Hardwood Cards to Track Your Abilities and Spells
Here is a possible redesign on the Ranger with Primeval Awareness and a Beastmaster archetype. I'm not sure if the Ranger redesign adds anything. But give me some feedback and let me know what you think.

Finally, the Bloodhunter classes are now available to choose both as a reward and as an add-on.
I've mentioned before how I prefer to track backers instead of total amount raised. I'd prefer to think about the number of people I can affect rather than the amount of money that is on the table. I know that the average pledge is going to be higher than the minimum bid and less than the maximum, so it all works out in the end.
As of this writing, we are at 91 backers. That ain't too bad for this size of project. But I'd like to see us get to 100 backers before 6:00 pm Friday. That is only 9 backers. If we can get it there, then I will include one free greater healing potion token to every backer who receives a shipment.
What is a potion token? It is a 50mm diameter wood coin that has a potion on one side and the name of the potion on the other. You hand it out to your players and when they drink it, they hand it back.
Here is a pic of one in maple, but you could get one in cherry, cedar, or other woods that I have scrap pieces to make them from.
This is an easy little stretch goal...we only need 9 backers in the next 25 hours, so tell a friend to jump on board today!
True story here.
Last night I had a dream. It as about this Kickstarter. We were down to the last day and the project was going well, but it hadn't gone viral. I'm watching the project and we get down to the last half hour and then BOOM! everyone started joining in. The last half hour was a mad-house and it soared to over $200,000! I had finally done it! I did the project that got thousands of backers (a number I track more than the amount of the pledges).
And then it hit me. Because so many people had joined in the last minutes of the campaign, my timeline still showed a very short delivery date and now I had thousands of orders that needed to all get done in just a couple months. I woke up in a cold sweat.
I guess this shows that a part of my brain is hopeful of that huge project. I want to have that type of success. But another part of my brain understands the work that type of success would entail.
So, I'm here asking you to help give my brain a break. Tell your friends about the project and encourage them to pledge. But tell them to pledge early; don't wait until the last second. That way I can prepare shipping tiers. My brain will thank you.
I just put some ad buys in with Facebook and RPGGeek, so I'm hoping some traffic will visit through there. If you happen to get a FB ad, please be sure to share it so that it gets maximum exposure.
Thanks to everyone for backing.
I worked today on the Blood Hunter templates. There is so much to track with these that I didn't put a graphic on; I'm not sure one will fit well. I'm not familiar with these classes, so I'd appreciate any comments before I finalize them.
Also, the previous cards are now available to choose from. This includes the Wizard: Necromancer, Wizard: Bladesinger, and Artificer.
I've spent the past 3 weeks working on my new workshop. It was in a pole building we have on an adjacent lot to our house, but after a lot of thought and procrastination, I decided to move it to the 2nd floor of our garage. So, I got one of the dryads to help me out, we cleaned out the upstairs, insulated, ran electric, vented the roof (still need to finish that up) made a finishing room and moved in the tools. All in all, I think it looks pretty good. We did a little walk-through video that is pretty boring, but lets you see inside.
The room to the right that you catch a glimpse of is a finishing room. I'll probably need to get a fan that fits a window well to get some good venting going. Inside the workshop, you can see the miter saw, a sanding station, cnc router, table saw, lathe, a couple rolling workbenches and the wood racks. I'll be adding a benchtop planer (selling my big Powermatic planer if anyone is interested).
It is all still a little disorganized, but it is probably the cleanest it will ever be.
Tomorrow, we start getting back into production.
