We love any feedback or questions you have about the classes or campaign setting.

Hello Survivors!
Okay, so normally we like to give you a heads-up before we make any changes to the Kickstarter campaign. This time around we wanted to make it a surprise.
We have officially unlocked the $13k stretch goal level, congratulations! We are committed to bringing you as much content as possible for this Apocalypse the Risen Campaign. We promised you two weeks ago that we would work hard to make that true and we've just posted an updated stretch goals list to prove that point.
Instead of the Scavenge Map unlock, you now receive that plus the Adventure Hooks Journal Entry and Adventure 1! You will also find that all of the stretch goals leading up to $20k have been compressed, providing even more content at each $1k level we hit.
With this update comes an extended request. Share this campaign with your friends and fellow gamers. Blast us out on the daily on social media. Post and comment about the campaign on your favorite gaming message boards/pages. We know the product we are going to deliver will be high quality and lots of fun. The more of your gaming network that joins this campaign, the more incredible the game we deliver.
We're pretty sure you'll like this update and we couldn't be more happy with it either. Also watch for the next update which will include the complete class build for the Maverick. We will release both the 5E and PF builds so you can compare.
Keep building the Rusted Portal Colony!

Build Your Colony Add-On!

Hello faithful backers!
Over the last week we have been brainstorming additional ways to let our backers help build the AtR community and game. This campaign setting is centered around a starting colony. We have designed a colony creation system (pick or roll) that allows GMs to design this intrinsic starting point for any campaign. We imagine these home colonies being the center for adventure for most groups.
So for our backers only, we will be including an Add-On that allows you to work with us to design a colony that is included in the campaign setting. Colonies will be included within the region section notes. Anyone selecting this add-on will receive a set of questions in your survey post-Kickstarter. The survey will include key questions to properly categorize your colony design with our system as well as offer an open text section to express the flavor of the colony. We will write up the colony and contact you for final touches. We expect about five colonies per page.
Your colony, home campaign or antagonist group, will be added to Apocalypse the Risen canon from launch! You will also be included in a special colony credits section.
We plan to include this add-on for $50 and wanted to get your feedback before putting it up on the board. Let's keep building a community of Survivors!
Sincerely,
Donaven - Rusted Portal Games
Upcoming Goal: Scavenge Map (1)

Greetings Backers!
With 21 days remaining we have exceeded the number of backers from our first campaign, funded, and unlocked 8 total stretch goals. Great work!
So congrats on unlocking five more Truth Transmission recordings (6 total) and the first Journal Entry! We will continue working to build on this success. Apologies on the social media graphic, we'll have that updated ASAP. Also, if you didn't notice, we did sneak in a new graphic for a sample spread of the Maverick class.
Maverick Sample Spread
Scavenge Map 1 ($13,000): We are really excited to begin unlocking some Scavenge Maps. We have played with maps at our table in playtests and they just add another level of immersion.
Scavenge Maps will be provided in full color PDF, designed to set the scene for an encounter in a game of your design or with unlocked adventures. PDFs will be provided in printer friend and full bleed versions. The next stretch goal opens a four page map (~100'x80' in game).
You may have seen the warehouse Scavenge Map for the What's Cooking? adventure. If not, I have included a snapshot below. The stretch goal versions provide even more detail and opportunity for scavenge.
Upcoming Goal: Journal Entry!

Hello Backers!
Congrats and great job continuing to build this campaign. You have unlocked the Templates Galore stretch goal and we're just a few hundred from unlocking the next goal. As a teaser, check out the art below from stellar artist Raven Mimura. Raven will be illustrating all 9 of our class iconics. I even hear we'll have a special interview with him as we release art for another of the iconics.
Adventure Level: The Journal of Dr. Dobrin is a collection of entries from his travels, adventure hooks, world notes, overall game lore, and story ideas for playing in AtR. This next stretch goal adds entries for the Maverick, Jackal, and Splicer iconics.
Note that the Antiquity backer level will receive iconic build sheets with every detail for these awesome iconics!
Ruby - Progeny Splicer
Gideon - Human Maverick
Finder - Human Jackal (Finder Path)
Class Iconics: Splicer, Maverick, Jackal
Keep the signal boosts going and spread the word. We have a full 22 days remaining!
