Project Update: Stretch goal DESTROYED - Free Demon!




I love how excited folks are about the new set! Thanks so much for grabbing those Demon Dollars to grab it (details in the last update). 

Unsurprisingly, because of the excitement, we've smashed through another Achievement. 

$15000 - Free Demon!

You've unlocked the third free extra demon, but just like the previous ones, I'm going to need you to work for it. 

And by that, I mean I need you to vote on which one you want! The poll is attached to this update. Who will number three be?

And we have more Achievements coming up, of course. 

$17500 - Chaos Lord


Absolutely not based on anything by Michael Moorcock. Certainly not the Elric saga. Please don't put words in my mouth.

We're steadily marching towards this achievement, and with more than half the campaign to go, I'm pretty sure we're gonna get there. 

But what new achievement shall we reveal? 

$20000 - Tiefling



If you're on my email list, you likely saw we had a little vote before this whole campaign started on which mini we should give away for free for early backers - the Tiefling or the Cultist. You likely saw that the Cultist won.

There were some folks who were disappointed - understandably so! The Tiefling was rad! Don't worry, though. If we hit the 20,000 stretch goal, the Demon-Born Tiefling will inflict their darkness upon the world.

The Tiefling first came about during AD&D 2E, introduced in the Planescape Boxset (one of my favorites). Released more toward the end of TSR DnD, it's interesting to see what's stuck around and kinda become modern day DnD cannon and what was left behind.

There are many folks who seem to think that the Tiefling is a modern invention, that it came about during the WotC era. They've actually been around for quite a few decades. Whenever I think about them, I often think about these freaks too.



Drawn by the amazing Tony DiTerlizzi, the Bariaur answered the very important question of "What if Centaur, but goat?" These dudes were apparently running all over Sigil, yes we don't see them in modern renditions of the game (that I know of). We certainly see Tieflings, though!

I guess the offspring of a human and demon was more exciting then goat centaur.

Anyway, thanks again for coming along on this ride, folks. I really appreciate you and I'm excited to hit these next goals!

Now I know I asked you a lot already, with the voting and all that, but I wish to pose to you a question - what would you love to see from this campaign that you haven't already? Any favorite demons you haven't seen? Or any other demon related things? I'm curious what we've missed!

Talk soon,
-James

P.S. The moving truck was delayed, so I was able to get this update out. Wish me luck today. I'm already ready for a nap.

What is a Chaos Lord, you may be asking? Well I'll tell you what it's not - it's not our take on Melniboneans from the Elric books because that would get us sued.
