Dear backers,
This morning Kathryn and I woke up to find our 3rd stretch goal unlocked!
This will enable us to give the teaching pack a professional finish in line with the core games. The tool was produced by superstar educators and close friends Maryanne Cullinan and Jennifer Genova, with consultancy from experts in the field of sign language studies and Deaf awareness.
Hard to believe we’re on our way to the stretch goal for the Actual Play production from an up-and-coming studio. Trust us that this collaboration is incredibly exciting and would open the doors to a long term partnership!
Thank you again for all the support and please keep sharing the project!

Reward Tier Confusion

There has been a little confusion surrounding the pledge tiers for UNDERISLES (Pendragon & Silver Apple). Though it's mentioned on the story page, these pledge tiers come with a complimentary copy of our core game INSPIRISLES. This is a free digital PDF and simply enables players to experience the game regardless of the reward they choose.
We should've made this clearer, but unfortunately we can't alter anything now. Hopefully folks just appreciate the gesture!
Funded and on to those Stretch Goals!

Dear backers,
You have helped us fund in under 3 hours, which means finishing the trilogy is now a reality. Now we want to push for those stretch goals! First up is expanding the art for the game. We want UNDERISLES to match the other books in the trilogy, with the same beautiful human-made illustrations players have come to expect.
The hex crawl maps for UNDERISLES will be produced by Brazilian artist Fernando Salvaterra, who previously created the floating islands for OVERISLES and the world map for Cryptid Creeks (seen below). We also want more original characters from Deaf artist Helia Santo. We'd also like to let WillowsQuest contribute to interior art beyond the sign language material.
Over the next few days, expect further articles from Rascal News and TTRPGKids.
Thank you again!

Dear backers,
It looks like we're on course to fund in the first few hours of the campaign which is incredible! Thank you all so much for your support, and please share the project across your socials.
We have added an article from Polygon to the Media & Awards section, which details our journey over the last 5 years since creating Inspirisles.

We've also updated the shipping to include all locations, as it's clear we have keen players outside the UK and US.
Much thanks everyone!
Rich & Kathryn
