We’ve hit our goal!   

We've done it!

Yahhooo! 10 hours to go and we’ve surpassed our goal and you made it happen!   

This is incredible. Thank you.   

There’s still half a day left in the campaign so now’s a great time to snag more rewards. And if you know someone who’d love Roll For Your Life, you can assure them that the project is fully funded and they will be rolling for their Witch, Alien, Pirate or Noir Detective before too long! Let’s keep this thing rolling, who knows what could happen—we might even hit a stretch goal!

New tiers for the home stretch!
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Jun 27, 2023 at 08:06:51 PM

Hi everyone,  

We are in the home stretch with 3 days left. It’s a very exciting time for the campaign and our goal is within reach. 

Big news about reward tiers! 

We’ve decided to make some changes to the offerings of the $500 Book Cameo and $300 Custom character tier.   

Custom Character Tier *revamped* 

The Custom Character tier is now the Mini-cameo tier! You or someone you nominate (or your cat) will now be featured somewhere within the pages of our book; as a villain, shopkeeper, robot or dragon tamer. This tier will no longer offer a custom character drawing.   *submitted image must be approved by the team.

Book Cameo Tier *revamped* 

We are now featuring all four of the Book Cameo backers as the sole “Headline Image” featured on the first page of a chapter. A big special spotlight cameo! This tier still includes the custom character drawing by Conor Nolan of a Wizard or Alien character they'll create using Roll for Your Life

Retailer Tier 

We are also now offering a Retail Only Tier, allowing for stores in the USA to stock their shelves with Roll For Your Life. It would mean the world to us if you could reach out to your local book stores and hobby shops and encourage them to check out our campaign. We’d love to work with smaller brick and mortar stores.   

Podcast by the creators!

Last but not least, we (the creators) have made a Roll For Your Life podcast! If you’d like you can listen to us roll through the Wizard chapter to create interesting characters, discuss the book and giggle a bit. 

Here’s Episode 1: Wizard 

We so appreciate everyone who has supported this so project so far and if you can help spread the word about our final days on Kickstarter that would be amazing. Thanks again!

Your name in the book!
almost 3 years ago – Wed, Jun 14, 2023 at 10:05:07 AM

Hi Everyone, 

We’re about to update our campaign page to clarify the benefits of supporting us here, now, specifically on Kickstarter. But I wanted to let backers know first: we’ve decided to include the name of every backer in the book as Founders!  

It’s another way for us to show our appreciation and commemorate your support.  

And don’t forget that Henry will be chatting about Roll For Your Life on Rule of Lore’s Twitch channel, this Friday the 16th at 6pm pacific.

Onward!
