We shot this video shortly before collapsing from exhaustion :D But now that we're awake, and recharged, we wanted to send it out and thank you all once again. There is a transcript of the video below
Also, Inside the Campaign Chest:
We wanted to show off something that we didn't get the chance to on the page. Organization and removing barriers to setup and teardown are important to us. For that reason, we wanted to show you inside our Quest Chests, and what we've done to allow the Campaign Chest box to house all 5 adventures from the "Year of Adventure" tier! As gamers, we understand that shelf space is already limited, so we wanted to do our part to reduce clutter, by allow them to condense down into a single box at the end of the campaign.
Here is a look at our current Quest Chest box interior. We took care to design the box so that the components would nestle in perfectly, and be safe in transit. Also, that you'd be able to repackage materials, if needed, safely and easily. That is a solid foam core inside the box, since we have glass candles and some fragile components, it's very important to us to ensure their safety. Also, it looks and feels damn good.
But we want to show you how we've taken that design, and leveled it up for our Campaign Chest. From the beginning, we wanted the Campaign Chest to offer the ability to house all of the components from it, as well as the other quests from this campaign: Those Beyond The Walls.
Please keep in mind that this is a prototype image, and there are already design changes that we'd like to implement. For example: There is supposed to be a cutout for the maps as well, so they fit on top of the other components. But we hope that you appreciate this look inside!
Our Launch Party:
We want to thank everyone who came out and joined us for our launch party! It was in Wisconsin, just north of where Austin is based. We had games, drinks, food, and showed off some of the prototypes as well as gave out some great prizes!
Here are some pictures from the evening.
And a shoutout to our MVP for the evening, Dylan Giovannoni. This wonderful friend faced a massive challenge: GMing for a rotating group of players, from children to adults, throughout the evening. Several occasions we offered to step in and give him a break, but he was so enthusiastic about this game that he refused. Dylan is a genuinely awesome human, and a truly masterful GM. We cannot thank him enough for taking our crazy idea(A D&D scavenger hunt that ends with a rotating arena battle over prizes), and rolling with it! Thank you!
Also, look at this epic image <3

Austin: Hey, everyone.
Michael: Hello.
Austin: Just want to say hi. We're back from our awesome launch party. It's past 1 a.m at this point.
Michael: It is definitely past 1 a.m. and probably somewhere past 45th hour, maybe, of being awake, give or take.
Austin: Something like that.
Michael: Yeah. In and around.
Austin: It's been a very long day, but we just wanted to say hi and say thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Everything that you're doing to support us. I mean, we never imagined that we would make it this far that we would have funded in less than 12 hours.
Michael: It's incredible. Yeah.
Austin: And that, that we're on this road together to create awesome adventures with all of you. So we want to thank you.
Michael: Thank you so much. It is honestly one of the major joys of our lives to to be able to provide such an exciting experience tonight to everyone who came out to the launch party and to be sharing this journey in this adventure with you folks. You know, we're, what, like 14 or 15 hours into this campaign at this point. And I'm already so excited to get these boxes into your hands. You have no idea. This is this going to be quite the ride.
Austin: Yeah. We think you're really going to love it. And we have so much awesome stuff to show you. So stay tuned for the updates. We're going to keep keep coming with more information on what these boxes entail. Some really cool details on how they're created and and what goes into them. And and yeah, we think you're going to love this.
Michael: Awesome. I'm going to bed.
Austin: Yeah. Okay. Goodnight.
