Yes, that's right, the campaign ended in the middle of the night, not with a bang, but a whimper.

That being said, holy crap! What a great campaign! Thank you all so much for supporting and encouraging me (and giving me your credit card info 😈)!

While I have your eyes, I want to direct their attention to the next couple of Nerdronomicon offerings. Please give them a follow!

If you learned The Sorcerer's Fate and witnessed The Sorcerer's Return, get ready to tackle The Sorcerer's Conundrum.

Delve into an ancient elven labyrinth at the behest of the mad sorcerer Verrükter in this puzzling adventure zine compatible with Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG! Part three in the Saga of Sorcerer Verrükter and the Rükstau Rejects.

It's puzzles all the way down!

ALERT: Do not play The Sorcerer's Conundrum if you don't like puzzles.

Ok. That was a lot, I know. Please continue reading to find out... 

If your credit card hasn't been charged yet, it will be in the next few days.

I'm going to continue playtesting, writing, editing, and illustrating the modules until they stop wriggling.

I'm going to do as much in-person testing as I can here in the Chicagoland area and at every con I can get to. I also plan to set up some virtual sessions—look for an update with sign-up instructions for virtual playtests soon. Once the player-level playtesting is done, I'll get it in a near-final state and send it out to everyone as a PDF.

Then, my pretty DMs and Judges, you will scatter like flying monkeys and playtest it with your own groups.

Let me know how it goes: What doesn't work? How can I make it better for the GMs?

All playtesters will be credited in the books.

We smashed seven stretch goals! 

Alas, we were not able to cross the $17k threshold to get everyone a "Child of Bobugbubilz" patch. They will be available in the preorder store and as add-ons in the pledge manager ($5 each or $20 for 5).

This isn't the last you'll hear from me. I've got your info. You can't stop me!

Look for monthly progress updates and some gentle marketing around upcoming Nerdronomicon offerings.

I can't handle how grateful I am to all of you for supporting Mutant Spawn of the Toadmother.

Thank you.

First! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This campaign has been such a joy. I've loved every minute of it, and I can't thank you enough for your support!

Second! After 10 hours of delicious Dungen Con recovery sleep, I realized that we don't have to wait until the pledge manager to add the Child of Bobugbubilz patches (it'll still be there, tho).

You can now add one of 2 new add-ons: 

Warning: if we cross the highly unlikely $17,000 stretch goal, every physical backer will get a FREE patch!

Third! We blew past the $15,500 stretch goal while I was blissfully tucked into my own bed last night, so the bats (and millipedes) make it into the funnel! Thus, revealing the cynical polling engagement tactic to be nothing more than a ruse. Actually, I would have gladly not written two more encounters. 😄

Fourth! The final stretch goals have been revealed: an 11" x 17" poster of the Eye of Bobugbubilz at  $18,500, and a glow-in-the-dark Child of Bobugbubilz enamel pin at $20,000!

There is a secret final stretch goal that the folks who played the Mutant Spawn of the Toadmother playtest at Dungeon Con know about, but I highly doubt we'll get anywhere near it. If, beyond all sense, we hit $20,000, it will be revealed.

First thing: the campaign is STILL RUNNING! As of this update, we are still in Overtime Mode. Which means that when the campaign ended at 4 PM CST on May 1st, a 10-minute clock started running. If at least one person pledged to any of the Mega Dungeon Month campaigns during that time, another 10 minutes was added to the length of the campaign. Well, it's Sunday at 6:37 AM CST as I write this, and the thing won't die!

Which means you still have time to upgrade your pledge or bug your friends, relatives, coworkers, extended family, strangers, and, of course, enemies to back the campaign. I don't know how much longer you have, so you'd better hurry!

Second thing: The final list of monster encounters will include Poisonous Subterranean Mold, Ravenous Troglobitic Leeches, Blind Albino Crabs, and Gargantuan Olms! I am shocked that Giant Mutant Bats didn't make the cut, but there will be plenty of giant mutant whatevers in the adventure.

Last thing: We only got 100 votes for Child of Bobugbubilz patches. So you're out of luck.

Just kidding! I want one of these things too much to hold myself to a dumb rule that past Andy made up. Present Andy wants a glow-in-the-dark patch!

There will be more to come, including more thank-yous, project updates, virtual and in-person playtest opportunities, and other things I can't think of right now.

Thank you so much for making this my best campaign ever! May our greasy lord bless you with warts, boils, and carbuncles! Praise Bobugbubilz!
