What to expect in November packages
🕑 Added 2018-10-11 12:51:47 +0000 UTC Lukibus reminded us of how helpful the upcoming preview posts were. Thanks for the reminder and I hope this helps.As we've said recently, the backlog of July - October packages are working their way out over the next few weeks, so you will be seeing a few packages back to back. Once that is done, November is next. November is the package that we are promoting now, as any new supporters will receive it as their first. And if you are a non-Patron that is interested, if you want November, you'll need to sign up between now and 10/31.
For new/potential Patrons, here's how things work:
On 11/1, Patreon will charge everyone. All Patrons that were charged will receive a November package. If you just started supporting after October 1st, then the November package will be your first package, as October packages were charged on 10/1. To make this slightly more confusing, Patreon calls these the October rewards, but we call it November since that's when it's scheduled to go out. Sorry for any confusion there. :)
So what's coming in November???
$5 Level
Timestamp - 2045 Geneva
We're shooting almost 100 years into the future, to 2045. As for what happens there, we should leave it a little spoiler free as everyone is still receiving the months before it.
Banned Books - Tom
There are a few Tom's in literature, and even in banned literature, but lets see if you can figure out the one we chose from the image. These aren't usually super discreet, but the guesses are fun.
Legends of Dsyx - Lockpicks
As we wind down the Dsyx series, you're going to have to pick some locks. There's some really cool engine building and codebreaking, making this feel much different than the other games in this series.
$10 Level
Expansions, expansions, expansions
We haven't done any expansions in a while, and we'll be doing a few in November. They are all pretty small, so we crammed 3 in one month.
Supertall - Wrecktar
Wrecktar is breaking free of Sprawlopolis and making its way UP the buildings of Supertall. This one card expansion puts some monster-sized pressure on your opponents.
Stew - Crows and Corn
A two card expansion for Stew changing up the way you look at the pot. The crows will eat the last item on the pot, and the corn is scored based on it's positioning.
Mint Julep - Win Place Show
Introducing some new ways to bet on horses, making an alternate path to victory. Your initial bet may not pay off, but if you can guess a single horse's ending placement, you can win big.
$20 Level
Our featured game will be Twin Stars: Adventure Series II. As always you can choose a different game from our library in it's place. Once the packages are about to ship out, we'll give you the option.
Twin Stars: Adventure Series II is the second in our series of solo space adventures. You control two characters, rolling dice and manipulating them throughout a scenario. The game includes 12 characters and 6 scenarios and has a ton of variability. $20 supporters will receive the wallet game and expansion, but the game also comes in a deluxe version. If any $20 supporters want the deluxe extras (dice, tokens and token bag), it will be $10. You can pledge at the Kickstarter, or I can provide a purchase link once the campaign ends.
Once again I hope this helps, and I'm making a note to have this out even earlier next month, and with MORE images. Talk to you soon!

The best I can say is maybe. Not sure what all the PnP plans are.
Jason Sanchez
Will a PnP be made available for Supertall: Wrecktar?
Matthew Mitchell
I don't think we have a PnP of these Stew Cards but I'll certainly check. For purchasing old packages, we intend to list them on the website at some point in the future. I'm not sure how soon that will be though.
Scott Myers
Heya, I just joined, and it's not at all November anymore. But I **LOVE** stew. is it possible to get any of these older promos? even a print and play would be super awesome.
Gabriel Ramirez
I still haven't received anything. It's been MONTHS since my last envelope. I've sent messages to you but haven't had a reply. What's going on? If you don't want my patronage say so and I'll leave.
Ryan Stauber
Just joined at $20 for November. I'm excited to hopefully stay at this level for all of 2019. Too many good games coming!
Mike Schröder
Thanks a lot! I upped to $12 (incl $2 for international shipping)
Matthew Mitchell
As of now, there is no way to do that. Your best bet would be to increase your pledge to $10 for this month, then change it again if you'd like to. Jason mentioned he was toying with a way of posting them for sale on his website. You can actually buy some of the older packs there if you dig around. Nothing from this year though.
Mike Schröder
Will $1 patrons be able to order these mini expansions somehow?
Matthew Mitchell
I don't know about those two specifically, but Jason did mention in the discord channel that he's working on getting everything lined up for next year including about 8/12 months containing some expansion material for existing games.
Matthew Mitchell
When I started (March I think) I had a "starter" pack. I'm not sure if Jason is still doing that. For now though, check the dropbox folder for banned books rules.
Clare Rea
Hi! I’m a bit confused... have received two packs now but thought I would get a “beginner pack” which would explain some of the ongoing games. For example the banned books thing - cards look great but not sure what to do with them. Is there something still to come or somewhere to get more info on them? Thanks (I’m at $10 level and in Australia)
Jose Garcia
Awesome! Some expansions! Any chance some new buildings for Ahead in the clouds or more desserts/bosses for arcane bakery coming down the pipeline?
Matthew Mitchell
Hang in there Douglas! Jason will post something for us to change our game of the month for $20 supporters.
Douglas Avery
Could I get super tall as my game of the month? Thanks!
Button Shy
Awesome! When it comes time for the survey this weekend, add this there. That’s the best way for us to have it at the time of fulfillment.
Lukibus
Hurrah! And in celebration have just backed the Kickstarter for TwSt 1 & 2 at Deluxe level - there's a nephew that needs some focus activity. If the p&p combinded for usual Patreon and Kickstarter delivery leaves enough for a set a deluxe dice, tokens and token bag for TwSt 2 it would be great to get that as part of the patreon/kickstarter thing - but that's only a fingers crossed hope.
