Ad-Libs = in the box!
Happy almost-weekend, everyone! Thanks so much for backing Blister Critters and making our weird-cartoon-animal dreams come true.
We've now raised enough funds to unlock The Book of Ad-Libs —thank you, thank you, thank you! That means this fun play-aid will be added to every Blister Critters Boxed Set. That means you get more useful Stuff at the same price!
And that means we're announcing a new stretch goal…
Blister Stickers × 2
Tony and I love stickers, and everybody loves Tony's art. So we couldn't resist: every Blister Critters Boxed Set comes with one sheet of stickers already.
But, if we hit our next stretch goal, we'll add a second, different sheet of stickers. That's, what?, twice as many stickers, by my sticker-maths!
Here's a preview of what we're talking about:
Note, you'll already have Critters on the first sheet of stickers, so the second sheet will offer more Stuff, environmental elements (Phases of the mutating sun), and even wee little sticker character sheets!
Please help spread the word and unlock these stickers!

Funded day 1!
Thank you so much to everyone who backed us early! Tony, Wythe, and the team have worked so hard to create, playtest, and perfect Blister Critters, and it means everything that we'll definitely be able to print the book and cards.
At the end of the day, we're indie creators who are reliant on crowdfunding. All we want is to make high-quality, fun-to-play games. And we can't do it without you!
If you know a cool, games-enjoying person who might like Blister Critters, please spread the love! We truly appreciate it.
Stretch goal #1: The Book of Ad-Libs
We are now scurrying toward our stretch goals, of which we have many planned. First up is the great Book of Ad-Libs, which will be a 52-page addition to every Blister Critters Boxed Set.
At the beginning of each episode of Blister Critters, the GM and players can agree to use the Ad-Lib rule: the players will then generate a very random infomercial for a canonical product in the game's Critterverse, which can then be brought into the game as Stuff. Encountering this special Stuff lets the Critters then regain pool (health and grit)!
(Many of you have probably filled out an Ad-Lib or two with your buds when you were younger. Update: it's still fun!)
This is the sort of goofy but functional and mechanics-extending rule is exactly why we're so excited to be publishing Tony's take on the Grit System. We hope we're able to add this lil book to the Boxed Set, and we can't wait to see some of the sponsored Stuff y'all come up with!
