New Baker Street RPG Wrapping Up on Kickstarter and Beyond Watson Stretch Goal #2

I've discovered that there is not one but two very cool Sherlock Holmes projects currently available on Kickstarter. One of the projects is ending soon and is almost at goal. The other, my own Beyond Watson, has passed its first stretch goal, and we have an incredible offer to help us reach our second stretch goal.

I'll start with Beyond Watson. We are currently at 33 backers for the project and are looking to get the number of backers up to 50. So, we need to get 17 more backers in just under two weeks. To do so, for stretch goal #2, if we reach 50 backers, each backer will receive a personal thank you e-mail from one of the book's authors. That's right! You could get a personal e-mail from Jack McDevitt, David Marcum, Derrick Belanger, Geri Schear, or another author in the book. And you don't have to give any particular amount to be a part of the reward. If 17 people backed us with just a dollar each, we'd still make goal #2. So, if you haven't backed Beyond Watson, pleasee check it out on Kickstarter and consider backing it today!

The second cool Sherlock Holmes project available on Kickstarter is Baker Street RPG: Jack the Ripper and Missions From Mycroft (http://kck.st/22nHalK). This incredible roleplaying game allows you to explore the world of Sherlock Holmes. I interviewed Kirby Young of Fearlight Games about this project and what fans of Holmes can expect from Baker Street RPG:

1. Your current Kickstarter is for your second Sherlock Holmes roleplaying game. After already creating one RPG game, What made you decide to create another?

Kirby Young: The new project is for a supplemental book and a second collection of cases for the original Baker Street RPG, so it's not really a new RPG, but supporting material for it.

2. What can players look forward to with this edition?

Kirby Young: Between the two new books, there are a bunch of new cases for investigators to solve, new Professions for investigator creation, and more Reprobates for the Mastermind to pit against the party.


3. You have some fun Kickstarter rewards for this campaign. Tell us about some of them.

Kirby Young: We have all of the variations of the new books in PDF or Print, Add-ons for any of the original materials, a few limited rewards where backers can be illustrated into the material in some fashion, and even a level where you can get everything we've created for Baker Street.


4. Any plans for future Sherlock Holmes RPG games?

Kirby Young: We don't know that we'll do any variations of the Baker Street theme at this time, but we're certainly going to keep creating material for new cases and for supporting our players.
