Liz and John
At $11,000 we unlocked Liz's Mission in the cursed vinyard. Her Mission Folio is added to an already awesome growing list of excellent missions for all of you players to enjoy. This level also unlocks another adversary for the core book. (Geez! If we keep unlocking these adversaries, we might have to make some kind of beastiary or something...)
Up next is the fantastic and talented John Kennedy.
"The war in the Alps is grinding on, as massive artillery barrages are exchanged between mountain peaks while the vicious winter winds make life unbearable. During the night, a freakish storm filled with bright red lightning ravages through the mountains and when dawn breaks a cliffside has given way revealing the remains of an old castle. The soldiers are sent to investigate this ancient castle, only to find the horrors trapped within are all too eager to escape.Who will sit on the Throne of Storm and Bones?"
John D. Kennedy has also worked on the Infinity Tabletop Role Playing Game, Nighty Knights (now on Kickstarter!), Wild Skies: Liberating Strife, and Ninja Crusade 2nd Edition. When not working on tabletop role playing games he works with rescuing animals on the Eastside of Indianapolis as well as writing comics and novellas.
Armistice Day Commemoration
We are completely blown away by the support this community has thrown behind Never Going Home, so the fact that we not only met our goal of $11,111 by the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, but also met it 4 days early is simply astounding! By achieving this goal, we are able to include another Mission Folio which will be written by Brandon K. Aten (or another hand selected creator, based on availability). This folio will include a piece of artwork created specially for this Mission Folio, and which will be made available as an high quality art print as an add-on. We hope to show draft progress on this piece on Armistice Day itself.
Stretch Goal Progress
If you take a look at the update Stretch Goal list below, you'll also see that we have revealed Alan Bahr of Gallant Knight Games. In addition to Alan, we have some great writers and designers lined up.

Upcoming Goals
For those of you in the United States, we deliberately didn't send any messages or updates yesterday so you could focus on participating in the elections, if you saw fit to do so. We managed to keep moving forward towards our next stretch goal, and we're about $450 away from unlocking Liz Chaiparditkul's excellent Mission Folio and a new adversary which would be added to the main book.
If you've been paying attention, we also announced a special goal which would add an Armistice Day commemorative Mission Folio and art print add-on if we make it to $11,111 by 11:00 AM Eastern Time on November 11th.
These two goals are so close together, but they'll be great additions to the project and will help keep the momentum going. Please spread the word about the project so we can make sure these are met! We've included some additional art here you can use to promote.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comments section, but we also want to start getting some conversation going there. So, if you can, go over there and answer one of the following questions:
-
What about the project are you most excited about?
- Had you heard about the World War Occult art project prior to this campaign?
- What other RPGs or games do you like to play?
Thanks so much! You all are fantastic.

Another Stretch Goal Reached!
And just like that, another stretch goal has been reached! Ben Woerner will be writing his Mission Folio and we'll be adding information on the Eastern Front of the war into the main book. You all are fantastic.
Next up is Elizabeth Chaipraditkul who is tackling the next Mission Folio. Liz is the head hamster at Angry Hamster Publishing where she creates awesome stories in far off places. She's worked for companies such as John Wick Presents, Magpie Games, Gallant Knight Games, Khepera Publishing, and Third Eye Games.
"The soldiers are sent to a vineyard south of Verdun where locals of Dupont report being harassed by enemy forces. It’s a simple mission - stop the enemy and report back. Yet things have soured in the vineyard and your mission may not be as simple as you once thought. Find your way out through before you learn the true meaning behind the local song, “The Sorrow of Dupont.”
We're glad to have Liz on board!
What else?
Aside from the mission folio Liz will be writing, we will also unlock another adversary which will be added to the main book. We wanted to point out a few of the other upcoming PHYSICAL GOALS which you might have some questions about.
Character/Campaign Journal: This is a 48 page notebook insert similar to the "Field Notes" books found on Amazon and other book retailers. This book will more than likely be 5x8 and will include 6 character sheets, each followed by campaign notes pages so you can document your adventures. At the $12,000 level, one of these will be included in every Deluxe pledge. These will also be available as an add on to any other pledge at this level.
Mission Folio Book: At the $15,000 level we will combine all of the unlocked Mission Folios into a physical book which will be added to every Deluxe pledge. This will continue to grow as we unlock more Mission Folios through out the campaign, and will include the special Armistice Day Mission Folio if it is unlocked.
These are both exciting products and we would love to get them in your hands!

The Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month...
The armistice between the allied nations of World War One and Germany began at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. This year is the 100th anniversary of the cessation of hostilities, and we wanted to do something to commemorate this event.
If we make it to $11,111 by 11 AM Eastern Time on Nov. 11th, we will include a special digital Mission Folio with new artwork specifically done for this event. High quality art prints of the piece will be available as an add-on available ONLY through this Kickstarter.
We feel that not only is this a realistic goal, but this is a opportunity to add something special to the project for all of you backers who have supported this project. Be on the lookout for more information about this as we get closer, but also a more reflective post about Armistice/Remembrance day on November 11th. Thank you.
Stretch Goal 2 UNLOCKED!

I woke up this morning to see Craig Campbell’s Digital Mission Folio and another new adversary for the main book has been unlocked! This is great! We are tearing through the goals at a pretty good pace and I can’t wait for you to see all the others we have planned.
Stretch goal 3 will bring Ben Woerner into the fold. Ben is a fantastic designer and writer and owner of Woerner’s WunderWerks. He’s worked a number of excellent games like Wrath & Glory, 7th Seas Pirate Nations, and World of Dew: Samurai Noir RPG. He currently has a project on Kickstarter now about stuffed animals defending their children from the terrors of nightmares, Nighty Knights.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/381911690/nighty-knights-the-rpg
Ben will be working on a mission where the players are sent to investigate a airfield which has fallen out of communication, only to find it isn’t as abandoned as initially thought. Ben’s grasp of history and knowledge of the subject matter are really going to make this mission sing!
For the physical half of the goal, this stretch goal will also see a big chunk of new material about what is happening along the eastern phone added to the core book. This new material will add historical information, key battlegrounds, and a number of new avenues of adventure!
