We want to apologize for the fact that the pledge manager was not originally set up correctly...oops! Kobolds aren't the smartest. Luckily, all the issues we heard about this week are now resolved.
DIGITAL ONLY TIERS
All add-ons should have been visible to all backers, but originally digital tier backers were not able to see physical add-ons. That has been resolved and you will now be able to add on anything you'd like.
69 HOUR BACKERS FREE ADVENTURE
This should have originally already been loaded into your carts for free, but was not. This has now been fixed.
If you go into your Backerkit survey and do not see It's Always Orange in Philadelphia but you believe you should get it since you backed in the first 69 hours (up until 9am EST Friday 1/27/23), please contact us at [email protected] or comment below.
Thank you all for supporting Kobolds Ate My Baby not only on this campaign, but throughout the 24 years its been in existence! We are still amazed at the out pouring of love and excitement of silly little game, about silly little monsters. Thank you all so much from the bottom of Yeet's massive stomach.
In the last days tons backers jumped in and pushed us over the $100K mark (for silly kobolds??!) unlocking our last stretch goals! That means everyone $15+ gets the digital demo kit and all physical backers get the All Hail King Torg sticker! ALL HAIL KING TORG'S STICKER!
ICYMI, last night Yeet answered all your burning questions. Watch it now!
What happens next?
Pledge dollar processing finalized (about 2 weeks)

ORIGINS & GENCON
9th Level Games will have a booth at both conventions and will be running a lot of polymorph games including Mazes Fantasy Roleplaying, Return to Dark Tower RPG, and of course Kobolds Ate My Baby Orange!
ZINEQUEST
If you are not familiar with it, Kickstarter runs an event called Zine Quest each February. Creators convene to pore over comics, maps, and more—all under the aegis of our annual open call for small-format RPG zines.
Our project this year is by Arbitrio Games - PIGEON'S ELEVEN. A bird heist roleplaying game. Be birds. Do crimes.
Goal: $100,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
Wow, it's been a fortnight and our kobold hoard keeps growing. Thank you for backing!
