Greetings witches,
We have awesome news, the Grimoire is officially unlocked! The Grimoire is the third and final coven artefact you can pick at the start of the game. It allows you to store your magic and cast magic easier with one another. The product itself will be a deluxe hard cover notebook with a custom print on the cloth covered front cover. The interior has a (faux) silk bookmark & lined pages.
The grimoire is available as an add on, and is added to the Coven Pact & True Hamster tiers for free! Check out all the witch goodies you can get at the Coven Pact Tier now:
If you back at the Coven Pact tier it currently gives a 44euro discount compared to if you would buy everything separate! And the True Hamster Tier gives a 54euro discount!
At €16,500 - We'll unlock a scenario by Kira Magrann, another multi award winning game designer! Kira's designed some amazing games including Something is Wrong Here and A Cosy Den, you can check out their Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/kiramagrann. Kira also wrote an amazing setting piece for Witch 1e, so we're super excited to have Kira back on the team!
Andat €19,000 - We'll combine all the unlocked scenarios into a printed booklet with some additional content and art! The printed booklet will be available as an add on, and added to the Coven Pact & True Hamster tiers for free! We'll also release the PDF to all backers at the PDF tier and higher :).
Artwork not final
If you kept an eye on our pervious update, you'll notice we upped how much we need to make to unlock this stretch goal (from 18.5k to 19k). We did this, because we wanted to add a small buffer for production after talking to our printers about the booklet. Our goal is to get you the coolest possilbe product and be sensible about how much it will cost :).
At €21,000 - We have another special guest scenario author, but we'll tell you about them once we reach the next goal!
Greetings,
Liz

Spirit Board UNLOCKED!
over 3 years ago
– Fri, Nov 11, 2022 at 08:51:16 PM
10.5k, we did it!
A huge thank you to everyone who pledged over the past few days, because we just unlocked our first physical stretch goal – The Spirit Board! This is the second of three artefacts a coven can pick at the start of the game to amplify their power. The Spirit Board allows you to speak to creatures you otherwise wouldn’t be able to, either because of they’re not in the Realm of Geb or because you just can’t understand them!
The Spirit Board itself is a 35x25cm wooden scrying board with a metal stork skull pendant symbolizing rebirth (much like the moths and butterflies you see on everything.)
The Spirit Board is available as a physical add-on for €30.
In addition, we’ve added two new tiers for you:
Right now, these tiers are just an easy way for people to switch and get the Spirit Board for an additional €30, but as we unlock more goals – those tiers are going to get tastier and tastier! Speaking of…
At €12,500 - we unlock a new scenario by Satyros Phil Brucato! Satyr is a luminary in the industry, one of the creators of Mage: The Awakening, and an incredibly talented author. We can't wait to see what he does for his scenario! Just like Sam's scenario, Satyr's scenario will be free and digitally distributed to all backers from the PDF tier upwards.
At €14,500 – we unlock the Grimoire! The Grimoire is the third and final coven artefact you can pick at the start of the game. It allows you to store your magic and cast magic easier with one another. The product itself will be a deluxe hard cover notebook with a custom print on the cloth covered front cover. The interior has a (faux) silk bookmark & lined pages. It will be avaible as an add on, and added to the Coven Pact & True Hamster tiers for free!
And I wonder what could be coming after that?
Till next time Fated!

Stretch Goal 1 - Unlocked!
over 3 years ago
– Wed, Nov 02, 2022 at 02:24:17 AM
Greetings Coven Members,
Good news! We've done it! Our first stretch goal at 8,500euro is unlocked! All Witch: Fated Souls 2e books will be upgraded with a (faux) silk bookmark and coloured end papers. Super exciting to unlock our first goal so soon and something that will give the book a richer feel and make for handy indexing!
Now, you're probably wondering, what's next? Were you able to guess what the next stretch goal was based on our last update? Well, your wait is up!
At 10,500 - we unlock the Spirit Board! This board will be a physical add-on you can add to your pledge. It's printed with the beautiful moth logo Lorena designed for the game with letters, numbers, blesses and curses for you and your coven to scry over. The board itself is wooden, 4mm thick, and comes with a metal bird skull scrying implement.
The final board is subject to change (we want to add some more art to the board).
Spirit boards in Witch: Fated Souls 2e help covens speak to beings they otherwise wouldn't be able to. Unlike 1e, we've given the boards a real mechanical punchand they are one of the starting artefacts covens can pick for themselves. Coven spirit boards become more powerful over time as their witches progress through life and learn new magic!
And the next stretch goal?
At 12,500 - we unlock a new scenario by Satyros Phil Brucato! Satyr is a luminary in the industry, one of the creators of Mage: The Awakening, and an incredibly talented author. We can't wait to see what he does for his scenario! Just like Sam's scenario, Satyr's scenario will be free and digitally distributed to all backers from the PDF tier upwards.
I hope everyone had a spoopy Halloween!

Funded in 24 hours!
over 3 years ago
– Tue, Nov 01, 2022 at 10:44:30 PM
Greetings beloved witches!
We did it! The books is funded! The team over here at AHP can't believe it's went so fast and we're incredibly thankful for your support with our new project. Witch is a game very close to our hearts. It's the game that created this company and one that we've wanted to revisit for some time now. However, the time had to be right! And Halloween 2023 was the perfectly spooky date to present our new game to the world!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
What's Next?
Well, to thank you for helping us fund all backers from the PDF tier onwards will get a custom scenario written by our very own Sarah (Sam)! You've seen her all over our social media making the company look good, but Sam is also a very talented writer. Not only is she a rpg author, but she's a poet too! We can't wait for you to see what her unique voice adds to the game.
The scenario has a run time of 3-4 hours, a full session of play, and comes with a premise, a hook, and various branching scenes to take your characters through. We'll stat up NPCs for it and ensure you have the tools to run it at your table!
AND this campaign is far from over, so I guess you are wondering about...
We have a lot of stretch goals, both physical and digital, to unlock! Here are the first two to get you excited.
At €8,500 - we upgrade the book! Each physical book will come with a (faux) silk bookmark attached AND coloured end-papers. They're a small details, but they'll give the book a real luxury feel. We want to make this book as beautiful of an object to own as possible so you get your money's worth and its outsides match its content!
At 10,500 - we unlock a new physical add-on for the game. In Witch, there are three artefacts covens can pick from to give them an edge: the Devil's Deck, a Grimoire, and a Spirit Board... What do you think this one is?
Wow, that's really vague isn't it?
So, if you're itching to summon these stretch goals into reality - please share our project with friends and family who might be interested! You can even use our special short link: http://bit.ly/wfs2eks. If you're sharing on socials don't forget to tag us (@angryhamsterrpg) and we will make sure to show you some love <3.
