We're soooo close to unlocking the Black Dragon!
Just under 12 hours to go until the end of the campaign. If we don't hit the target, like I said in the earlier update from today, I'll add the option of the Black Dragon as an add-on if we'll need 15 folks once surveys go out to add it in Backerkit.
First Postcard Designs!
There will be 6 total designs and here are the first 2. The dragons will be shaded like the rest of the stickers for the postcard but I wanted to share the idea I'm going for. I'll be posting the remaining 4 this weekend as I work on them on social media and when they are finished in another update at the beginning of next week.
Thank you to everyone for your patience and support! See you all on the other side!

Last 24 Hours! Blue and White Dragons Unlocked
over 3 years ago

Dawn of the Final Day
I am so thankful for the support in the last couple of days to get our squishy dragons unlocked! As of right now we've unlocked all but the black dragon.
Powered with Backerkit!
I am optimistic that we'll unlock the Black dragon by the end of today. However, if we do no,t there is hope! I'll be using Backerkit which has this really cool option for an "unlockable add on" that would be available if enough backers pledge to purchase it. I'm working out the numbers of how many folks would need to add it and I'll have that for you all tonight. Unless we unlock it before then. :D
Freebie unlock at $4,000
If somehow we end up knocking it out of the park, I'll be rolling out a second mini pin freebie (A Kobold or Goblin maybe? I'm open for suggestions) for Backers at the +6 pin tier and a KS Exclusive 3" Vinyl sticker for all backers! I'll be showing those in a post later tonight with the postcard designs.
What's Next, What to Expect
The campaign ends tomorrow, Halloween, the 31st, at 10am pst. After that time, all pledging ends and Kickstarter will begin charging Backers for their chosen tiers and Add-On's.
*Make sure your payment info is up to date!*
Surveys will be sent out to each individual Backer early next week. The survey will have all of your pledge information, including the number of pins designs you have pledged for and the full list of unlocked and available monster designs. Since I'll be using Backerkit the surveys will be going out much faster, their process is so streamlined! The other awesome part is that additional Add-Ons will be available for purchase with the surveys, but not charged to your credit card until about mid January and will ship with the initial rewards. To clarify, what you pledged directly to Kickstarter will be charged tomorrow, anything on Backerkit will be charged in mid January.
As always, thank you for your support and I will see you all tonight for a final hours update and art debuts.

Last 72 hours!
We've unlocked the Green Dragon and are on track to at least unlock the Blue dragon by the end of the campaign!
These are all the currently unlocked designs.
New Freebies!
A printable coloring sheet and mini D20 sticker for all backers has been added.
I am also gauging interest on a full 14 page coloring book of the pin designs as an add on. I've been shopping around for manufactures all week. Let me know what you think!
Take care, keep sharing(Bit.ly/RollKawaii) and thank you for your support!

Rat Mini Pin Freebie Unlocked and All Chromatic Dragon Stretch Goals Added
over 3 years ago
– Mon, Oct 26, 2020 at 02:22:19 PM
Freebie Unlocked!
We've unlocked the free Rat Mini Pin for all 4+ pins tiers and are creeping up to unlock the green dragon as well!
Chromatic Dragon Designs
All 5 of the dragon designs are finished and have been added to the stretch goals. I have to say that I thought the black dragon would be the most difficult but ended up being the most fun to design.
5 Days Left! O_O
The campaign ends Saturday morning at 10am PST, so please share as much as you can so we can get these adorable dragons unlocked! (bit.ly/RollKawaii)
Thank you to everyone that has already shared and pledged, I appreciate you so much. Final week friends!

Over Halfway Update, New Unlocked Designs, Add Ons and Goals!
over 3 years ago

We're over halfway there and 653% funded, WOW!
You all have unlocked the 1st of 5 chromatic dragons. Thank you all so much. I'm still working on the rest of the dragon designs to keep up with you all!
Current Unlocked Designs
ADD ON Progress
I'm working on the KS Exclusive print add-ons but wanted to update everyone with the mock up of the lanyards and photos of the Mimic Earrings! The lanyards will have dice and the monsters on the front and the back will have a simple D20 repeating pattern. The final color of the clips will probably be black, but I think this is a pretty accurate look at our finished product! I've also added a selection of colors of D20 stickers as well.
New Goals Added
The next goal to unlock is a free mini pin for all backers at the 4+ pin tiers. After that is the Green, Blue, Black and White Dragons.
I also added a pie in the sky, you never know, it could happen goal of an Owlbear plush if we reach $10k!
Are you interested in the process that goes into designing these enamel pins? Come join me as I stream my artwork process over on Twitch. I'm usually on in the late morning or late evenings Pacific Standard Time.
I also post polls and more updates over on social media if you are interested as well. For example, I am trying to decide on the final horn color for the Red Dragon and ran a poll over on Twitter recently. Twitter, Instagram & Facebook
Which do you prefer?
Lastly, I need your help!
I have a couple more campaign updates planned, but I've been so busy keeping up with the artwork that I haven't been able to be as active with that as I hoped. With nearly 200 people receiving this email update, the potential social reach is enormous, but I can't do it without your help! Forward this email to a friend, share the campaign link ( bit.ly/RollKawaii ) with a Group chat, Tweet/Blog/Story your favorite design so far, etc. Every single mention has the potential to make a HUGE and very real difference!
Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and support!
May you pass all your Ability checks.
