Latest Updates from Our Project:
Production Update #1: Surveys
almost 5 years ago
– Mon, Jul 08, 2019 at 08:32:50 PM
You should be receiving a survey from Kickstarter so we can start assembling the shipping data. We need your response by July 14 so that we can stay on track. The books are being printed right now; once the address surveys and backerkit surveys are complete we will be able to start sending out books. If everything goes well the books should go out before GenCon (August 1), but the vagaries of the shipping gods are many and their wrath is fickle.
Once you get your backerkit survey choose any add-ons and lock in your rewards. We will give details on how to do that when the survey goes out.
In other news, we had the Why Not Games 2nd anniversary cookout this weekend. Here is some of the crew, it’s a big crew and not everyone was there at the same time. Also featured is the final proof copy of Rocket Age (5e). It turned out beautiful and perfect, which means proofing did not drag on for weeks.

We are past the $9,000 stretch goal, unlocking the Rocket Ranger's Handbook (5e)! This guide to all things Rocket Rangers details the United States Rocket Rangers with mission profiles, campaign seeds, equipment, subclasses, feats, and more. Rocket Rangers, Away! All backers at the PDF and higher level will receive the Rocket Ranger's Handbook (5e) pdf. The print + pdf of the 5e version is now available as an add-on for $15, with the Classic version available as a pdf add-on for $5 and the Classic as print+ pdf for $15. All of our stretch goals will be released beginning this fall and will require separate shipping.
The next stretch goal is:
$11,000Psychic Scions of Ceres5e adventure by James Spahn in PDF
James Spahn takes us back to the Belt with Psychic Scions of Ceres! The destruction of the planet Eris left a field of tumbling rocks, but something still remains! Can our heroes survive an encounter with a danger that has slept for millennia?
And we have added a new stretch goal:
$13,000- Cloud Dancers of Jupiter(5e) adventure by Andrew Peregrine
Someone is causing havoc and destruction in the skies of Jupiter! Our heroes must find out who is behind the sabotage, blatant attacks, and kidnappings. Is it the Red Scorpion? The Nazis? The Europans? Or is a new player entering the field?
Once unlocked these adventures will go out to everyone at the pdf backer leve and above, and be added as a print add-on in 5e, and a pdf or print+pdf add on in Classic.
This is the last few hours, but if you want to increase your pledge or choose add-ons we will be running backerit surveys, but only for one week after the end of the kickstarter.
Something special arrived in the mail, our first copy of Rocket Age (5e)! Check it out!
Finally, this is a day of celebration here are Why Not Games. Not only is it our nation's Independence Day, and the conclusion of our most successful kickstarter, it is also the anniversary of the founding of Why Not Games! Two years of making the games we love with the people we love, and thanks to all of our backers and supporters we can look forward to many more years!
