Account name change

Hello!
I’m changing the display name on this Kickstarter account to more accurately reflect the nature of the way we release roleplaying games. When I started out it was just me and a dream and some goblins, but we’re now running a business with employees and deadlines and everything.
So from now on, this account will be called Rowan, Rook and Decard - that’s our official business name.
In order to get the name changed I’m having to go through all my projects and post an update in each of them alerting you to it, so my apologies if you get several notifications which all say the same thing.
Our next Kickstarter (launching May 17th) is DIE the RPG, written by Kieron Gillen and illustrated by Stephanie Hans. It’s based on the comic of the same name, it’s absolutely gorgeous, and you’ll probably love it. You can follow along here.
Thank you all for your support over the years.

STRATA is the follow-up to Spire; more weirdness, more character abilities, two new classes (including one who's a pulp fiction wizard), at least five new scenarios (from brilliant authors), over 40,000 words of setting info and plot hooks, and loads of full colour art from Adrian Stone.
If you liked Spire and want more of it, take a look at the Strata Kickstarter here.

Just a quick one - you can now download Kings of Silver from our site! We're really proud of what we've pulled off here, and we'd love for you to take a look. Following on from Blood & Dust and Eidolon Sky, we've continued our practice of setting up an adventure, providing hooks, and letting the GM tell brilliant stories without getting in their way with pre-ordained plotlines.
Pick up a copy of Kings of Silver here - and pay as much or as little as you want.
We hope you enjoy it!

Physical copies now on sale!
We've got books! Lots of books. If you missed out on the initial wave from the Kickstarter, you can now get hold of hardback books from our website - both standard and super-special-luxury editions. If you're in the United States, we also offer distribution through Indie Press Revolution.
If you're still missing something from your order, you really ought to have it by now. Please send an email to [email protected] if you've yet to receive part of your order and we'll rectify it as soon as possible.
Kings of Silver out soon
Kings of Silver, our upcoming pay-what-you-want campaign frame for Spire, is due for release on the 31st of May. We're really excited to share this with you! Alina's done a great job on laying out the bundle of newspaper clippings that start off the campaign, letting players pick their targets and work out a strategy to overthrow the Silver Quarter. Learn more about Kings of Silver here.
Secrets Kept from the Sun
Chad Walker, author of the brilliant Cryptomancer, wrote us an essay on drow and aelfir cryptography in Spire. Those of you with access to stretch goals can download it through Backerkit - if you don't have access, but you'd still like to pick it up, you can get it from our store here.
Bookmarked PDF
The backerkit is now updated with the final, top-notch, bookmarked, fully-corrected PDF for you all to download.
The Director's Commentary, recorded by Chris and Grant (with interviews featuring Adrian Stone, Tim Wilkinson Lewis, Chad Walker and Mary Hamilton) is now available on the backerkit. (There's an audio issue with the Order file, which we're sorting when we can; we'll need to re-record it I think, so it might take a week or thereabouts. Everything else is okay though!)
For those of you who don't have access to the files on Backerkit, you can listen to our weekly podcast where we'll cut them into hour-long chunks. Follow the podcast on our soundcloud here.
UK Games Expo
We're going to be at UK Games Expo this weekend! We're part of the UK Indie RPG League - which is us, Black Armada, Certain Death and UFO Press - and we're on stand B2 in Hall 2. If you're at the expo, come along and say hello! We'll have all of Grant's one-pagers on sale, our Honey Heist t-shirts, Goblin Quest, and of course all the maps, prints and hardcovers of Spire that you can shake a stick at.
Phew. Okay, that's a lot of news. Speak soon,
- Grant, Chris and Mary
