Bookmark Unlocked, Slipcase Upgrades Next, Plus New PDF Add-Ons Available
over 2 years ago – Wed, Feb 09, 2022 at 06:30:33 PM

Thanks to your help spreading the word about the Kickstarter and crushing the $45K stretch goal, all backers of physical rewards will receive a free 2” x 6” Absolute Power printed bookmark with their pledge shipment. With this plus the sewn bookmark ribbon unlocked at $35K, you’ll never lose your place again while flipping through pages!

$50K Stretch Goal: Spot UV Coating On Slipcase Editions

If the campaign reaches the $50K funding level, we will overlay sleek spot UV coatings onto the logos and cover characters of the Book One and Book Two slipcase dust jackets – a prefect finish to these gorgeous volumes! This goal complements the UV coating you previously unlocked at $25K for the two standard edition hardcovers. The example image below from two of our RPG books shows the difference between a coated cover (BESM Fourth Edition) and flat cover (BESM Naked).

BONUS Second $50K Stretch Goal!

Since $50K is significant benchmark, we’re offering a second bonus stretch goal should the campaign funding reach this amount: we’ll add a spot UV coating to the slipcase box itself, which will really make it stand out from your other game books.

Your support is critical to Absolute Power’s success, and we would be thrilled to offer this executive finish to the deluxe slipcase set – with our thanks.

New PDF Add-Ons Now Available

You spoke and we listened. Several of our awesome backers have requested more PDF-only add-on options, so we have now made several available. Free PDF copies still accompany your print pledges, but if you’re only interested in PDF downloads, you can now add-on the following products:

Free Adventure and $45K Stretch Goal!
over 2 years ago – Wed, Feb 09, 2022 at 05:40:38 AM

Have we thanked you recently for your continued support? Because you certainly deserve it! In under 11 hours since the campaign launched, you’ve help it reach 200% of its funding goal. 😱

You broke through another stretch goal at $40K, and now every backer pledging $59+ will receive a free copy of the classic Silver Age Sentinels adventure Emergency Response #1 with updated stat blocks so it can be used with Absolute Power.

$45K Stretch Goal: Printed Physical Bookmark

If the campaign reaches this threshold, we are pleased to offer this special gift to every backer who pledges for a physical reward: a 2” x 6” Absolute Power printed bookmark to keep your place in your favourite RPG, novel, or textbook. We are still finalising the design since there’s lots of time before we send it to press – and you unlocked this stretch goal really quickly! – but rest assured it’ll be awesome!

Thank you again for helping make this first half-day of the campaign such a tremendous success! We’ll check in tomorrow.

Third Stretch Goal is Crushed!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Feb 08, 2022 at 09:43:28 PM

It feels like we are spamming your inbox today with all these updates, but you keep crushing the stretch goals so quickly! With the $35K threshold reached, both core book hardcovers will each have a bookmark ribbon sewn into the spine. 👍

For the next stretch goal, we pivot from physical upgrades and into additional content.

$40K Stretch Goal: Emergency Response #1

If the campaign reaches $40K in funding, we will update the classic Silver Age Sentinels adventure Emergency Response #1 with supplementary character/item stat blocks that are compatible with Absolute Power. The original adventure plus the stat update will be made available as a free PDF download for all backers at the $59+ EXPLORER tier and above.

Stay tuned for even more updates tomorrow as we keep posting stretch goals and you keep knocking them down! 😂

Sweet! Slipcase Edition Dust Jackets are Unlocked!
over 2 years ago – Tue, Feb 08, 2022 at 09:43:24 PM

Well, you collectively didn’t take long to smash through the $30K stretch goal, helping us achieve 150% funding in five hours! Backers with pledges that include the Slipcase Edition are going to love having wraparound dust jackets that’ll tenderly embrace their gorgeous volumes! 😂

$35K Stretch Goal: Bookmark Ribbon for Hardcovers

If the campaign reaches $35K in funding, you’ll unlock another physical upgrade for both hardcover volumes (for both standard and slipcase editions): a convenient satiny bookmark ribbon that’ll be sewn into the spine to keep your important pages handy. It’s not an essential upgrade, but it sure beats using a pen or character sheet or pair of scissors to hold your spot while you leaf through the book (we’ve all been in that place, right? RIGHT?!?)

The image below shows how the ribbons turned out in our BESM RPG line. From the feedback we’ve received, they’re are a huge hit with both players and GMs.
