Campaign Builder: Dungeons & Ruins

Deep Thoughts With Kobolds
8 months ago – Fri, Apr 19, 2024 at 02:54:06 PM

We're at the end of the first week of the Kickstarter campaign for Campaign Builder: Dungeons & Ruins, and kobolds have had a lot to share about the book. In case you missed it, here are links to some great deep thoughts on the subject:

Ask Us Anything

First up, check out what some of the freelance kobolds had to say about their experiences working on this book in an Ask Me Anything, hosted by Kobold Press' own Media Production Manager, Kendo.

Kobold Chats

In addition, Kendo got to talk one-on-one with Jeff Lee during Kobold Chats this week, to explore the sections of Dungeons & Ruins that Jeff worked on.

The Right Tools

Finally, Kobold Press' Marketing Director, Dot, reflects in today's blog post on the importance of having a full set of tools in your tool box—like what can be found in Dungeons & Ruins—when designing your next musty barrow or buried temple. This is a great read if you're on the fence about backing the campaign, or you can share it with a friend to share the word.

Thank you to every backer! We'll have one more preview and the design seminar details for you next week.

Claim a Staff of Power or a Hammer of Savings!

It's true, the $99 and $119 pledge tiers offer the largest discounts, and they are only available for Kickstarter backers!

(These discounts will not be available after the Kickstarter.)

Stretch Goals Unlocked!

In addition to the deals you can claim just by backing now, the stretch goals make it an even better deal! In the first 24 hours, backers have already unlocked two goals:

• The form-fillable Dungeon Tracker PDF is the perfect tool for keeping everything in your megadungeon organized, with spaces to note unique treasures, enemies, tricks and traps, and maps. 
• The upcoming Design Seminar on May 17 is your chance to tune in and hear what dungeon designers and cartographers have to say about their best practices and pro tips for getting the most out of subterranean campaigns. There are a lot of years' of experience packed into this line-up!

More stretch goals are warming up, to be announced when this project hits the $150k mark! Thank you to everyone who has gotten us this far so quickly!

The Warrens are alive with the sounds of exuberant cheers. Once again, you, our fans, have warmed our hearts with your support. We’d like to extend a particularly big thank-you to those of you who shared, liked, and rebroadcast the teasers and announcements leading up to the launch of our Kickstarter. You helped us get here in only 60 minutes!

Even as we wrote this update, your pledges rolled the campaign across our first stretch goal. Everyone now gets access to a form-fillable Dungeon Tracking PDF, where you can list features, add maps, and jot down notes to help keep all the goodies in your ruined temple, byzantine maze, or bandit hideout organized.

But there's more to come! We have 29 days to see how many more stretch goals we can hit, and we look forward to sharing all the good stuff we hope to add to Campaign Builder: Dungeons & Ruins with you! Keep checking back to see the progress, and once again, thank you all for your support.
