We're excited to say that pin manufacturing is in full swing. We've received a few sample images from the factory already and wanted to share.
It's important to keep in mind that these versions of the pins do not have the final bit of metal plating around them. This means that some of the edges appear silver instead of black. OK! With that in mind, let's see some companions!
The Fox Companion
The Owl Companion (The missing plating has a large effect on this one)
CRAB!
We're excited to share with you some initial pictures from the manufacturing. The coins are coming out first and so far, they're looking excellent! They've definitely got some heft to them.
Animal Companion on one side, Dragon on the other!
Also, thank you to everyone who responded to the poll regarding Jimothy! We're going to plan on an additional campaign for Jimothy just as the poll results suggested. We're just working on fitting it in to our schedule.
In the meantime, please make sure to check out our upcoming Printopia campaign for Mythfall #1 & 2.
What if you told a lie that changed the course of history for thousands of years? This is the story of such a lie and how it eventually came crumbling down.
I realize that we said *Checks Watch*... two days ago that we weren't going to have a raccoon as an add-on in the survey, but I feel like ever since then my feed has been flooded with Raccoons. Specifically, this raccoon. The internet has dubbed him Jimothy. Jimothy is a small little guy doing the best he can. He has short spine syndrome, giving him a distinct round appearance.
Meet Jimothy
So...Dear Rangers I must ask.
1. Would you like Jimothy as an animal companion added to your survey as an unlockable add-on? 2. Should we do a "Make 100 campaign" just for the singular pin?
Animal Companion Jimothy (Design Not Final) - But yep, it flips down for tabletop too
Let us know in the comments and in the poll below. Regardless of the results, we will also be doing a second raccoon pin during the next campaign. The poll will be open until end of day Sunday EST and we'll officially add (or not add) the pin to the survey then with another announcement.
A quick update to let everyone know that the surveys are on the way. Y'all are fast since it looks like 14% of you have already filled it out! Thank you to everyone who got that initial smoke test and helped us work out some of the bugs. If you have any questions regarding the survey, please don't hesitate to reach out.
A few people have asked about the Raccoon and we did decide not to make it unlockable during the add-on/survey period. That being said, we will make sure the raccoon is available for the next campaign.
We'll also be collecting suggestions from everyone on what pins they would like to see next. Reading through the suggestions so far, a lot of you are looking to adopt mimics. Completely valid, but also slightly concerning. Are your characters safe from treasure?
Happy adventuring everyone!
Note: If you are paying over time, the survey won't be sent out until the very end.
We hope you've all been doing well in the last two weeks. We wanted to let you know that Surveys are going out SOON. We've got everything into the pledge manager and are just waiting for approval from the Backerkit team! From there, you'll be able to pick your favorite companions, pick out any add-ons, and if your pledge hasn't gone through fully you'll be able to fix it.
DiceGiveaway First up, we have selected the winners from the dice giveaway! We have a few dice sets to choose from, but they are limited so we'll be contacting people in order to see what they would like added to their pledge. If your name is on the list, keep an eye out on your email
Stretch Goal Designs Lastly, we know you've been waiting for the pictures of the last few stretch goals and we're excited to say we're ready to reveal them. Here they are in all their glory. They're pictured side-by-side to show the front base and the actual animal companion itself when folded down.
When surveys are officially ready to go out in a few days we'll send out another quick update to let you know. Thank you!
