One of the best parts of my job as project manager is getting to describe places in the Lost Lands, and see our incredible artists bring them to life. But it's tough to keep it all to myself! So as we close in on the end of the campaign, I wanted to share a few more pieces you will see in the book.
Here is the art Colin Chan did for the Citadel of Caene, in the city of Courghais, capital of Foere --
From this view, we see the ceremonial entrance to the Citadel, the heart of the city's oldest section. Of particular note here is the mix of architectural styles that are the hallmark of Courghais. In the center foreground, the main entryway, flanked by rows of towering stone columns supporting a peaked roof, dates back to the earliest days of the city as a Hyperborean fortress. Adjacent to this remnant of that ancient empire, and forming other parts of the Citadel, are buildings of much more recent construction (seen in the left foreground, with buttresses supporting the roof, and the taller buildings in the background). The enormous Throne Tower is off to the left, outside of the scope of this view.
I hope you're as excited as I am to see the artwork we have commissioned for this project, which really brings the Lost Lands to life in a way that written words just cannot. Let your friends know that there are only a few hours left (40, as of this writing) to get in on this Kickstarter. More funds pledged to the project means more stretch goals unlocked (and there are a few real cool ones very nearly in reach), and may permit us a larger budget to commission even more artwork.
Thanks again for your support! I'll post another update tomorrow with yet another peak at some of our art!
Many new stretch goals added!

So many updates added to main page--please take a look. I even got one more never before published book in there for you!
We will be adding many existing titles as dead trees on Backerkit (they will ship separately, so overseas folks plan accordingly). Response has been so overwhelming that we want everyone to have all the pieces of the Lost Lands.
Zach and I discussed the TFT deal this morning as well, and while we will not be ready to have material done with this Kickstarter, there should be news soon (like next week) on initial plans and offerings.

STEVE JACKSON GAMES and FROG GOD GAMES are excited to announce a new horizon for The Fantasy Trip! The Frog God Games LOST LANDS setting will now contain adventures and resources for those who want to use The Fantasy Trip in the framework of this ancient and storied world, filled with places to find vast caches of treasures or die trying! The first adventure in this series will be the Crucible of Freya, with many more to follow by popular demand. We are always listening to our fans, and there has been tremendous demand for a joint venture between The Fantasy Trip and the Lost Lands. Fear not, because it’s in the works right now!

We're in the final 65 hours, and stretch goals are crashing down!
We just hit $125,000, so PDF copies of the Player's Guide to Bard's Gate will be available to everyone at the $15 tier and above. We've already unlocked the Player's Guide to Barakus, the Player's Guide to the Sundered Kingdoms, the Player's Guide to the Northlands and the Player's Guide to the Blight. So if you're backing at the $15 tier or higher, you've got a bounty of PDF player's guides available to run in your Lost Lands campaign.
And...we just passed 1000 backers at the $15 tier and higher...which means that everyone at or above that tier will now get a PDF of Bard's Gate -- by itself, a $40 value!
The home stretch is before us, with the brand new adventure Isle of the Angry Apes at $150,000, and who knows what Bill will think of if we go higher still!
A huge and sincere thank you to all of our backers for your incredible support. We could not make this project happen without you. Keep telling your friends about the Lost Lands, get them on board, and let's see how far we can go!
Almost to the finish line!
