I was staring at the screen hitting F5 for a while, and it finally happened: We broke 50% of the way to funding.
That's not a bad first eight hours, and as Curly once said, "Day ain't over yet."
I'm going to go have a glass of something good, have dinner, and then settle in to what is going to be a hard several weeks of data entry for monsters, so that we can continue to get preview pages out, tweak the content and ensure each critter and enemy is properly vetted, and then get art going.
See you tomorrow!
One more new reward: Physical Book plus new PDFs (for international folks!)

The physical Bestiary is aimed at shipping worldwide, but the Quick-reference card decks would be prohibitively expensive at this juncture (not to mention a logistical nightmare).
But...one of my backers noted that Bestiary (Print/PDF) and PDFs of the Quick-Reference Print-and-Play and tokenized VTT pack makes the perfect combo. So I added that as a reward as well.
All-digital reward added!

It was pointed out to me that some of the settings on the VTT pack and QR PDF were a bit wonky. I added an all-digital pack with the book PDF, the Quick-Reference print-and-play PDF, and the tokenized VTT pack for $50 so you don't have to bother with add-ons and such.
And we're LIVE!

Here we go! The biggest project I'm launching this year, and maybe my biggest project ever.
I'm a tetch nervous, but I think we've got this. We shall see.
I wanted to welcome those who joined from the "Follow the Campaign" pre-launch page! I was out of the gate early this time, and hopefully this will help us. If all followers jump in on Day 1 (and a reasonable fraction like the cards and VTT pack pledge), we've got a legit shot at funding.
In any case, two bits of media:
I was on Talking Crit last night with Erik Tenkar and Bad Mike.
It was a pretty good discussion, though I didn't spend a lot of time actively promoting this Kickstarter.
On the other hand, I'll be on SJGames Live! at 2pm Central Time today, and that WILL be active promotion.
I intend to show card mockups, token mockups, and hopefully have a full dozen sample monsters and a few other laid-out pages ready to pop up on the screen.
If you have questions, that's a great time to ask them. I'll post a link when I have one.
In the meantime:
Join Me on Discord to chat, ask questions, and get updates!
And we're off...buckle up. It's going to be a ride.
