Call of Kilforth, Day 1 - Funded in 10 bloomin' minutes!!
over 4 years ago – Tue, Dec 14, 2021 at 11:37:04 PM

Hello there and welcome to the beautiful lands of Kilforth!

I'm honestly struggling for words today because this has been crazy...

£117,881 pledged 1178% funded 927 backers 23 days to go!!!

This is a record-breaking Kickstarter for us and we are absolutely thrilled to bits with the support you have shown us. If we had ended the campaign on these figures we would have been delighted, so to finish the first 12 hours at this level is an unbelievable achievement. 

Thank you so much.

I think it's also a glowing testament to the enduring appeal of Gloom of Kilforth and Shadows of Kilforth, which were together very recently voted into the 1PG top 100 games of all time for the 5th year running. As a designer it's literally a gift for me to be able to return to this world I've spent decades developing, and to work with the best artists in the world to breathe magnificent new life into every character and landscape imaginable. And the Dungeon Master in me gets giddy with excitement to see so many people enjoying adventuring in my alternative home world! :D

There are tons of new faces here today, as well as many legends who've been with us from the outset of our journey, and you are all most, most welcome. Francesca and I have been running Hall or Nothing since 2015 and to watch it grow from the seeds of a scrappy albeit bold first Kickstarter campaign which took 27 days out of 30 to fund, right through to our 9th campaign which funded in 10 minutes? Well that journey has just been, as our friend Jason Brown points out, incredible:

So wherever we go from here, I just want to say thank you again so much for joining us, and we have such beautiful sights to show you.

Have a brilliant rest of the week, and season's greetings from the Team at Hall or Nothing!
