Hey there Time Keepers!
We are officially a third of the way through the campaign as we hit the normal mid-campaign grind. But, we can't say enough just how impressed we are with everyone who has offered their support and backed the project - you're the real heroes of this adventure!
So here's the first-trimester review - check out all the milestones we hit along the way!
Achievements!
-
Project Launched! We stayed up all night in Australia and launched the Kickstarter at 3am here to an amazing reception globally
-
FUNDED day 1: We got FUNDED at our funding goal of $10,000 AUD within 5 hours!!!
-
First Stretch Goal Hit! Day 1 we also hit our first stretch goal set at $15,000 AUD (see below for Stretch Goal report)
-
Second Stretch Goal Hit! Week 1 also saw us hit the second stretch goal at $20,000 AUD
-
FUNDED over 200%: Not only did we hit that second stretch goal, but $20k also doubled the original funding goal!
Stretch Goals!
So what are these stretch goals we keep banging on about?
Here's the current stretch goal table... think you can help us reach the next one?
-
New Paradoxes Detected: We’re going to go beyond the mechanics of calculating and rolling on paradox tables to give you a slew of prebuilt paradox encounters, including their cause and effect, so you can get to adventuring through (and hopefully fixing) time!
-
New Timelines Detected: We'll be adding a series of pre-made investigations and missions for your Time Keepers to explore throughout the Reweaved Multiverse.
What's Next?! Next stretch goal up we have STICKER TIME! which will be our first stretch goal that introduces a brand new product addition to your physical pledge tiers. A set of Official Spinning Wheel stickers - so you can show your loyalty to the Wheel right at the gaming table!
Development Update!
With the Kickstarter campaign now well into its stride, we continue the development of the book itself in the background. Clint is hard at work applying edits and laying out the book. Check out this gorgeous spread (missing a piece of art at the moment).
In this spread, you'll learn about the Reweaved Multiverse, including some commentary from our friendly Artificial Intelligence commentator helper, Sandy (in the yellow box)! Sandy will give you hints and tips throughout the book to ensure your experience as a Time Keeper in the Spinning Wheel is second to none.
Remember, only you can help us deliver the best book possible, so if you haven't backed us yet, please consider this project for all your time travel campaign needs!
Until next time,
Clint and Phil - Haggard Time Games

Thank you so much for getting us to this point! $20,000, WOWEE! We are absolutely speechless with the amount of support you have all given this project and our team.
This also means... NEW STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED! At the $20k mark, we have now unlocked new content to be added to the core Chronomancer's Guide to the Future: Part II book. We'll be adding a series of pre-made investigations and missions for your Time Keepers to explore throughout the Reweaved Multiverse. Check out the example below!
Time Travel Investigations & Deviation Notices
So, what makes Time Travel Investigation different from any general investigation? Truthfully? Everything… and nothing. When investigating in time, Timekeepers are required to not only look up, down, and all around for evidence but also forward and backward. With the flutter of a butterfly's wings, a timeline can change in an instant. You can only imagine what would happen if anything more were to occur. The Chronomancer’s Guide to the Future: Part II features extensive mechanics and advice on running time travel investigations and now includes a ton of investigation hooks spread across time.
Be it challenging the rogue artificial intelligence supercomputer attempting to recalculate its timelines future or returning a stuffed teddy bear to a little girl so she doesn’t become jaded and turn into a lich queen, each time period will now feature at least three investigation outlines/deviation notices for jumpstarting Timekeepers into solving time crimes.
Check out this example Deviation Notice that we have already made!
Let us know what kind of things your players might investigate in the Reweaved Multiverse in the comments below!
Stretch Goal Unlocked! Expanded Paradoxes added to the book!

You’ve done it! You have helped us reach the first stretch goal at the $15,000 mark! Thank you so much for your continued support. Now, let’s find out what exactly Expanded Paradoxes are and what they mean to your experience in the Time Wars.
Expanded Paradoxes
The Reweaved Multiverse is a place besieged by the Time Wars. With the varied alternate timelines of existence all vying to be the last one standing, Timekeepers (players) will have their hands full trying to keep order in the timeline. A prime example of the type of chaos they’ll encounter is Paradox.
Paradox occurs in any plane experiencing a deviated timeline. It is unpredictable, corruptive, and extremely dangerous. Think of paradox like a disease, except instead of debilitating your health it debilitates your reality. In most cases it starts small, causing small shifts in the flow of consciousness and operation of most things. Ever have the lights flicker but there’s no storm about? Ever walk into a room and forget why you went in there? That’s the effects of paradox in your immediate area.
The Chronomancer’s Guide to the Future: Part II is FULL of such examples but now that we’ve unlocked this stretch goal, we’re going to go one further. We’re going to go beyond the mechanics of calculating and rolling on paradox tables to give you a slew of prebuilt paradox encounters, including their cause and effect, so you can get to adventuring through (and hopefully fixing) time!

Hey there Time Keepers, we are so happy to announce that the Chronomancer’s Guide to the Future: Part II has officially hit its funding goal and we couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you all so, so much!
We would like to take this opportunity to thank a few folks who, without their support, we wouldn’t have made it this far at all.
- MT Black for your ever-insightful guidance and support
- Nord Games who helped us get this project in front of so many people and really opened new doors for us.
- All of the TTRPG creative community folk that rallied to our side to help extend our reach and really bring even more of you into our community.
- And of course, the most important people, every single backer that has supported us so far – we quite literally couldn’t be here making cool time travel stuff without you!
So, what’s next?!
Well, with that funding goal now reached, we turn our attention to the first of the Stretch Goals.
First up at the $15,000 mark we have New Paradoxes Detected; an expanded section on paradoxes is added to the book.
