Day 1 - Over 80% Funded!

When we pressed that launch button this morning for the first time, it was a strange feeling. All of the work we had done in creating the game, the art, the world, and it came down to us putting our faith in people.

Within seconds, we had the pledges coming in and we were humbled. Friends, as well as people we didn't even know, had set their alarms and took time out of their days to make sure they were there to support us. It's moments like this that help us believe in community and in each other. 

Thank you.

Current Status

So far through pre-Kickstarter stretch goals, we have unlocked 4 alternate versions of characters currently in the game. These will be new cards added to the game, so instead of 9 character cards there will be 13!

What does that mean? Why are we doing this?

When designing Cult of the Deep, we made an effort to appeal to new players as well as board game veterans. One way we did this was by dividing the characters into 2 categories: easy and advanced. Both were fairly equal in power but the advanced characters provided the players with more interactions and choices. By adding an alternate version of an easy character, we can provide a different take on an ability in order to provide more choices, gameplay, and replayability. 

Achieving those stretch goals unlocked alternate cards for the: Astrologer, Blood Mage (shown above), Librarian, and Sorceress. We are excited to bring these alternate versions to life! However, we need your help. 

Funding The Cult

The first few days of a Kickstarter are crucial in order to set the campaign up for success. Which means we need to spread the word. We'll keep doing our best to initiate people into the Cult of the Deep, but just like how summoning a Kraken takes a cult to complete the ritual, we need everyone one of us to invite others to the cult. 

To help, we are going to add a social stretch goal. If we succeed, we'll unlock an alternate card for the Merchant character!

Step 1) Post, tweet, share, email, write an article, draw, paint or whatever works for you. It just needs to be about Cult of the Deep. It can be about the art, the world, the short story, the gameplay, or even Phil. (He's the Kraken you see on our cover image! His name is Phil McKraken.)

Step 2) Add the following link that leads to the Kickstarter page on whatever it is you share:              http://bit.ly/cult-welcome

Step 3) When we reach 1000 clicks, we'll unlock the alternate card for the Merchant!

(**Note: Please be aware and respect the rules of any groups or places that you post in. Spamming or dry linking is only going to get your post, link or possibly yourself removed from the group.)

If you use Instagram and would like to participate:

Step 1) Post or share on Instagram anything you like about Cult of the Deep, art, gameplay, etc. 

Step 2) Make sure to mention us @bagamesco on your post and every post will count as 2 clicks. 

(**Note: Spamming posts will not be counted towards the total number of clicks.)

Thank You For Being Here

We just want to say thank you for being here and welcome to the cult!
