Fully funded!

And just like that we've raced past the final stretch goal and Dark Nation is fully funded! 

At this stage it's tempting for me to add more stuff, but I'd sooner focus on making sure that what's been promised is delivered to you all promptly, and on time. The overshoot probably does mean I can spend a little more on stock photography and the like to illustrate things, so Dark Nation is going to look even cooler. 

And Geek Native have given the campaign a nice little write up - which you can read here.

If you'd like to do me a favour, you could share that article with your gaming friends.

Thanks for all the support to date...

Stretch goals unlocked!

Hello Amazing Gamers,

Not only are we funded, but we've unlocked not one, but two stretch goals, one of which I hadn't even added to the page when we sailed past it.

So, good news. As well as all the basic material in DARK NATION you'll be getting two short additional scenarios. One by Cat Evans and one by Alun Rees.  That makes a total of five scenarios in the book. 

And coming into view is our final stretch goal - three pre-made Dark Nation's to add to your game.  

• In Dark USA (1938) the Wall St. Cabal have succeeded in their plot to take over the United States, and Hoover's Bureau of Investigation stamps out dissent wherever it appears. Live the American Dream, or risk falling foul of the feared 'Radical Division'.
• In Dark Britain (1985) a limited nuclear war has wrecked Europe, but Fortress Britain stands firm against the tide of communists, refugees and socialists that threatens to engulf it. But fear not, the British Broadcasting Corporation (Auntie) is here to ensure you think only the right thoughts. 
• In Dark Germany (2035) pandemics, climate disasters and conflicts have convinced Germany to close its borders and build a self sufficient, zero emission economy. Will you do your part, or stand accused of being a traitor to all humanity?

So that's what's coming. I for one am very excited.

Thankyou for backing DARK NATION. As I write this we're just a couple of pledges short of being funded - a great result for the first day's crowdfunding. 

I will be back with more updates and information as the campaign unfolds. But for now I just want to say thankyou for funding this game. 

Now, we need to move on, before someone sees us.
