Did you know Yeld has a Patreon? Since February of 2020 the Yeld Patreon has been releasing new Yeld content every month! These releases have included larger expansions like The Black Mage Job Guide and Quest (that are also available for sale separately), and smaller Patreon exclusive content packs like Meanest Medusa's Dojo of Doom and Heroic Hounds!
Just a few of our Patreon content releases!
Here's a whole bunch of reasons why you should join the Yeld Patreon:
Getnew Yeld content every single month! Each month Nick and Jake create a brand new content pack for Yeld. These packs contain new art and background, new Monsters, items, quests, adventures, spells or even new ways to play Yeld!
A great deal! Subscriptions start at just $3/month, and include more than just our monthly Yeld content. We release 3 Yeld expansions every year, and these are included in your subscription! In 2020 Patreon subscribers received the Black Mage Job Guide, Shepherd Job Guide and Quest expansions as part of their subscriptions! Our next expansion, the Soul Thief Job Guide, will be available to subscribers in March! If you prefer books we'll even mail you expansions as they're released!
Get bonus content! Each month we host a Monster-of-the-Month contest, where subscribers submit awesome original monsters! We choose our favorite and create an official profile for it along with a new illustration. Sometimes instead of Monsters we ask our community to create a spell or holiday. This community content is available for free to all Yeld players! We also post monthly Behind-the-Scenes info, including new rules we're developing, interesting development stories and abandoned concept art.
Join the Yeld Discord! You don't need to be a Patreon subscriber to join the Yeld community, but the Yeld Discord is full of excited and friendly Yeld fans, eager to play games and talk about the newest Yeld releases! Find Yeld creators Jake and Nick there every day!
Support Yeld! Your support helps us keep producing new Yeld content and pay for expenses. Because of income for our Patreon we've been able to hire a part-time promotions team. Not only does this help us spread word about Yeld, but it frees both Nick and I to focus on actually creating content instead of spending time on twitter or Reddit.
Be a Cat! As a special reward for Yeld fans who back both our Patreon and this Kickstarter we've created the new Cat Friend Type. This is an all new set of rules, including new Special dice and art, allowing you to play a Cat in Yeld! This ruleset is available as an exclusive reward for backers of bother our Kickstarter and Patreon!

Lets talk about Stretch Goals and Add-Ons!

Hi everyone! our Kickstarter is off to a great start and will probably be fully funded very soon, so lets talk about Stretch Goals and Add-Ons!
Stretch Goals are extra goals that we can meet once the project is fully funded. Today we're going to talk about two Stretch Goals.
$500+ Goal: Boss Monster Parade. For every extra $500 we raise over our goal we'll create a brand new Boss Monster Encounter. Each encounter will include a new Boss Monster profile, new background and art, advice for using the Monster in your games and a special Treasure or Loot item that your players can win by defeating the Monster!
When the Kickstarter ends we'll compile all of these Boss Monsters into a PDF document that every backer will receive for free! So the more this Kickstarter earns, the more free content everyone will get! Our first Boss Monster unlocks at $7000, and then $7500, $8000 and so on!
$7250 Goal: The Sword Master Advanced Job Guide. If our Kickstarter reaches this goal we'll create a full Job Guide for the Sword Master Advanced Job! this will be a full color expansion featuring a new Job, complete with new background and art, new Job Abilities and Job specific Special dice, a new Quest and Mentor/Nemesis, new treasure and more! The PDF version of this expansion will be free to all backers, and the print version can be purchased as an add-on for $10.
We'll announce more Stretch Goals as our project continues!
Lets talk about Add-Ons! Add-ons are extra items you can add to your pledge by increasing your pledge amount. You can find a list of all of our add-ons at the bottom of the Kickstarter page. Adding any add-on to your pledge is easy. Just increase your pledge by the appropriate amount (in this case $6). After the Kickstarter ends you can select exactly which add-ons you paid for in Backerkit!
For example, if you pledged $55 for the Mermaid Hunters Box + the Rank 1 Adventure Set but you'd also like to get the Towns & Territories expansion, all you need to do is increase your pledge by the cost of that expansion ($10). Nice and easy! if you need help please contact us, or check out this Kickstarter Guide for changing your pledge!

Amazing first day!

Hello everyone! The Mermaid Hunters Kickstarter had a amazing first day, and Nick and I want to thank you all so much! We've reached 79% of our funding goal in just 24 hours, which is incredible!
Some of you know that this is the 2nd attempt to fund Mermaid Hunters. Our first try, in late 2019, just wasn't successful, and Nick and I were really worried that the same thing would happen this time. But the Yeld community has grown a lot over the last year, and we're happy that so many of you are excited about our game and eager to play it with your friends and families! Thank you all so much for your support!
Tomorrow we'll be posting updates answering some questions about shipping, using Backerkit and our first stretch goals. If you have any questions please contact us!
