Wail - Itchfunding complete

Wail
A downloadable game

The Itchfunding for Wail is now complete, thanks so much to all 160 of you that backed this project. I really hope you are enjoying Wail and building your own worlds to explore. The reception to this has been way, way better than I could have imagined and I'm so excited that people have been leaving such lovely reviews (though I do wish they were public facing!) 

I have just uploaded the updated Artless rules and the plaintext version for ease of use. There have been some edits to the rules, a Quick reference section,  character advancement rules, Adventure hooks and a couple of story oracles. This version is available now and will be used when I add the artwork. (maybe with minor layout changes)

This is the current timeline for the project moving forward:

  • Today: The final rules are available in layout and plaintext (epub to follow when I get it looking good on a kindle)   
  • Early March the art version will be made available alongside the Mysteries of the Wailing Lands add-on. 
  • Second week of March I will claim the funds from Itch. When they clear I will order a proof copy of the Zine, add-on and additional sheets. (Character, Waycastle and Map) If all goes to plan then I will do a full order of all content ready to go onto my Etsy store. 
  • Then in late March/ early April I will be sending out emails with a link to the product along with a discount code for each backer. 
  • After the physical launch each backer will be sent a code to access the Wailing Hex Kit here on Itch free of charge. 

I will do the print run in batches in case there is not so much of a demand for the printed zine. Everyone who wanted the zine will absolutely get a chance to get one and have a discount but my fear is a lack of interest in the printed copy and having boxes of unsold zines in my flat. (I don't think my small flat could handle 160 zines, 160 add-ons and playsheets!)
