Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Woohoo! We've unlocked the first stretch goal, a 16th Paragon! Once the campaign ends, we'll be taking backer suggestions and votes on both this and the 15th "mystery" Paragon. Quintessence tier backers will be suggesting the official races they'd like to see Paragon Backgrounds for, and then the rest of you get to vote on which ones we include!
In addition, we have a preview for you today, of one of our existing Paragon Backgrounds, the Goliath Paragon. Click here or on the image below to check it out!
Finally, we'd like to give a shoutout to our friends at Paws for Effect, another small publisher like ourselves. They've got 2 weeks left in their current campaign, 100 Cursed Items, which does exactly what it says on the tin. They've worked to add a full hundred unique, flavorful cursed magical items to 5e for you to unleash on your unwitting player characters. Click here or on the image below to check it out!

We're down to the final four days, and closing in on our first stretch goal!!
As a reminder, backers of the Quintessence tier will get to suggest the race for this, and then vote on which from the suggestions.
We can't wait to see what you suggest!
We'd also like to take a moment to share another worthy campaign we like! Please check them out if you're looking for new settings or enjoy One Shot Dungeons. 🙂
Immerse yourself and your players in Lùmina, the imperial capital, a city full of characters and locations that will be a hub in which and from which to experience countless adventures.

Post-Goal Update: Where we go from here
almost 3 years ago
– Thu, Apr 13, 2023 at 12:44:10 PM
Greetings adventurers! Dalamar here, and in today's update we'll be going over our stretch goals in more detail.
We've now hit our initial goal (and even a little more, at time of update!) which means any new pledges bring us closer to our stretch goals! First up, roughly every $1,000 CAD earns an additional Paragon entry for the book; each of these new Paragons will include 1 new background, 16 new feats, and 4 quest prompts, the same amount of content as the original 15 Paragon races. In addition, the race of each new Paragon we're able to add will be decided by our Quintessence-tier backers.
At a total of $5,500 CAD, we'll be able to afford a print run of Paragon, and we'll open up the physical tiers to allow upgrades for anyone that wants the softcover. At $10,000 CAD, we'll be able to afford a print run of the tarot deck, and will similarly open up those tiers and add-ons so anyone who wants them can upgrade their pledge. Quintessence-level backers will automatically receive the physical rewards as part of their pledge, should we hit those goals.
Lastly, at $19,000 CAD, we'll have enough funding to afford more intricate/individual illustrations on the Minor Arcana of our Paragon Tarot deck, as opposed to the simplified designs we'll be previewing in a future update.
Thank you all for your generosity and interest in our project, without you we wouldn't be here! If you have any questions, please feel free to post them as comments and we'll be happy to answer them.
-Dalamar, Project Lead

Sorry for the the late update everyone but its still amazing that you all helped us meet our base fundraising goal on Good Friday (and *even exceed that* the day after)! While we are obviously feeling celebratory, we want you to know that we still have plans for stretch goals and those should be posted within the new few days.
We thank you for all you've contributed!! Let's keep pushing for more cool additions!💪
