StoryGuider kicked off yesterday afternoon/evening along with the rest of Printopia... and it is heading toward the goal!

Backing StoryGuider funds human-made art for these SEL focused adventures for kids, and supporting at any campaign level, even the $1 tier, gets you the Early Bird reward (and still helps the project gain visibility). 




Check it out on Backerkit today, and help this project hit its goal while reserving your Early Bird bonus!




Thank you,

Hi all!

The StoryGuider campaign kicks off this Tuesday, so I wanted to give a summary of what you need to know leading up to launch day.

First, the campaign will go live on Tuesday, 9/9, at 1pm PT.  This is 4pm ET and 9pm BST to just give a couple other timezones.

Once it launches, I'll send out a message to everyone signed up so you can get in on the early bird reward, which is a bonus coloring book!  I'll also be sending out the secret BIG BUNDLE discount tier to everyone who is signed up for the TTRPGkids newsletter before launch.   Keep an eye on your emails to get your bonuses!



I've also drawn the name for giveaway raffle, and the winner has been notified by email.  If you have any questions about the raffle, please email me at [email protected].

Lastly, I wanted to cover the format for the campaign rewards up front so you know exactly what you'll be getting. 

Because printing and shipping costs are fluxuating frequently right now, to mitigate risk AND not have to charge a buffer to backers for printing cost, I'm only charging the digital cost of the product.  I will then provide backers with an at-cost print-on-demand (POD) key that will let you choose later, based on printing and shipping cost at fulfillment time, if you want the physical copy.



The at-cost POD key means that, if you want the physical book, you would only pay the printer the cost to print; there will be no added work fee or profit to me included in this.  

You also will get to judge if you want to pay for shipping later instead of committing to a physical book now and then potentially getting hit with a high shipping fee that you weren't expecting or don't want to cover... after having already paid for a physical book. 

AND this will allow easy international fulfillment since the printers I'm working with ship worldwide.  I plan on using at least one printer that has both a US and international location, so your order will come from the location that gives you the best shipping rate.

I'm hoping this gives you a good overview of what to expect on launch day, and if you have any questions, let me know here or email [email protected]!  

Looking forward to TUESDDAY!!

Hello all!

Coloring creations!

I want to kick off this week's update with an art share of pages from StoryGuider that folks have colored to add their own flair!  Because this is a coloring book story, readers will be able to add color how they want either in the book or via separate printed sheets.



Don't miss the raffle!

The raffle for a free pledge ends soon!  I'll notify the winner on September 8, the day before the campaign launches, and if we can hit 200 followers for the project before then, I'll upgrade the prize from a BIG BUNDLE pledge (all three StoryGuider Big Books) to the ALL IN pledge (all three StoryGuider Big Books PLUS a set of other works by TTRPGkids)!

Visit the TTRPGkids website page here to enter the raffle!

And sign up for the TTRPGkids newsletter to get access to a special $5 off BIG BUNDLE tier on launch day!

Until next update, thank you for checking the project out, and happy gaming!!

This week, I want to share some of the goals we hope to accomplish with the StoryGuider campaign AND highlight another TTRPG campaign to check out that's in funding phase right now!

StoryGuider goals

For StoryGuider, our main goals are to hire artists and facilitate the work required to get books into print.  Beyond that... we have hopes of adding an SRD, extra art updates, AND maybe even a translation or two (the first is French) to be included along with the base English version! 

Your support for the campaign will help us reach these, and I'm excited to see how far we can go. 



Weird, Whimsy, and Wonder

Aside from my project, I like to help boost work from others!

This week, I'm highlighting Weird, Whimsy, and Wonder by Cezar Capacle.  This guide is great for generating characters, places, creatures, and things for making your TTRPG worlds colorful and unique!



Giveaway reminder!

One more reminder that TTRPGkids is running a giveaway for a free pledge; this will run until just before the campaign starts, and you can earn entries by signing up for pre-launch and the TTRPGkids newsletter! 

Signing up for the newsletter will also get you access to a special $5 off tier on launch day.


Until next update, thank you for checking the project out, and happy gaming!!
