Playtests, Two More Stretch Goals Achieved, and More on the Horizon!
about 1 year ago – Thu, Mar 27, 2025 at 07:41:38 AM

Wow! We still have a week left, and we're over 550% funded! I cannot thank you all enough for your support that you've shown Wayfinder I'm truly humbled, and I'm so excited to get this printed and in your hands!

I have some wonderful news!

Gary Con Playtests

Gary Con was this past weekend, and for the first time EVER Wayfinder and Quill were out in the wild, having it's early iterations tested and gamed! We got some amazing feedback from our GMs and players, and we're working hard to make alterations and improve on the core functionality of the game systems!

Thank you all who joined us at Gary Con! Here's some photos of the maps that people made while journeying through The Vast!


Future Playtests

One key takeaway from these playtests is that I still would like some more feedback from you all before we hit that big red print button! I would like to invite anyone who is apart of this campaign to playtest Wayfinder after the campaign ends. I will be sending out invites to participate in helping make Wayfinder into the best exploration RPG out there! Stay tuned for more information.

Stretch Goals!!

We're nearing our final stretch goal that we've announced so far, so I wanted to unveil one more on the horizon! Say hello to the Wayfinder Scribe Screen! This 8.5x11 quad-fold GM screen is designed specifically with Wayfinder in mind. Complete with Tables, map-making tips, encounter rules, and more!



Once again, thank you all so much for your continued support, and if we can smash these next few goals, I have something truly special in mind next :)

Third Stretch Goal Achieved! Thank you!

Wow! Thank you so much everyone for your continued support. It truly means a lot to see us crash through these goals. We're 4 days in, and not only are we over 450% funded, but we're now 60% through our initial stretch goals! Great things are ahead for Wayfinder.

New Stretch Goal

Due to the massive success of this campaign, which is far more than I expected, I will be adding an additional stretch goal to the book! If we achieve it, I will be writing a new section of the book that adds a solo mode to the game, allowing a player to explore the Vasts entirely by themself!

Art Reveal!

I wanted to share some art with you all to help hold you over until the next update. Hopefully it will give you a taste of some of the colorful characters that inhabit The Vast.

This is some in-line art that will appear in the book, done by the wonderful Motolog. Check them out here: https://motolog1.artstation.com/



Thank you again, and on to the next goal!
