Extras

These extras are available as add-ons for all backer levels. All prices include shipping and will not increase the shipping cost of your Ref book order. However, due to the weird nature of crowdfunding and how stretch goals and bonus stuff intersects, I am announcing that only 50% of all money put into extras count towards stretch goals.

At the end of every day I will update on what the "Effective Funding Level" is.

Stretch Goals

$1000 BASIC GOAL
This will get the Ref book printed. I'll do the layout myself, it will be proofread by the wife. Very basic stuff that will get the book out the door.

Once this goal is reached, existing backers will get an email with a list of possible stretch goals, and backers will have 24 hours to vote on which should be the next goal. The goals as they stand now:

+$700 Pro Copyediting
The book will go to an outside copyeditor.

+$1200 Pro Layout
Layout for the book will be done by Tigerbyte, who did the layout on the Rules & Magic hardcover, The God that Crawls, The Monolith from beyond Space and Time, and Isle of the Unknown.

+$2300 Full Color Layout
The layout will be in full color.

+$2300 Indexes
A comprehensive index covering both this new Ref book and the Rules & Magic hardcover will be in this book.

+$2800 Developmental Editing
The Ref book is going to be one part advice and procedures, one part game tools, one part inspiration, plus intro material for new Refs. To help everything flow more smoothly and to help create a more impactful book, a developmental editor will be brought on board with this stretch goal.

+$2800 Color Section
A 4 page insert with full color art, like the one that appears in the Rules & Magic book, will be part of the Referee book. This goal may be reached multiple times.

+$3000 Custom Slipcase Art
You want brand new, exclusive artwork for that slipcase? Better reach this goal.

+$3700 Module Reprint
Older, out of print need to be reprinted. Reaching this goal will get one of the following adventures reprinted: Tower of the Stargazer, Death Frost Doom, The Grinding Gear, Hammers of the God. The value of the adventure will be added to the LotFP store voucher backers received so you get it just the cost of added shipping if the goal is reached. This goal may be reached 4 times, once for each adventure.

Re: Re Book Crowd Funding Rewards and Goals - Third Try!

Certain details (shirts being on whatever color, the exchange for the Retail level, etc.) are still in "scratch" mode.

Re: Re Book Crowd Funding Rewards and Goals - Third Try!

Nice! Thanks for options between $35-$150.

Re: Re Book Crowd Funding Rewards and Goals - Third Try!

Will there be the ability to get the Player book as either an addon or included with the Ref book as a level?

Since fulfillment only happens when, as the book becomes available, the backer uses a coupon on the LotFP store, they can just buy it at that time. (or ahead of time)

To me, it only makes sense to include the R&M as a reward here if there's some sort of discount, and that doesn't make sense for a book that's been out less than a month.

Re: Re Book Crowd Funding Rewards and Goals - Third Try!

OK, I just wouldn't want to get the slipcover and then have R&M sell out from under me!

Re: Re Book Crowd Funding Rewards and Goals - Third Try!

I printed 3000 of them. If they sell out that fast (and they won't since I can't get them in the distro chain until the Ref book is ready), I'd reprint for sure.

Re: Re Book Crowd Funding Rewards and Goals - Third Try!

35$ to 75$ reward level are very tempting smile

Re: Re Book Crowd Funding Rewards and Goals - Third Try!

Well I might be grabbing 8-10 of those dice sets, just to get christmas shopping out of the way.

I don't see any mention of the GM mat with this listing though, is that not going to happen or is it getting shuffled in with something else?

That's something I decided was going to be more design trouble than it was worth at this time. It needs to be spectacular to be worth doing, and I wasn't ready to commit to design and redesign and redesign again to make sure it was.

Re: Re Book Crowd Funding Rewards and Goals - Third Try!

Keep in mind there's lots of discussion about this happening over here too: https://plus.google.com/u/0/11226209367 … YJc9b3Bcsf

Not sure if that's public...

But there's definitely going to be a fourth draft before going live.
