Dearest Wolfriders, Elven Heroes, and everyone who looks up at the Two Moons,
As the clock winds down and we have less than 20 hours to go we are extremely grateful to all of our 1800+ backers who have helped us break $200,000 in funding.
As part of that thank you we are increasing the size of the 1/4 page character sheets in the books to full sized character sheet pages. In the original books they were very hard to read, let alone actually use, but no longer. That will increase the page counts of the books by a few pages, but we think it is well worth it, and you all have earned it.
If you aren't familiar with the two sizes, here are two quick pages we grabbed from the original Elfbook for a side by side comparison. As you can see, the page on the left has a character sheet that is only about 3 inches wide and 4.5 inches tall. The page on the left is basically 8.5 in. by 11 in., the same size as the blank character sheets used for documenting player characters.
The journey continues, although the end is in sight. As always, thank you backing this Kickstarter.

About 40 hours left, and the Standee Stretch goal is next!

Dearest Wolfriders, Elven Heroes, and everyone who looks up at the Two Moons,
Many thanks to all who have recently backed the campaign, added on extra boxed sets and/or purchased poster maps. Another day and another stretch goal gets achieved. We’ll be adding around a dozen more Flora and Fauna entries into the Worldbook. This almost 50% increase in the size of the chapter also includes more creature related art from the comics.
And of course, that means the Set of Standees stretch goal awaits!
$205,000 Stretch Goal - Set of Standees
For our next stretch goal we have created a sheet of (2mm thick) cardboard full color standees. These are double sided, die-cut, and will come with 10 plastic stands. When we reach $205,000 in funding, we’ll be adding the set of standees for free in all of the printed boxed sets, and provide them as a free PDF to all $49+ backers. The standees will range from beloved characters and personalities from the original 20 comics, plus Trolls, other creatures, and some generic elves and wolves. More pictures to be posted soon, but here's a taste of one row from the draft sheet mockup with the die-cuts.
The journey continues, and more lies ahead of us. As always, thank you backing this Kickstarter.

Dearest Wolfriders, Elven Heroes, and everyone who looks up at the Two Moons,
We are proud to see the $175,000 stretch goal achieved. All of the printed boxed sets will have a free folded world map added into them. All $49+ backer levels will get a free pdf of it. The world map, unfolded and shipped rolled in a tube, is also available as a $40 (plus shipping) add-on.
Thus, on to our newest stretch goal:
$190,000 Stretch Goal – More Flora and Fauna
The Flora and Fauna chapter of the ElfQuest Worldbook was somewhat limited. Some of its two dozen entries, such as Bison and Bloodworms, were not even directly tied to the comics. Fortunately, since the 1980s a number of wondrous new flora and fauna have debuted, including: Master of Beasts, Peace Hounds, Redeemer, Blackneck, Ravvit, Shagbacks, Tusk Hogs, Bellyripper, Maraeva, and Allo. When we reach $190,000 in funding, we’ll be adding around a dozen more Flora and Fauna entries. This almost 50% increase in the size of the chapter also includes more creature related art from the comics.
The journey continues, and more lies ahead of us. As always, thank you backing this Kickstarter.

Dearest Wolfriders, Elven Heroes, and everyone who looks up at the Two Moons,
We are both proud and excited that 1500 backers have joined us on this quest. Thank you for your generous and enthusiastic support.
We achieved the $160K stretch goal recently, and that means Ember, Teir, Goldruff, Yun, Freetouch, and Reef will all get character sheets created for them, plus art from the archives will be used for their character sheet portraits. They will be added into the Worldbook as bonus pages.
As an added bonus for reaching 1500 backers we are also creating 5 new magic spells for the game that the above characters use (as can your character).
The journey continues, and much lies ahead of us. As always, thank you backing this Kickstarter.

A first look at the New World Map for the $175,000 stretch goal

Dearest Wolfriders, Elven Heroes, and everyone who looks up at the Two Moons,
Since we are only a few $$ away from reaching our $160,000 stretch goal we wanted to show you a draft of the new World Map of Abode created for this Kickstarter. We are working with the Pinis and the team at Warp to finalize all of the locations and details, so this is not the final version. A folded version of this color map will be added for free into the physical boxed sets of the game once we reach $175,000 in funding, plus provided as a free PDF to our $49 digital backers.
We will be offering a 34" x 22" poster of this World Map of Abode as a $40 Add-on (plus shipping. It will be shipped rolled in tube. Thus, not folded. We will also be doing likewise with the classic World of the Two Moons Map as a $40 add-on.
The journey continues, and much lies ahead of us. As always, thank you backing this Kickstarter.
