Latest Updates from Our Project:

Late Pledges Ended, What Stretch Goals do I get, Survey Plan
about 1 year ago – Mon, Dec 16, 2024 at 09:31:36 AM

The REAL Final Number is $89336, which means we fell just short of our $90K stretch goal unfortunately. Bummer, but we will see if it is possible to include the character sheet pad or not once we work on our final numbers with our manufacturer.  

How do I know if I get the Early Bird Player's Manual? 

  • All backers of $20 or more through Friday 10/25 at 11:59pm Eastern get a free Driver's Manual player book. 
  • The item will be automatically added to your backer survey so it will show in your cart at no cost. 
  • If you backed at a level that gives you 4 player's manual AND backed during the Early Bird time frame you will receive 5 copies of the player's manual. 

What Stretch Goal Items do I get?

APOCALYPSE NOW?
over 1 year ago – Tue, Nov 12, 2024 at 03:44:52 PM

THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING FASTER THAN WE THOUGHT! 

🔥 When the world is on fire and there is nothing that you can do, that's bad. But, in THUNDER ROAD: VENDETTA being on fire is awesome! A core principle in the game design was to make everything big, dumber, bolder, more on firereryer (firer?)...you know what I mean. When you get behind the wheel of your sweet post-apocalyptic death machine - you need to get ready to let go and to go with the flow.

CAR TALK VENDETTA

We did a fun session with the design team that you can listen to below.  This give a lot if insight into what's going in the game, and what you get from playing. This RPG is the kind of experience that wants you to make vroom-vroom noises and crash your hot wheels together!

STRETCH GOALS 

We have been cruising along at 55MPH for the last week during the election and middle of the campaign. Now, we have just over 2 weeks so let's do this! Rev it up to 80! 

🗣 Please spread the word using this link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/9thlevel/thunder-road-vendetta-rpg?ref=14vfmo 

FAST CARS and FIREBALLS

We are in the final stretch here, with some of the coolest stretch goals to try for.  I, for one, hope that we can get to 100K so that we can make FAST CARS and FIREBALLS - which is something that we've been talking about for years - but took off the board when Thunder Road: Vendetta RPG happened. 

It's the FANTASY version/skin for Thunder Road: Vendetta RPG! I want to PLAY a Fast Cars and Fireballs Vendetta Hack - because I love goblins and kobolds and wizards, and I think its about time we put them behind the wheel of some dragonoil guzzling death machines!

❓What type of fun adventures, NPC's, or obstacles would you want to see in Fast Cars & Fireballs? Post below! 

ROCK AND ROLL!

🔥 7 Days on the Road - New Pledge Tier & Designer Interview
over 1 year ago – Tue, Oct 29, 2024 at 10:54:31 AM

One Week 

We blasted through week one with a ton of stretch goals unlocked, a few more interviews. We are VERY close to unlocked the $70K stretch goal. Keep an eye out later this week for more goodies!!!! 

Many Thunder Road: Vendetta board game fans have been asking to just buy the dice set and dice car. It is possible to pledge for $1 now and add on through Backerkit, but we received enough requests that it seems better to make a new pledge tier for DICE ONLY

⚠️ If you are looking to update or change your pledge tier, check our FAQ section for instructions on how to do so. 

Designer Discussion 

Listen back to last night's discussion with the design team about adapting the board game to an RPG. 

Thanks,
