Is it really March already? Joseph Carriker is here with our monthly update to keep you informed of where we are in the process. One important note however is that the pledge manager is not quite ready for launch, as we are still negotiating the cheapest shipping rates possible, particularly for our international backers! But we should have more news there in the coming weeks.

Take it away, Joe!



Happy Spring, all! 

 

Firstly, we’d like to take a moment to thank all of you for your enthusiasm and support in this little campaign of ours. We’re excited about the possibilities of exploring N.K. Jemisin’s setting of The Stillness, especially using our AGE system.

 

(If you’re interested in some of the other new developments in AGE-land, take a look at the second edition of Fantasy AGE, now available for pre-order here: https://greenroninstore.com/collections/fantasy-age/products/fantasy-age-core-rulebook . You can get the PDF immediately with your pre-order for just $5 extra. Pre-order and start reading right away!)

 

Let’s take a look at this project’s status at the moment, shall we?

 

Fifth Season Core Rulebook: With the exception of an adventure added as a stretch goal, this book has been written and edited. We’re incorporating some of N.K. Jemisin’s feedback into the text and gearing up the Great Art Machine to start on some awesome visuals, in the Green Ronin tradition. Once Miroq Festival (see following) is through editing, we can get this bad boy into layout.

 

Miroq Festival Adventure: This excellent adventure by Alice Rendell was a stretch goal for the campaign. At this point, it has been developed and is about to go into edits. Once that is done, all the text for the core rulebook will be finished and ready to go (as mentioned above). 

 

Game Moderator’s Kit: In development. The bonus stretch goal adventure, Nell Raban’s excellent Ruin-Under, is written and developed, and about to go into edits alongside Miroq Festival. 

 

We’ve just started work outlining the other campaign rewards: Comms of the Stillness, Comm Creation Folio, People of the Stillness, and the Fifth Season Digital Map Pack. More details about these as we solidify them! We’ve got a lot of cool stuff to look forward to, and we’re excited to share it with you in the coming weeks.

~Joseph Carriker, 

For anyone who may have missed the campaign, but still wanted to get a copy of the game, we have launched the Pre-Order Store on Backerkit!

Check it out right here!


Note that if you are already a backer, this is not the place to add things to an existing pledge. We'll have the pledge manager up and running soon, and that will be where you can add any dice, books, or the GM Kit to your pledge, as well as enter your shipping info.

Thank you so much to all of our amazing backers for helping us not only fund this campaign, but also reach so many stretch goals! It's been quite a ride.

So what comes next?

The first thing will be to get the pre-order store on Backerkit running, so anyone who happened to miss the campaign still has a chance to order a copy of the game!

Next up, the pledge manager will be coming soon! With it, you'll be able to finalize any add-ons you may want, upgrade or change your pledge levels, preview shipping fees, and enter your address for when we begin fulfillment. At the moment, we're still working with our fulfillment partners to get the lowest shipping rates possible, so this part may take just a bit longer.

We'll have monthly updates on production progress, and we'll give everyone a heads up when the pledge manager is about to go live. We'll also make sure everyone has advance notice when we lock down pledges (meaning no more changes to your order or address), and warn you when we're getting ready to charge for shipping.

We'll try to stay on top of any comments here in the community page, but the very BEST way to reach out to us with a question, a concern, or a potential issue, is to send us an email to [email protected].

And finally, in addition to our heartfelt thanks, everyone here at Green Ronin is going to take a day or two to try and remember what a "normal week" feels like.

Thanks everyone!
