WE DID IT!

Thank you all SO MUCH for making this project wildly successful! 340% funded is crazy!

What Comes Next

There's a lot to do in the coming weeks!

Backers need their stuff...

• The Rescue at Beryfork Mine adventure is finished and will be sent as soon as Kickstarter funds clear (a survey will ask if you want a DriveThruRPG link or a direct download file).
• NPC info will be collected and short interviews/emails scheduled to learn more about them. It is expected that about two NPCs will be added per Adventure.
• Work continues on the next adventure - Ascension of the Cloud Temple (renamed to Siege of the Cloud Temple) which should complete early/mid May.
• Work will begin on the 3rd adventure maps soon! The biome is 'sewers', theme is 'You poured HOW MANY potions down the drain??' and it will be tier 2. 

Maps, Maps, Maps!

• We will be creating standards documentation to guide builders and maintain quality/consistency for all maps.
• We will review each map, compile notes, and chat with our builder friends.
• We will setup public progress tracking so you can check in on any map, at any time :)

But wait, there's more!

The Talespire builder Ooiittee has offered to complete Argynvostholt pro bono (he will be streaming his builds), which mean those funds can be used to hit the 350% stretch goal! The Estate of Wachterhaus, Bergomaster's Mansion and Coffin Makers Shop maps are added to the queue!

Only 48 Hours Left!

300% Funded and 48 hours left to hit more stretch goals! Time for the final, final push!

We just hit 300% funded and getting all the Vallaki-related maps unlocked looks do-able! Thank you so much for the outpouring of support, delivering on this project is going to be amazing.

The Haunted Ruins of Argynvostholt... UNLOCKED! ✔

We are REALLY excited to have hit this stretch goal 🐲🏰 Argynvostholt has really interesting architecture, history and atmosphere. Building it in Talespire will be an honor!

I forgot to mention - Pledges with the NPC award will also receive a free copy of the adventure with their NPC in it!

Because it just makes sense :)

ONE WEEK LEFT TO ADD MORE MAPS!

The final countdown!

Only seven days left until we can start work, we can't even describe how excited we are! 

The Scale City of Vallaki map has been locked in, now is the final push to reach Argynvostholt!

In case your friends are the fence, be sure to have them explore the Curse of Strahd fan content we've already created, for free, for everyone at Talestavern.com!

Update #3 - New Stretch Goals Announced!
almost 4 years ago – Mon, Apr 11, 2022 at 12:07:39 AM

Wow!

As soon as I posted the updated about being close to reaching out first stretch goal, we did! Along with Castle Ravenloft, the Scale City of Vallaki map will come alive in Talespire! We love working in the 4:1 scale to create sweeting landscapes, suitable as an overworld map or for when the party splits up between the general store, thief guild and armor shop ;)

Stretch Goal #2 - The Ruined Mansion Argynvostholt!

The next stretch goal is a HUGE one! This is an exploration and combat map, much like the Amber Temple.

Stretch Goals #3 & 4 - Vallaki & Surrounding Areas

With all "large" maps out of the way, the next stretch goals will focus on completing maps around Vallaki, especially ones where combat is expected.

Lets make it happen! :D

Update #2 - Incredible! We're SO CLOSE to our first stretch goal!

Hello everyone!

We are floored with the amount of support you all have shown for this project! We are now planning our work for the next month to make sure we can begin production of the castle immediately after the Kickstarter closes.

But a big part of that is knowing how many maps to plan for! :) So lets keep charging toward the stretch goals! Once we lock in the Scale City of Vallaki, I will reveal what _could_ come after Argynvostholt! 🏰🐉

Thank you all for making this possible!
