In the final hours...

Greetings wonderful backers! Last night the Animal Print Dice Kickstarter campaign came to a close. In the final hours we gained some amazing steam thanks to many upping their pledges and new backers joining the efforts. Thanks to this, we were able to hit our final milestone of 25k! Unlocking one final stretch goal! WOO!

Thank you. 

Tux & Roll wouldn't be possible (pawsible?) without your support and belief in us. We are beyond excited to hit the ground running and deliver you an amazing product that you will love for years to come. Communication is important to us, so we vow to keep you up-to-date during production. For example, we've already begun by getting to work on creating molds with the new D20 master!  Thanks to reaching our 25k stretch goal, we can now offer a pawprint in place of the 20 as a post campaign option! We wasted no time getting to work with this design. Needless to say, we are ready and eager to get started! 

So What Now? 

In the coming weeks we will work on setting up the pledge manager and add-ons. You will receive communication once these have been established so you can select your dice style(s) and we can move forward with production. You will also have the option to add-on additional dice, sets, and more should you desire. 

The last 30 days have been amazing - and the outpour of support has been humbling. We are ready to get rollin' - and so thankful you'll be along for the ride! Stay tuned, because we're just getting started! 

The Final Week is Here!

The countdown is on...

Greetings backers and wonderful supporters! What a wild few weeks it has been! From reaching our funding goal on day one, to unlocking all the design options and more, we are beyond excited to get rolling on this project. 

We still have some pretty awesome stretch goals we hope to achieve in the next few days and wanted to take a moment to share more details on them with you. 

First off - we have our newly added goal of reaching 25k, which will allow us to give you the option of selecting a pawprint symbol for the d20 highest face in the pledge manager. We are very close to unlocking this goal!

Our next stretch goal will allow us to scale up our packaging. Currently, all dice sets will be delivered in a high quality soft cloth dice bag. However, if we are able to reach the 30k stretch goal, we will be able to offer a windowed hard case with foam insert to cradle your dice when not in play and display them! 

Our final stretch goal is a two sided metal collector's coin if we reach the 50k mark. While we are still in the process of designing this coin, which can be used in game play in addition to your dice, we do have a sneak peek of the concept art in the works! We hope to reach this stretch goal to be able to gift this coin to our backers for free, but also plan to offer it as an add-on in the pledge manager for an additional fee if this goal is not met. Stay tuned for more information regarding add-ons. 

And as a final reminder, we have a few opportunities remaining for backers to support us at the "Going on Safari" early backer tier - which includes a free swag bag. It will feature promotional items for Tux & Roll including pin, stickers, magnet, coaster and more. (This swag bag is also included in our highest tier "The Herd")

We hope in the coming days that these items will be unlocked. Please help us reach our goals by taking a moment to share this campaign with someone you might think would love this project too! As always, thank you for being a backer - we love sharing our passion for gaming and animals with you! Our goal is to bring you the best possible product, and thanks to your generous support we will be able to do so - and that's the best part! Rawr! 

20K Stretch Goal Achieved! New 25k Stretch Goal Added!
about 1 year ago – Fri, Jun 30, 2023 at 09:36:46 AM

Pawprints here we come!! 20k stretch goal unlocked! 

Hello lovely backers! I hope you all had a fantastic week and are gearing up for an epic weekend. With only two weeks remaining in the Animal Print Dice campaign, We are thrilled to announcement that we have reached 20k! This now unlocks the stretch goal to provide the option for pawprints instead of pips/dots on all d6 orders and post campaign add-ons. This options will be selected during the pledge manager once the active campaign comes to a close. 

Our next goal wasn't until 30k, however - we have received your feedback that it would be pretty awesome if you had the option to select a pawprint for d20s. We love this idea, so much in fact, we began the process of designing a mold to make it happen! We have decided this would make a great stretch goal for 25k - SO *drumroll* We are announcing a SURPRISE additional stretch goal based on your feedback! If we reach 25k, you will be given the option in the post campaign pledge manager to make the 20 face (on any order with a d20) a pawprint instead of the number "20"!

Many thanks to our dice community and supporters for sharing their ideas so we can continue to design a product you will love to bring to the table time and time again. Thank you for believing in us and celebrating our new milestone together! 

We have some more exciting news to share just around the corner, so stay tuned for more updates! Until next time! 

Swag Bag Sneak Peek #1

Free swag bag gift - get hyped!

Hello my wonderful backers! We are rolling into our 2nd week of the campaign and pledges are going steady. There is still an opportunity to be among the few that receive the "swag bag" which will feature limited edition Tux & Roll branded promotional materials. Some of the items included were gifts to commissioners back in our beginnings, others were released at conventions we attended, and some of them are brand new and exclusive to Kickstarter. 

As a reminder, the first 500 backers for the "Goin' on Safari" reward tier and all backers for "The Herd!" tier will receive this bag as a thank you gift for your eager and generous support of our project. While we have multiple items that will be included in this bag, I wanted to highlight a special one today that will be a Kickstarter exclusive... the beverage coaster! 

This fun coaster features our mascot, the tuxedoed cat, with a sinister grin behind a Game Master's screen. Have a peek of the art work used: 

This fun and dynamic piece was done by artist Starsent, creator of the DnD inspired web comic Shadowed Fates.  This compelling story follows a Tabaxi adventurer and his best friend as they learn what it means to become heroes. We are huge fans of Shadowed Fates and were beyond thrilled when they agreed to design one of our promo offerings. A very special thank you Starsent for sharing their talents to be passed along to all of you! If you would like to learn more about their work, I highly encourage you check out their web comic here:

We hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of our drink coaster. We will share more swag bag details in the coming days. Until then, we are nearing another major milestone - the unlock of our next stretch goal, pawprint pips! With being just a few backers away from this goal, we hope to have good news soon! Thank you again for joining us on this adventure and sharing our campaign. Until next time - have a wild day!

Being able to offer these designs is a dream come true, thank you to everyone for your continued support and as always, a very warm welcome to our newest backers. 

All this being said, the fun doesn't stop here! We still have some great goals to reach including offering pawprint shaped pips, a windowed storage container, and more!

Lots to look forward to as we wrap up the first week of our campaign. It has been one of the best weeks ever, and looking forward to the coming days!
