Thank you all so much for supporting our dream of bringing Manifest to life! We've been working so hard for a very long time to make this amazing and inclusive RPG a reality!
We've got a couple more days to go, so it is definitely still crunch time for us here at Waypoint Game Designs because we want to hit all the amazing stretch goals that we can for you folks!
We've got so much on the horizon for you all, the quickstart guide, the Discord, upcoming events at conventions, and the announcement of more stretch goals and add-ons!
But before all that, we've decided to celebrate the end of the Kickstarter campaign with an 8-hour livestream on Kickstarter Live, starting at 6am (so early) on April 1st! We promise it's no joke!
On this interactive livestream we'll answer your questions, give you some cool previews of what's going on behind the scenes, and play some Manifest!
And we'd like know what drifter archetypes you'd like to see us play! So go to our poll and vote now!
Thank you all again, Manifest is happening because of your support, we love you all so much and we'll see you on the livestream!
Artist Spotlight: Crystal Sully

We’d take a moment to gush about another artist that we are so excited to be working with, Crystal Sully (@crystalsully)!
Crystal has signed on for the monumental task of bringing the fearsome critters of Manifest to life, and we can’t think of anyone who is a better fit for the job!
The critters of Manifest are mostly based upon the animals and cryptids featured in the legends, folklore, and ghost stories of the Americas. We wanted the creatures of the Manifest bestiary, to seem familiar but distinctly alien, and luckily for us, Crystal has the immense amount of vision and talent to blend the line between fantastical and realism without even breaking a sweat.
Crystal has spent years developing her craft, creating monsters for seemingly all the top names in gaming. You can see Crystal’s prodigious talent come to life in her upcoming book of monsters The Untamed Bestiary!
We’re so blessed to have added Crystal to our list of artists, and encourage all of you to go check out her fantastic work and perhaps snag a pre-order for The Untamed Bestiary out later this year!
Approaching the Halfway Point!

We've officially reached the halfway mark of the campaign, and with Manifest already two-thirds funded, we're well on our way!
First thing we want to do is thank everyone who was able to join us for the Kickstarter Livestream demo. Playing Manifest is always a blast for us, and getting to share it with all of you was amazing! You all asked excellent questions, and hopefully got a much better picture about what it's like to play Manifest, how the Fistful of D20s engine works, and where the Manifest team would like to go from here!
And for those of you who weren't able to make it, never fear! The video is now available on Manifest's brand new YouTube channel!! We've only got the one video up at the moment, but in the future, all our livestreams and any other video content will also be posted there. So if you missed out on watching it live (or want to watch it again!) you can still tune in!
The other update we have for all of you is now that we're at the halfway mark, we've posted the first few stretch goals for Manifest on the main page! But if you're reading this, you don't have to go searching for it you can just scroll down to take a look!
Once we meet our funding goal, we'll be revealing more of the stretch goals we've lined up. We'll also be going into greater depth about what each stretch goal is. For now, we don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves.
With that in mind, here's a little bit about each of the revealed stretch goals:
2:13 to Waypoint Module
Our first official (and kickstarter exclusive!) Manifest Module. It involves bandits and a high stakes heist, all while traveling across the badlands of Manifest in a high speed hover train!
Waypoint Lore Guide
This guide to the capital of drifters includes everything you need to know about the largest settlement in the badlands! From important citizens to the locales every drifter worth their salt knows, this guide contains everything you need to posse up and get your own Manifest campaign started.
Additional Art and Upgraded Book Quality
We've already lined up some astounding work from our artists, but we want want more! Everything from drifter portraits to the critters of Manifest, our artists will bring this world to life in the most amazing ways!
If we reach this stretch goal we can enhance the beauty of this book even more by including a heavier glossy paper, and a higher print dpi quality.
Thanks to everyone for all your support, and remember to keep getting the word out! <3

We're over half way to being fully funded! Thank you all so much for your support!
We've had some really great questions coming through the comments and messages, as well as on Facebook and Twitter. So in celebration of hitting the halfway mark, we'll be doing a Kickstarter Live stream on Wednesday (March 6) at 9 ET/ 8 CT!
Our live event will be a short demo with Tommy at the helm and Addie & Sean F. (one of our playtesters) taking on some iconic drifter roles. After the demo we'll be answering your questions for as long as you ask them!
ALSO, now that we're over 50% funded, keep an eye out because very soon we'll be listing the first few stretch goals, which we are so stoked to share with you!
Here's the link to the Kickstarter Live, tune in on Wednesday to see what's going on!
Thank you all again so much, we love and appreciate you and all your support! And remember to share Manifest with your friends, family and community. You are the best way to get the word out and get us all the way to 100% and beyond!
