I'm not sure what exactly you're asking about! Our bonus games are being delivered separately (or already have been and are now available online for purchase), but this book's stretch goals were all art-related, and that's included. If there's something else you're wondering about, let me know!
Is there a chance the icons in the game (like for chaos, anomaly power outcomes, commendations, demerits, etc.) might get released as assets and added to the third party license? I'm working on some third party stuff and for stylistic reasons and so players can know what they're looking at quickly, I'd love to use them.
I definitely want to make this kind of thing happen eventually! I don't have a set timeline for it, though, and it may be a little while. I'll bump it up my to-do list!
I wouldn't worry about the Playwall if the players are different every game, but if Agents might recur at all, let them keep track of their Time! It's totally fine if Agents are misaligned in total Time spent.
Hey, just bought the core book and the vault missions, might be a silly question but as GM should I read the playwalled content? Or is it meant to be a suprise to me as well as the players?
You can read to whatever level makes you feel comfortable -- If you want the most to work with, I usually recommend GMs read through the Work/Life Balance paths to have an idea where the game is headed! It's fun to let players surprise you with their abilities, though.
We're working on getting our European fulfillment partners set up on our website for now, but: after physical release this year, we'll be distributed in European retail (and online) with Modiphius, and we're also currently working with an Italian translator for a version published in Italy!
The book itself is so immersed in the game world, you can tell its just oozing with love for the project and for gaming as a whole! Liminal horror is one of my favorite genres, and y'all really nail it. The terms and conditions bit at the beginning of the book was a beautiful touch, along with all the other little flavorful bells and whistles. Can't wait to start playing!! Congrats to the whole team :)
I am sure it's possible! Manipulating PDFs without removing features and reducing art quality is not something I know a lot about yet, but now that the game is in people's hands we have a long checklist of stuff like this to research and improve! Thanks for asking!
I've seen some folks just do a 'digital' version that has lower quality art just to make it run better on phones and low power tablets, so you might not have to worr about making one high quality and also small file size book.
Absolutely incredible book. This is a labor of love from the entire design team, and it shows in how much care was put into every aspect of the visuals and writing. One of the most interesting and ambitious games I've seen in a while, and one of the few that's making me want to play a full campaign again. At twice the price, it would still be a bargain.
One of the best TTRPG book I've ever read, really amazing art, layout, design and jokes. So fun and interesting to read, really thank you for all that work <3
The game just jumped to the very top of my "To play" list now :D

Is it possible to get all the kickstarter stretch goals in the PDF as well, or is that already included?

Oh sorry yes the art! Thank you so much!

Awesome! I totally get having a lot on the to-do list and know you have a lot you’re doing with this game at the moment. Thanks for replying!
How well does the Playwall system work if I'll most likely be running a bunch of shorter games. More than likely with new characters/players everytime

I would love to purchase this, but I'm holding off until I can get it in an offset print; 300 pages is too much for a mere PDF to contain!
If you're looking for a physical copy, you can preorder one here: http://preorder.hauntedtable.games/ and it comes with the same digital files!

I backed this on Kickstarter and I'm EXCITED to get playing it.
I have to ask, though, is it possible to get a compressed version of the digital book? 140MB isn't unreasonably huge, but it is very lorge.
I am sure it's possible! Manipulating PDFs without removing features and reducing art quality is not something I know a lot about yet, but now that the game is in people's hands we have a long checklist of stuff like this to research and improve! Thanks for asking!
Got it down to about 1/3 the size last night! Hope this works better for you!
Much better! Thank you very much!

Big congrats on the release, Haunted Table team!
Thanks so much!
Tremendous work on the layout and the modular/unlockable content. Not only is this game a ton of fun, its good ideas will inspire many more!
I hope so!! We are in an era of such fast iteration and innovation in ttrpgs. I hope we can inspire some people to make their games weirder!
