Less then 48 Hours and we've hit another Stretch Goal! First I want to say thank you to everyone who's backed the project and let everyone know that with this goal we've unlocked both Last Call and Bottomless for Black Label!
Both sets will now be included with Black Label in plastic! These sets will help make Black Label the refined experience it's designed to be so thank you! And now for the new unlock!
The DrunkQuest Playmat! For years now people have asked for a playmat. Something that keeps the cards off the table and helps to protect them from spills! The mat is simple and clean in design and made out of the same thick rubber as a mousepad so it'll resit all liquid spilled its way! (please note this is not the final design) The playmat can be added to any tier through the Boozaar for just $10! But will come with the Party Starter Tier and above for free! We've also added a few other items to the Boozaar by request, take a look!
Also! We're currently sold through about 40% of Black Label so if you're wanting to add a copy to your pledge now's the time, once they're gone, they're gone!
Lastly For those still looking to get the Karl Redpath card (shown below) And haven't shared the project yet, please do! Sharing is pretty simple, if you're on Facebook just "like" our page and then tag us in your post @drunkquest to get credit. On Twitter you can mention @drunkquest or use the #DrunkQuest hashtag! Lets make these final couple days as amazing as we can, on to the 90k goal!

New Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Moving along into our third Stretch Goal! Thanks for continuing to back the expansion and it looks like Black Label is doing pretty well too! Our next Stretch Goal is another awesome reimagining of some older cards. We've learned a lot in the last few years, not just in game design but in graphics design and user design as well. And with that, we'd like to present...
What Last Call did for the Heroes, Bottomless does for Realms. Over the years We found that the Realms, while an awesome passive mechanic that allowed players to be rewarded for drinking. Were easily missed once the questing was well under way. We hope the new design and refined abilities will help them to get more use. We also love the new design, lets take at the classic design first...
Our classic designs are portrait, with the realm border and ability at the bottom. Little known fact, the reason that realms say "Kingdom" or "independent" at the top is because we wanted to future proof them. An idea had been to have cards that only effect certain Realm Types but during testing we found the cards didn't add enough to the game to be worth including in an expansion.
With Bottomless we went landscape to help separate them from your class as well as allowing the realm art to be much larger. Rather then having to read the small text to remember how many drinks you need to take its now prominently displayed on the banner graphic. We went through each ability on the realms and adjusted were needed. Most saw a significant buff, while some were already pretty powerful (looking at you Zinfendale)
The Bottomless Set will come with all 8 of our original Realms in the new Bottomless design as well as include 2 never before released bonus realms! This set will be included for free with anyone backing at the Happy Hour or above tier! Additionally, you'll be able to add this set and the Last Call set when the Boozaar launches next week!
Stay tuned for more updates and plenty more unlocks! The Boozaar will launch next week and allow for addons to any pledge and the next Stretch Goal also unlocks an addon for Black Label! Keep sharing the campaign and thank you again for backing!
BLACK LABEL

Unlocked! Black Label can now be made available to our backers. However we have an important decision to make! We're of 2 mindsets here at Loot Corps and leaving the choice up to you! We can add a new tier with some extras specific to Black Label and people can pledge to it. Or! We can release the Boozaar a bit early and have Black Label be an addon. Please sound off in the comments below, we'll read the comments over the weekend and then update the Page accordingly! Now lets take a closer look at what sets Black Label apart!
We've been to countless events, conventions and parties watching players experience DrunkQuest for the first time or the 100th. We've taken notes on things that worked well versus things that needed adjusting. We've refined our art style, learned more about visual design and game design in general. Black Label is the culmination of all that experience. Lets talk about some of the specifics on what's been done.
Visual: The first thing that will stand out as being new is the art and design. We went over each card and overhauled the art. Also overall we redesigned the cards so that their "type" would be immediately apparent. As you can see from this Permanent which are now fully orange rather then the small boarder stroke from the original. We also took the subtle texture of the parchment background and amplified it for contrast.
Mechanics: Some cards we found were either too confusing or not fun to play. So we retooled them or in some cases, threw them out completely. Aged Bottle was a particular card that we always thought was too clunky while also not really being powerful enough to be any use. Now, the longer you can keep this card in your hand, the more powerful it gets!
Additions: We've included the best cards from 90 Proof Seas, Status Effects, Boozter Packs and promos and on top of it we've added a bunch of brand new cards! Since Black Label was designed for DrunkQuest players who've already spent some time with the game we thought it would be a great opportunity to add some more depth to the game and some interests twists.
Monsters: Each Monster received an overhaul as well. Some had their values changed, all had their art redone and each one now has its own unique ability. We wanted certain monsters to have a "Oh Gawd!" reaction when they're drawn. We also realized over the years that the Monster deck was a little too large. So we've reduced it a bit to allow the Treasure deck to be even larger!
DrunkQuest: Black Label is the definitive edition for DrunkQuest and when we sell through the 1,000 copy run they'll be gone forever. Don't miss the opportunity to own the best version of the best drinking game ever made!
So! Please let us know in the comments you're thoughts on the two possible ways to get a copy of Black Label and we'll do the rest, thanks!
Also, on a side note. Remember that if you share the Porcelain Gods Kickstarter on your social media and tag us you'll get Karl Redpath for free!
Stretch Goals!

Funded in less then 24 hours and on our way to some Stretch Goals! So lets get into the update...
We've read your comments and your messages and it seems the favor led towards having Black Label as its own tier...however. A few of our backers are a bit more forward thinking and brought up a very interesting point
To which we thought..."That's...an excellent point." and something we hadn't considered. But we still liked the idea of having extras for Black Label. So! We have a solution... First! Black Label is an addon, and each tier may add it but! With an increased discount when added at the higher tiers.
Before going into the breakdown I should start by saying that because Black Label is 300 jumbo sized plastic cards it isn't cheap to produce. And having a limited run with a special box are also factors so when released Black Label will retail for $125. But we always try and give more to our backers because you're the ones making these things possible. So even if added at the Light Weight tier we're going to start with an almost 30% discount! The rest of the tiers are broken down as follows...
You can simply edit your pledge and add the amount if you'd like Black Label. When the Survey goes out it'll be a simple box you're able to check. The second part of this is the extras we'd like to do. We'll be offering them as tandem Stretch Goals meaning, when you unlock every other Stretch Goal for Porcelain Gods, Black Label purchasers will unlock something as well. :)
The 30k Stretch Goal is something we hope you'll like. And its something we've been wanting to do for a while.
Now that our heroes have been adventuring in the DrunkQuest world for almost 4 years they've gotten some experience under their belts. At 30k Backers at the Happy Hour tier and above will receive an upgraded set of our original heroes showcasing all that adventuring experience they've gotten over the years. We're calling this set...
We took each of the original DrunkQuest heroes and updated the card layout, the art for each character and of course updated their abilities a little to reflect all that time spent adventuring. Here's a little peek at one of our high level adventurers...
We'll get another update up once the goal is unlocked. Also! For our Previous Founders and Platinum members. We have a special way of showing our thank to you for throwing both your faith and your funds behind us here at Loot Corps. We'll be showing that off in the next update so stay tuned!
