We are currently estimating that it will be ready to launch on Wednesday or Thursday of this upcoming week (April 17th or 18th). And as we noted in the last update we will be adding to the stretch goals based on Add-Ons and Late-Backer Pledges to give you even more value if you are one who backed the Kickstarter.
If you haven't backed but would still like to, this will be a great opportunity to do so. Please keep your eye out for the BackerKit Opening Announcement.
That's it for this update. Hope to see you tomorrow on Goo Morning.

Halloooo Friends!!
This is an important update. Please take a few minutes to review it.
And thank you ALL for making Gyzaengaxx so successful!!
=====
In this update:
=====
How do you get the Gooey Haul? And if you DIDN'T pre-register... how to get it NOW!! (You want to do this!).
=====
Pledge Manager Status. We're working diligently. We should distribute surveys next week. AMAZING Add-On deals that will count towards more stretch goals!!
=====
Kickstarter Phase 2 is about to begin. MORE stretch goal opportunities for YOU!! And an exclusive referral program to get a most rare and special collectible!!
=====
Missed the Kickstarter? Late Pledge Options are soon to become available. And these will ADD to the stretch goals for all!!
=====
Cheers and greetings to each of you!!
Once again, thank you to those of you who backed the Kickstarter. Your support is so appreciated and we hope that the incredible value you received by being a part of it is very gratifying and brings you much happiness. Between the stretch goals, the limited edition products, and (we promise) the effort, quality, and care that will go into all of these materials, we truly believe you will be quite pleased with your decision to back.
Get the Gooey Haul
BUT... we also want to make sure all the backers also get the Gooey Haul. So if you backed and you have not yet done so, please go to the registration page and complete the little form there. That is the only way for you to get the Gooey Haul digital materials. The Gooey Haul is, effectively, an extra stretch goal for backing. Depending on what level you backed at, it could mean considerable extra value!
As to "redeeming" the Gooey Haul, that will come soon. Please know that some of the materials are not fully complete and we need to finish those. We also need to know who is opting in to get physical versions of the haul which will happen in the Pledge Manager. You will be sent a code to redeem the digitals when that is complete... likely in the next two to three weeks or so.
Backing at the Adventure & Campaign Level or above qualifies you for all this extra digital loot!!
=====
Pledge Manager Status
We are working diligently on getting the pledge manager and backer surveys and hope to have this all completed by next week. We are, as was noted above, going to continue to add to the stretch goals based on the Add-Ons that backers purchase as part of final surveys... AND... we are also going to count any late pledges towards those stretch goals as well.
We very much want to get to at least $700k in total funding to finish the Crovenloft tales and then... (and we think we can do this) we REALLY want to get to $800k in total funding and add the sequel to "A Trouble with Rats"... co-authored by Ed Greenwood. Plus there will be a few "interim stretch goals" in there as well as we progress.
And we can't wait to show you what's in store if we hit $900k!! And beyond that what we have for you at $1 million!!
=====
Kickstarter Phase 2 is Coming....
Refer a Friend for something truly special!!
Most Kickstarters do not do this but we really want to show our appreciation for our backers. And we want to push the funding level higher to get you more stretch goals and help us add to the overall Gyzaengaxx tales. Thus, as noted above, we are going to count Add-On purchases towards the next levels of stretch goals. And we will also count any late pledges in those totals as well.
To keep track of this, we will have a special web page available to you on the Gooey Cube Web Site. This will be provided at the same time as the Pledge Manager opens next week. There you will be able to see all the additional stretch goals and we will keep you appraised of the running total of incremental pledges and Add-Ons on a daily basis. So watch your emails and these updates for that link.
But more than this... we are introducing an exclusive referral program. One where you can get the special collectible we are producing for this project at a substantial discount... or even for FREE.
The Art & Secrets of Gyzaengaxx will be a marvelous oversized "coffee-table book" that will contain many beautiful art pieces from the Gyzaengaxx tales. But beyond this the tome will also bring much lore and legend from the earlier days of this marvelous game we all love. There will be "nods" and "Easter Eggs" and other such wonderful little bits of information from Luke and Alphinius along with "inside information" on Gyzaengaxx that will only be available in this book.
The Art & Secrets of Gyzaengaxx will also be autographed by Luke and Alphinius and will be offered in very limited quantities.
This marvelous art-tome is a $100 value with the autographs by Luke and Alphinius, but given that it will be produced in a very small quantity, the true value is likely much more than that for those who (like we do) love to collect such things.
Now, because you backed us, you will be able to purchase one of these marvelous tomes with the autographs as an Add-On with a significant discount depending on what level you backed at. But there is a way to get this wonderful collectible for free. Simply refer a friend who will back us during Phase 2 of the Kickstarter. That's it. And you can get this amazing collectible at no cost!!
The marvelous Art & Secrets of Gyzaengaxx will be a treasured collectible you will love!!
=====
Please know that the person you refer must back at the Adventure & Campaign level or above for you to receive the tome for free. If they back at the Adventure level only or the Campaign level only, there will be a modest charge of $20 plus shipping for you to receive the tome.
We will soon put up a Gyzaengaxx Refer-A-Friend page that is designed to track those who late pledge based on your recommendation to make sure you get credit for their backing.
BUT...
They MUST go to that Refer-A-Friend page either before or after they pledge and fill out the form... AND... this is most important... be sure to put in your first and last name, and email address, in the "Referrer" fields. If they don't do this, you won't get credit for the referral.
Watch for our upcoming emails and updates that will announce the opening of the Pledge Manager and the launching of the Refer-A-Friend page.
Onward to More Adventure!!
So please keep your eye on the updates and emails from us. Kickstarter Phase 2 will only be active for a relatively short period of time and, after that, the limited edition materials will no longer be available.
Thank you once more. Let's push this last phase and get you even more value. We so appreciate your backing and support.

"That's strange... did you hear that, darling"
The couple paused in their nightly stroll on the outskirts of Etholmm, and the woman, of Elvish and Human heritage, cocked her head. Just as she did so a silent dart flew forth from the bushes nearby striking the man in the neck.
He slumped to the ground almost immediately.
The woman pulled forth the dagger from her hip and took up a defensive stance... facing the direction from which came the dart. But it would be to no avail. A second dart flew striking her in the shoulder.
As she fell to the ground, nearing unconsciousness, she saw two misshapen, grotesque figures stinking of death and rot emerged from the foliage. One of them spoke in a whisper...
"Yesss... our lady will be pleasssed... two fine specimines.....
=====
Etholmm. A quiet village, every day like the one before. But all that is soon change. And it will not be for the better. No, it will not be....
=====
Hail friends!!
Indeed we are excited for the work to come to craft this most magical environs and the associated amazing adventures. The value is incredible and the materials will be stellar.
We are still awaiting Kickstarter to release funds (typically around seven or so business days after the Kickstarter ends). And there are, as always, more than a few who are pending due to using the wrong credit card (or the right one that just had too much on it at the time... we've been there).
But if you could... please do fund your pledge if you have not yet done so, that will help us a lot as we go forward over the next week or so.
Also, we mentioned this in the last update but we would be most pleased if you would join us tomorrow (Saturday) on Goo Morning Zyathé at 10am MT (9am PT, 11am CT, noon ET) where we'll be talking all things Gary Con... the Kickstarter... Con Crud... do a marvelous giveaway... and more!! Here is the link:
The Last of our Recommended Kickstarters. A fabulous crowdfund!!

Our friends over at World of Game Design recently acquired the ZWEIHANDER RPG and are neck deep in a Kickstarter of their own!
If you aren't familiar with these guys, they've been longtime friends all things Gooey; heck, one of their lead guys (Zac Goins) even helped us write our Wy'rded Magicks book, and they've been publishing their own 5e OGL content for years. Luke also loves this project and really wanted to do this shout out.
ZWEIHANDER is a game of gallows humor, social intrigue, investigative mystery, occult magic, and ancient vendettas meted out with blackpowder, sorcery, and steel.
It’s a storytelling tabletop RPG (similar to D&D) but set in a medieval dark fantasy world and using a d100 gaming engine similar to Call of Cthulhu.
We'd love it if you'd go have a look (they also helped us promote The Tomb of Gyzaengaxx), and tell them Luke and Alphinius sent you!
Add-Ons (many more than in the original Kickstarter)...
The potential to still get the Death in Crovenloft adventure... YESSS!!!
We could even get the sequel to A Trouble with Rats.
Plus the enigmatic "secret code" adventure.
And likely even more!!
There is so much more to come over the few couple of weeks, friends. We had such fun with this Kickstarter and we expect that the "after activities" will be just as fun.
So please watch the updates.
And always remember... danger lurks in the shadows.....

Apologies for the somewhat tardy update. The wizard got the con crud!! It must have been the SLIME!!!

Indeed friends, that was quite an amazing finish. But we are not yet done!! Indeed not!!
Coming up the next 10 Business Days we will open up the Backer Kit with many new and exciting add-ons to add to the total.
And Luke and I have decided that we will keep the Death in Crovenloft as a stretch goal "after the fact"... so we can still get it at $700k raised!
AND... if we can get to $800k we will bring a sequel to "A Trouble with Rats".... YES we will!!
Body by Gygaxx Challenge is AMAZING!!
Also... what about those secret codes?
=====
=====
Hello friends!!
This will not be a long update but we do want to inform you of some key things that will be coming. First, barring some unforeseen circumstance, the BackKit Pledge Manager will open in about 10 business days from the writing of this update.
There will be many wonderful things in there from both GaxxWorx and Gooey and you will have the opportunity to get some discounted pricing on those materials because of your backing of the Kickstarter.
But there is more. We are going to keep track of the add-on totals and, when the add-ons surpass $700k (we think they will) we will produce Death in Crovenloft
Beyond THIS, however, we are also going to produce a sequel to "A Trouble with Rats" if we can surpass $800k.
We will be doing a short term "late pledge" option also so that may help us significantly as many have written us asking for a late pledge option. This is also a perfect chance for you to tell a friend and help us add to the haul. As many of you know, Ed Greenwood is going to co-author this with us and we are so excited to craft it with him. Now let us see if we can get a sequel!!
=====
Body By Gygax Challenge on Facebook!! Check it out!!
If you're looking to get into a little better shape, The Body By Gygaxx Challenge on Facebook is amazing. Many people are taking advantage of this program to add a bit to their health and well-being. We would encourage you to waltz on over there and get your Gygax Body on!!
HaHA!! Indeed friends... keep your eyes on this update starting next week as we play a little game that you will very much enjoy.
And don't worry if your a bit behind on the tale... we'll catch you up.
=====
Lastly... Join us for Goo Morning Zyathé on Saturday morning!!
Goo Morning Zyathé is our weekly live stream where we do all manner of interesting, strange, fun, and fearful things. This Saturday (10am MT), we will have a number of items for discussion including a little celebration for the Kickstarter's wonderful success.
So come and join us at 10am MT (9am PT, 11am CT, and noon ET) on our twich channel. It will be very fun. With likely many shenanigans being played....
