Pledge Manager Locks 2/28
We wanted to make sure everyone has plenty of time to finish up their pledge manager, so we've set the close date to be 2/28. Once the pledge manager is locked, you will not be able to make further changes to your pledge. After the pledge manager is locked, credit cards will be charged on March 1st. If you have any questions about your survey or the pledge manager, please feel free to message us!
Coven Name Survey
Continue to make your mark on this campaign, and help us choose the name for the Kickstarter-Exclusive Coven! We went through all your suggestions and put them into a survey.
We made this form easy and straightforward--no need to log in or leave any info, just pick your favorite of the names on this list! We will announce the winner in our next update!
We've mentioned in previous updates and on the campaign page that we wanted to handle the solo content of Covens differently than we did in the Crux Collection. While playing through a series of unconnected scenarios in the Crux Collection allowed players to learn more about individual characters, our goal this time around is to have players feel involved in the full Of Dreams and Magic world. To that end, the Covens solo mode contains two important elements: the playable scenarios and an interactive adventure gamebook.
The playable scenarios will be very similar to past scenarios: you'll be given specifics challenges, play through reflections, and all that fun stuff.
The adventure gamebook will provide the spine for the Covens solo campaign. In between the playable scenarios, the gamebook will present you with interesting choices that can change what scenarios you play through, what abilities you can learn, and of course, what kind of ending you will receive once you're finished with the campaign.
We hope that playing through the solo campaign will make players feel as if they're in a great Of Dreams and Magic story, helping to further bridge the gap between board game and RPG.
Since the solo mode is so story-focused, we hope you understand that we've decided to keep a lot of the material under wraps. We've included a sample page from the gamebook below to whet your appetites for this fun new way to enjoy The Shared Dream.

Pledge Manager/Thanksgiving/PAX Unplugged!

Hey everyone!
As mentioned in the comments, we are going to be sending out the pledge manager surveys this week. A small amount of backers will be receiving their survey today, with the rest to come later this week.
If you are a returning backer in the Covens pledge level: Please check to make sure that 'The Shared Dream Base Game' is listed in your pledge level. We believe that we covered everyone through cross-checking emails, but we want to make sure you get what you're owed!
If you backed for no reward: In order to receive a physical reward, you will need to switch your pledge level. The easiest way to do this is to click the 'switch your pledge level' text below the 'get started' button.
You can also switch your pledge level by clicking the text of your pledge level, and then clicking Upgrade your Pledge.
Switching pledge levels is also the only way to get the Kickstarter Exclusive expansion material if you pledged at a lower tier. All other add-ons (such as custom dice or the promo pack,) can be added as normal.
Thanksgiving Holiday
We here at ODAM have a lot to be thankful for, so the timing of this holiday could not be better! If you celebrate it, we hope you have an awesome Thanksgiving as well!
We ask for your patience if we're a bit slower when it comes to replying to messages these next couple of weeks due to the holiday and PAX Unplugged.
PAX Unplugged
If you'll be at PAX Unplugged, stop by Booth #2033 and say hello! We'll be running demos of The Shared Dream, showing off a sneak peek at our latest project, and having an all-around fun time! We've also partnered with Penny Arcade to create a really cool Shared Dream Pin that you can grab as well. In fact, ODAM Publishing is part of this year's PAX Unplugged Pin Quest!

Before anything else, congratulations and thanks are in order. We've gone through a successful campaign together, and you all are just as much a part of that as we are. Our comments section was always exciting, we've seen more and more chat about TSD around the internet, and we maintained visibility on Kicktraq for a large portion of the campaign. None of that happens without your efforts, and for that we salute you!
Whenever we are asked what we want to accomplish in the gaming world, we have a pretty simple answer. We want everyone that supports us to be glad that they did so, and to know that when they see the ODAM Publishing logo, they know what to expect and are happy with what they receive. You've shown your support by backing this project during what has been called the biggest Kickstarter month ever. We know there are a lot of projects out there to choose from, and are honored that so many of you have to decided to join this one. Thank you.
As far as what's next, first, we'll celebrate a little. As mentioned, we'll have the 'ODAM Afterparty' on Google Hangouts tomorrow at 7pm. We'll be updating the project with a link to the chatroom tomorrow.
After that, we'll need a couple of weeks for the dust to settle and for the pledge manager to be set up.
Then we'll continue to update you on our progress, put together a poll so everyone can vote on the bonus Coven name, and otherwise keep you in the loop.
Thank you once again for joining our Coven! Now let's see some celebration in the Kickstarter comments and on our Discord right here:
