Backerkit Surveys are out! Progress on book continues
over 1 year ago – Mon, Jun 12, 2023 at 08:04:01 AM

Greetings! Thanks for backing the project and helping to make the 6th book in the Monsters series. If you have any questions, feel free to email us at [email protected]

Backerkit Surveys

We sent out a test group of surveys on Friday, the rest went out this morning. Backerkit gathers all the valuable information we need and provides you an opportunity to add more rewards. Our other books, notebooks, stickers, and t-shirts are available. 

All five of the other Monsters series books are available. PDF, softcover, or hardcover
There are several notebooks in the Backerkit, all with art by Travis Hanson
Many different stickers are included in the Backerkit
The first comic book we published is also available
Three different t-shirts are available

Pledge Questions

We included two questions in the surveys as well. We'll be publishing a World of Myrr book and several adventures next. We wanted to hear your opinion about which one you'd like first. The other question is specifically about adventures, as we wanted to know what level adventure was your favorite (1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20). 

Progress on the Book

The manuscript is finished and has been turned over to layout and art. This is the fastest we've ever finished the text, it would usually take 2-3 months after the Kickstarter. The Castle Dungeons chapter is laid out and ready for Travis to do the art, with the Arcane Dungeons completed already.

What a ride that was! Thank you!

Every Kickstarter has seemed like an adventure for our small company. We're very grateful to all of you and excited about making this book. Happy that we unlocked the all-important Stretch Goal to increase the monster count to 120!

What's Next?

  • First, we take a little break! Craft beer and Skyrim I think
  • Next week we finalize the manuscript and pass it on to layout
  • Get the Backerkit up in a week or two for everyone to input their info and choose any add-ons
  • After the Backerkit is done (likely early to mid-July) we will mail out all the older PDFs
  • Write up the art list for Travis Hanson for the other 100 or so illustrations
