Communication media expert Brian Fargo pulls out all the stops for the Bard's Tale IV Kickstarter:

We have less than $60K still to go to be fully funded! You all have helped us craft our vision of The Bard’s Tale IV and very soon, it will officially be a reality. As we get closer to E3, we’re going to be facing an uphill battle of getting the word out about the game. Gaming press will be covering the E3 announcements and The Bard’s Tale could get drowned out. This is where we need your help!!!

During the next few weeks, anything you can do to help spread info on our game will be paramount to our success. We have seen over the last few years the impact of our passionate fans and have no doubt that if you kick it into overdrive, it will be a massive boost to the project we all love. So share our videos, talk about it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, forums, or anywhere else you think there might be interest. If every backer got a single other person to join the team, we would be breaking records. So without further ado….Release the Kraken!!!

Calling All Adventurers

Let’s dust off those chairs in the Adventurer’s Guild and start exploring! We thought we’d do something fun, encouraging you to spread the word and giving you cool stuff to unlock by doing – including some bonus rewards as a thank-you to our backers! As we reach the milestones shared below, a story will unfold detailing our collective journey through the Enclave of the Fairy Host. Each time we complete an achievement, a new piece of story will appear, detailing the struggles and triumphs of the excursion. Along the way, we might even have some interactive decisions that will modify where we go. So here is what you can do to aid in our quest…
