Last 3 days!

We are into the last 3 days of the campaign. We are now at a total of 54 creatures, which will come in around 116 - 120 pages total. We are also less than $1000 away from unlocking the Lesser Gods zine, which everyone will get as a PDF and will be available in Backerkit as a physical add on (assuming it is unlocked).
Spread the word, We are coming close to the end and we could get a couple more stretch goals unlocked!
2 Weeks In!

Folks, we are sitting at 2 weeks in with a week and a half to go. We have hit one stretch goal to date, adding 4 more monsters to the book. That puts us at 50 monsters in the book right now! Another $500 (20 backers at the physical book level) and that moves up to 54 monsters in the book!
We have a week and a half to go and with 356 "watchers" I am confident that if we keep getting the word out about the campaign we will hit at least another couple stretch goals! Hopefully we can get to $10,000 and get a solid hardcover book!
FUNDED!

Hello all!
I'm happy to announce that yesterday afternoon, we have funded! We have about 2 and a half weeks to go and a whole lot of stretch goals to hit! Speaking of which, we have revised the stretch goals a wee bit. We have brought some of the "easier" goals down in price, while keeping the goals that have higher price points around where they had previously been.
Please share the campaign around anywhere you have not seen us drop a link! The more Shadowdark players know about it, the better chance we have to get the sweeter goals, such as hardback books!
Update 2: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together!

Hello Shadowdarklings and Creature Lovers!
Last update we toyed with the idea of offering up the revised printing of Creature Companion for Old-School Essentials here at a discount alongside the Shadowdark edition you are all here for. Many of you expressed interest in being able to get both versions, and so we are making the OSE version available here at a discount with the Shadowdark version! These will be at a discount when backed together, in both digital and physical editions! Reward tiers are up now! You can see the two covers side by side below.
Additionally we would like to give a shout out to our friends at Kabouter Games who have a Kickstarter running for Legendary Locations, a system agnostic book of non-adventure based locales. This should be a very handy book for any GM/Referee/DM/Judge. How many times are you in need of a tavern, temple or other place of interest and don't have one ready on the fly? This book provides such locations to be dropped into any campaign as needed! It's always better to have an interesting place for the PCs to visit than a dull and routine one. You can check it out here:
The First 48 Hours
11 months ago
– Wed, Jan 10, 2024 at 06:42:33 AM
Hello everybody!
Thank you for the exciting first 48 hours! At the time that I write this we are 70% funded! That isn't too bad for 48 hours. What's more, we have SO many folks "following" the project that if they were all to back, we would not only fund, but blow past the first stretch goal, regardless of what level they back at!
That said, we would love to hit as many of the stretch goals as possible to give you the best book/books we can! To help make that happen, feel free to share the project around. The algorithm on social media does not always make certain that people interested in these things see our posts, so the more chatter about the project, the better to get it in front of folks!
One last thing on this initial update. We only have a handful of the original Old-School Essentials version of this book left (partly due to a big shipping snafu in which 45 copies were damaged.) We plan to bring the OSE version in line with what Shadowdark fans are getting and reprinting it, around the same time that we print the SD version in this Kickstarter. So, the question is, are any of you interested in getting the book in both flavors, Shadowdark and Old-School Essentials? If there is enough interest, we will create a new reward tier that will offer both versions together at a discount. Please let us know in the comments on this update.
