As we move forward, you will probably notice slower progress than the first few days of a campaign. That is just the nature of the beast when it comes to Kickstarter, but we’ll continue to share the project and promote through various channels as we go. As it stands now, we’re at 52% (almost 53%) and we have a bunch of stuff happening. We just had an interview with Full Metal RPG, and we’re recording with Darker Days Radio this afternoon. We’ll be sure to spread the word when those are released. In the meantime, if you would like to follow along as some of the art is developed, check out the TikTok for Charles Ferguson-Avery.

Day two of the campaign ended with us right at about 43% funding, with more day two backer and more day two funds raised than for the original Never Going Home campaign. Like we said yesterday, it's way too early to see if this is a trend, but we extremely glad you all believe in the product enough to support it. We're hoping to be at 50% soon.
We're going to be speaking with the awesome Heavy Metal Gamer podcast tonight about Never Going Home and the campaign books in general. We'll be sure to let you know when that goes up so you all can tune in and listen.
In our next update, we'll be showing you a cool way to follow some of the development of the art for the new books. Keep on sharing the project and spreading the word.
What an incredible first 24 hours!

You all are awesome!
First, we would just like tho say thank you to all of you who joined us on day one. These pledges really help a project get the visibility it needs, but more importantly show us that you believe in what we're creating. We hope you keep spreading the word and telling your friends and gaming groups about the cool, indie RPG material you all are helping to the table.
I wanted to show you the day one stats for this compared to the first Never Going Home campaign.
1) Total Backers:
- Never Going Home: 99
- NGH Campaign Dossiers: 115
2) Amount Pledged:
- Never Going Home: $4,607
- NGH Campaign Dossiers: $6,426
So, I'd like to say this with the giant caveat that I'm not a data analyst or anything of that sort. It's really exciting to see a comparison like this when you consider the original Never Going Home campaign was supposed to be one book, funded at $7,000. We had no idea it was going to hit the right nerve in the gaming community to raise over $33,000. We're funding three books at $20,000, and have plans for more based on stretch goals.
Some people may look at these numbers and want to project that this campaign may even exceed the first campaign. Well, as you can see by our stretch goal list, that would be excellent and we're hoping we can blow past some of these awesome goals to bring even more cool stuff to the game, but we don't want to take anything for granted. Now that Never Going Home is a known commodity in the gaming world, with people playing it, coming up with fan material, having it show up on a number of top 10 lists of respected reviewers, it very well could be on the radar of more gamers than we anticipate. Let's keep the excitement for the game going by sharing the project and spreading the word.
