One week in and we made it! You guys are the best cultists a horrible monster from beyond the stars could ask for. It's a good thing I just added that first stretch goal!

Demos this week, and our first stretch goal! And NecronomiCon!

A lot of you have been asking for stretch goals, and like I always say, you gotta give the people what they want, so here's the first stretch goal: at $40,000 every copy ofCultists of Cthulhuwill come with the two player mode! The other bit of news is that I'll be doing at least two demos this week. Tomorrow I'll be at Brooklyn Game Lab (http://brooklyngamelab.com/) in the evening, and then on Wednesday I'll be at The Uncommons (https://www.uncommonsnyc.com/)all day long. Come say hi, or if you're not in New York, tell people who are to come over! And finally, I'll be at NecronomiCon (http://necronomicon-providence.com/) in Providence August 20th-23rd. That Saturday, the 22nd, I'll be doing a bunch of demos and giving two talks: one on game design, and one on crowdfunding. I hope I'll see you there, and if not, happy gaming! You're the best backers ever!

Let me introduce myself and the team

We didn't make it to our goal in the first 48 hours. That's fine; it was a lofty goal, and we can be proud of what we have made, which is nearly $29,000 as of me writing this, which is damned impressive in my opinion. The two player mode will have to wait, but I think we'll grab it - certain of you have been clamoring for stretch goals, and we just might see it pop up there.

I've talked a lot about Cultists of Cthulhu and the kickstarter campaign, of course, and I think it's past time I get a bit more personal and introduce myself. I'm Thomas Eliot, designer of Cultists of Cthulhu and cofounder of Sixpence Games with my wife Allison. Bloomberg Businessweek once called me a "Guardian of the Apocalypse". Together we work on our games (many of which we have yet to show you!) with two artists; Andrea Renaisse (Professor Pugnacious) and Joshua Wright (Cultists of Cthulhu), and musician Brent Hengeveld.

The fine folks at Brooklyn Independent Media, as part of their series Brooklyn Made, interviewed me fairly recently, and I think their excellent video will make a welcome respite from my much more shoddily put together ones:

I'm also going to be putting on a lot of demos next week, so if you live in or can get to New York and want to play Cultists of Cthulhu right now, with me, you can do that next week! I'll tell you when and where exactly once the plans are finalized, and I'm hoping to hit up every one of my favorite stores in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Less than a quarter to go - but what if we don't make it by tomorrow?

We're over 75% funded and it hasn't even been two days yet, so I am feeling pretty great about that. I hope we reach (and pass!) 100% by the time I wake up tomorrow, and if we don't we will soon after, I'm sure. But if we don't, what about the two player mode?

I really want to get it to you, and I know a lot of you are really interested in that. If you're holding out for that, stick with us and you shall be rewarded.
