Great news! The minis are done and making their way towards us. That means it's time for the pledge manager. I started the smoke test today, meaning a select few folks got their surveys. If you are one of those folks, do me a favor - KEEP QUIET ABOUT WHAT YOU SEE! It's meant to be a surprise. 😈
This campaign has been... weird. I haven't been sleeping well. I've had strange dreams, but I never remember what they are when I wake up. I just keep having this feeling that it'll get better once I get these cursed things out the door, but we'll see.
Okay, that's it for now. I'll keep you all posted! -James
This has been a great campaign and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. It's also been one of the most fun that I've ever ran. Y'all were a blast. I loved the comments and the voting.
As you know, the campaign was a success! Everyone is going to be getting some minis!
We've sent 90% of the files to our manufacturer already and hope to get the last ones in this coming week. We'll keep you posted when we have an ETA, but we're pretty sure it'll be long before the times we listed in the campaign.
In a few weeks, I'll launch the pledgemanager. That's where you'll get to pick your minis and pay for shipping. All of the single minis unlocked during this campaign will be available there as well, so if you wanted an extra cultist or a few more demon hunters, you can grab them there.
Now, I know some of you are sad that we didn't hit the achievements for the Tiefling or Orcus. I feel you. They were pretty rad.
The dark ones have been banished from our mortal plane for now, but don't worry - those infernal ones act in the shadows. They're never truly gone. 👀
Talk soon, -James
PS. Sorry this is a day late. I've been unpacking in my new place and I am wrecked.
The end is nigh! With but a few hours left, we have hit another achievement -
The Chaos Lord has been Unleashed!
We're getting quite the end of campaign push right now, so anything is possible. Up next at $20,000 is the Tiefling. We're creeping in that direction - let's see what happens!
But there is one last stretch goal and now is the time to reveal it.
**Cue the Infernal Trumpets**
I have been informed that our last Achievement is not some sort of infernal whale, but instead is the one, the only...
Demon Prince of the Undead, ORCUS!
To my knowledge, this is the BEEFIEST miniature we've ever made. I absolutely love Mustafa's take on this guy - he looks so evil. This thing is nightmare fuel.
Now I know $25000 seems far away, but for those who haven't used it before, Backerkit has this neat feature. Every time someone pledges during the last ten minutes of the campaign, it extends it. This can go on for hours, or even days. We might just see a miracle of the damned yet.
If you wanna see this guy, post about this campaign anywhere you can. All backers are getting at least six free minis at this point. This is wild!
Let's see how things go as the clock ticks away the minutes 'til the unholy hour of midnight.
Tomorrow is the last day for Bekir’s Battlers - Hell Unleashed.
That's right - we're almost to the final 48 hours.
I wanted to check in with you all and tell you what everyone who backs this campaign is getting for free. It's wild to see it all in one place.
Let's take a look.Free Chaos Knight Mini
Free Demon Hunter Mini
Free Marilith Mini
Free Pit Fiend Mini
Free Balor Mini
Not only that, we’re starting to hit the end of campaign bump. We’re SO close to two more of our stretch goals - the Chaos Lord and the Tiefling! (Not only that, but we have one more stretch goal to announce - and this sucker is MASSIVE)
Want a clue? It's a certain whale. I think. I don't know, someone told me they wanted a whale. (If you REALLY troll through the comments on this campaign, you might figure out who I'm talking about.)
If you tally up all those free minis, that’s more than an extra set for free. We really went overboard on this one.
Hey, folks! All the creators from the various OSE month projects are doing an AMA over on the Old School Essentials Discord!
After thinking about it, I'm going to let the Demon Dollars go til the end of the second session. I know I said I would end them at midnight - I hope you'll forgive me. I'll be busy tonight, so I probably won't be in the first session much, but I'll be there for tomorrows! Bring your questions about Bekir's Battlers!
Session 1: Weds May 20th, 7:30-9:30 PM ET, Session 2: Thurs May 21st, 9:00-11:00 AM ET
