Hey everyone! We're a chunk of the way through unlocking Aurora already, I know you guys can do it! And to help out a little, I have added a new add-on from the vote I did awhile ago.
Sticker books!
These use the repeating dragon patterns you might have seen on some of the page art for the front and back covers. There are 20 sheets of paper, so 40 sides to cover with your sticker hoard! They're a standard A5 size and have stitched binding for a clean look. Please consider adding one if you're interested, it helps the campaign out a ton!
A rough mock-up!
Plush Hoard For All!
72 inch giant plush are cool as heck but the price point for the 15 plush hoard is pretty up there, making it very out of reach. I am making them available as Add-Ons instead of exclusively through that single level. 6 foot long plush made in such tiny numbers simply can't approach being cheap, so they are still nothing to sneeze at price wise, but they're exactly 5x more accessible! If you want all 5 the pledge level is still the way to go since you also get everything else, but if you just wanted one the add-ons are a good option.
They ARE remaining Backerkit exclusive for purchasing them directly. The only way you will be able to get one in the future once the campaign ends is if you win them at a charity auction where I have donated one, which isn't exactly a common occurence since I'm not near many!
Nobody tell her, she'll be grumpy about sharing.
Some Pledge Level House-Keeping
I've made some changes to a few of the pledge levels! I am recording all of the changes here so no one is caught off-guard. For the most part these are just improvements that I now know I can achieve. I do not intend to ever downgrade any of these!
15 Plush Mega Jumbo Plush Hoard level:
Getting all the dragons is no longer unlock-dependant! They are guaranteed regardless of unlock status! This includes both standard and jumbo.
Mega jumbos are now add-ons, and thus are not guaranteed to be a unique direct purchase.
The Whole Nest level :
Getting all the dragons is no longer unlock-dependant! They are guaranteed regardless of unlock status! This includes both standard and jumbo.
Add-Ons Information Expanded
I hadn't updated the Add-Ons section of the Backerkit Story to keep up with the few new things we've gotten, so that has been freshly updated with more information. This includes details on the newest additions as well! If there is something you have been wondering about the new items please let me know! I can answer you here, and may also add that information to the Add-On section or the FAQ.
Custom Still Available
There is still 1 unadopted custom plush remaining! Every custom adopted plush pushes the campaign a great deal forward!
Bits 'n Bobs
Several other Add-On options got a bit of interest during the vote. Here is a brief update on where those options could possibly go:
More Sticker Designs: I have attached a poll to this update that is a vote for sticker themes! Please pick the one you like best if you want to see it made.
Dice Bags: It's pretty hard to find a manufacturer for these it turns out! If I find what I'm looking for I will be pursuing it,
Enamel Pins: These are a pretty expensive add-on to make. I don't know if this one is in the cards. I'm still keeping an eye out for a way to pursue this. Perhaps something similar, like acrylic or wood pins?
Custom Art: I am thinking of offering a very limited number of full-body drawings that match the character art used for Comet & Friends. Or would people rather have something even simpler, like an icon?
Blind Bag Dragon Bundles: I am going to be putting these up as a pledge level and in add-ons if we unlock Aurora! That way the surprise could be anything of any dragon.
