Unless someone pulls out some significant cash, this will be Razor Coast's second biggest day of funding. We've gone past Day One's number.
Excellent!
@Tom Knauss: Good news! Thanks for that! You shall have to join around the table if I can cajole Tim into playing a game I run!
Welp, there goes another $20.
Indeed. And however much the add-on for HeroLab/d20Pro will "cost" if it gets there... if I knew how much that would be, I would increase my pledge now to help make sure it happens. *nudges the Frogs that be*

After my first experience with HeroLab at Paizocon (in which I lost an entire afternoon to the bliss of rapid-fire and fun character generation), I gotta say - we need to hit that goal. Let's sail into the horizon!
First hardcover upgrade is available now. As long as the pledges don't drop.
Here on the KS page max is 90k so I would guess we'll make all of those

- At $82,500 We will publish the Player's Guide as a hardcover book. What gets more use than your stitched, textbook quality copy of the Razor Coast Mega-Campaign? The Player's Guide everyone is flipping through! Help us hit our goals and we'll bring you the Player's Guide in hard cover and in the lasting quality for which Frog God Games books are known. In hardcover it'll survive pizza, soda and your players!
- Speaking of hard covers, At $85,000 we will publish the Heart of the Razor as a top quality, stitched binding, hard cover book!
- At $87,500 we will print and publish FIRE AS SHE BEARS. Hoist the staysails, catch the weather gauge, you have the helm sir! All cannon, the enemy is in sight. Isn't it time every player at the table had a hand, every round, in sinking the enemy ship? Building on the winning entries of a contest to create new rules, authors Lou Agresta and John Ling wrote a book to turn those ship toys into your own Master and Commander-style sea battles. If we fund and reach this next stretch goals we'll bring you a complete subsystem of ship-to-ship combat in the book, Fire As She Bears for both Pathfinder and Swords and Wizardry.
- At $90,000 we will create the D20 Pro maps and Hero Lab Data Files so you can RPG with your friends who are not at the table or to make the gaming experience that much easier. So help us reach our stretch goals and we'll make the Razor Coast Mega-Campaign available for both electronic formats.
A very important shout out as well to all the amazing desingers/writers and publishers who helped make this happen.
The potent skills of the devilish cabal responsible for Heart of the Razor.
The tremendous creative powers of Adam Daigle, who remains one of the few people who the mere mention of brings a warm smile to my face.
John Ling whose talents go well and beyond most developers and crunch-lords.
And a very personal and important shout-out to Tim Hitchcock. What can I say but this: Tim is my favorite adventure designer, and a worthy friend who loves gaming more than any human being I've ever met. He's also a titan in our world. A force of personality at the gaming table, a noble hearted harlequin who japes at power, is fearless in the face of the world's many hard turns, and whose virtues as a human being are unshakeable. I love this man, and its been far too long since I've said so, or seen him. Two things I can rectify at Gencon this year if he's going to be on deck.
Thanks everyone who pledged. Now let's CRUSH these stretch goals and keep sailing for adventure.
By the by: There's very little I wouldn't do if requested for a Captain's Parlay. All you high rollers out there: Dream up any crazy gaming scenario and I'll make it happen. Contact the Frog Gods and fulfill your wildest gaming desires. I dare you.
Wonderful folks indeed, and yet, mediocre one, there seems to be someone missing from your praise. Can it be that, once again, your reedy campaign has been slashed, scuttled and quashed by the presence of one of her Majesty's subjects and the magnificent adventure Angry Waters, which I humbly dedicate to her service? Ah, the joy of not being spoken about by Louge, how I've missed it....
(Slithers)Sails into sunset
Oh, my "thanks" to you, Prett, for sullying my setting with your "words" will have to wait. Preparations have been made. You'll feel my "thanks" soon enough.
As to your "adventure" Grumpy Waters - we shall see what the fans think of said paltry attempt when compared to the glory of RAZOR COAST!
MMMMNNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
Ah, banter.
I've missed ye, Prett!
Capital 'H' in Her Majesty please, Mr Pett.
Standards old boy, standards.

Sorry Mach, the sullying presence of Logue is disturbing my grammar, I've written an apology to HM, no wonder he was deported.
Ah, banter.
I've missed ye, Prett!
But I have not missed you:)

Oh...
...and that Rikard Prett guy. I hear he wrote a couple of the punctuation marks on some sort of supplement.
;-)
I can't tell you how much I've missed the banter between you and That Pretender To The Throne guy.
...
See? I just tried but nothing happened. Weird, isn't it?
But seriously, I'm just waiting for the day a Logue, Pett, Vaughan module is announced - nay, released - so I can be truly complete.
Congrats on surviving to see your ship out of stormy waters, with AweomeLou at the helm.

Upped my sub.
Weirdly the best way for me to stretch my limited cash is to get the $110 option and then add player's guide, heart of the razor and a pad of sheets as extras.
I'm really going to have to juggle some funds for this one, and I definitely won't be backing the gnome minis KS I was looking at.
Damn you and your brilliant products, damn you all to Dajobas!

Lou, Bill, Blondefrog (I just realized I don't know her name..): Scott over at Zombieskypress would like to donate his A Pirate's Life pdf to the cause. He contacted me because I had suggested he get involved.
(I cause more chaos and confusion...)
Could you guys email him at scott@zombiesky.com to work that out?
Also, Creighton Broadhurst at Raging Swan Press should be Iming one or more of you about donating something.
Stretch goals shall fall like Caribbean ports before the jolly roger..
Just checking if you are at the $150 level thus are getting "Heart of the Razor" pdf; it's still another $40 to get both Hardback & pdf?
But seriously, I'm just waiting for the day a Logue, Pett, Vaughan module is announced - nay, released - so I can be truly complete.
I think minds would melt.

I would be disappointed if that wasn't their goal from the outset.

Thanks, man! Scott is a fellow cabbage. Mario got back to us. And I've heard nothing but good things about Creighton all around. Good on you for getting the word out.
More soon...
Well almost ready to break 85k to hit the next stretch goal.
Actually, it's been ready to break 85K for the last 4 or so hours. Instead of going up, we're losing money and at least 1 backer. This sucks!

Spread the word! That's the best thing we can all do. Spread the word, link people to the updates, ask them to check it out and maybe even back it.
I have to say, all the money pouring in is great. That support is great. But money is just about getting the content out, making that possible.
For me the thing I love watching tick up is the number of backers. As a writer and creator it's watching the audience grow that both thrills and humbles me.
So, yes, of course I want to hit the $ figure for Fire as She Bears and Hero Labs and d20 Pro support. I think it's a great book. And I think with Hero Labs and d20 Pro maps more people can enjoy and explore this work than otherwise.
But really, as an artist, I care about the audience more. More people having fun, more people spurred to creativity, more people laughing, making, crying, fist pumping - that's what I want.
So I'm off to chase the audience and spread the word. Seriously, if 500 more people come on, and they all pledge $1, I'm utterly thrilled. For real. Sure. If they all pledge $150, I'm thrilled too, but in a different way.
Chase the audience. If the money follows, it follows.
If it doesn't follow that's cool too - because the minimum is past, and the work can get made for us to enjoy.
Thank you all again.
Yeah IME don't watch a projects totals too closely they tend to go up and down like the Assyrian Empire in the short term, but up in the long.
So, if we do well enough will we get to see the rest of the island?
Agreed! We need Fire As She Bears!!!
So, if we do well enough will we get to see the rest of the island?
hahahahaha, good one :)

Color me confused. Well it is hovering just above $85,000 and seems to be stalling out. I am not sure if people understand what FIRE AS SHE BEARS is, especially since they will have to pay for it on top of additional pledges to get there. Perhaps some more information will help explain it better.

What exactly are the 8 indulgences? I get that they are supplements, but can someone provide a list with a brief description? Thanks.
The original write-ups are here
I hope it funds then. Been looking at the site that makes the model ships for the KS. Might get some later for ship to ship. My wife wants one that is to 25MM scale to use minis and has all the decks accessible.

Sure.
"Art of the Duel" by Craig Shackleton presents historical information about dueling, both with blades as well as pistols. (Craig has actually been in the news lately up in the Toronto area because of his expertise in the field.) After going over the historical aspects, there are some new weapons and new feats.
"Blood Waters" By Greg Vaughan is a 7th level adventure set in the Razor Coast. It's designed to fit into the campaign, without being absolutely necessary. There are places within the book, though, where it'll say, "Hey, here's a good place to put Blood Waters." Blood Waters takes PCs under the waves with some great encounters.
"Dajobas, Devourer of Worlds" by Nick Logue presents all the info you need about, well, Dajobas - an evil god bent on destroying everything in the world. Along with the usual god text, there's a new domain, info about his followers, a new monster, some new feats, and some magic weapons. There's also a prestige class so you can make your villains even more frightening.
"Death Beneath the Waves" by Wolfgang Baur is a look at running adventures underwater. It goes over the rules, expands them a bit, gives the GM ways to lure the PCs there. There's some spells to help PCs cope with the environment, and a wicked nasty CR 11 critter to challenge your PCs once they're there.
"Mysteries of the Razor Sea" by Nick is an adventure designed for 1st level PCs. It's a fantastic intro to some of the lore and such of the Razor Coast.
"Shrine of Frenzy" by Brendan Victorson and David Posener is a 7th level adventure that deals with cultists of Dajobas and the superstitions of the native people, the Tulita.
"Still Waters" by Rich Pett is a 6th level adventure that takes PCs into the marsh. Good depth and the typical creepy feeling Pett injects into his adventures.
"The Warrior's Way" by Nick goes into depth about the Tulita, natives of the Razor Coast. Some feats, items, and lots of flavor and background.
Those are quick summaries, anyway. There's good stuff in all 8.
If it is like previous FGG KS they will available in limited numbers
So if I'm still going to be broke before the end of this Kickstarter (I will be), what will I be missing out on? Will Heart of the Razor and Fire as She Bears be available for purchase later?
Someone mentioned earlier that kickstarter gives you a 7 day grace period to figure out money-stuffs. If that's true if could help you get your mitts on Heart of the Razor or Fire as She Bears.
From the Kickstarter FAQ, backers have fourteen days for US projects, and 7 days for UK projects to correct payment issues. Hope this helps anyone.
That doesn't help me much. My bank usually manages to process the charge a day or two after the Kickstarter closes.From the Kickstarter FAQ, backers have fourteen days for US projects, and 7 days for UK projects to correct payment issues. Hope this helps anyone.
Sorry about that! I'm sure Blonde Frog of someone in the know will chime in and let us know about copies of Fire as She Bears and Heart of the Razor availability after the KS ends.
Fire as She Bears! So close!
