that they did.
stated it out right when they added it as a stretch goal long before the numbers got up there.

Honestly if they can incorporate a lot of the stuff previously mentioned into the players guide at this 300k range I will be super stoked. Also by the end of this I am going to want to upgrade for a print map which their early design looks nice and maybe the box to hold all the stuff which would work well on my new shelves in my bedroom.

I don't know their over 300k stretch goals seem a bit underwhelming...
One Sheets may not sound all that glamorous but they are still a good stretch goal.
especially when you stop to think that there are damn few Legendary (level 16 plus to me and you) One Sheets written for any Savage Worlds settings (that includes Dea
dlands their "cash cow").
Additionally, that is potentially TEN more adventures (on top of the ones already committed) if they hit 400k.

I honestly would prefer they not go to crazy with higher stretch goals the ones they have are pretty solid. Going nuts and over doing the stretch goals is the reef many a kick starter has gotten stranded on.

I agree. I'm happy about the expanded book, I really wanted to have all that PDF stuff in a book. After that it's all extra icing on the cake. One Sheets as stretch goals is fine with me. I don't want them to get too overloaded.

Home stretch looks like we are just shy of 400k probably will breach that as last minute shuffles happen maybe a bit in excess of 400k. Good sign of how popular the rifts franchise still is after all these years.

Well it's got 11 hours left and they're at $399,756... if they don't make over $400,000 I'll be very surprised.

Haha when I wrote that they were at 392 so ya last minute stuff probably starting to come in. I know there are a few things I will be adding but they said some of the add on stuff is better to do during the survey phase so holding off on things like print maps and dice until then.

Well with 6 hours to go they've jumped to $412,416, I have to say I wasn't sure it was going to get this high last week, so damn.

It continues to go up pretty quick every time I look at it today don't think they are going to make half a million but it will be in shouting range. And once the survey goes out and people like me start adding on the additional bits and bobs the final figure for them probably will be half a million +.

Indeed. I wonder if they'll end up doing any other Rifts stuff for Savage Worlds given the successful kickstarter? I may be jumping the gun, but I'd love to see a savage world version of Atlantis and Lemuria, or dare I say, Mechanoids.

This was just the start of a LINE of books.
Sean Patrick Fannon has already stated he has more books in the works.

I didn't hear that. That sounds good to me. Heck I've been toying around with the idea of running Palladium Fantasy with savage world rules. Just to see how it goes.
