🏁 Final Campaign Update: The Hunt Is Won, the Climb is Over 🎉 Thank You, Titan Hunters
3 months ago – Thu, Mar 26, 2026 at 06:41:12 PM

Titan Hunters, rally!

We’ve reached the end of the campaign, and I’m as grateful as I could be.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you. For backing, sharing, commenting, cheering us on, and bringing your friends into the hunt. Because of you, Titanbound didn’t just fund, it grew into something bigger, bolder, and more ambitious than we ever expected. 

Because of your trust, we'll be able to complete the book they way we intended: with tons of amazing, human-made artwork, incredible maps, and more content than we thought possible. All because of you.

Now that the dust has settled, I want to talk about the next big step: the Pledge Manager.

🧾 Pledge Manager: What It Is + What You’ll Do There

We’ll be launching the Pledge Manager (PM) in the next few weeks, so please keep an eye out for the notification.

Once it’s open, you’ll be able to refine and finalize your pledge, including things like:
  •  confirming your reward choices 
  •  adding add-ons 
  •  adding shipping info (when applicable) 
  •  and generally making sure everything is exactly how you want it 

🕰️ We’ll Keep It Open (So Nobody Gets Left Behind)

We’re planning to keep the PM open as long as possible, right up until the “last minute”, so everyone has plenty of time to finalize without stress.

It also means late backers will be able to jump in during the PM window.

🧗 Post-Campaign STRETCH GOALS?! Yes.

Because you all climbed so hard during the campaign, we’re not done climbing!

We’re planning to keep the stretch goals going post-campaign, so late backers can help push the project higher and unlock the final two stretch goals.


And yes, I’m going to say it plainly:

I really want you to have that Wastrel Luck Coin. 🌹💀

📬 Updates (Enough to Stay Informed—Not Enough to Spam)

We’ll keep you informed as we hit milestones and move through production, but we’ll be mindful about it—we won’t spam your inbox. You’ll get the important stuff, the fun reveals, and the meaningful progress.

🔥 What’s Next for Torchlight Creative?

A few people have emailed us wondering what might be next for Torchlight Creative. Well, I have good news.

Very (very) soon, we’ll be announcing our next two projects, and I can’t wait to hear what you think.

But I want to be crystal clear: our priority is finalizing Titanbound and getting it into your (digital or physical) hands.

So here’s my pledge to you: Our next project will NOT launch until Titanbound PDFs have been sent to you, and the final files are at the printers.

When the time comes, I hope you’ll join us for our next journey. Until then, we’re heads-down making sure Titanbound delivers.

Thank you again, Titan Hunters. You made this real—and now we get to build something worthy of the climb.

Onward and Upward,

Geoff

Minutes to go! Climb #8 Cleared: The WASTREL Slithers In (and we’ve got a GRAND FINALE for you) 🌹💀
3 months ago – Thu, Mar 26, 2026 at 05:30:53 PM

Titan Hunters, rally!

With hours to spare, we hit $60,000… which means Climb #8 is officially cleared and the Wastrel snake-dances into the party! 🐍✨



The Wastrel is equal parts charm and catastrophe. They’re the hero who talks you into trouble… and somehow talks you back out again, usually with a grin, a wink, and one last desperate press of luck.

In short: With the Summoner and the Wastrel added, Charisma is no longer a dump stat. And consequences have never looked so stylish.

But we’re not done.

Today’s momentum got me thinking about a true grand finale. So we’re setting the next two climbs right now… can we reach the ultimate summit? Because of you, I think we can!

🧗 Climb #9: $61,000 - Wastrel Player Aid PDF (All Backers)

At $61,000, we unlock the Wastrel Player Aid handout PDF—everything a player needs to create a Wastrel and start playing in minutes.



Clean, table-ready, and packed with:
  •  ancestry quick reference 
  •  full class features 
  •  the Wastrel’s full kit (spells/abilities/etc.) 
  •  recommended gear 
  •  neatly organized for fast play 

Hand it to a player and say: “Congratulations. You’re a problem now.”

Now, what's at the very top of this monumental climb, you ask?

🏔️ GRAND FINALE: Last Climb - $63,000: Wastrel Luck Coin (All Physical Backers)

If we hit $63,000, every physical backer will receive a limited edition Wastrel Luck Coin, custom designed by Dungeon Damsel’s Bunni Daniel (our incredible collaborators over at Druskara ).


One side: a rose.

The other: a skull.

Cast in rose gold color, this coin is not only way more fun than any old d2, it’s the perfect tool for those moments when you need to press your luck and drag the party out of a jam (that the Wastrel probably got you into). 🌹💀

With your help, we’ll bring this beautiful, limited-edition coin to life and give the campaign the kind of ultimate finale it deserves.

Let’s climb. One last time...

Onward and Upward,

Geoff

33 Hours To Go! Wastrel Class Within Reach + “Which Class Are You?” Quiz!
3 months ago – Wed, Mar 25, 2026 at 08:59:27 AM

Titan Hunters, Rally!

We’re closing in on the final 24-hour mark, and steadily making progress to the next stretch goal. Thank you for the shares, the upgrades, the late-night pledges, and the unrelenting climb. 

And we’re not done yet.

🏔️ We’re Making Great Progress Toward Climb #8: The Wastrel Class.

We are within striking distance of unlocking the Wastrel, a Bard who's gone off the rails.



The Wastrel lives on the edge of charm and collapse: a razor-tongued disaster who gambles with fate until their luck runs out. If you like characters who are equal parts style, danger, and bad decisions with oddly perfect timing… the Wastrel is for you.

To celebrate the final stretch, we’re dropping a fun little “Which Titanbound Class Are You?” quiz. It’s quick, it’s chaotic, and it’s a perfect thing to share with your group (or use to recruit your next player). 😉

👉 Take the quiz HERE. 

Then post your result in the comments: I want to see how many Relic Hunters and absolute Wastrels we’ve got out there.

🙏 Help Us Reach the Summit

If you’ve been thinking about helping us push this over the top, here’s the biggest thing you can do in the final hours:

Please share Titanbound with any gamer you think would love it.

 A friend who likes Shadowdark. A GM who loves throwing huge threats at players. A group that wants to face unstoppable bosses. Someone who loves climbing mechanics, desperate heroics, and “we’re doing this anyway” energy.

Every share counts. Every nudge matters. Let’s unlock the Wastrel together.

Onward and Upward,

Geoff

48-hours to go (just about!) - Climb #7 Cleared, Relic Hunter Player Aid UNLOCKED!
3 months ago – Tue, Mar 24, 2026 at 09:55:08 AM

Titan Hunters, Rally!

You did it again: we hit $53,000 with just hours to spare before the final 48-hour mark. That means yo've reached the top of Climb #7:

🏔️ The Relic Hunter Player Aid PDF is UNLOCKED!



This is a table-ready handout with everything a player needs to roll up a Relic Hunter and start playing in minutes—clean, organized, and built for fast play. Hand it to a player and say: “You’re the Relic Hunter. Go find something ancient.”

Next Summit Ahead! Climb #8: $60,000 - The Wastrel Class

Now we’re climbing toward the next big unlock:

🏔️ $60,000 — THE WASTREL
A dark twist on a bard; equal parts charm and calamity.

The Wastrel is the hero who walks into the dungeon like they own it, then walks out like they stole it. A razor-tongued minstrel who loves to push their luck. They swagger, gamble, and bend fate until reality blinks, standing on the knife's edge of charm and collapse.

And like a nine-life cat, they land on their feet… usually.

🤝 Reminder: Titanbound x Druskara Crossover (Dungeon Damsel)

Quick reminder about our cross-collaboration with Dungeon Damsel’s Druskara:

In short: back both adventures… and claim the crossover loot. So many Titanbound backers have already taken advantage of this offer, and both campaigns send you our undying gratitude.



Titan Hunters, we are entering the final stretch! Thank you for keeping this marathon climb alive and kicking.

Onward and Upward,

Geoff

🏺 Climb #6 Cleared: The Relic Hunter Is UNLOCKED! 2 More stretch goals up next!
3 months ago – Sat, Mar 21, 2026 at 06:45:36 PM

Titan Hunters, rally!

You did it. We hit $51,000, which means Climb #6 is officially cleared and the Relic Hunter has joined Titanbound!

This class has been one of the most fun at the table. Intellectual adventurers who're always on the hunt for magical items only they can find. And now they're officially part of the hunt.

But you know us…

We’re not stopping on this ledge. Grab your climbing kit, because we're still on the move!

Next Up: Two New Stretch Goals

🏔️ Climb #7: $53,000: Relic Hunter Player Aid PDF

At $53,000, we unlock a Relic Hunter Player Aid handout PDF for all backers.
This is a table-ready booklet with everything a player needs to roll up a Relic Hunter and start playing in minutes. Clean, organized, and built for fast play.



Hand it to a player and say: “You’re the Relic Hunter. Go find something ancient.”

Now with the Relic Hunter unlocked, that's a total of 11 classes in Titanbound. Which is an odd number... so let's go for an even dozen!

🏔️ Climb #8: At $60,000 you'll get a new class - The Wastrel

At $60,000, we unlock an all-new class: the WASTREL.

A dark twist on a bard; equal parts charm and catastrophe.



The Wastrel is the kind of hero who walks into the dungeon like they own it… then walks out like they stole it. A razor-tongued disaster, they swagger, gamble, and bend fate until reality blinks first. They CAN be lucky (sometimes). And, wow, do they like to press that luck, always taking things to the point of no return. Part Mat Cauthon, a dash of Jack Sparrow, and a big ol' shake of Axl Rose.

This is a class for players who want to add a bit of luck (both good and bad) and unpredictability to their adventures.

They stand on the sharp edge of charm and collapse. And somehow, they land on their feet… usually.

🤝 Reminder: Titanbound x Druskara Crossover

Quick reminder about our cross-collaboration with Dungeon Damsel’s Druskara:

In short: back both adventures… and claim the crossover loot. So many Titanbound backers have already taken advantage of this offer, and both campaigns send you our undying gratitude.



Thank you again, Titan Hunters. We cleared $51K together on a Saturday, and now we’ve got two more climbs ahead.

Next ledge: $53,000.

 Next summit: $60,000.

Onward and Upward,

-Geoff
