Another Stretch Goal in the Bag!
about 5 years ago – Wed, Mar 27, 2019 at 12:04:04 AM

"There's nothing like a nice piece of Hickory"

We hit our $10,000 stretch goal!  Hickory will now be added to the Naiad Series of woods, so if you pledged for the Naiad Dice Chamber or Naiad Essential Chamber, Hickory will be an option!  

Hickory is the traditional wood choice for great things like axe and hammer handles.  It's one of the most stable and strong species of wood that grows in the US, and it looks pretty nice, too!  

The next stretch goal is another beautiful and detailed map made by Shing Cartography.  At $12,000, "Byrlond" joins the other art engraving options, and I gotta tell you, I think this one is my favorite map!  Please share with your adventuring party so we can reach the next goal!  Down the line, we've got more stretch goals for additional monsters, woods, and even custom text engraving! 

As always, you can come say hi to me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter! 

Thank you all for supporting Dryad!

FUNDED!

We did it!  Thank you all so much! 

Big shout out Aaron, one of my biggest supporters, and the guy who pushed me to that 100% mark.   Even though Aaron got us over the mark, this project wouldn't be happening if it weren't for each and every one of you beautiful backers.  Thank you thank you thank you! 

Now, let's talk stretch goals!  We're less than $1,000 away from every $30+ backer receiving a Golden Dryad coin made by Shire Post Mint, at no additional cost!  These were a stretch goal last time around, too, and I'm really excited to bring them back.  Shire Post Mint makes awesome fantasy coins from the world of Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Mistborn, and a lot more.  These coins are a perfect "d2," or 50/50 chance determiners.  They also look like beautiful ancient gold, so not only are they useful, but they'll add a little ambiance to the game table!  

Down the line, more stretch goals include artwork by the talented Shing Cartography and Big Bot Design, additional wood options, and even custom text engraving!  SHARE with your friends so we can hit these goals!  

Once again, you can follow me and this project more conveniently on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

P.S., be sure to check the FAQ again later; I'm updating it with more info about laser engraving, box dimensions, etc.  

68% in 24 Hours! Thank you! (also i've got some a's for your q's)

Thank you all so much!  It's been a fantastic first day!

I can't believe how much progress was made in just the first day!  Thank you all so much!  I can't wait for the next 29 days!  Please do me a favor, and share this campaign with your friends/family/adventuring party so we can get to the funding goal, and start reaching those sweet, sweet stretch goals! 

Here's a couple quick questions I've been getting: 

Where I can I keep up to date with this project?

I plan to post regular updates here when it comes to news and progress reports, but if you want to see what's on, on a more day-to-day or casual basis, you can find me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.  I keep those pretty updated, and respond to questions/comments there more quickly. 

How will I select the specific wood/art engraving/foam insert that I want? 

Right now, just make sure you've selected the correct pledge tier (the wood options are split into three series) and added the total amount for each add-on + shipping. After the campaign is over, I'll send out a survey and gather all the specifics and your mailing address. 

What if I want to add something later on?

You can always adjust or increase your pledge amount while the Kickstarter is still live.  After the Kickstarter, you'll still be able to make adjustments, buy additional Chambers, and add add-ons once I've sent the survey out.  

How long will shipping take? 

Not long hopefully!  Unlike my previous Kickstarter, I don't need to move into a new workspace or purchase more than a few new tools, so I can get started right away, this time.  So, there's a chance you'll receive your reward before the projected shipping month!

I've got some more Q's in the FAQ section, so be sure to check that out. Let me know if you have any other questions or comments, and I'll get back to you asap! 

Thank you all so much!

Another stretch goal down!

Another monster is available for engraving!

Thank you all so much!  We've reached our $9,000 stretch goal: an additional monster available for laser engraving!  Now your chamber can feature the stunning and sneaky "tentacled tiger," illustrated by Big Bot Design!  

We're also most of the way to our next stretch goal: Hickory joins the Naiad Series!  Hickory is an extremely strong and sturdy wood, and was a popular choice in my previous kickstarter!  Hickory is the traditional material for hammer and axe handles, and if we reach this stretch goal, your chamber can be made from this amazing wood, too! 

Thank you all, and remember, you can find me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

P.S. By popular demand, hand-turned wooden pencils will be available as an add-on!  More info in a future update!
