Backerkit is Live!
over 4 years ago – Sat, Feb 01, 2020 at 08:39:05 PM

BackerKit is live!

Backerkit: We have launched Backerkit for shipping and add-on completion. You will receive an email notification from Backerkit that your pledge is ready for completion. In Backerkit, you will be able to confirm your shipping/delivery information and select some very exciting add-ons. We have selected February 15 as our desired completion date for Backerkit in order to maintain our delivery schedule for Book of Beginnings! Please follow the notification link and complete your survey (mailing/add-on option) when convenient. Thank you!

Add-ons: We have included an array of 5e adventure modules in the add-on section of Backerkit. All are available at a special reduced price. With any physical adventure module purchase, you also receive a PDF of the adventure. There are also two bundle options that save you nearly 50% off the retail price. One bundle includes all the available 5e adventure modules in physical book form and PDF. The second bundle is a PDF-only option. Finally, we have released our premier module, T1 The Thing in the Valley, for the first time exclusively for Book of Beginnings backers.

Again, thank you for backing this project and we sincerely appreciate your support.

Respectfully,

Happy Holidays!!

Happy Holidays everyone!!

We hope you are enjoying your holiday season with family, friends, and gaming! You all deserve a break from the madness! 

I am also posting to inform you that Backerkit is coming soon! We are trying our very best to launch it this weekend after Christmas. We know the holiday season can be very busy, so we are going to leave Backerkit live for at least a couple of weeks so you are not under a tough time constraint. I was accepted to my dream school, so I am spending the second half of the holiday break moving to Florida. The first half was spent sending out our Kickstarter before this one :) In Backerkit, you will:

  • Pay shipping
  • Confirm mailing address
  • Add add-ons (if you please)

We will update again when this goes live, and like I said, we will give you plenty of time!

Thank you all so much for the continued support! We are very grateful for each and every one of you!

All the best,

Ben Barsh

Funding Complete!
over 4 years ago – Fri, Dec 20, 2019 at 04:41:43 PM

We did it!! Thank you to each and every person who made this amazing campaign possible. We are officially over with the funding process! Thank you to all 242 of you who are supporting this project. We can’t wait for the book to reach your hands.

So where do we go from here? The next step is Backerkit. Backerkit is where you will confirm your shipping address and pay for shipping. There will also be a number of add-ons that you can pick up as well! We will update when that is out. No need to panic, you’ll have at least 2 weeks to fill that out. We know everyone is busy :)

We will keep consistent updates while finishing the book. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I will be just as attentive as I was during funding! Thanks again, and we will see ya real soon!

All the best,

Ben Barsh

Stretch Goal #3 Down!!
over 4 years ago – Tue, Dec 17, 2019 at 07:43:27 AM

Wow! With a flurry of new backers today, we have knocked down stretch goal #3! That means 2 new adventures will be added! One for 1st level and one for 3rd level!

Thank you to everyone who has supported so far! Also, thank you to the new backers who have come on board since the last update! If this is your first time with Pacesetter, welcome! We look forward to delivering these high quality adventures to you.

We have just under 2 days left, but hopefully we can get the next stretch goal and add in 2 more beginnings! Until then, here is the beautiful map for the Guardian of the Grove adventure.

Thanks again, and let’s keep rolling!!

All the best,

Ben Barsh

Stretch Goal #2 Down!!
over 4 years ago – Wed, Dec 11, 2019 at 11:15:46 PM

Hey, friends!

We have officially broken down the walls to stretch goal #2! There will be a character creation table added to the beginning of the book! This is a fun way to create your characters to kick off your campaign! The following charts will be available for your use: class, race, background, personality traits, flaws, and quirks. If anyone has an idea of a fun table you would like to see printed, let us know! We are open to recommendations! On top of that, I had this magnificent full page art piece made up, by Wonkee, to reflect an adventuring party plotting their first adventure. Thank you for the continued support! Onto stretch goal #3!!

More soon,

Ben Barsh
