Stretch Goal #6 Achieved, #7 Announced
about 2 years ago – Sat, Apr 16, 2022 at 09:26:48 PM

Hello Backers,

Thank you all so much for helping us surpass our sixth stretch goal in the first 10 days! We’re so excited that we can add so much to the book. We’ve officially unlocked Fey Encounters, which will see more extra special roleplay, puzzle, and battle-based Plants.

Our next stretch goal is another super exciting one, Plant Creatures! It’s exactly what you think, a selection of never-seen-before floral and fungal monsters that you can throw into the mix of a battle or natural encounter to bring something new and make it memorable. We had a lot of fun drafting these. You’ve already seen the Trap Hydra in the video, but here’s another sneak peek at one of the creatures coming to The Herbal Journal in the next goal.

Thanks again for all your support; don’t forget to share The Herbal Journal page with your friends and we’ll see you at the next unlock!

Stretch Goal #4 and #5 Achieved - Stretch Goal #6 Announced
about 2 years ago – Sat, Apr 16, 2022 at 09:26:10 PM

Hello Everyone,

We’re almost at the end of our first week and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that has helped us achieve our goal. Not only have we just surpassed 500% funded, but we’ve also achieved an exciting stretch goal – the Class unlock of The Botanist!

As a thank you, we wanted to share an excerpt from the Botanist Class with you:

“Botanists represent the merging of science and magic in the natural world. Through travelling and studying they have gained an acute knowledge of the Plant Kingdom, tapping into its very essence - reusing and reshaping it to their will. Botanist are orientated towards the alchemical and supernatural use of plants, but their specialities allow many different forms of application.”

The subclasses of a Botanist are known as Botanical Branches, two of which are the grenade-wielding Phytochemists and the poison-brewing Toxicologists.

Our next stretch goal is Fey Encounters, which will add unique and obscure Plants which have their own mechanics, side quests and longer-form interactions!

Thanks again for all your support; don’t forget to share The Herbal Journal page with your friends and we’ll see you at the next unlock!

Stretch Goal #3 Achieved, Stretch Goal #4 Announced
about 2 years ago – Sat, Apr 16, 2022 at 09:25:18 PM

Hello Backers,

We’ve had a phenomenal second day with another stretch goal achieved. Thank you all so much!

Stretch Goal #2 and #3
Not only did we achieve our second stretch goal, dedicated to Cacti and Arid Plants, we smashed through stretch goal #3 before we could even announce it – Mushrooms! Achieving this goal means mushrooms will be added to the book in different biomes like Forests, and the Underdark!

Stretch Goal #4
Our next stretch goal is an exciting one, Carnivorous Plants! This is an interesting hybrid class of plants that we’re super keen to see and hear about in your games; not quite full monsters, but still determined to eat you, these carnivorous plants can be both a battle encounter that makes you role initiative, or an environmental hazard that requires some real roleplaying to overcome!

Here’s a sneak peek at the development stage of one of our Carnivorous Plants!

Thanks again for all your support; don’t forget to share The Herbal Journal page with your friends and we’ll see you at the next unlock!

Hello Backers,

Thank you all so much for helping us get 100% in the first 12 hours! This is our most ambitious project yet and we’re so grateful to have you onboard!

Stretch Goal #1
Now that we’re fully funded, we’re pleased to say that we’ve already hit the target for our first stretch goal - more Aquatic Plants! Our first stretch goal was £4000, which we hit overnight, it will see more rare and obscure Underwater additions to the book - helping you build better aquatic environments and underwater biomes!

Stretch Goal #2
Our second stretch goal is £5500, which will take us to the desert, a difficult environment to bring to life in a DnD game. At this stretch goal we’ll be adding more Cacti and Arid Plants to the book to help you bring your desert adventures into bloom!

Previous Project Add-ons

We’re also pleased to announce that, now that The Herbal Journal is fully funded, we’ve released our previous Kickstarter projects as ‘Add-ons’. If you missed PlotCards or Magnum’s Tome of Unshackled Spells the first-time round, then you can now add physical or digital copies of them to your order of The Herbal Journal! As a thank you for helping us achieve our goal so quickly, we’re also releasing these Add-ons at a special discounted rate with no extra shipping for physical copies!
