We've had a few people asking about the add-ons so we want to clarify the instructions for you all. Our add-on Packs are $6, so if you would like to add any you can simply adjust your pledge.
Select "Manage Pledge"
Adjust Pledged amount by the amount you want (add $6 for one, $12 for both)

That's it!
FUNDED!!! Stretch Goals and Add-On news!!!

FUNDED!!!
WOW! Thanks to you all, we're funded with still two weeks to go to unlock some awesome stretch goals from some of the most amazing indie designers in the industry. Our first stretch goal writer, Dominique Dickey, will be working on a new Haunting Tale and Character Archetype for ALL backers. This will be available in both digital and physical formats.
SOLO PLAY!!!
We asked all of you awesome backers about solo play in a previous update and just wanted to let you know that Doug and Julian have confirmed the game will include solo play rules for ALL pledges. This will likely be included in the core rulebook, and if there are any other additional cards required they will be included in the print and play files and all copies of the core game.
ADD-ONS
We have a TON of stretch goals which will be adding new material to the game for all backers, but we also wanted to give you all an opportunity, as backers to be able to get some really cool stuff for your support. We have a few add-ons which will only be available directly from Wet Ink Games, through this Kickstarter, or at conventions. Each of these will be $6 and can be added to your existing pledge by
The first is a Designer Promo Pack exclusively designed by Doug and Julian which will have a Haunting Tale and a new archetype. Nerdy gamers beware!
The second is the first Crossover Pack. Those of you familiar with Wet Ink Games may be aware of our World War One Horror game which was just begging for the Haunting Tales treatment, and the name only helped. Matthew Orr and Brandon K. Aten are going to dive in and create a horrifying experience bringing the two games together. Check it out.

KICKSTARTER LOVES US!
We don't know if you saw this already, but last evening we received notification that Home has been selected as a "Project We Love" by Kickstarter! Not only is this just a cool recognition of the fantastic work done by the creative team, but it can also help gamers more easily find the project if they're browsing Kickstarter or social media. That's great news all around.
Rook and Rasp Interview
We promised to share the link to the Rook and Rasp interview with Doug and Julian once it was posted. John from R&R shared it with us this afternoon. It's a quick, informative, and fun listen so be sure to check it out.
The team is being interviewed by Tony over at +1EXP tomorrow, and we'll be sure to share that once it's wrapped up too, so be sure to keep an eye out for these updates.
Lamination?
I know, it was a stretch, but I wanted to remind you all that we're quickly approaching the 500 backer goal which will unlock a full set of the laminated, reusable character sheets for every copy of the game. Keep spreading the word and we'll get there in no time. We're also nearing the main funding goal, and we'll be there before you know it!
We have some other really cool things in the works too, which we'll be announcing in a future update (potentially later this week). I'm sure you all can use your paranormal investigative senses and figure out at least one...

Reusable Character Sheet Bonus!
Hey everyone! We're so thankful for your support and will keep you all up to date as we make progress on reaching our funding goal. As a thank you, we wanted to let you know that we have a special bonus for all of you for moving us forward and spreading the word.
When we reach 500 backers, we'll include a full set of printed, dry-erasable character sheets in every copy of Home!
We'll have the mock-up to show you once we unlock it, but we really wanted you all to know how much we appreciate you.
Rook and Rasp Interview
As we mentioned in the last update, Doug and Julian will be on Rook and Rasp this evening at 6 pm Eastern. You can watch and interact live on Twitch tonight, and it will be on YouTube later this week. HERE IS THE LINK TO TWITCH!
Solo Rules
One of the most frequent questions we've received for this project is whether this game can be played solo. After discussing with the developers, we wanted to put the question to you all to gauge interest in solo rules variant So...
ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A SOLO RULESET? If so, please comment on this update to let us know. We'll definitely let you know what comes out of this.
Upcoming Events and a cool project by someone you may have heard of...

Almost 2/3 funded!
Thanks again for your support. We keep moving forward and will be unlocking stretch goals in no time. We have a great line up of talented designers ready to blow you away with some extra content for this game, and a cool way for this content to be delivered. Once we hit our goal, we'll have a larger post with more detail on that, but let me just say these goals will be PACKED with great stuff!!!
Upcoming Events
We wanted to let you all know early regarding some interviews and Q&A sessions we'll be having and getting to you. We'll be sure to post any links ad share all the content as soon as it's available.
First will be with the Rook and Rasp channel. John Thompson will be interviewing Doug and Julian about the game, their design strategies, and more!
Next will be Tony Vasinda of +OneExp who will be chatting with the crew and potentially demoing some of the relationship building and map building elements of the game.
Additionally (and you won't want to miss this one) the crew will all be together on the last day of the campaign doing a LIVE Q&A and hangout on the Wet Ink Games YouTube channel. If you want to talk about the game, horror, Indie design or just come hangout online while we count down, you're all more than welcome to join. This is something that we've done for the past few projects we've done and it's always a great time. (This will be SATURDAY November 12th from about 9PM to 10:15PM Eastern Time or so)
But wait, there's more!
KIDS ON BIKES 2ND EDITION
The kids are back… in this adventurous, pick-up-and-play, all ages role playing game! Are you ready for all new, big adventures in small towns?
Enhanced, with even more adventures, Kids on Bikes 2nd Edition is from the same creators, Doug Levandowski (Home, Aunt Agatha's Attic) and Jon Gilmour (Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game, Dinosaur Island) that brought you the original super versatile, ENnie award-winning system playing on top gaming channels everywhere (such as Dimension20, HyperRPG, Roll20 and more)!
Here are just some of the game experiences that are different in Kids on Bikes 2nd Edition to look forward to!
The Game Master section has been expanded! Everything from new compelling creatures to create, to collaborative storytelling devices!
The Powered Character rules are now adjusted for better ease of play
Fatal and/or violent altercations are also adjusted to allow for difficulty, age of players, and ease of play
Not only that, but intensity of play can now be decided on and adjusted each interaction accordingly (like one would in a video game)
And finally (but not only) Bike-ride-themed tools are now set in the game (thank you, designer Kate Bullock)!
Full compatibility with the previous edition including Strange Adventures #1 & 2!
Check out the Kickstarter for more (including a bunch of KS exclusives like specialty dice, Adventure Zines and more!)
