There is a town (Zelkor's Ferry), an evil temple and subdungeon (ribbett), a bunch of wilderness areas, another subdungeon with 6 levels for lower level PCs. Book will be textbook bound, stitched, and with a faux leather cover and silk bookmark.The rest of the schwag includes a battle mat, a DM screen, a map book, a bestiary, 3 extra bonus modules, a players guide and all the fluffy stuff like dice/bags/minis/shirts/buttons etc. Many don't care about the bonus stuff--but lots of people specifically asked for these items, so we added them. Sorry if I confused you Jon and Ash--I do get that its a bit confusing, but we have been scrambling to keep up with the pledge levels. The discounted other books are intended to 1) reduce warehouse space and b) catch up to Traveller. Prices return to normal post kickstarter--and its not signed and numbered copies.Next time we will definitely be better organized on bonus levels--we just had no idea.

Next time we will definitely be better organized on bonus levels--we just had no idea.I'm not confused by the pledge levels, you've just made me feel that this is no longer about product, which I still expect to be great.When I walk into a supermarket, I am manipulated by price offers, product placement, deals etc.My Mobile Phone company would have me leave Pay-as-you-go to one of a seemingly infinite number of tariff options, not really knowing which would be cheaper.An Energy Supplier tries to sell me a new product that makes my energy much cheaper as long as I use more.I try not to fall for any of the above. I don't like feeling manipulated. Yes I'm probably paying more than I could for my groceries, mobile and Energy. This Kickstarter has made me feel manipulated in a similar way. I like the idea of the product (a lot), but I don't want to now get involved.My local record shop gives me a nice comfy sofa, occasional cup of coffee, excellent advice and plays me music so I know what I might be buying. He has a price that is a little higher than Amazon, it doesn't change and I'm happy to pay a little more to help him stay in business while he offers me great service. Every now and again he gives me some promotional products from the record companies, yes because I spend money in his shop, but not because he is trying to get me to buy more, I buy 1 record maximum every time I visit and that doesn't change (ok I admit, I'm drawn in by Record Store Day once a year, that's my exception). John's Appendix N makes me feel like I'm buying from my record shop, I want to support that too.I can accept you don't mean to make your potential customers feel this way, and I don't really believe you are in any way like Amazon, Tesco, Orange or many other corporations. Just my thoughts on this experience. Who knows, I may still find myself tempted.
