Hi all,

Happy weekend, and happy Mother's Day to any of you mommas out there !

Just FYI, I got the green light to send out the "smoke test" a required step for BackerKit. This means that 5% of you will get your surveys, and if everything looks fine, I'll be sending out all the surveys on Monday.

So if you've gotten an email for the survey, please fill it out as soon as you can.

Thanks again and I'll update again when all the surveys have gone out!

Cheers,
Rick

Hi all of you amazing humans,

Just wanted to keep you all updated on the surveys!

I've submitted them for BackerKit's review (they do a great job of making sure all my t's are crossed and the i's are dotted), meaning that in 24-48 hours we can move on to what's known as the smoke test - a tiny percentage of you will get your surveys, and then everyone will get their surveys.

A few special notes:

RETURNING BACKERS - you do NOT have to add the sticker pack to your cart. I'll just be adding that in myself when I pack your orders.

BACKERS OF THE FLIRTATIOUS FUNGASS CAMPAIGN - BackerKit tells me your extra bonus Fungal Infection pin is in there already.

Alright, thanks again, and I'll update everyone again when the surveys start going out!

Oh, one last thing - if you've got any friends who missed the boat on backing, I've got a pre-order store up now.

Ciao!

Hi all,

So, after some financial finagling, talks with the factory, and deciding I want these designs to come to life,  I've decided to unlock all the campaign pin designs. No Dark Wheel cultist pin, sadly, but all the Lovecraftian Horrors are yours to choose from!

Regarding surveys, there's some backend stuff BackerKit has to do regarding the collaboration pins with our friendly Fungass partners and all of that, but that should be figured out by the end of this week, and then surveys shall go out. The only sticky part is that I'll be traveling for a friend's wedding, so while I want to get these surveys out to you ASAP, when they drop will all depend on how much work I get can done before heading out this Thursday. Expect them by the 7th at the very latest! 

Thanks so much for all the support, and looking forward to getting the surveys (and these pins) out to you! 

Have a great week!
-Rick

Howdy folks! We're almost to the finish line!

The campaign ends Thursday at 1pm PT - so if you're on the fence, the time to act is now!

I've also talked to someone who really wants all the pins to unlock, so they've basically made a matching pledge for $400 so that Wilbur Whaley AND The Terrible Old Man will unlock at $2300.

So if we can get that extra little bit past the Mi-Go, all the campaigns pins (except the bonus freebie pin that's still at $3000) will be options to choose from on your backer surveys. 

Now is the time to spread the word, and thanks to the generosity of a certain supporter (don't worry, I'm throwing in tons of extras for them if we get there), we're way closer to unlocking all the featured pins!

Thanks again and let's goooooo!

Cheers,
Rick

Hey everyone!

First off, I just wanted to thank all of you for supporting the campaign and showing some love for the unspeakable horrors that creep just outside the periphery of vision in alternative dimensions that seep over into ours.

Very, very humbled and grateful for all of your support!

So what's next?

While we weren't able to make our last few stretch goals, I'm in conversation with my factory seeing if there's a way to finagle getting all the pins made anyway, since I want all of them made, but no promises yet.

But Rick, I would have backed more if I knew all the pins were going to be unlocked!

Fret not, loyal backer, as if this does come to pass, I'll be making sure you can add them all on in the backer surveys. 

Because I'm trying to work this out so everyone's favorite pins get manufactured, surveys might take a few days to come out. I'd say expect next week or so - and be sure to watch your email, as I'll let folks know once they go out! 

Okay, so I'm off to try and get surveys prepared as I await for a bit more information from my factory! 

Thank you again!!!

Hi everyone!

We're 6 days out from end of campaign, and the Mi-Go was voted next to unlock at the $2100 mark! Thanks for voting, backers!

The new poll for the $2400 pin is now up, and backers can vote on whether or not Wilbur Whaley, the horror of Dunwich, or the soul-stealing Terrible Old Man (who admittedly is far from designed as canon), shall be unlocked shall we get to $2400.

To that end, I'd love for us to get to the $3k mark, as that way all the pins will be unlocked and all backers who have backed at a physical reward tier will get a free cultist pin. I'm optimistic that we'll get there in that infamous last-day of campaign push, but if we get there sooner, that would be even better!

So if you know of anyone who loves Lovecraftian pins, or just creepy monster pins in general, please spread the word!

Backers, you can vote in the final poll (since the loser of this poll automatically becomes the pin unlocked as the $2700 stretch goal) here!

Thanks again everyone, and have a great weekend!

Cheers,
Rick

Wahoo! Heyo Backers, you did it!

Brain Jar is officially unlocked!

I've left the next poll open until tonight at 11:59pm, so make sure you've voted for what unlocks at the next stretch goal. Backers, vote here if you haven't already! 

We've still got 8 days, so if there's anyone in your life who might need some Lovecraftian horrors in their lives, please spread the word. 

I hope you're having an awesome week! 

Thanks again,
Rick

Hi y'all!

As of writing, we're $23 away from unlocking the Brain Jar! Thanks so much and super exciting to be this close!

Also, I wanted to give a celebratory shout-out to Moo Moo Ink for funding Flirtatious Fungass! Friendly reminder that if you back BOTH of our campaigns for a physical reward, it's now guaranteed that you'll get two FREE pins - Fungal Infection and Clathrus Archeri!

Exciting!!

If you haven't yet voted on the $2100 Stretch Goal Poll yet, you can click here to do so. Just make sure you're logging in with your BackerKit account - as only Backers get to control the outcome of the campaign!  

Thanks again, and if you haven't backed yet, now is a great time! 

Have a great Thursday!!!

Cthulhu: Evolved, Nyarlathotep, and a Cat from Ulthar has been unlocked! The first funding goal has been met!! We're making pins!!!

Totally blown away by the support - thanks so much to all of you who have already backed!! Also, please, please vote for the next stretch goal below, especially since we're almost there(!)

If you haven't had a chance to back yet, early bird rewards are still going on for a few days, but the earlier you back the sooner you can vote! Remember that cards aren't charged until April 18th (the end of the campaign), and pledges can be edited so if you want to get in on the vote, you can back at the $5 tier and then bump up if the pin you're looking for unlocks. 

It's really been surreal, as I also had to load-in for WonderCon today, so I left on the hour-long commute, and Google Maps keeps my phone from any notifications, so right as I unloaded stuff at my booth I finally was able to see we got funded. 

Thanks so much for the support, and please spread the word so we can unlock more of these horrific monstrosities! 

Much gratitude,
Rick

Whew! WonderCon Day 2 is over, and so there's but one day left for early-bird backing! Y'all have blown me away, unlocking more than half the pins from the campaign in three days, all while I'm handing out postcards from my table at WonderCon.

If you haven't backed yet, now is the time to do so! Remember, you get to vote and shape the stretch goals and the future of the campaign!

If you've already backed, thank you so much! Don't forget to vote in this Backer-only poll for what will unlock after the Brain Jar.

You all have spoken, and the next stretch goal pin is the Brain Jar. 

Technically referred to as a brain canister in the mythos, these devices allow Mi-Go to let humans travel and sense the outer planets of our solar system, but just at the cost of having your brain removed and put into a jar. 

The biggest question is: if you got offered to see the outer realms of the solar system, but would forever have to live as a brain in a jar at the mercy of flying interdimensional sentient fungi, would you? 

Okay, I'm off to bed early as the last day of the convention is tomorrow and load-out is always tiring. 

Thank you thank you thank you!
