for the final product.
Now is the time to get involved with the Playtest Kit and Forums if you haven't already! Soon, the game will be off to the printers and any changes will cost us extra dough. A Backerkit email should have gone out to all Early Access Backers this last Monday. It updated the Playtest Kit for clarity and ease of use, added Black & White or Printer Friendly versions, and made a tiny update to the Character Sheet. Keep sending me your feedback and game stories!
Thanks! Here's a look at a couple of prototypes I've been walking around with. :D
All the best!
