Legendary Beasts are nearly unlocked!
First and foremost, as always - many thanks to our supporters and welcome new backers! I wanted to take a quick moment to wish everyone a happy weekend and a very special shout out to all the dads! We hope you have an epic Father's Day!~
We are just a handful of backers away from unlocking the next stretch goal which will feature animal print designs that feed nostalgia and are inspired by the many joys of millennial childhood. From zebra striped gum and Nokia phone cases to Lisa Frank folders and sparkly backpacks - it is a tribute to all things animal print that swept the middle and high schools of the early otts.
With nostalgia on the mind on this rainy summer Saturday, it got me thinking about how I found this table top/gaming hobby in the first place. 15 years ago I was invited to join a D&D group that was starting up. Having never played before, I was intimidated but intrigued all the same. We spent many weekends around that table, fighting undead and saving villages. But the best part is the funny stories and moments you take with you long after the game is over. When someone tells me they play table top RPG, my first question is always, "What's your best story?!"
For me - it has to be when I played a rogue. During a trek in the woods we stumbled upon an abandoned tree house. In classic rogue style, I had to of course loot it. Among the items I found was a music box. Little did our party know, that seemingly arbitrary music box would become a pivotal component to our game. Our DM cleverly challenged me by having it play music at random times (not so great for a sneaky rogue) and I challenged right back by trying to use it to fight off enemies (spoiler alert, it never worked. It was after all, just a music box.) Talking with my group we still laugh about that music box. You can't help but love RPGs where there is no limit to the imagination. Do you have a story or loot that changed the course of your game? I'd love to hear about it!
The creative community born around D&D and TTRPG is something incredible. We are all out here trying to enhance the game for each other! Whether it be dice, miniatures, or one shot stories - I am always eager to support and share the works of my fellow creators. Which is why I'd like to wrap up this update with a quick nod to my friends, The Midnight Quill. They are working hard to create a one stop shop collection of items to be used in D&D or any TTRPG universe! Their most recent campaign, "Loot the Body" is a collection of over 1,000 (and growing!) loot items to add to your adventure. As a former rogue who shouted "I LOOT THE BODY" before a slayed enemy could even hit the ground - this Kickstarter is near and dear to my interests. It will have even your most lawful paladin wanting in on the fun! Please take a moment to check them out! If anything, it will give you one more reason to roll your new Animal Print Dice~!
