WOW. What an amazing start! Caverns of Thracia is about to clear $300k and has closed out nearly every stretch goal we published. We owe you Founding Backers more than 2,300 "thanks" for putting Caverns of Thracia in the company it deserves: among the most celebrated D&D adventures of all time.

As one reviewer put it, Caverns of Thracia "exists in stratospheric heights that are approachable by few and matched only by Gygax in his prime. Worth playing and replaying, and can be picked over endlessly without ever fully being known." I think the project's success reflects that appraisal.

We've paid close attention to backer feedback during our livestreams and in the comments since then. In this update we will centralize a few pieces of info. Our topics today are:

New Pledge Levels

Our two most popular pledge levels are the ones that were requested by backers during our launch livestream - "just the books" for 5E and DCC. Later (due to popular demand!) we also added "just the books, 5E+DCC." For those not already aware, these pledge levels now exist!

As most of you noticed, when you pledge you can select "Team 5E" or "Team DCC." Then you get a trivia question! This is our way of having some fun with gaming trivia over the course of the campaign. You can click "Trivia Challenge" in the top menu to see the current status.

Right now Team 5E is slightly ahead with the most correct answers. Over the course of our campaign the trivia questions will change. And maybe, just maybe, the winning team will get some sort of benefit in the end!

Answer the trivia question if you haven't already, and pay close attention as the campaign goes on!

Stretch Goals

Wow...we have closed out almost every stretch goal. In fact, we're $24 away from the next stretch goal as I type this. We have a few more up our sleeve, but it's clear we will need to add some new ones by the time our monthlong campaign is up. Backers, we'd like to hear from you! Are there any specific aspects of Caverns of Thracia that you'd like to see reflected in the new stretch goals we consider adding? As always there will be cost considerations, but if we can make it happen we will try!

Just for kicks...here are all the stretch goals we've closed out so far. Amazing!

Insider tip: artist Aaron Kreader did an excellent job of illustrating these stretch goals. Follow the art...it tells a story and hints at what you'll see in the content!

And we're inches away from opening up the Ruins of Thracia poster map!

Did we miss anything?

There is a very active community forming, and a lot of comments have been posted! We've tried to answer them all, but if we've missed any important questions, pose them here and we'll try to get to them!
