All,
We are just over a week into the Paragon: Trials of the Chosen campaign, and we are 113% funded and continue to bring in new players every day! We firmly believe the campaign will continue to grow, and we are looking forward to introducing and unlocking new stretch goals.
To do that, we are asking for your help and help from your gaming groups. As any Kickstarter fan knows, getting attention and grabbing headlines is key to explosive growth, and one website that does this well is Kicktraq. We are asking each of you to take a few seconds out of your day and go here:
https://www.kicktraq.com/projects/midwintermages/paragon-trials-of-the-chosen-0/#chart-daily
Once there, simply hit the "share" button and share to any platforms possible, and hit the green "visit project" button. Even though you are already a backer (or intend to be), creating this traffic will help us make it onto the hot list on Kicktraq. If we get several doing this each day, we can bring in even more to support Paragon.
It means a lot to us to have so many interested in the game, and we are certain that we have created an innovative card game that sets many ECG and CCG conventions on their ear. We are looking forward to many more days of bringing in new folks to join our growing community and hearing from all of you about what you would like to see in stretch goals or hear from us. Let us know in the comments and message us with any questions.
Thanks again for the energy, enthusiasm and for helping us spread the word.

Looking Forward and Back

As we celebrate Paragon's future, we thought those of you who are making that future possible might be interested in seeing some of the game's past.
Earlier versions of the Avatar cards looked quite different from where they are now. For example, when we finally confirmed Skye's portrait, we horizontally flipped it because the orientation of her sword, when viewed with the stats banner on the side, creates a natural frame around the card.
You can also see several changes in the way her effects function from version to version. Originally she could only become stealthy, but later we gave her and other single-discipline Avatars another effect in order to help with balance. Additionally, we removed Avatar Energy from the most recent version so we could simplify the game in areas that we felt were overly complex.
Thanks to each of you for being a part of Paragon's campaign and history!
100% Funded and New Stretch Goal

Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you. Thank you so much. We hit 100% tonight, and we are absolutely thrilled. The support, messages, kindness, and overwhelming generosity have been amazing. We believe in this game, and we know that it is a unique approach to a genre we all love--we will make your pledge and support of Paragon absolutely worth it!
With that in mind, we've introduced the first of what we hope will be many stretch goals. We plan to do these in $2500 increments, and at $7500, we are offering a set of foil cards that represent a card from each discipline that is emblematic. These cards will feature some of the Paragon's great art and will look fantastic on the table. We believe many of these cards will be favorites, and that little extra bling goes a long way!
With 25 days left to go, we have plenty of time to bring more people in and continue to build this audience--but we certainly could use your help. Spreading the word through your social media and your gaming network is tremendously appreciated.
We're having a dram of Kentucky Bourbon to celebrate tonight! Thanks again--we're tipping one to all of you as well!

We have just passed the second day of Paragon's Kickstarter, and we are just shy of 2/3rds of our funding goal! We are up over 50 backers, and we have a ton of people following the game. Again, thanks to all of you for backing and the support.
We are working overtime through the holiday weekend to get the word out and get new reviews and videos out to the public. We deeply appreciate the continued efforts to help us spread the word!

All,
We are just over one day in, and we've hit over 50% of our goal! We are very excited about the initial success, and we can't thank all of you enough for the support and for getting behind Paragon.
We are confident that we will fund, and we do have some stretch goals that we will announce once we hit our 5k funding mark. Please continue to help us get the word out, and please don't hesitate to send us questions or comments!
