mcdm.gg/YouTub... The Kickstarter ends this Sunday! 9am PST! www.kickstarte... If you have any questions, I recommend coming by the Discord! mcdm.gg/discord
I am so happy that I backed at the colvillan level... So very excited for you and all of the wonderful things game you're doing, and glad I was able to be a part of it. Get some rest, and keep being so awesome!
Matt, I don't play like you do. I don't expect I will often implement your rules, I don't think I want warfare in my game very often; it's not something I find super interesting. BUT!!! I do still want your book, because a) maybe I will like these rules better than I anticipate b) I like supporting your work and c) I know that if I don't get it, I'll always wonder what the content is like. So yeah I'm getting it anyways. Once again, congrats Matt
You can watch a part of this video (timestamp included) where someone explains the setting for Planescape Torment. ruclips.net/video/-_rHuBwaFdw/видео.htmlm28s I can recommend Noah Caldwell-Gervais' videos as a gamer, but decide for yourself if you want to subscribe etc. Regardless, from 3m28s it should give you a pretty good explanation what the different planes are (mostly) as his introduction to the game.
What could possibly be confusing about homebrewing a plane? You just pick a theme (an element, faeries, death, etc.) and build a world based on that theme. Of all the things you could homebrew, this seems like one of the most straight forward: no stats, no cr, just imagination & a working pencil.
This would be incredibly useful actually. I find all the planes quite daunting, especially as someone who is homebrewing a campaign and feeling like the 5e lore ones are unnecessary.
Lumpyrox you don't necessarily need fully realized planes to play d&d. I've been a steady dm/player for 17ish years and I think I could count the number of times a campaign actually spent substantive time in another plane on one hand
@Amanda I guess the reason is that I feel like I want everything to make sense in general terms, even if it's just to me and the party may never explore those planes. As a DM I like having the general knowledge of my world in my head, the reason I DM is because crafting the world deeply excites me.
You talking about cataclysm reminded me of Critical Role when they used a couple earthquake spell's to destroy Vecna's tower. Yeah the tower was destroyed, but the roof simply floated down unharmed. They didn't have to fight up the tower to get to the roof, but they didn't prevent Vecna from being brought back. A very good example of creative spell use being beneficial but not solving everything.
I suspect the difference between Battle Magic and regular old magic is are of effect. A Fireball or Cone of Cold will probably kill or scatter regular infantry, but not in wide enough area to matter in the context of a pitched battle (the exception being spells like Earthquake, Tsunami and Meteor Swarm, which are basically Battle Magic anyway and should be treated as such). My gut feeling is that Battle Magic maps to spell levels 6-9 if a wizard or sorcerer were to learn it and that it probably does 8-12 dice of damage in a ~500' radius if you were using it outside of a pitched battle.
This. Is. Awsome. Really, the more I heard about this book, the more I wish I pledged more in order to get a physical copy of it T-T the problem of living in Italy is that the price really doubled just for shipping. Anyway... this remind me of something I was planning for my setting. Chronicle of Altea is placed in a dying world that after the first Collision (i.e. it crashed pretty much like what happened in Fringe with other planes of existence) is just crumbling apart. In my first idea, inspired by The Dark Tower, I planned that what hold the fabric of reality was a network of places of power, but making something that the player can hold is probably better :D
I admit this is a nonsense comment, but Matt, I hope you eat well, and exercise regularly. I love your passion, you charge me up for D&D, hell you energize my entire group! We want to see you old, with white hair. Hire a personal trainer. Keep kicking ass until the ice caps melt! Big love from New York - you're the best
Hey Matt, congradations on the successful kickstarter. I look forward to seeing the final product. Now that the kickstarters over, where do I go to the store?
Hey so, This Friday I'm inviting the girls from my church to join me and the guys on Friday for some D&D (They asked us....so I'm not forcing them or anything). I have only once run a 1 Shot module. with like 15+ people and it was really fun because we had 4 DMs and like we were all playing for a good 6 hours. But I don't know how I feel about tonight because I am running this solo and I may have to ask my friend to help run it with me. Do you have any advice? Specifically with keeping them engaged and running combat at a smoother pace. Also, I'm a black sheep, I'm extremely extroverted and play sports and stuff but I show my nerd side on the weekends. Not important but, Any advice would surely help me, as I am very nervous about it
I'm sure you'll do great! Don't get too bogged down with the rules in the beginning if you can help it (learning the rules will take time; just make a judgement call, write down what you decided on so you're consistent, check the actual rules after the game). Good luck, I'm sure you'll all have fun!
are spellbooks not a poor mans focus? by having the spellbook, a player can cast the spells that require a focus/material components? also, ritual spells. needs to have the spellbook out and ready to be referenced to cast them.
Don't take it the wrong way, but i think your players sound like casuals-forever ;p if you would tell me this Codex has this kind of knowledge, then you would spend the next 3 days writing it down, cos i would want to HEAR IT ALL even if that would kill my character. But im a lore sucker and one of those irritating guys that takes all the Knowledge skills and constantly demands to be fed useless factoids ;p
My current campaign has an artifact very much like this. It was torn apart, and as a result so was the material plane. The players are in the process of collecting the pages that have been scattered across the demi-planes
So if a player puts the codex into a bag of holding which is a pocket dimension and I would think not technically on the prime material plane/mundane world... Does Banishment become automatic with no saving throw? Should there be wording that the codex can not be removed from the mundane world without some kind of major effort to prevent players from auto-banishing enemies and then just retrieving the codex so the same thing can not be done to them?
I think it is the very existence of the codex that creates that rule, not that codex resides on the prime material plane. The codex is so intertwined with the reality of the mundane world that even when it's located in a different plane it is still affecting the prime material plane.
One could argue that the pocket dimension created by such magics are held within the plane the bag is located in, and crosses into different planes as the bag travels. And by one could argue, I mean the DM could say.
I suppose it could be house ruled, but the wording is very specific and says "While this book resides on the Mundane World". That would suggest that if removed to another plane, or dimension, it ceases to guard against banishment
The codex is a powerful magic item. As such it should receive the "Cannot contain me" feature. It would read as follows "All spells, magic items, and class abilities that would place the Codex in a pocket plain, dimension, or a space between dimensions or planes (such as the astral plane) simply fail outright." Your familiar cannot carry it out. Your bag of holding will not close with the codex inside. And so on.
That makes sense for stuff like Bags of Holding and Portable Holes, but what about the higher level stuff like Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion, or Demiplane? Seems unreasonable to say "Sorry players, you can't take this one magic item into your mansion. Someone's got to stay outside." I think xixFreedomManxix's idea is better.
I love effects like defender of all the earth. Even if they are never used, they impact the players' thinking, creates dramatic tension and gives some really awesome flavor to a character. It's a good resting place for "save or die" mechanics. Congratulations on $2,121,465!
Well, I've been a long time fan of the channel now, and I planned on just getting the swanky cover for the book. But, after all these update videos and after reading Priest and Thief, I decided to go Colvillian. Least I could do after all you've done for this community
I love this idea and have incorporated a simplistic thing with “ancient weapons” in my game. Powerful ancient swords created when the world was made that still reside in this plane hidden away by nature, or in some cases kings or bandits
I've watched both parts of the Battle of Castle Rend livestream - I recall Salar Bearmantle considering using the phoenix against Lady Sariel but never pulling the trigger. Did I miss part of the story?
"While this book is on Prime Material Plane striking two flints together creates a spark that can be used to make fire. If this book is removed from PMP - flints, lightning and alchemical reactions cease to produce fire. Fire can no longer be created, only sustained."
Wanted to support the campaign on March 10th, but Kickstarter kept rejecting my credit card, which I had no problem using at DriveThrough, Roll20 or Alpha. Strange. Anyway I hope we can buy the PDF/book later as well.
hey matt wasn't sure where to post this as i'm not on twitter and I missed the kickstarter. so here it is.. you mentioned (stated) that YOUR class/race determines the kind of stronghold you get/build, what about the rest of the party?? i understand that in your experience few players are interested in owning/running a keep/stronghold but my worry is that its very much favouring one player. is it one member of the party who is lord of the keep? or can the whole party sit as a council? do you have to choose one member (or is one member chosen) as the basis for the stronghold choice? can the party choose? would it be possible to have a 'mixed' stronghold? example being a stronghold with a wizards tower (or is that available with upgrades?)
Hey Matthew I got an unrelated question but I have been scouring for days for good ways to make custom virtual maps but I'm at a loss for finding a way that I can make a map that I can share with my players and store for later use or editing as we evolve our custom setting as the story and world unfold. I'm excited to receive your book and the dragon minis from kickstarter but no one really has a video for this topic (that I can find) that isn't part of a virtual subscription. We play on a giant white board and I make the boss and puzzle rooms and thats fun for us, I don't want to move 100% virtual I just want to make virtual maps for my players, especially being useful for my mega dungeons if they can find the map pieces on each floor.
Hello Matt! i have been wanting to play DnD for a couple months now. I found your channel and ive been binge watching your videos and i love them. I live near palm springs and ive been searching for a local game, but ive had no luck finding one. i was wondering if there was a community online that does dnd through skype or some other medium that i could join? im not sure if something like that exists, but its worth a shot asking. thanks for your awesome vids!
Would you please put the streams you make on saturdays to youtube? Because sometimes it fixates the video at 1080p 60fps and I cant watch it due to my computer's performance. It cant handle that high resolution.
AVE shirt!!!! I love it when a tuber I like also likes another tuber that’s 1000% unrelated .... also ... his use of words is inappropriate poetry at its finest!
Just started watching this channel about a few days ago. Didn't realize there was a kickstarter until literally minutes after the campaign ended... Needless to say I'm quite disappointed.
I added this in my last campaign specifically for the Druid. Similar to Matt’s. I was excited and hoped to see them use it. They were too scared to be the hero ☹️. Maybe too reserved and too new of a player to go for it. Oh well. Maybe next time.
Perhaps you know this and don't mind, but "terra" is a Latin root, whereas "gnosis" is a Greek root. Gaia is Greek for earth. Love the concept, though. Nothing against that.
Wait, i couldve sworn i pledged 30 dollars but it didnt go through... But since the money wasnt taken from my account its fine, ill just buy it when it comes out
On Defender of All The Earth, does once mean that the druid can only use that ability once, or does it mean that the book can only do it once? (as in it only has one charge) If it is once per druid, is there a delay before the next druid can use the book?
I have something in my Faerlands setting known as the Great Covenant. It is both a peace treaty between the gods as well as defining the gods' domains of influence. It consists of two parts; the Proclamation of Light and the Proclamation of Shadow. It is currently sundered with the parts hidden. Congratulations on breaking the $2mil mark!
On a completely different side note what synthesizer do you have and where do I get one? I loved listening to your stream where you were messing about with it.
I need help! I am a Canadian exchange student currently studying in Japan and in my downtime I try to teach my Japanese friends about dnd as there is almost nobody playing it here, and your content has been invaluable in creating simple interesting adventures which everyone seems to love. I was following this Kickstarter since it was announced and I intended on getting my dad to pledge for the Colvillian level so I could get everything when I would return home. He was hesitant initially because of the price but I insisted that I would pay him back and as more info was released I got even more excited. So with one day left I ask him again to pledge and he says he would, so it being late night for me I go to bed, only to find out in the morning that he put it off for later. Long story short my dad hadn’t been giving it enough attention and now I’m stuck with nothing and the Kickstarter is over. I’m terribly upset because back home I run a mix of 1st and 5th edition and this stuff was right up my alley, does anyone know if I can contact Kickstarter or something to possibly pledge late? Regardless, I’m happy Matt has had such great success and I hope nothing but good continues to come his way.
I don't believe you can purchase late, but the pledge manager will give you access to a lot of the kickstarter merch after (not the signed fancy book, I'm afraid). It'll be up in a couple weeks.

I am so happy that I backed at the colvillan level... So very excited for you and all of the wonderful things game you're doing, and glad I was able to be a part of it. Get some rest, and keep being so awesome!
I'm glad you added "once a day" to the book to the elemental summon. the original that was linked didn't have that verbage in it.
That book looks like it hit hard when it fell.
This has inspired me to write a Codex Averni for my players who are now trying to rescue another PC from Avernus. Can't wait for the book!
Congratulations on a very successful Kickstarter. I look forward to the stream tonight, so long as my Twitch app doesn’t shit the bed again.
That's really awesome! I always make sure to put a few magical tomes in my world. This is really great, and I can't wait for my copy of the book!
The imagery I got from the Phoenix ability got me really excited for this book! I can’t wait!
Wow. Almost 2 million dollars. Congrats to you and your team Matt!
It seems like the laws derive from Stephen Donaldson's Illearth series. Which is very cool.
Made my pledge just last night. So excited for this!
I am so excited to get Strongholds & Followers. I hope everything goes well in production for the book because I'm stoked to start playing like this.
Congratulations on reaching 2 million Matt!
Matt, I don't play like you do. I don't expect I will often implement your rules, I don't think I want warfare in my game very often; it's not something I find super interesting. BUT!!! I do still want your book, because a) maybe I will like these rules better than I anticipate b) I like supporting your work and c) I know that if I don't get it, I'll always wonder what the content is like.
So yeah I'm getting it anyways. Once again, congrats Matt
FeeblePenguin It sounds like it's going be a fun read even if you don't plan on adopting any rules for your campaign.
I haven't watched this video yet but this better be a book about every type of terrasque.
Can you do a video on planes? Like explaining them and how to homebrew them
You can watch a part of this video (timestamp included) where someone explains the setting for Planescape Torment. ruclips.net/video/-_rHuBwaFdw/видео.htmlm28s
I can recommend Noah Caldwell-Gervais' videos as a gamer, but decide for yourself if you want to subscribe etc. Regardless, from 3m28s it should give you a pretty good explanation what the different planes are (mostly) as his introduction to the game.

spoilers, jeez... :\
Man, I'm only on a week of being interested in d&d and watching your videos and I want Strongholds & Followers
Thanks, I hope your players explore the world in more depth and engage with what you've created.
@0:42 "anything could happen" *book falls in the background*
He's a man of his word.
I suspect the difference between Battle Magic and regular old magic is are of effect. A Fireball or Cone of Cold will probably kill or scatter regular infantry, but not in wide enough area to matter in the context of a pitched battle (the exception being spells like Earthquake, Tsunami and Meteor Swarm, which are basically Battle Magic anyway and should be treated as such).

0:43 Book falls over. Matt keeps talking like nothing happened. :p

We want to see you old, with white hair. Hire a personal trainer. Keep kicking ass until the ice caps melt! Big love from New York - you're the best
2 million dollars that's amazing
Hey Matt, congradations on the successful kickstarter. I look forward to seeing the final product. Now that the kickstarters over, where do I go to the store?
Will the livestream be uploaded to the yubtubs?
He's previously said no, but it will stick around on his twitch for a little while (a month?) afterwards.
ok thanks
Lol, yubtubs! 😂 you remind me of my friend!
I already have some ideas to put the codexs into my campaign
How does every one of these videos get me more excited for the release of this product?
I love this codex thing
0:42 that book in the back freaked me out
Love the idea of the book Matt, but just so it is clear, what do you mean by "power" in the Cataclysm spell. Is it damage?
Will you be planning on doing another hexographer stream at some point?
Opporrunity to show a snippet from Raiders of the Lost Ark missed at 9:45
Hey! I just discovered you and your kickstarter...but it ended...Is there a way to buy the pdf version of the book somehow? :(
I just pledged! TYVM Matt
That's AWESOME.
Are there stats to the form of the Phoenix or is it a purely narrative tool where the player has to improvise all their actions and their effect?
Hey so, This Friday I'm inviting the girls from my church to join me and the guys on Friday for some D&D (They asked us....so I'm not forcing them or anything). I have only once run a 1 Shot module. with like 15+ people and it was really fun because we had 4 DMs and like we were all playing for a good 6 hours. But I don't know how I feel about tonight because I am running this solo and I may have to ask my friend to help run it with me. Do you have any advice?
Specifically with keeping them engaged and running combat at a smoother pace.
Also, I'm a black sheep, I'm extremely extroverted and play sports and stuff but I show my nerd side on the weekends. Not important but, Any advice would surely help me, as I am very nervous about it
I'm sure you'll do great! Don't get too bogged down with the rules in the beginning if you can help it (learning the rules will take time; just make a judgement call, write down what you decided on so you're consistent, check the actual rules after the game). Good luck, I'm sure you'll all have fun!
$2,000,094 This is Amazing
are spellbooks not a poor mans focus? by having the spellbook, a player can cast the spells that require a focus/material components? also, ritual spells. needs to have the spellbook out and ready to be referenced to cast them.
Woo, magic items.
Teleportation Circle cannot cross planes iirc, should be Planeshift
Will there be more codices than just the one? Most of my friends have no interest in playing druids
Are you looking for content creators for your stream? If so would you want people to use your world?
2 million hype!
AvE? Nice.
God I love you shirt!
Top. Men.
love the AvE shirt =D
In a library guarded by what men?
Thoughtsmith “Top. Men.” -brilliant Raiders of the Lost Ark reference.
I was just looking for the first two words and the full stops!
What's 6 pst in EST???
Skippy Zc just add three hours.
That blue book/thing in the back moved at 0:43 and now I want to know its story
It's the first book of Stephen Sondheim's lyrics and annotations and I took the second book off the shelf, so it slowly fell over.
Don't take it the wrong way, but i think your players sound like casuals-forever ;p if you would tell me this Codex has this kind of knowledge, then you would spend the next 3 days writing it down, cos i would want to HEAR IT ALL even if that would kill my character. But im a lore sucker and one of those irritating guys that takes all the Knowledge skills and constantly demands to be fed useless factoids ;p
Hello I am third
Watched one of your videos yesterday. Loved the idea. Just made my pledge. Pretty good timing, I'd say!
You should go rest Matt!
No kidding, don't burn yourself out Matt!
The wizard: "Codex Terragnosis, I need a meat shield! Summon a fire elemental!"
The codex: *summons the fire lord Imix*
My current campaign has an artifact very much like this. It was torn apart, and as a result so was the material plane. The players are in the process of collecting the pages that have been scattered across the demi-planes
Much like the plot of 'Yooka Laylee' hahahaha! Nice!
Sounds like the Hundred Acre Woods world from kingdom hearts.
Love the AvE shirt. He's my second favorite Canuk repairman behind Dave's World of Fun Stuff. If your guitar is gooched, Dave can fix it.
First thing I noticed too!
Make sure you get your sleep man!
Skookum!!! My two favorite ...yet completely unrelated...youtubers come together. As awesome as it is strange.
So if a player puts the codex into a bag of holding which is a pocket dimension and I would think not technically on the prime material plane/mundane world... Does Banishment become automatic with no saving throw?

Congratulations on $2,121,465!
Matt, congratulations on the Kickstarter, can't wait for the finished products!
Well, I've been a long time fan of the channel now, and I planned on just getting the swanky cover for the book. But, after all these update videos and after reading Priest and Thief, I decided to go Colvillian. Least I could do after all you've done for this community
Skookum!! that guys channel is really entertaining.
Wow, that Phoenix Druid rule sounds very X-Men! Cool!
Some very nice ideas. Looking forward to getting the book!
you have improved my life and my enthusiasm for this game with your videos. Thank you.
I love this idea and have incorporated a simplistic thing with “ancient weapons” in my game. Powerful ancient swords created when the world was made that still reside in this plane hidden away by nature, or in some cases kings or bandits
Was there a livestream of the assault on castle Rend? I'd love to watch that.
Yes, check Matt's channel, it's in there somewhere
"Increment their casualty die???"
He talks about this in earlier videos regarding the kickstarter. I think yesterday's video, or the one before.
Oooooh right, the Warfare rules, I see. That explains it. Thank you very much.
I like how this keeps up the tradition of magic items that are unique and way more than a +! sword or cloak.
I've watched both parts of the Battle of Castle Rend livestream - I recall Salar Bearmantle considering using the phoenix against Lady Sariel but never pulling the trigger. Did I miss part of the story?
As far as I remember - not Phoenix at livestream.
i was wondering the same thing too.
Really interested to see what the Book of FIRE does :D
"While this book is on Prime Material Plane striking two flints together creates a spark that can be used to make fire. If this book is removed from PMP - flints, lightning and alchemical reactions cease to produce fire. Fire can no longer be created, only sustained."
Obviously I made that up - just thinking of some major FY moments that a DM could create with a concept of such a book
Wanted to support the campaign on March 10th, but Kickstarter kept rejecting my credit card, which I had no problem using at DriveThrough, Roll20 or Alpha. Strange. Anyway I hope we can buy the PDF/book later as well.
hey matt wasn't sure where to post this as i'm not on twitter and I missed the kickstarter. so here it is..
you mentioned (stated) that YOUR class/race determines the kind of stronghold you get/build, what about the rest of the party?? i understand that in your experience few players are interested in owning/running a keep/stronghold but my worry is that its very much favouring one player.
is it one member of the party who is lord of the keep? or can the whole party sit as a council? do you have to choose one member (or is one member chosen) as the basis for the stronghold choice? can the party choose? would it be possible to have a 'mixed' stronghold? example being a stronghold with a wizards tower (or is that available with upgrades?)
Hey Matthew I got an unrelated question but I have been scouring for days for good ways to make custom virtual maps but I'm at a loss for finding a way that I can make a map that I can share with my players and store for later use or editing as we evolve our custom setting as the story and world unfold. I'm excited to receive your book and the dragon minis from kickstarter but no one really has a video for this topic (that I can find) that isn't part of a virtual subscription. We play on a giant white board and I make the boss and puzzle rooms and thats fun for us, I don't want to move 100% virtual I just want to make virtual maps for my players, especially being useful for my mega dungeons if they can find the map pieces on each floor.
To quote Tom Stoppard's portrayal of AE Houseman, "who is responsible for this barbarity? It's half Greek and half Latin!"
Hello Matt! i have been wanting to play DnD for a couple months now. I found your channel and ive been binge watching your videos and i love them. I live near palm springs and ive been searching for a local game, but ive had no luck finding one. i was wondering if there was a community online that does dnd through skype or some other medium that i could join? im not sure if something like that exists, but its worth a shot asking. thanks for your awesome vids!
Would you please put the streams you make on saturdays to youtube? Because sometimes it fixates the video at 1080p 60fps and I cant watch it due to my computer's performance. It cant handle that high resolution.
Dang, it says here kickstarter ends at 9am, but it's already closed as of 8:30am PST.
AVE shirt!!!! I love it when a tuber I like also likes another tuber that’s 1000% unrelated .... also ... his use of words is inappropriate poetry at its finest!
Just started watching this channel about a few days ago. Didn't realize there was a kickstarter until literally minutes after the campaign ended... Needless to say I'm quite disappointed.
Congratulations on your "moderately successful" kickstarter campaign raising $2 million and change. Looking forward to getting it in my hands.
UNIVERSAL SOLVENT: the plot device, not the magic item. (See also: plot armor; half a hit point)
I added this in my last campaign specifically for the Druid. Similar to Matt’s. I was excited and hoped to see them use it. They were too scared to be the hero ☹️. Maybe too reserved and too new of a player to go for it. Oh well. Maybe next time.

I'm late to the party and wondering: Will I be able to purchase Strongholds & Followers now that the kickstarter has ended?
On Defender of All The Earth, does once mean that the druid can only use that ability once, or does it mean that the book can only do it once? (as in it only has one charge) If it is once per druid, is there a delay before the next druid can use the book?
I have something in my Faerlands setting known as the Great Covenant. It is both a peace treaty between the gods as well as defining the gods' domains of influence. It consists of two parts; the Proclamation of Light and the Proclamation of Shadow.
It is currently sundered with the parts hidden.
Congratulations on breaking the $2mil mark!
On a completely different side note what synthesizer do you have and where do I get one? I loved listening to your stream where you were messing about with it.
Question, is the paper from the leatherette book the same as the paper in the PHB, in consistency, thickness, gloss, ect?
I turned the codices in my world essentially into a nuclear deterrant. It's worked pretty well as a worldbuilding device
So looking at this book is not at all what I would use. I was wondering if there are rules to turn groups of characters into inits (3.5e)
What language does the word Terragosis come from? Id love to incorporate some of it in my own magic items?
Wait what about the Universal Solvent? Isn't that a universal solvent? I use it for everything!
I need help! I am a Canadian exchange student currently studying in Japan and in my downtime I try to teach my Japanese friends about dnd as there is almost nobody playing it here, and your content has been invaluable in creating simple interesting adventures which everyone seems to love. I was following this Kickstarter since it was announced and I intended on getting my dad to pledge for the Colvillian level so I could get everything when I would return home. He was hesitant initially because of the price but I insisted that I would pay him back and as more info was released I got even more excited. So with one day left I ask him again to pledge and he says he would, so it being late night for me I go to bed, only to find out in the morning that he put it off for later. Long story short my dad hadn’t been giving it enough attention and now I’m stuck with nothing and the Kickstarter is over. I’m terribly upset because back home I run a mix of 1st and 5th edition and this stuff was right up my alley, does anyone know if I can contact Kickstarter or something to possibly pledge late? Regardless, I’m happy Matt has had such great success and I hope nothing but good continues to come his way.
I don't believe you can purchase late, but the pledge manager will give you access to a lot of the kickstarter merch after (not the signed fancy book, I'm afraid). It'll be up in a couple weeks.
Did anyone else notice after he said anything can happen the book in the back went from standing to laying down
