We have some great news to share for Metamorphosis Alpha fans. First, a free PDF for everyone who buys the oversized hardcover! And second, some very fun stretch goals that are now within reach.
First, the free PDF. As you all know, Metamorphosis Alpha is a 38-year-old property that was created before digital media existed. There is some history to the game, and to the licensing arrangements. Mr. James M. Ward is a great guy to work with, and he has helped us find a way to meet the customer requests for an electronic edition. If this project funds, every backer who purchases the hardcover edition (in "regular" cover, gold foil, or leather edition) will also receive a free PDF of the Metamorphosis Alpha 1E rules as currently published by WardCo. This is the electronic edition currently available for sale, which has errata integrated into the text. It's a nice accompaniment to the classic edition printed in the hardcover, and will provide a "table-friendly format" for those who have requested it. Game on!
Second, the stretch goals. As we close in on the funding goal, it's time to unveil some of the stretch goals. Here are the first four. Spread the word and help us get this puppy funded so we can add all these to the core pledges!
Stretch goal #1 at $32,000: GM screen. At $32,000, all backers who purchase the hardcover edition will also receive a 3-panel GM screen for Metamorphosis Alpha. It will include a mix of art both new and old, alongside all the tables you need to play. The perfect vantage point from which to slay your players mercilessly!
Stretch goal #2 at $34,000: Deck plans as 24"x36" poster map. By popular demand! Doug's amazing deck plans will be printed as a 24"x36" poster map, inserted into every purchase of the hardcover edition.
Stretch goal #3 at $35,000: Custom die. A custom-printed 6-sided die with radiation imagery. Shipped with every purchase of the hardcover edition. Scare your players!
Stretch goal #4 at $37,000: Additional adventure module. An additional Metamorphosis Alpha adventure module to be inserted into the hardcover edition! Including art and maps, produced to the high standards of all Goodman Games adventures.
And what lies beyond $37,000? Let's get there and find out!

Extra stretch goals added to kickstart
For those still uncertain as to whether or not to support the MA kickstart, it's worth noting that Goodman Games has added a few stretch goals to the project.
