Over 1,000 Backers and $45k!
We unlocked two stretch goals today through all the support from you backers. With these two goals unlocked ALL backers of physical levels will get a vinyl decal of the "The Woods Do Not Care For You" phrase, and ALL backers regardless of tier will receive an additional short story in the Into the Wyrd and Wild. This will be included with the other fiction and adventures.
We're presently working our way to unlocking the Into the Wyrd and Wild creature deck that we announced in the previous update, and we're really excited to see it take shape.
At 1,500 backers we'll unlock another vinyl decal for all backers of the physical pledge levels. The Skull and Roots logo will be available at that time.
Add-ons
Just a reminder, we put some add-ons in which you can see when you use the Manage Your Pledge feature. We added the GM screen, and the new unlocked decal. If we unlock another decal, it will be up there as well.
Reference Deck Unlocked!

INCREDIBLE!
We've said it before, and we'll say it again, all of you backers are absolutely incredible!!! Through your continued support we have surpassed the $50k mark and unlocked the Into the Wyrd and Wild Reference Deck Add-On. This deck is a game reference and player aid which will allow players to easily reference the monsters and creatures encountered in the setting. It will have the stat block from the book and any relevant information included on each card, and associated art. You can add this deck to your pledge by using the Manage My Pledge feature and going to the add-ons. (FYI, it was pointed out that you don't actually have to change your pledge level. You can select the same pledge level, and then it should take you to the add-on section.)
Next Goal
Our next stretch goal at $55,000 is our final adventure goal. We want to make sure that these adventures can be completed in a timely fashion so as not to delay the release and delivery of the product. This adventure will be written by Doug Levandowski, one of the creators of the Kids on Bikes RPG and a ton of other really cool stuff. He's already working on the concept so that's super exciting.
We do have a few other goals lined up, but you all have already completely exceeded our initial expectations, so we want to make sure we're still able to provide a great product in a timely manner and don't want to add anything which could jeopardize that. We'll make sure to communicate future goals in the same way we've been doing.
Creepy Stories Gol UNLOCKED!

You all shared your stories with us, with everything from random screaming in the woods and being swarmed by ants, to disembodied presences and scorpions in your sleeping bags. You've all done a great job of making us think twice before delving into the deep woodlands.
Through your efforts, you unlocked a new Limited Edition art print which will be included for ALL physical backers.
We're already over halfway towards the next stretch goal and well on our way to the 1,000 backer stretch goal!
Add-Ons
We also wanted you to know that we made some slight additions to the rewards section for you all. You are now able to adjust your pledge and add-on additional copies of the book, the Digital Token Set, and a PRINT copy of the Grim Harvest Adventure and any unlocked fiction or adventures going forward. These additions You can simply use the "Manage Pledge" feature and make any adjustments you would like. These funds still count towards achieving other stretch goals too. Remember that these are also included in the "I WANT IT ALL" tier with the GM screen and the art print which is exclusive to that tier, so some may choose to simply upgrade tires, but we wanted to give you the option of adding those individually.

Yet ANOTHER Goal Reached!
I stayed up late last night following along, hoping to make an update last night, but alas the three psychic vampires (children) in my house had their usual effect on me. I woke up this morning to see that you al managed to smash through ANOTHER goal! Now a second ribbon bookmark will be added to the book, which allowing you to mark and keep track of the many useful resources at your fingertips. We're already over halfway to the next goal too.
$25,000 - UV Spot Coating will be added to the standard hardcover book.
We also have at least two stories on Twitter for our current Social Stretch Goal. Keep up the good work and share those creepy stories!
The Woods Do Not Care For You: Share your real life story of creepy happenings while in the woods. Share on Twitter or Facebook. Be sure to include this link (http://kck.st/33fXMDD) and tag @WetInkGames and use #WyrdAndWild. We'll unlock this goal when ten (10) stories are shared!
Physical Add-ons
This actually brings us to another point you all have been asking about since we launched.
Do we have images of the production copies? Since we're launching this as a revision and reprint, the images we have are for the first print run. Charles is getting us some updated shots of the hardback book, and is presently working on the mock-up of the standard edition cover (you can see the ORIGINAL digital mock up below, but we'll be sure to share the updated one as soon as we get it). We don't have any versions of the revision because we haven't had the printer start the run yet. As soon as we do, we'll post a bunch of images of the print proofs for you all to see. In the meantime, there is an excellent review of the original SPECIAL EDITION run by One Torch Short below. There will be some changes (like the addition of those ribbon bookmarks) but we're working to match or surpass the quality and feel of this already gorgeous book.
Standard Edition Mock-Up
One of the things we want to do with the standard edition is to keep the title on the cover. This always helps with books that are distributed in retail so consumers know what they're picking up and looking at while browsing. We also want to keep the creepy skull elements of the logo because it's just a great looking design. Now, this mock-up was the original softcover design, but that evolved during the design phase of the first print run. Charles is working to bring his own unique and updated design flair to this cover and we'll be sure to show a new mock-up soon.
