High Plain Samurai

Two More Weeks and Counting…

Todd Crapper High Plains Samurai ,

If there’s one piece of advice to dispense above all others for anyone looking to run a Kickstarter, it’s this: the middle of the campaign is a killer. After this resounding success meeting our target in only 47 hours, the High Plains Samurai Kickstarter is now at the midsection of the campaign and building towards what we hope will be an exciting conclusion.

If you haven’t been there yet or if you haven’t checked it out since the launch, take a look at all the goodies that are waiting for you should we cross the $5,000 and $7,000 lines. Based on our current projections, it looks as if we’ll be able to create a small product line for HPS and it’s all thanks to our backers.

Visit the High Plains Samurai Kickstarter and back it today! Or tomorrow. But definitely no later than June 29th.

You can also read Fraser Ronald’s first three chapters of Ballad of a High Plains Samurai, the origin story of Black Scorpion.

Funded!

That one glorious word says it all. It only took 47 hours to reach its goal and the people have spoken – High Plains Samurai has reached its target goal and there’s still 28 days to take this game to the next level.

The response to HPS has been amazing and while there’s still a long road to travel before we cross the last stretch goal on the current list (at $18,000), we are working on new ideas to expand how all players can interact with the One Land and move their story forward. Stay tuned for that.

Because we reached our initial goal, it also means Jeff Brown will put together a full colour map of the One Land. You can learn more about Jeff and his amazing portfolio (he’s also the cover artist for ScreenPlay) on his website.

Thank you everyone for your support and we can’t wait to see how fast this train can go.

High Plains Samurai Slaps Kickstarter Across the Face!

HPS-Kickstarter_April2017_leadgraphic_1024x576Or that’s the hope, at least.

Yes, the moment has finally arrived. High Plains Samurai is now on Kickstarter with a $3,000 CDN target to reach before June 29, 2017 at 10:00 PM EST. Our own HPS page has been updated and if you’ve been keeping an eye on this project for the past couple years, now is your time to show just how much the One Land means to you.

There’s so much to do on this first day that we’re going to dive right into it. Even if you’re on the fence about this ultimate mash-up RPG, you can download the first chapter from the Kickstarter page and see for yourself. You can also gain access to the complete Kickstarter Edition of the game shortly after backing it for as little as $1. Either way, everything you need to know about the Five Cities and how you can help save (or destroy) it is… yep, you guessed it. On the Kickstarter page. 

Holy $&@*, The Kickstarter Is Only 5 Days Away!

Some headlines can only encapsulate the true emotion of the moment with a curse. Or a censored curse, in this case.

As of the day this post goes live, the High Plains Samurai Kickstarter goes live and everything’s looking great! The page has already been approved and can be launched whenever we choose (but we’re sticking with May 30th so coincide with Todd’s appearance on Misdirected Mark). Over the course of this weekend, we’ll be updating the website, outputting the PDF for the Kickstarter Edition of the game, finalizing the video, and a few more bits and pieces. It’ll be a busy weekend and it’ll all be worth presenting the best possible version of the game to make you honoured to become a backer.

And the stretch goals… oh, the stretch goals. Let us simply say one word to show you how far this game can go: trilogy.

On behalf of everyone involved in HPS, thank you for your support in getting the word out on this campaign and hope you’ll continue to do so in the coming month. You can follow Todd (@Warden_Op on Twitter) if you’re looking to #SaveTheOneLand as a hero or you can follow Chaos (who has hacked our @BrokenRuler Twitter account) if you’re looking to #DestroyTheOneLand as a villain.
