 Hi friends,

Can you believe it? It’s the end of the BLACKBIRDS RPG Kickstarter! Although we have come to the end of the road, we would like to usher out one more thank you to everyone who has supported us these past 30 days. Thank you all for helping us bring our vision for BLACKBIRDS RPG to life. We had high hopes for this Kickstarter, and they were followed by an even greater turnout—one that we could not have imagined.

We would like to thank our wonderful partners for all the breathtaking items they have crafted for this campaign as well. Huge shout-out to DEATH SAVES, Norse Foundry, Dog Might Games, and Campaign Coins!

We end our Kickstarter on a superbly high note—with over $154,000 in support and more than 1,450 backers, we are humbled by the amount of people who believe in BLACKBIRDS RPG. We hope to hear about your invigorating adventures, epic quests, and simply the fun you have with your teammates in the future!

We’ll be back with next steps for all backers next week. And be sure to keep an eye out for future news on all things BLACKBIRDS RPG!

 Release: Highsalt maps! 

We are excited to announce that the map of Highsalt is now available as a brand-new Add-on! This intricately detailed map has been wondrously crafted in color and on high-quality canvas to reflect the magnificent landscape you’ll soon adventure in. Created by master artist Francesca Baerald, it will be a stunning visual centerpiece for all your adventures.

But that’s not all! As we approach the end of our campaign, we want to continue to show our backers how much we appreciate your commitment and support for us.

Super-Sized Canvas Maps

In appreciation of your engagement throughout our campaign, we are upgrading all canvas map sizes to 33” x 25.5” at no additional cost to you! From the bottom of our hearts, we are grateful to have such a supportive flock of backers. We take time to listen to all of your comments, and we hope this upgrade, exclusive to Kickstarter backers, will hit a sweet spot for you.
