FEVER DREAM NEXUS

Under 48 Hours Left + Sneak Peak at DM Stuff!
about 3 years ago – Wed, Mar 01, 2023 at 03:40:45 PM

Hey there! Looks like we knocked out our FIFTH stretch goal with just under 48 hours remaining! I'm stoked to have an excuse to make a bunch of wild tables and cram them into every crevice of the book. Honestly, a page without tables is barely a page at all. 

But today I'm bringing you something other than incessant table praise: a sneak peak into the DM-side of things! I've cleaned up and pampered an example one-shot showing off what a region of the Nexus looks like through Coma Beach and the cultist town of Itch within.

Itch is located in the Ogre plate, the wretched, lawless land of darkness most of the Nexus avoid, so it definitely is darker in tone than most other regions of the setting. Additionally, note that it is unplaytested and super rough, but I think it portrays a good idea of the type of content you will have in the DM section of Fever Dream Nexus! Check it out:

Besides that, I just want to say thanks again to everyone supporting the book. We are now within the last two days and I couldn't be more proud of the collective excitement I've seen. We knocked out five out of seven stretch goals, and we are already on our way to our sixth! So make sure to get the word around and lets see if we can knock out Postcards of the Nexus just before the end! 

Five Days Remain + A New Culture!

This week we knocked out our fourth stretch goal - Ready Made Adventures! Adding onto the huge amount of content in the wilds of the Nexus, now we will have ready to play, out of box scenarios to shove your desperate players into. 

But with just five days left, lets see if we can really push and reach my personal favorite stretch goal, More Tables! It's factually impossible for a book to have too many tables, so continue to share Fever Dream Nexus around so we can get even more weird content stuffed into this bad boy!

Additionally, today I arrive with a new culture, the Peka.

Finally, as I mentioned last update, I got one more interview to show off today! I had a chat with James and Manny on Really Dicey about the world building within the Nexus and the inspirations for the book, so make sure to check it out for even more Nexus lore!

Thanks again everyone, I am astounded by the love and support I've gotten these last couple weeks! Take care <3

New Culture, Track Pledge Tier, and Interviews!

Today we knocked out our THIRD stretch goal! I'm absolutely blown away by the excitement and support you guys are showing for the project. But with just two weeks left, lets see if we can reach even higher!

While you guys have been breaking stretch goals left and right, I've been hard at work getting more art and writing done for the book. Today I introduce to you the weird nerds of the Nexus, the Tashin:

Additionally, after receiving a bunch of awesome suggestions from supporters for Tracks, I've decided to add an additional make-your-own-Track pledge tier. As the top two creative tiers sold out in the first couple days, this should make sure late backers can still get their creative input in the game. Almost anything goes, so feel free to throw some wild ideas at me and we will workshop it together!

Finally, these past few days I've been on a couple shows talking about Fever Dream Nexus! Linked below, I have a talk with Hunter and Ryan on the Weekly Scroll about inspirations, my last book Kingdoms, and trpg design.  Then, for a deeper dive into mechanics, make sure to check out my text Q&A with Dan the Gumshoe! Additionally, be on the lookout, as a couple more interviews should be coming out this week.

 Thanks again for all of your support, you guys are the best! <3

We are officially funded!

And we already got the first stretch goal knocked out before the sun could rise... wow.

I can't express enough how much your support for Fever Dream Nexus means to me, its an absolute pleasure to be able to give you guys more wacky content this Zinequest. The best part is... we are just getting started! With each pledge we get this book fatter, so lets see how many more goals we can reach!

Thanks again, especially to returning backers of my last work, your support for me means the world.
