Prototype Progress Update – Help Us Bring the Challenge Cards to Life!

– Tue, Nov 26, 2024 at 05:00:14 PM
Hi Allies!
We’re making exciting progress on Mastering the Game of Allyship! One of the key components of the game—the Challenge Cards—is coming together beautifully. These cards are designed to transform real-world challenges into actionable steps, empowering players to build their skills and create meaningful impact.
To take this to the next level, I’m working on prototyping these cards in physical form. Having high-quality prototypes will allow me to refine the gameplay, share visuals with backers, and ultimately ensure that this game exceeds expectations.
Here’s the challenge:
I need a compact photo printer to create and test these prototypes. Investing in this printer will allow me to iterate quickly and bring you updates on the progress in a much more engaging, visual way.
This is what I'm looking to get to pair with the BARs cards and NFC cards that will link to a page with more details on the challenge quests including data on how other people have overcome the challenges for inspiration!

How you can help:
If you’d like to contribute to this effort, you can make a donation via Venmo. Any amount helps, and every contribution brings us closer to a polished, playable version of the game.

I’ll keep everyone updated on how your contributions are being used and share behind-the-scenes looks at the prototypes as they come to life.
Thank you so much for supporting this project—your encouragement and generosity keep me motivated to make this the best game it can be!
Stay tuned for more updates,
Kickstarter Update: A Special Offer for Backers – Igniting Joy is Here!

Hey everyone,
First, I want to extend my sincerest apologies for the delay in getting Mastering the Game of Allyship into your hands. I know you’ve been waiting, and I truly appreciate your patience and support during this journey. I’ve been working behind the scenes to ensure that when I deliver this book, it will be everything you deserve—and more.
That said, I want to share some exciting news with you: Igniting Joy is now available! 🎉
You might be wondering how this connects to Mastering the Game of Allyship, so let me explain. Writing Igniting Joy unlocked something in me. It gave me the energy and clarity I needed to finish Mastering the Game of Allyship. The truth is, I had hit a wall, and I couldn’t muster the motivation to push through. I kept getting stuck—feeling like I couldn’t give the book my all.
What I realized is that emotional alchemy, the process of turning emotions like anger into creative fuel, was the missing piece. I needed to rev up my anger engine—not in a destructive way, but in a way that allowed me to power through the hard parts of writing and organizing this huge project. Writing Igniting Joy was my way of doing that. It reignited my passion and motivation, and now, Mastering the Game of Allyship is on its way to the finish line.
Igniting Joy is all about using anger, comedy, and emotional alchemy to help people do hard things—and have fun doing them. It’s the engine that fuels creativity, resilience, and boundary-setting. If you’ve ever struggled with procrastination, self-doubt, or hitting a wall in your own work or personal life, this book could be a game-changer for you.
And because you’ve been such incredible backers, I’m offering Igniting Joy on a sliding scale just for you. If you’re in a position to support the project further, I would be incredibly grateful for your contribution, but I completely understand if you’d prefer to access the book for free or at a lower cost. The only thing I ask is that if you do choose the free option, you share the book with your network—whether through social media, email, or word of mouth. Getting the word out means everything to me right now.
Here’s the link to purchase Igniting Joy at the sliding scale: https://wendellbritt.gumroad.com/l/Ignnitingjoy
Inside this book are many of the tools and techniques included in the MTGOA book. This is the fastest way to get started on your Allyship journey.
I know the world is really messed up right now and many of you (including myself) need a way to metabolize the anger at all the injustice in the world.
I hope this book inspires you, just as it has inspired me to get back on track with Mastering the Game of Allyship. Emotional alchemy is a powerful tool, and it’s been the key to unlocking the creative energy I needed to finish what I started.
BEFORE I let you go here are some VITAL STATISTICS on the Mastering Allyship Book:
We're at about 300 pages right now...which is....simply too long. It's also ACTUALLY a GAME now. I started off wanting to write a book about gamification, but surprising only myself it's actually turned into a full fledged game.
The book is essentially the GAME MANUAL of that very game, many of the pieces I've folded into the Igniting Joy Book:
BARs Deck, Unpacking Questions, and W.A.V.E are all going to be crucial pieces to the Mastering the Game of Allyship system. Also for all the Backers that purchased a Workbook. I have bad news. We're not going to be offering a workbook anymore....
INSTEAD you'll get a copy of the Mastering the Game of Allyship CARD GAME.
This is a game you can play in solitaire mode to learn how to be an Ally to yourself, and a multiplayer mode that simulates the experience of attempting to help someone else collaboratively. I'm very proud of it and excited to get it out to ya'll SOON.
I'll be DEMO-ing the Mechanics at Miss Bowman's School for the Socially Inept the first week of November in Berkely CA. I'm going to be recording those sessions and will be sending ya'll the recording so you can get a peek under the hood! If you're in the BAY AREA I'd love to be able to connect with y'all in person!
Thank you again for your continued support, patience, and belief in this project. We’re so close to the finish line, and I can’t wait to deliver something that’s truly worthy of your backing.
With gratitude,
Wendell
