Last Day
about 5 years ago – Mon, Apr 29, 2019 at 10:54:24 PM

It's been an exciting month, and we're so grateful to have you all on board. Only a handful of our beloved characters died along the way, but we have great confidence they'll all be dead when this is all over.

So Many Stretch Goals Unlocked!

All games purchased through this Kickstarter will include the five stretch goal characters pictured above and full-color rules. Deluxe edition backers will get five double-sided player mats. Retail backers will get a free demo copy. 

And everyone will get six printable player mat PDFs, access to custom card creation at DriveThruCards and an interactive game tutorial at Dized. 🎉

Here's the art that will be on the back of the player boards, for use with your other Gloom games:

One Last Add-on

Because of your interest, we're happy to announce that The Looking Glass promo card will be available as an add-on to this Kickstarter for $1 shipped. It has only been previously available as an opaque card, but now it's going to be transparent! 

Thanks

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We appreciate your support and participation in this campaign more than we can say. Atlas Games loves you!

So Many Cool Pictures for the Last Days of Our Campaign

Campaign Coin Throne Token

Got the samples of the Porcelain Throne token in and they’re so cool. These will come with every copy of the deluxe game and be available as an add-on for $10.

GameTrayz Deluxe Box Insert

GameTrayz has also sent us some mockups. Pictured above is the deluxe box insert. This has enough space to both hold unused cards and serve as a draw/discard pile during play! This is only available with the deluxe edition. As part of the deluxe box, which roars like a dragon. 🐲

Final Stretch Goals

We’ve unlocked all five stretch goal characters. Each game purchased through this Kickstarter will contain 25 Character cards, which means it easily accommodates five players now. 

At $50,000, we will unlock a fifth player mat for the deluxe edition! At the same time, we will make all five player mats available as a printable for all backers. 

At $60,000, all player mats will be made double-sided and reversible, with core Gloom-style graphics on the back, so you can use these mats with your other Gloom games. When this is unlocked, all backers will receive the art as a printable.

Please keep sharing this campaign to help us finish strong and make all these cool extras available.

Custom Gloom Cards

Retail backers who increase their pledge to $300 or more will receive 60+ copies of a custom, clear, factory-made, playable Gloom card for your store. Your pledge can be used as a credit toward any Atlas Games products at a 50% discount off MSRP.

Make your GM a Character, make your store a Residence, or do your favorite Event as an Event! Your options are open and the possibilities are endless.

Creative details are due May 7, 2019. We will invent our own miserable details for the custom cards of those who miss the deadline!

Retail-Only Stretch Goal

If we get 100 retail backers, every one of you will receive a free demo copy of Gloom of Thrones standard edition. We’re already at 88 stores, so this is well within reach! Please help spread the word to other stores to make sure we reach this retail-only stretch goal. Use this link: http://tinyurl.com/gloom-for-retailers

How to Play Video

If you’ve never played Gloom before, this is a must-watch. If you’re a veteran Gloom player, check it out to learn more about the new Porcelain Throne mechanic.

Snark Motto Submissions

Backers seemed to have fun coming up with their own mottos for Motto Monday, rather than just voting between two of ours, so we’ve decided to open up the next Motto Monday to your best ideas! You have all weekend to submit your best motto for the Snarks’ house words; on Motto Monday we will vote among them as usual. Comment on this update with your suggestion. One submission per backer, please. 

The vote for the Bannisters is still going until Monday!
