72 hours into Ryoko's Guide and, like Smash Mouth predicted, the Stretch Goals start coming and they don't stop coming! We've unlocked some amazing things, but first...
Unboxing Ryoko's Guide!
We did an unboxing of all of Ryoko's pre-production samples so you can see how beautiful everything is in real life, and how far along we are with it all! These are pre-production samples, so some small things might change, like the Core and Deluxe boxes being made bigger to fit all the awesome stuff inside it! Also keep your eyes peeled for a cameo from my dog!
A New Race Emerges: The Ryōkido
Early this morning we passed $1,250,000 which means there's a whole new race added to the book: The Ryōkido, inspired by the lion turtle. These telepathic humanoids come packing an enormous shell which boosts your AC and can provide protection if you fall (useful insurance when scaling kaiju!), along with abilities that make them excellent grapplers and unarmed warriors. If you were looking for a new character race to pair beautifully with the new Element Bender class, this could make for a synergistic combination!
A New Subclass: The Sensei Tamer (And the Tamer in Ryoko's Guide)
We also unlocked a new subclass: The Sensei for the Monster Tamer class, first introduced in Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting. A lot of people have asked if they'll be able to play this without owning Heliana's, and you 100% can! The core Tamer class, along with this subclass, will appear in full in Ryoko's Guide, giving you everything you need in one place to train your adorable companions in the art of kicking butt!
We've got more dope stretch goals incoming, adding tons of value across the board! The next SG to unlock is digital tokens for all the creatures in Ryoko's Guide, that will be added to everyone who pledged at the $30 PDF tier and above, completely for free! We'll put up an announcement when we hit the next big milestone, most likely early next week.
If you've any questions, you can submit them in the comments to this update, the project updates, or, even better, on the #ryokos-guide-questions channel of the Loot Tavern Discord Server.
You guys are amazing,
Will (and the team)
