Secrets of the Golden Throne

Created by Open Ended Games

A supplement and a campaign for Against the Darkmaster, the Epic Fantasy tabletop RPG

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Land of the Golden Throne Early Access
about 1 year ago – Fri, Mar 17, 2023 at 06:16:42 AM

Greeting heroes, we come bringing good tidings!

The Early Access version of the first part of Secrets of the Golden Throne is ready, and all backers whose rewards include a physical or digital version of the book will soon receive a link to download the file through Backerkit (remember to check the Spam folder if you don’t see it).

Inside, you’ll find details about the island of Awallon and its inhabitants, plus a wealth of new rules and options, including Kins, Cultures, Backgrounds, and Spell Lores.

Please note that the file you’ll receive is NOT the final version of the Secrets of the Golden Throne supplement!

This is an art-free draft of the first part of the book, which is to be followed by a Bestiary, and by the campaign. For this reason, it’s likely to contain some typos and errors, which are going to be fixed in the final version. Moreover, you’ll find that the final look and layout of Secrets of the Golden Throne will be quite different from what you’ll find in this draft.

If you’d like to help us, you can do so by reporting all typos and errors you find on the #errata-feedback channel of our Discord server: https://discord.gg/RYwYacKBtK

Please don’t post your feedback here on Kickstarter or on social media, as your post is likely to get buried under all the other comments and we won’t be able to see it!

That’s all for now heroes, but stay vigilant, because we might have some monstrous news for you pretty soon!

Digital Rewards Incoming!
about 1 year ago – Tue, Feb 07, 2023 at 12:44:30 AM

Greetings heroes,

We've got some exciting news for you today! All orders have been locked and we're getting ready to start delivering the digital rewards. Soon, you'll receive an email from Backerkit, containing instructions on how to access your digital rewards. If don't receive it, check your spam folder, or log in to your Backerkit account to claim your rewards.

Thank you again for your heroic support in the fight Against the Darkmaster!

Last Chance to Update Your Order
about 1 year ago – Tue, Jan 31, 2023 at 04:40:12 AM

Welcome back, heroes!

Today we’re closing down the late pledge page and we start locking all your orders, meaning you’ll have a limited time to make any last-minute change to your pledge, and a last chance to add any of the add-ons. 48 hours from now, all orders will automatically lock, and it won’t be possible to make any additional changes.

Addresses, on the other hand, will be locked only right before we start shipping, so if you’re moving, or you need to change that for any other reason, you’ve still got plenty of time.

General Progress

Book one of Secrets of the Golden Throne, including all the new rules, Kins, Cultures, Spell Lores, Bestiary, and setting details, is ready to be sent to editing. Much like we did for the Core Rules, as soon as the editing is done, we’ll upload it as an “Early Access” PDF on Backerkit as a special preview for all backers.

We’re also happy to announce that development of the second part of the supplement, covering the Secrets of the Golden Throne campaign, is proceeding well, and that we’re right on track for the planned release date.

Until next time, may your travels be swift and your swords always ready!

Locking Orders Soon
over 1 year ago – Mon, Jan 02, 2023 at 12:52:54 PM

Greetings heroes, and Happy New Year to all of you!

On the 31st of January we’ll start locking late pledges and backer’s orders.

This means that the 31st of January is the last day to make final updates to your order. After this date, we will lock your reward selections and charge cards for add-on item purchases, pledge upgrades, shipping, and pre-orders.

Don’t worry, though, you’ll still be able to update your shipping address up until we lock addresses for shipping.

Most of you have already answered their surveys, but if  you haven’t, please do it now. If you fill out your BackerKit survey after the 31st of January, we’ll still receive your information but your shipment may be delayed. Also, keep in mind that after that date, you won’t be able to select the split shipping option anymore, meaning that all your rewards will be sent to you in a single shipment together with the Secrets of the Golden Throne book if you haven’t chosen that particular add-on.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://awallon.backerkit.com/.

Don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected] should you have any questions or need help with your survey.

Thanks, everyone for your support and cooperation!

Backerkit Surveys Coming Soon
over 1 year ago – Thu, Dec 08, 2022 at 01:23:32 AM

Well met brave heroes!

Very soon you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.

You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!

If you'd like your physical rewards to be fulfilled with multiple shipments as soon as the books are available, rather than in a single shipment together with the Secrets of the Golden Throne book (i.e.: you want us to ship you the Against the Darkmaster Core Rules, PHB, and/or adventures before Secrets of the Golden Throne releases), please select the appropriate Split Shipping add-on, according to the region you live in. This will cover the extra shipping fees needed to get the books to you. If your region isn't covered in these add-ons, please send us a message and we'll figure out how to make this work on a case-by-case basis. If you don't select one of these add-ons, we'll send you all your rewards in a single shipment when Secrets of the Golden Throne releases (the standard option for this Kickstarter).

Please note that, even if you select the Split Shipping option, it will still take some time, according to the product type and shipping region, before we can start shipping your rewards, as our fulfillment centers will need to receive the books, sort your orders, and complete the other operations needed to ensure they'll get safely to their destination.

After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://awallon.backerkit.com/.

If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://awallon.backerkit.com//faq#contact-us.
