Greetings everyone, we've just sent out all the Backerkit surveys to gather your information and give you options to add-on to your orders. If you don't receive your survey or lose the email, you can use this link: Backerkit Recovery Page
As always you can also email us at [email protected] with any questions.
We'll keep the Backerkit open until April 30th before we lock orders. There are many, many add-ons: all the books in the Monster Series, Game Master handbooks, notebooks, t-shirts, etc.
In the meantime we're hard at work designing the last monsters and working on the text! We usually update at least once a month after this point. Thanks for coming on the journey.

Backerkit Coming Soon

Hey everyone, thanks for coming on this journey. We're finishing up the Backerkit survey right now and it should be ready soon. You'll get to look at add-on items and give us your shipping information.
Kickstarter is still finalizing the pledges will let us know the actual total pledged shortly. At this point, a number of pledges didn't go through. This will likely mean that we won't be able to unlock the Endsheets Stretch Goal.
Once we've sent out the Backerkit we'll get back to designing monsters and finishing the text.
Here are some of the add-ons:
All the hardcovers and PDFs in the Monster Series
Night Steed t-shirt (from Monsters of the Underworld)
Black Unicorn notebook
Funded! Thanks Everyone!

Thank you to all 878 backers! This is our biggest Kickstarter yet! We are inspired to make our best book yet!
Here's a general summary for the next steps:
Kickstarter will verify pledges. This whole process can take two weeks
We'll look to see if we can unlock the third Stretch Goal. It was very close
In the meantime, we'll begin setting up the Backerkit. You'll receive a survey (through Backerkit) that will gather detailed info and give you access to a selection of add-ons
After the Backerkit is finished, we'll email all the older PDFs
Our design team and editors will soon begin working on designing some more monsters and doing the text. 120 monsters will be spread across seven regions
After the text is done, Gordon will get to work on the layout
Once we have the layout complete, we'll bring in Travis to do the art. Although he is involved in the initial design process as well
Then the book goes back to the Gordon and the editors for the final touches
