Hey Everyone,

Your amazing support has given us a roadmap where we spend the next two years working on this game. We underestimated how popular the Ajax Edition would be and were overwhelmed by the response yesterday. After speaking with our manufacturing partner late last evening we are confident that we will be able to produce a second wave of Ajax Editions for those who missed the first wave. The second wave will ship after the first wave because a human needs to pack each one of these and that takes time.

There will not be a third wave as we are unable to produce and deliver additional units.

We have added a wave 2 of Ajax to the pledge tiers here: Ajax Edition - Second Wave

Thanks,

The MCDM Team

It’s only just been 2 hours and we’re fully funded?!? 

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!
I can see us easily getting to those stretch goals, I’ll have to make some more 🤣. Be sure to check out our community discussion and let us know what other bags you’d like to see, since it’s looking very likely we’ll get to do them!

Again thank you all so much, so excited to get to make these new bag designs because of you!

It's been a bit over 24 hours since we launched, and we've already hit our first stretch goal!! The Bullfrog Backpack is now available as a pledge tier OR as an add-on!

I also wanted to clear up some confusion over the "frog bag of your choice tier", yes it does include beetle bag as an option! Any crossbody bag from this campaign will count! I've edited the description of this tier to clarify since we've had some people asking. 

I'll be working on some new bag designs based on everyone's suggestions so far, so expect a poll soon to decide the next stretch goals after the tree frog bag!

Designing The Game: Tactical Heroic Cinematic Fantasy

We've officially unlocked our 2nd stretch goal!! The Tree frog Bag is now available as a pledge tier OR as an add-on!

For those of you who chose the "frog bag of your choice" tier, this will now be able as one of the options during the survey!

The response to this campaign has been absolutely INSANE!!! I didn't expect us to get this far within only the first 2 days, so I don't have anymore stretch goals prepared just yet... But I'll have them ready soon! There will absolutely be many more frog bags and potentially some more backpacks, but is there anything else you'd like to see as add-ons? Keychains, phone grips, enamel pins, more stickers? Let me know and I'll keep that in mind as I'm designing over the next week!

We have a long way to go for sure, but we are still looking forward to being able to get these cards to you. Be sure to share this project with those you know who are fans of unique takes on monsters or who just enjoy playing 5th Edition in any capacity. The more support we get the more we can bring to your tables.

There is another Poll going up to vote for another Monster Poster slot between the Deep Bulette, Nothic, and our fabulous Havokite.

With 100% of the votes, the Kobold secured it's spot in the Monster Poster Pack. As such here is a Flat of the Kobold of a Brown Scaled Kobold. These gorgeous beauties have the ability to dish out a 15ft cone of Acid Damage as well as cast either Mold Earth or Earth Tremor Once per Day. 

Our Kobolds are definitely no slouches in or out of combat utilizing surprisingly advanced combat strategies such as Guerilla Tactics which allow them to move up to half their speed as a Bonus Action. They also learn Minor Illusion upon entering adulthood and as the grow in age their sorcerous abilities improve as well. The eldest of them are known to use such spells as Snare or Invisibility.

Eric will be joining Stronghold DnD for a Holiday One-shot on their Twitch Stream. So be on the lookout for those Links. 

In addition, the full roster of the Giants & Monstrosities Deck is ready to be revealed:

The Names are still pending so if you have suggestions for names the Comments are open for you all to discuss. In addition, if you have ideas for Giants or Monstrosities to add in please use the comments below to mention them as well. 

Penny Dragon Games is starting work on a series of One-Shots that build upon each other towards an ultimate goal. The Tomb of the Undead King is the first in that series, has already funded and is looking to be a huge hit. It closes 90 minutes from the release of this update, so Don't delay and miss out on this addition to your arsenal. 

Ice Arrow Games is launching a new product over on Kickstarter TOMORROW, and we are excited to check this bad boy out when it launches. It's looking to contain over 100 fantastic NPCs that will work great with your next 5e game.

The update is a little late (we were preparing for a local convention yesterday and went there today - and we can tell you that it is really fun!), but we hit the first stretch goal - which means we will be working with an artist to make sure the book has even more art inside!

If you know how we build our adventures - ready to support multiple systems - we looked at Black Flag Roleplaying and thought that The Dead Mines might be a very good first foray into that... And so, if we hit the next stretch goal, we will make sure that The Dead Mines for BFR will be ready to play on release time - and ready for Black Flag in any VTT that will support it.

Well, that went fast! I have gone to grab some food, returned, and we are already funded... and in less than 30 minutes (and when I am writing this we are nearly at 200%)! So, first of all, we here at Dragonshorn Studios - me, Ayatee, and, of course, Geezer, want to thank you!

Fantasy books need art - and we love art - but getting beautiful illustrations is pricy! While the Dead Mines will be beautifully illustrated, we want to add even more art pieces to the book - so you and your players can feel like you're in the Blackrock Mines in person! Reaching the goal will help us hiring more artists to get even more art!

Remember that if you missed getting our earlier adventures in print - it's one of the only chances to get one! We have added add-ons that will allow you to grab our earlier printed books easily!

We are live and raring to go. We're already over 10% funded and still have a ton of time left to go.

Be sure to pledge today and SHARE, SHARE, SHARE to get the most out of your pledge.

Just last night, we got another Review in from Thom the mind behind DM Thom, that brings us up to 5 exciting reviews in our review section.

Take a look at what he had to say about the cards we sent him:

If you're on the fence about whether to back us or not be sure to check out that Reviews section.

We're also going to be Live Streaming a new episode of our Podcast tomorrow night and we would love to have you join us and watch as the Rebels continue on their quest to hatch a Shadow Dragon Egg they discovered earlier in the show. So be sure to join us as we live stream it here as well for you all at 6pm Eastern. 

We hope to see you all there, and we will be taking questions after the recording about anything related to Beyond the Beasts.

This week, we finalized the rosters for each of the 6 decks, and lore is starting to roll in already.

Over in Giants & Monstrosities:
Naga - These monstrosities of the Desert are notorious for the secrets they keep and their eerie similarities with other sentient races.

Chimeras - These forest dwelling hunters seek out food enough to feed a small army just to survive. Rumors say it's tail is as vicious as the two heads that paralyze you in place. 

Rime Giants - These Giants of the Ice aren't your typical Frost Giants, their origins are unknown but rumor has it that they were spawned from the Ice Titan themself to win a war against to Gods.
 
Zephyr Giants - Cousins of the Cloud Giants. These mischievous prankster are often mistaken for other giants are their skin tone reflects the color of the ground they traverse. 

More to come, so stay tuned... 

This Community has been amazingly helpful and supportive of us as a brand new creator, so it's only right that we give back and show our support for them.

Ice Arrow Games is launching a new product over on Kickstarter next week, and we are excited to check this bad boy out when it launches. It's looking to contain over 100 fantastic NPCs that will work great with your next 5e game.

Giants of the North is at it again guys, they've got another Kickstarter. It's only got 13 days left before it closes. Bards vs Humility is the Party Game for all the Spicy Bards in your life. 

The fantastic folks over at MCDM Productions have been doing amazing work in the TTRPG space for quite a while now, as I'm sure you're ALL aware. If you haven't backed them, I would definitely suggest it. Their products are always amazing, and their finally reaching out to create their own full TTRPG.
