Thank you all so much for your support. This campaign exceeded my wildest expectations.

What's Next?

BackerKit should charge your card within the next 48 hours. If the charge doesn't go through, you'll have until September 7th to fix the issue.

I just sent the pledge manager to BackerKit for approval. It should take a day or two for them to approve it.

Once the pledge manager is approved and your order is locked and paid, you'll get an email from BackerKit with the download link to the Kobold Ancestry (v. 0.991). This way, you'll be able to start playing as a kobold immediately!

You'll also get a survey from BackerKit asking how you'd like to be credited. If you're getting a custom item or kobold, the survey will collect your prompt for that too. I'll have another update in a few days with advice on what makes a good prompt.

I'll start working on custom content as I get surveys back.

Version 1.0

Once I've designed all the backer items and kobolds, I'll add them to the PDF and send the whole thing off to the editor.

Once the final version is ready, I'll upload it to BackerKit and you'll get an email that there's a new version of the PDF to download.

I don't have a timeline for this; it depends on how quickly I get surveys back, how long it takes to develop each custom item and kobold, and... well... life, but my goal is to get all of this to you as soon as reasonably possible. If it looks like it's going to take longer than expected, I'll start sending backer items and kobolds to their backers by email ahead of the 1.0 release.

Late Pledges

If you missed the campaign, there's a pre-order store here (link goes to https://kobold-ancestry.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders).

Custom items and kobolds are available at least through the end of August. I may keep those options available past August, but if I do, custom items and kobolds ordered after August won't be in the 1.0 PDF release.

Thanks again everyone!
