Latest Updates from Our Project:

Important Gyzaengaxx Update: Please Review as soon as you can. And thank you once again for your support!!
27 days ago – Mon, May 20, 2024 at 03:20:42 PM

Important: Please review below for important info on the Gyzaengaxx Kickstarter. The key things are summarized here:

==> OSE Version Opt In: If you want the OSE version of the materials it is very important that you select that in the BackerKit. If you have not done so, you will receive the 5e materials. Please go to your BackerKit survey and make sure you have selected this. 

==> Also, if you want the 5e version, DO NOT select the OSE Opt-In in BackerKit or you will get the OSE version.

==> NOTE: If you have not yet completed your Backer Survey, please do so soon. We have about 20% of Backers who still need to complete. See below for some good info on the BackerKit Pledge Manager and some things you need to know. 

==> Late Backers can still get the limited edition materials but this is the last chance to get them. Plus Late Backers get ALL the stretch goals as well if you back now. Please consider late-backing Gyzaengaxx if you haven't done so yet.

==> Lastly, please take a look at the many wonderful add-ons that are being offered at good discounts. Plus... during the Late Backer Period, add-ons count towards additional stretch goals. And we've already unlocked three new tiers!!

Hello friends!

We're pleased to give you this important update for you on the Gyzaengaxx Kickstarter. Please do check this one carefully as there are some things you do need to make sure you've done properly to get the correct materials.

OSE Version Opt-In: Make sure you get the version you want!

First, please be sure, if you want the OSE version of Gyzaengaxx and NOT the 5e version that you have selected the OSE Opt-In as part of your BackerKit Survey. If you do not select this, you will get the 5e version. Likewise, if you want the 5e version DO NOT select the OSE Opt-In as part of your survey. The OSE Opt-In is provided In the Add-On section (the first one shown) and makes it easy for you to choose the OSE version. An image of the Opt-In is shown below:

If you want the OSE version of the Gyzaengaxx materials and NOT the 5e version, you need to make sure you've selected this Opt-In as part of your Backer Survey. Likewise, if you want the 5e version DO NOT select this option. The Opt-In for the OSE version is provided for in the Add-Ons section and is the first option shown.

Three new Stretch Goal tiers already unlocked in Late Backer period!

 Next... you'll be excited to know if you're a backer that the Late Backer period is going great! We already have three new stretch goal tiers unlocked. And we're already almost half way to unlocking the next tier. Plus, we have around 20% of our Backers who still need to complete their Backer Surveys. This should add significantly to the total and likely unlock at least the next Stretch Goal tier. 

Beyond this, we have more tiers to unlock as we try for our goal of $800k which will unlock the SECOND adventure we're doing with Ed Greenwood which will be the sequel to "A Trouble with Rats"... a first level adventure that Ed will be helping with that is already part of the stretch goal haul.

And friends... we are confident we can absolutely get there... please tell some friends about the Late Backer program. They can look at all they get in terms of the products and stretch goals on our Gooey Cube web site:

GooeyCube.com/back

Then, to Late-Back the Gyzaengaxx Kickstarter, they would go here:

Below is the preliminary cover for the 1st Level Gyzaengaxx adventure, A Trouble with Rats that is already unlocked!! 

A Trouble with Rats is the fearful and fabulous 1st level adventure that will be authored by Ed Greenwood, Luke Gygax, and Alphinius Goo. It's a stretch goal that is already unlocked. AND... if we break the $800K level during this Late Backer period, we'll do a sequel that will be authored by Ed, Luke, and Alphinius as well. And we're well on the way!!

=====

Backers... please complete your surveys! And check out some of the great add-ons we have at good discounts!

Friends... if you haven't yet completed your BackerKit survey in the Pledge Manager please consider doing so soon. As noted above, we still have about 20% of our folks who need to complete it.

AMAZING Add-Ons at great values!

Finally, friends... we do believe that one of the reasons we are getting such good participation with our add-ons is due to the value that you get by adding on. The discounts are good across the board with a couple that are truly amazing. Check out just a couple below:

SUPER discount on the Stretch Goal Print Package

The Stretch Goals in Gyzaengaxx are provided free in digital format for backers. But many would like to get these in their physical form as well. The Print Package lets you do that at a HUGE discount. You'll get all the materials below (and more as we add Stretch Goals)... over $430 in value... for just $160!! This is already one of our most popular add-ons.

The Print Package lets you get all the Stretch Goals in physical form at a massive discount. Over $430 in value for just $160!! And that includes any of the additional Stretch Goals we add during the Late Backer period. Note that some items may be combined into a single piece depending on subject matter. 

=====

A GREAT value on the printed Gyzaengaxx minis from Harry's Minis!

For just $70 you get all the minis from the Gyzaengaxx tale that have been sculpted by Harry. And they are marvelous. Plus this is almost half price for each miniature!! 

 =====

And one more that is simply amazing!!

You can save $100 on this is the beautifully-crafted, wood Gyzaengaxx GM Screen crafted by our friends at Strange Fate Crafts. Each specially numbered and they are very limited in number. Truly... this is a most wonderful thing to have grace your game room. 

 ====

That's it for this update. Thank you truly for all your support that has made this Kickstarter so successful. And made the stretch goal value so significant. Truly it is because of you that the value is so great!!

Cheers!!

A marvelous little peek at the first drafting of the map of the Village of Etholmm!! And we have passed the $700k mark so more stretch goals will be added. Please consider late backing as the value and the tales will be incredible!!
about 1 month ago – Fri, May 10, 2024 at 04:16:07 PM

Just a quick update to show you the beginnings of the Gyzaengaxx materials. The first draft of the Village of Etholmm map!! 

And we have surpassed $700k now and will be adding more stretch goals to the haul. Please consider late backing as this is your last chance to get the special Limited Edition materials.

[Late Pledge for Gyzaengaxx]

Plus join us for Goo Morning Zyathé tomorrow (Saturday) morning at 10am MT for a Kickstarter update, give-aways, and much more!! It's our totally fun livestream that's all kinds of fun. For a low-budget production, that is. And we'll have Todd Michael Putnam on from Creative Adventure Tables showing off the terrain of the Underdelve!! Marvelous indeed!!

Check out Goo Morning Zyathé

 =====

Hail friends!! 

We are excited to tell you that we have surpassed the $700k level and have added more stretch goals to the haul!! And we will soon reveal the stretch goal additions for $725k and $750k. They will be marvelous, indeed. This we promise!! Plus, as most of you know... if we hit $800k during this late back period, we will produce the sequel to "A Trouble with Rats" with the marvelous Ed Greenwood!! Please do help us get there!!

=====

You should know that about 25% of our backers yet to complete their Backerkit survey. This is a very good sign for the growth of the backing as many folks are doing add-ons when they finish their surveys to add to the totals (we have lots of marvelous items at good discounts). Plus we are also getting quite a good number of late backers as well. So we can likely get there... especially if you take a bit of time to tell a friend or two.

And remind them that this is the last chance to get the limited edition items which will be very rare and, we believe, very collectible!!

The Gyzaengaxx Stuffs will be AWESOME!!

We can't tell you how truly stoked we are at the beginnings of the production. Below is the second round draft of the Village of Etholmm map. It has all kinds of marvelous little "things" for you to bring to your campaign. Much of these will be provided for in the campaign box set but there will also be others for you to add your own adventures to the tales. This map is being done by Edvard who does all our maps and it is coming together famously!!

Note that this is still in draft form with many details to add and much fun still to come in the crafting of the map. But already you can see how fabulous it is!!

=====

Below is the image of Etholmm Village as seen from the hut of Rajoo the Druid (see what we did there??)... who is one of the marvelous characters your players will meet in the village. The art and maps are going to be SO good!!

=====

That's it for this update. If you have not completed your Backerkit survey, please do so soon as it will help us to know where we stand with the new stretch goals!! You should have received an email from Backerkit with how to do that. If you have not, please send us an email:

[email protected]

We'll dig into it and figure out why you haven't received it. Please also check your spam folder as sometimes emails from Backerkit go there. We've had that happen.

Thank you once again for your support of this fabulous and very special project. We have so much to tell you and show you as we develop all the materials.

Cheers!!

-- Luke, Alphinius, and the Gooey-Gaxxy Team

Hello friends!

First... we must thank you once more for your support of the Gyzaengaxx Kickstarter. Each of you helped make this amazing project a reality and we are so pleased that the success meant much extra Stretch Goal value for YOU!! 

Now, phase 2 is about to begin with the opportunity for you to add to your stretch goal haul. It’s very exciting and we can’t wait to start. Here’s how it will work:

  1. All Add-Ons will be calculated just like in the Kickstarter to add to the Stretch Goal haul for all Backers…
  2. Late-Backing will also open and those pledges will also count for Stretch Goals…
  3. You can even refer friends to Late Back us and get a VERY special reward at a BIG discount for doing so.
  4. Plus, this is the last chance for anyone to get the exclusive, limited-edition versions of the Gyzaengaxx materials so there’s a great reason to refer your friends.

Please check your email mailbox for the BackerKit Pledge Manager email telling you that the Pledge Manager is open. Some of you may have gotten this earlier by the way as we did a “test send” to a small number of Backers to make sure that all is working properly in the Pledge Manager.

Here are some things you need to know about in Phase 2.

Refer a friend and get The Art & Secrets of Gyzaengaxx at 90% off!! It's a truly rare and special thing.

The Art & Secrets of Gyzaengaxx is a beautiful, over-sized “coffee-table” book that will contain many fabulous artwork from the Gyzaengaxx tales as well as all kinds of secreted lore and special information from Luke and Alphinus about the early days of gaming — as well as speaking to the many “Easter-Eggs” that are to be found in the Gyzaengaxx materials.

 It will also be autographed by Luke and Alphinius and will be made in very limited quantities to enhance the value.

This beautiful coffee-table book, autographed by Luke and Alphinius will contain wonderful artworks and much lore and secrets about the early days of gaming and of Gyzaengaxx!! It will be very rare and a most marvelous collectible.

=====

The autographed Art & Secrets of Gyzaengaxx book is a $100 value but if you refer a new backer who pledges in the Late-Backer period, you can get this truly special collectible for only $10 plus a modest shipping and handling charge. 

Note that the person you refer must back at the Campaign & Adventure level or higher for you to qualify for this special deal. And they must identify you as the person who referred them. 

Please know that this is very easy to do and only requires that the person you are referring fill out the form on the Late-Backer Page that can be found on the Gooey Cube Web Site. The link is below.

https://gooeycube.com/latepledge

This page also reprises the original Kickstarter page so your friends can see all the content and Stretch Goals as well that is a part of the crowdfund.

Late Backing and Add-Ons will add to the Stretch Goal Haul!! More Stretch Goal value for YOU!!

As part of Phase 2 of the crowdfund we are going to count all the Late Backers’ pledges and all Add-On purchases to the total from the Kickstarter to add to the Stretch Goals you’ve already gotten. We’re excited to do this and very hopeful that this demonstrates even further how much we appreciate your support of all we are doing.

You likely know we’re already at hundreds of dollars in value in the Stretch Goal haul depending on your pledge level. It’s truly fantastic and we want to give even more!

Please know that you can see some of the Stretch Goals coming on the Late Pledge page at the bottom. This is also the referral page where you can send your friends to get you credit for the referral.

At $800k we will do a sequel with Ed Greenwood to “A Trouble with Rats”... the 1st Level Gyzaengaxx adventure!!

You likely know that we already unlocked the first-level adventure to be co-authored with Ed Greenwood entitled “A Trouble with Rats” which will take place in the Gyzaengaxx environs. 

But we want to make sure you know that if we reach the $800k tier we will be doing the sequel to “A Trouble with Rats” which we will also craft with Ed Greenwood. We’re so stoked to make this and really believe we can make it to that $800k tier and beyond. Especially if we can get a good number of referrals.

So please do consider purchasing some Add-Ons (most are on great discounts) and referring a friend or two.

The Ed Greenwood Rirandral the Bard .stl and A Trouble with Rats were both unlocked when we hit the $600k level. Now we hope to do the sequel with Ed as well!!

Join us for our Goo Morning Zyathé Livestream tomorrow (Saturday) morning for all kinds of gooey madness!!

Goo Morning Zyathé is our totally fun livestream and tomorrow we will begin our Zyathé tour, do some give-aways, have some shenanigans, and give some further information about the Pledge Manager. Please do join us:

PS… for those who can’t refer a friend but would like to get the exclusive, highly-collectible, (and autographed) Art & Secrets of Gyzaengaxx coffee-table book… you can also, depending on your backer level, purchase this very special item at a significantly discounted price. This option will be made available to you in the Backerkit Pledge Manager in the Add-Ons section.
