Cryptid Creeks

Surveys and Progress
11 months ago – Wed, Nov 29, 2023 at 12:43:40 AM

Dear backers,

Sorry for delay on the update, we are in contact with our distributors to work out shipping and fulfilment rates before we send your surveys out. We’re pushing to have a quickstart version of the game to you in the New Year and will be contacting our top backers with their concepts for Eeries next week. Here’s the latest scoutbook design by Lucille.

Best wishes,

Team Hatchlings 

Final Stretch Goal!
about 1 year ago – Wed, Oct 04, 2023 at 06:10:24 AM

Dear backers,

This morning we managed to unlock our final stretch goal and add Crowva to the art team. This feels very much like the last ingredient needed to make Creeks the best RPG it can be. The week following the Kickstarter, we’ll be working with BackerKit to get your surveys ready. If you have used an AppleID email when pledging on Creeks, could you please provide an alternative. BackerKit will struggle to send you a survey otherwise.

Best wishes,

Team Hatchlings 

Thanks and to the Final Stretch Goal!

Dear backers,

Just want to say another big thank you for all the support on this project. We might just reach our final stretch goal and complete our art team. If we don't manage this, we'll at least have Crowva complete an illustration for the podcast series.

On of our fellow UK publishers, Giles Penfold has been a constant sounding board for us and they have recently launched their own Kickstarter. We thought we'd share their epic project today.

'The Vynestra Collection is a love letter to both Venice and ancient Rome, featuring a high fantasy blend with classical culture over five gorgeously illustrated books for DnD 5th Edition. There are 1,000 pages of fresh new content such as a 600+ location city setting of Deveros with hundreds of diverse NPCs, events, plot hooks, adventures, encounters, spells, monsters, rulesets, and so much more! Walk the path of the gods with Vynestra's Ember system, taking on immense divine powers that you can use to crush your foes and bolster your allies, before eventually ascending as a demigod. Embers allow players and NPCs alike to be customised far beyond the breadth of RAW 5th Edition, granting a plethora of options to explore and flourish with. And the best part? It's all done! Vynestra is ready to ship beta PDFs to backers in the month following the campaign close with physical copies arriving early in 2024.'

Stretch Goals!
about 1 year ago – Wed, Sep 06, 2023 at 02:07:11 AM

Dear backers,

Overnight we've managed to unlock all but the final stretch goal. These include community copies, foil-stamping on the Standard Edition covers, a printed map with all hardcovers and the podcast series. Hopefully we can unlock the anthology of curses by the end of today! If we do manage to surpass £25k, we'll post additional goals asap.

Once again, thank you all for your support,

Best wishes,

Team Hatchlings

Funded!
about 1 year ago – Tue, Sep 05, 2023 at 10:54:51 AM

Dear backers,

Thank you all so much for helping us fund in under two hours! The team are delighted to be able to bring this project to life. I haven't really expressed how personal this game is to me. I spent my early teens on a boatyard while my parents attempted to make a dilapidated folkboat riverworthy. Ever since, I've wanted to express that time of life through my writing. 

After an incomplete novel (The Preservation Tapes) and buggy video game (Foxglove), I finally get to honour those years through Hatchlings Games!

We have some wonderful stretch goals to unlock, so keep spreading the word!

Best wishes,

Rich
