$100,000 and Still Going Strong!
over 8 years ago – Wed, Mar 02, 2016 at 11:40:01 PM

We did it!  We hit $100,000 with 11 hours still left to go in the project.

With the changes to the last Stretch Goals, you have unlocked 14 more free Bonus Tokens, bringing the total up to 36 tokens!

Bring on the Tokens!

I know many (many, many) of you have requested these, so hopefully you will enjoy the tokens I have made for these colors.

In addition to these colorful tokens, there are also 8 alternate art Tokens of some of the more popular varieties (and a Devil).

Each of these alternate art Tokens (and the Devil) will be available as Add Ons, along with all of the other Bonus Tokens.

Small Changes

It was brought to my attention that the art that I had planned to use for the */* Demon Token is actually an illustration of a Buddhist deity.  I see no need to possibly offend anyone and have changed out the art for a differed piece. 

Here is the updated */* Demon Token:

Updated Token Collections

After getting tons of great feedback on what we should include in the updated Token Collections, we have updated the lists and added new graphics to the project page.

I'll save you a click and share the new lists below:

Last Call

There are now less than 9 hours left in the project and it's officially last call to get your Add Ons and Rewards locked in before the window closes.

I know everyone has done an amazing job spreading the word (we wouldn't have hit $100,000 if you hadn't) and I can't sufficiently express my thanks.

I've been committed to making this a great experience for everyone and am excited for the next stage of the project.

If you are going to be at GP DC next weekend, look for me around the Artist Alley.  I'll likely be hanging out with Terese or Aaron Miller (support his Kickstarter if you haven't already) and it would be great to meet you there.

Thanks again and let's see how high we can get before tomorrow morning.

24 Hours Left - A Few Last Things
over 8 years ago – Wed, Mar 02, 2016 at 08:38:52 PM

"I'm glad to be with you, here at the end of all things"

Ok, it's not so grim as all that, the project is still gathering steam and the $100,000 goal is getting closer, but we're definitely in the final hours.

I wanted to reach out to you before the project ends to go over a few last details.

• PLEASE check your payment information.  It's very common to have payments not got processed due to old/bad information and I want to avoid that and make sure you get what you are pledging for.
• PLEASE get all of your Add Ons before the project ends.  Increasing your pledge now will help us get to the last Stretch Goals.  You will have another chance to purchase more Add Ons when we send out the Backer Surveys, but it would be great if you could commit to them now rather than later.
• PLEASE let me know what you want included in the expanded Token Collections. We received a few suggestions in previous Updates, but we are still looking for more feedback.  There are 18 slots to fill in each of the 5 collections and we want to make them the best they can possibly be.
• PLEASE double check your payment information. Seriously, please do this.
• PLEASE keep being awesome.  Seriously, you're the best.  Thanks for your support

We hit the $90,000 Stretch Goal last night (Yay!) and we'll be sharing the contents of the updated Token Collections tonight if we can get some more feedback.

Thanks!

36 Hours Left - Final Stretch Goal Update
over 8 years ago – Tue, Mar 01, 2016 at 09:45:56 PM

We've got 36 hours to go and the last few Stretch Goals are in our sights.

It would be AMAZING if we hit both of the last goals, but it looks like the $100,000 goal is going to be much more achievable with the time left in the project.

With that in mind, I made a few changes to the last two Stretch Goals to push more of the rewards towards the more likely to be reached goal.

I wanted to make the 126 card Full Set and 36 Bonus Tokens happen at $100,000, but after running the numbers it didn't work out.

If we are able to reach $120,000 we'll be in the best of both worlds, but I wanted to make sure everyone is able to get all of the Bonus Tokens that I had planned for the project if nothing else.

As always, thank you for all of the support so far and please keep on spreading the word about the project.

I REALLY want to make these last few Bonus Tokens for you, but we need to hit that goal to make it happen.

Attention Backers at the $1 Reward Level
over 8 years ago – Tue, Mar 01, 2016 at 07:34:14 PM

First of all, thank you so much for supporting the project!

Every dollar counts and your generosity is greatly appreciated.

I just wanted to reach out to you before the project ends to make sure that you know a few things about the Reward Level you chose.

As detailed on the project page and in the updates, backers at the $1 Reward Level are not eligible for Add Ons or Bonus Tokens.

If you are interested Add Ons or Bonus Tokens, simply change your Pledge with the "Manage Pledge" button, choose one of the other Rewards and you'll be good to go.

I would rather you make sure that you are aware of this and potentially lose your support than cause problems in the future due to a misunderstanding.

I hope this helps and thank you again for your support.

I've got a Clue, now you do too! $80,000 Stretch Goal Unlocked!
over 8 years ago – Sun, Feb 28, 2016 at 09:05:58 PM

We're in the home stretch and we're still going strong.

A few hours ago we hit the $80,000 Stretch Goal and unlocked 6 more free Bonus Tokens for all backers.  Everybody backing the project will now be receiving 22 free Tokens!

Clue-by-Six

In the last update, I said I didn't have a clue as to what to make these next Bonus Tokens.  That was a lie.

In fact, I already had six.

The Bagpipe as "Lead Pipe" is a stretch, I'll grant you, but isn't it truly the more deadly weapon?

Time is Running Out!

We are picking up steam as we head into the close of the project, but Thursday morning is coming up fast.

If we are going to hit the last Stretch Goal and expand the Full Set to 126 cards, I need you to reach out to your friends and playgroups to spread the word about the project.

The level of support so far has been overwhelming, but it would be great to make it to the last Stretch Goal and close out the project strong.

With your help, we can do it.
