You Shook Me All Night Long, Day #15
over 3 years ago – Mon, Nov 16, 2020 at 04:26:36 PM

Hey, Heroes supporters!


Believe it or not, we are now heading into the second half of the Metal Heroes and the Fate of Rock campaign. And we would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you who've chipped in and supported us so far!

Anyway, yesterday we reached strechgoal #6 BREAKING THE LAW. This adds the hardest difficulty level, “Super Freak”, to the rules:

Of course, there's more work to do here than just adding a circle to tick on the Metal Journal. You'll see!

Next up comes GARAGE BROS. at 7,000. This one will add an entire extra CD of music to the Metal Heroes Special Edition. It’s the debut album of a band who supported us making the very first German edition, having major impact on the whole project. And no, it’s not Metallica.

Later, at 7,400, HERE I GO AGAIN will add several new sections, all across the book. We've had some funny ideas which will add some more spice to the story.

And as an outlook, further on a waits BACK IN BLACK. I’m sure, with your support it’s just a matter of time until we reach that can reveal that one. But clever people probably can already guess what might be hiding behind this stretch goal.


Cheers,
Swen + FuFu


Sidenote: AC/DC has released a new album a few days ago... And it's not too bad for some ol’ rockin’ Aussis!

Another Goal Bites the Dust! Day #11
over 3 years ago – Wed, Nov 11, 2020 at 02:52:21 PM

Greetings, Heroes Supporters!


Tonight you helped us to surpass stretchgoal #5 YOU AIN’T SEE NOTHING YET, which brings FuFu into play: He will draw 2 new one-pagers (and hopefully there will be some more later).

Just 100 Euros away awaits the next exciting goal, BREAKING THE LAW. This one will add another difficulty level to the rules: The ultimate “Super Freak”, for players who like really tough challenges.

Since this goal is so close, I’ve decided to uncover the goal at 7,000 as well: GARAGE BROS. will fill the second CD slot in the case of the Special Edition by adding a complete extra album!

So there's a lot to look forward to — keep the fire burning!


Cheers,

Swen

Stones are rollin' again! Day #10
over 3 years ago – Tue, Nov 10, 2020 at 12:06:21 PM

Good evening, Heroes supporters!


First, let me greet the new backers (even if many of you may be old „Riders“, I guess. (And please excuse the spam mails today to all of you who were already backing Metal Heroes.)

Anyway, a few hours ago we reached the next stretchgoal PAPERBACK WRITER! So every book will be stamped and signed by myself to make your Kickstarter copy a little unique. Yeah!

The next one in line is YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHING YET at 6,400. Once reached, this goal will add 2 more full-page illustrations/comic pages to the existing artwork. (Now the real fun begins, FuFu!)

Let's talk about pledges: Again, the ROADIE pledge is full… until further notice I would say. Please keep an eye on sold-out limited pledges. Sometimes backers change their mind and they become available again.


That’s all for today,

Swen

Hi Metal Heroes supporters!

Unfortunately we can’t report a new stretchgoal today. Quite the opposite, in the last 24 hrs we’ve stopped dead in our tracks. It looks like the campaign’s lost a bit of its momentum.

Perhaps the circumstances these days are more difficult than expected. Therefore we could use your support to reach out to more gamebook readers, rock fans, comic enthusiasts and everybody else you can imagine on your social media sites, message boards, and band fan pages.

So many stretchgoals are waiting to be discovered!

Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud!

4th Stretchgoal smashed! Day #7
over 3 years ago – Sat, Nov 07, 2020 at 11:48:23 PM

Time for our next update!

One day, one Stretchgoal—that’s how we love it!

You guys smashed the HIT THE ROAD JACK goal, adding an extra 8-pages foldable copy of the Metal Journal. Here’s a preview of the item (only 4 pages of it): 

Next on the road is PAPERBACK WRITER at 6,100. This goal will add “real value” to the books by getting signed and stamped by ol’ shaky hands himself, yours truly.

BTW, the limited ROADIE pledge is available again, since one backer has upgraded to GOD OF ROCK. Even if it’s a bit back and forth, in this case I’m pretty fine with it! Congrats and thank you!

See you, Swen + FuFu
