about 1 month ago – Thu, Oct 17, 2024 at 03:09:20 PM

This campaign exceeded every expectation we had. Seeing all of your excited comments, suggestions & kind words brought us so much joy and excitement as we watched the campaign's sails catch wind!

We raised over $276,000 - unlocking 6 stretch goals including the Alchemy VTT access, the Corsair Miniature set, and the Fate of the Fogweaver one shot pdf.

We can't thank you all enough for your support of this project, and we can't wait to get SINK! & its treasure hoard of accessories into your hands.

What’s Next?

Kickstarter is going to begin to process payments for this campaign and the process can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks.

When the initial pledge processing is complete... 

We’ll send out BackerKit surveys!

Surveys will then be sent out to collect your shipping details, along with your pledge selection and add-ons. You'll be able to upgrade your pledge or add additional add-ons with the survey as well! As we get closer to releasing surveys, we will have information on how to fill out your survey, as well as specifics for choosing your add-ons. 

We ask that you hold your BackerKit questions until then! Surveys will be open until we start fulfilling, but to guarantee your order we suggest filling out the survey as soon as possible.

It's a game about being a greedy, filthy scoundrel. It's about finding a ship, recruiting a crew, and raiding, pillaging, plundering, and otherwise pilfering your weasly black guts out!

about 2 months ago – Fri, Sep 27, 2024 at 05:37:50 AM

SINK! on Critical Role's Everything is Content is Live on Youtube!

If you're a fan of parrots, tattoos, and/or dunk tanks, you're not going to want to miss the most recent episode of Critical Role's Everything is Content

SINK! creators Rick Esquivias, Sam Rusk, and Johnny Stanton joined Critical Role cast members Marisha Ray and Taliesin Jaffe for some swashbuckling escapades. Watch SINK!'s original subclasses and the sunken condition mechanics at play when exploring the dungeons of the Caldereach Sea.

Click here to watch the episode on Youtube, and be sure to stick around till the end to see who gets dunked!

Product Samples!

We have been looking forward to seeing the amazing products that come with SINK! and we finally have some in hand!

First off, the Storm in a Bottle liquid core enamel pin looks amazing with its black glitter drizzling down behind Sam Rusk's gorgeous artwork. This is going to look incredible on a backpack or saddlebag where everyone can see it glimmer when it jostles around!

We also have our first photo of the cover of the Master Tome DM Screen by Elderwood Academy! Elderwood makes magnificent products and this is no exception. The Master Tome can be used as a DM screen, but can also carry dice sets, miniatures, and source books (including a copy of SINK! itself) inside its wooden frame. And while it's not in use, it will look EPIC on a bookshelf with the metallic face of Y'gathul staring out at you!

Project We Love: Dragon Town and the Darkness Below

You might be able to tell that we here at SINK! love non-traditional TTRPG art styles. so we LOVE JP Coovert's system-neutral fantasy adventures in his newest project, Dragon Town and the Darkness Below. Perfect for new and experienced tabletop role-play gamers alike, this book is filled with magic items, weird NPCs, and beautiful maps. 

We are eyeing the very fun DM screen featuring the art style's doodle-esque monsters. The next time we run a game for kids, this GM screen will be in use!

about 2 months ago – Thu, Sep 19, 2024 at 11:27:58 AM

Because it is International Talk Like A Pirate Day, of course! 

Go give a friend a big "AHOY!" and tell them about how today is the LAST DAY FOR EARLY BACKER EXCLUSIVES.

Project we Love: Pirate Borg! Down Among the Dead

PIRATE BORG is a rules-light, art-heavy, deadly d20-based game where your cutlass & flintlock may be the only thing standing between your crew and the undead horde! It's a game about being a greedy, filthy scoundrel. It's about finding a ship, recruiting a crew, and raiding, pillaging, plundering, and otherwise pilfering your weasly black guts out! In the Kickstarter, you can pick up the PIRATE BORG core book plus the Down Among the Dead and Cabin Fever expansion hardcovers, a Starter Set, and a trove of accessories like Devil's Luck coins, sharp-edged resin dice, and more naval combat tokens than you could ever need or even imagine!

I know personally we're in steep in gambling debt over the over the D2 Devil's Luck Coins. They say they're lucky in it's name, we're sure to make it all back on the next flip! 

Check it Out!

PROGRESS

We are well on our way towards Stretch Goal #4, the Corsairs Mini Set! Villain minis are always fun, but players want to see themselves represented on the battlemap too! When we reach $200,000, we will develop the Corsairs Mini Set, consisting of the Mist Breaker Ranger, Spellskin Wizard, Tide Song Bard, and the Buccaneer Fighter. Not only that, we will also throw in the dreaded Rune Flayer pirate captain, whose allegiances are unknown, which makes him and his hunger for magical tattoos all the more frightening.

When reached, we will add all 5 miniatures to the Grimscar's Bounty Tier, as well as the STL files so anyone with the Digital Deluxe tier and up can print the miniature at home! Up those pledges and help us get to #200,000!

We have so many more stretch goals planned, so take advantage of today to get more friends to back SINK!
