Stretch Goal #1!!
8 months ago – Wed, Jul 23, 2025 at 07:07:16 PM

WE DID IT! THANK YOU!!


NEW Character Sheets

Completely redesigned Player Character Sheets - you'll get them free and BEFORE they are available anywhere else. I'm researching print companies to create a pack similar to the games from the time before (remember the old school D&D sheet packs?!).

When they go for sale, they might be perforated, loose leaf, or in a binder... more info as I find the right publisher. Depending on timing, I might be able to offer the physical version as an Add-On.

These sheets provide greater variety with customizable art sections and streamlined Combat & Gear sections!
  • 16 page PDF pack with 13 base sheets plus 3 specialized secondary pages!
  • Core Sheet with CHARACTER PIC options
    • "Generic" male & female character image outlines - images light enough for you to see, use, edit, trace, add to, color - whatever your heart desires. 
      • Even if you can't draw (or think you can't) these outlines are a great start point for anyone
    • 2 versions for EACH Character Type
      • Barbarian, Druid, Engineer, Mutant, Scoundrel, and Wizard
    • Blank Character Pic versions
  • Spellcaster Grimoire Sheet!
  • Spellcaster RECIPE Sheet!
  • Psionicist Discipline Page! 


BACKER ONLY BONUS

I'll also include a pdf pack with character artwork from the Dystopian Dawn library. These can be used on any of your Dystopian Dawn characters (just not re-sold!!). You can copy, paste, and resize these pics for your sheet!

Here is just a small sample:



Bonus Merch and Swag at DISCOUNT Prices Just for YOU!

I'll update the Add-Ons this weekend. These are going to be "Print on Demand" items from another site - you'll get them here at a Backerkit ONLY discount and before anyone else!

  • 4-5 Different Style Shirts
  • Coffee / Tea Mugs
  • Computer Table Mats
  • Drink Coasters
  • Tumblers
  • Koozies
  • New Dice Bag Design

Prototype Giveaway Update

Raw PDF Prototypes!


I've decided to add the raw PDF versions of the prototype books to the Giveaway Stretch Goals!

MORE winners!

This also lets the digital backers win something!

PS - All of the writing is complete for "Vikings & Robots!" and "Deathrace Coast to Coast!" Layouts, edits, and testing in progress. I'm putting the drafts together to submit for print versions within the week. I'll post pics when they arrive.

WOOHOO!!

THANK YOU ALL!


We've hit the first funding goal!

Playtesting for Deathrace Coast to Coast starts today - quick update - all of the core writing is complete! All that remains is fleshing out the NPC stats. I finished 80-pages last night. Best guess, this is looking at 110-120 pages with art.

PROTOTYPE GIVAWAYS!

PROTOTYPE BOOKS! NEW STRETCH GOAL ITEMS!!

I'm offering one-of-a-kind prototype print books!

I'm ordering prototypes of each book and GIVING these away to random winners if we hit the Stretch Goals!

FIVE books - one print of each - will be given away if we hit the goals! Each is personalized and signed and will NEVER be printed...EVER...again! There will only be ONE of each.

Normally, I'd keep these in my personal collection, but I'm offering them as an incentive to you amazing people!

These are pre-published versions complete with my notes and professionally printed just like a normal book - but before the art is final and before anyone (other than me) sees them!

$2500 Stretch Goal 

I'll randomly give away one of the two source adventure books:
  • Vikings & Robots
  • Deathrace Coast to Coast

$3000 Stretch Goal 

I'll randomly give away one of the three Compendium books:
  • Compendium Vol 1
  • Creature Catalog Vol 1
  • Who in the Dawn?!

These are only for physical order customers. I'll add them to your order at NO ADDITIONAL COST. In fact, if it increases the postage, I'll pay the difference out of pocket!

Spread the word!

Thank you

To Box or not to Box...

The quest goes on


I had to cancel the current prototype orders - too many issues with that vendor - I'll keep looking for alternatives and will post an update if/when I find a solution.
