Update #5: First social goal unlock and tonight’s art livestream!
over 5 years ago – Thu, Oct 11, 2018 at 10:50:11 PM

We hit 50 shares this morning, which means we’ve just unlocked our first social goal! Thanks to everyone’s participation on social media, we’ve now unlocked a quest that’ll be written by none other than Binnie who’s famous for quests such as Darling Violetta and Best Wishes. With another 50 shares, we’ll unlock another new quest for The Future, so make sure to keep sharing with your friends and family on Facebook and Twitter!

Keep sharing! Everyone surely wants to see what the mystery goal is, right?

We’d also like to take a moment to announce the winner of our recent writing contest, Thespians and Thieves. This contest wrapped up just before the Kickstarter, and the judges’ votes are in: Congratulations to Bethany K and her quest Breakout From Clan Bearfang! We hold writing contests every month or so - this month’s contest is Stories of the Stars. If you’re interested in seeing these, make sure to follow us on our social media and subscribe to our quest crafter newsletter

Try this quest out on your next game night!

Chris will be doing a livestream tonight! Tune in to Kickstarter, Facebook, or his Twitch to watch him draw the Druegar live. He might even show off some more of the base game enemies if you ask nicely! He’ll be going live at 7 PM until 11 PM (EST). 

Watch Chris draw another baddie tonight!

We also just added a pledge tier for retailers, so we’d really appreciate it if you told your local game store or comic shop about us and showed them the Kickstarter! 

Until next time, adventurer, -Your Expedition Team 

P.S. Here’s another reveal, the Magic Mushroom drawn by Chris Gebhart! Tune in tonight to watch him draw another foe from the basegame, the Undead Viking (Draugr.)

Update #4: New quest, stretch goals, and Kickstarter plans!
over 5 years ago – Mon, Oct 08, 2018 at 05:17:24 PM

Last night we hit our first stretch goal, a new quest that utilizes the new cards and themes in Expedition: The Future! For this quest, we’ll be working with Louse & Earl, the community authors that created Going on a Bear Hunt (Base, 2-6 players) and The Horror Awakens (Horror, 1-2 players).

We’ve also reworked the stretch goals, so at 30k you’ll now unlock the “GM’s Corner” and a New Quest at the 40k and 50k intervals. GM’s Corner will serve as a feature of Expedition that helps quest creators, new and old, learn the system of Expedition through play and practice! Think of it as an interactive tutorial to quest creating and GMing any RPG!  

If that wasn’t enough of a reason to keep sharing and spreading the word, we’re less than 10 shares away from unlocking our our first sharing goal at 50 shares - another quest! All your have to do is keep sharing the pinned posts on Facebook, pinned tweet on Twitter, or the Kickstarter link.

Tonight Todd will be on Victory Condition Gaming at 8 PM (EST) to talk about Expedition: The Future with Doug Shutes! Go ahead and give his page a follow so you'll be notified when he goes live, and take a look at the events to show you're interested or going. 

Next week, we’re planning on having another livestream where the team of Expedition sits down to show off the Online Multiplayer feature in the app. We might even have some new things to announce or show off on the stream, so stay tuned!

Until next time, adventurers,

P.S. Check out this awesome, award-winning video game from a fellow Pittsburgh game studios that’s only a few days and a few thousand from funding! 

P.P.S. Here’s another piece of art drawn by the amazing Chris Gebhart: The Bandit Captain. This and 39 more pieces of original enemy art are just one of the upgrades that await in the Deluxe Edition!

Update #3: Funding, Livestream recap, and a writing contest!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Oct 03, 2018 at 07:34:18 PM

We’re funded in less than 24 hours, that’s incredible! From here on, we’ll be working towards the awesome stretch goals. At 20k, we’ll unlock a New Quest using ‘The Future’ written by one of our best authors. Help us reach it by sharing with your friends, posting on Facebook, and tweeting on Twitter! (You'll also be working towards some sweet social goals.)

Todd and Scott did their Livestream last night and you can find the recording of it here! They played through the tutorial and answered some great fan questions.

We’re also happy to announce that our Online Multiplayer and Saving features are out of Beta and available in the app now! (make sure you’re on v1.18.4 or higher) If you encounter any bugs, you can report them here. Make sure to grab a friend and try it out later today!

In addition to that, we’re happy to announce our Kickstarter Writing Contest, Stories of the Stars! The winner of this contest will receive a signed copy of the Deluxe Edition and 500 loot points. To enter, head to our Quest Creator, write a quest using Synth Enemies and other Expedition: The Future Card, and publish it by October 28th at midnight EST. We’ll announce the winner on October 30th at 7:00 PM EST.

If you need inspiration, make sure to try out Learning to Play 3: The Future and take a look at the Print and Play cards. We also recommend playing The Smugglers of Metra V (Starstrider Tales) by Josh K, the first community quest for this expansion!

Happy writing, adventurers!
