Hey everyone!
Thank you for making our project a reality! A few things need to happen before we can kick off production and fulfillment.
First, Kickstarter needs to transfer over the funds so we have the money to make the rewards (this can take up to two weeks).
Second, we have to get your DriveThruRPG account emails, and shipping addresses for non-digital rewards. We’ll send out a BackerKit survey to collect this information.
We’ll give you a heads-up before we send the survey so that you can watch for it. You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to answer your survey. The invitation email contains a link to your personal survey. It is important to submit your responses as quickly as you can since we need this information to process your rewards.
If you need to change your survey responses, purchase add-on items, or update your shipping information, you can click the link in your survey email again or request your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page. (This page will only start working after we send the surveys out.)
Answering your survey help us get your rewards out to you faster. BackerKit helps us save lots of time by streamlining the survey process, automating data organization, and providing us with pledge management software to make it easy to process your pledge.
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your crowdfunding account, the BackerKit survey link is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact me.
Again, thanks for all your support. We can’t wait to get your pledges fulfilled!
Cheers,
John & Nicole

We did it! And you really poured on the coal at the end. We're super excited about this campaign and the amazing adventure! Writing, mapping and illustrating is in progress to fulfill the stretch goals to make it as awesome as possible.
Stay tuned for more info, after Kickstarter updates on the next steps.
Thank you all again!!
And here's a sneak peek at the Gnobbit of the Trundlefolk lineage I sketched in Procreate today (one of the new races)

Woohoo! We're super excited to hit the finish line! We'll do another update after we cross over, with info on Backerkit and fulfillment. Right now I want to thank everyone, and once more talk about DriveThruRPG. For those who missed the last updated I'm just going to cut-and-paste the info here:
!!!Also of note!!! Please read the section on fulfillment by DriveThruRPG for those who are ordering print copies of any of our products. You WILL have to pay for printing and shipping on DriveThruRPG which goes to THEM. You're pledge here goes to us, and is for all the hard work and art we've put into the creation of the campaign book. We don't earn a penny from your orders at DriveThruRPG. If you don't want to pay for printing and shipping of a physical copy, please change your pledge to the PDF version (you can always print it yourself, though it won't be a beautiful hardbound book for your shelf). Even WE have to pay them for every copy we order. But in the end it is more affordable then having to pay the additional cost of freight from a printer in China, and you'll get the books much faster once they're complete. AND the quality is great. They are the biggest printer of RPG materials on the planet and have high standards.
Heading for the finish line! New art!

Hey everyone!
It's been a great campaign, and the adventure is going to be amazing thanks to you. New hand-drawn art is underway to make the book even more amazing, as well a new maps for the extra dungeon-crawl levels. We're up to 15 new monsters and counting, and we're working on the Pixie race. It's going to a great, great book! Speaking of new monsters, here's an illustration in-progress of a Naiad in her underground pool I started on today. Click to watch a 30 second time-lapse on Youtube!

Finally please check out one more awesome 5E Kickstarter that got our attention (and we backed). You HAVE to watch their promo vid! Hilarious! Here's a blurb from the creator:
Loot The Monster! - A Project that Grows with Every Backer
Hello everyone! I'm Ada—philosopher, historian, and an avid fan of role-playing games. I'm on a journey to find my niche in the world. 🌍
Have you ever been bummed out when you defeat a drow in your first encounter and their spectacular weapons turn into mere mundane items upon their death? It certainly frustrates me. 😞 To tackle this, I've created "Loot the Monster!"—a comprehensive guide filled with items and magical treasures that your foes might carry. 📖✨
Here’s what I've put together: a collection of 1,000 carefully themed items, including 100 magical treasures, spread across a 120-page book. 📚 I've organized these into 15 broad categories based on creature types, each with a D10 table for random selection. Additionally, I picked out 85 specific creatures and crafted a D10 table for each, where a roll of 10 always yields a magical item. The other items? They're common enough but come with their own quirks: each has a specific utility, a difficulty level to uncover that utility, and a set market value. 🔮
I'm also excited to share that I've designed a deck of cards featuring the 100 magical items, available through DriveThruCards, and the physical book will be fulfilled via DriveThruRPG. Being a seasoned Roll20 user, I’m taking advantage of the synergy between DriveThruRPG and Roll20 to also offer this as VTT material as part of the campaign. 🎲🖥️
Inspired by my friend Alma, who had great success and recommended it highly, I’m adopting her stretch goal approach: for every supporter, I’ll create a new item, keeping a steady 10% of them magical, complete with their own cards, to be included in the book, the VTT, and the card deck. 🌟
I’m thrilled about this project and sincerely hope you'll consider supporting "Loot the Monster!" ❤️
