Latest Updates from Our Project:
The Tarrasque! Last Week - Page Updates & More Social Goals
about 1 year ago
– Thu, Feb 02, 2023 at 08:12:01 AM
It's hard to believe that there is only 7 days left of this campaign. Kickstarters create a kind of time warp that's hard to explain. I've certainly been in it!
Social Goal Progress
This is really astounding! You smashed through Facebook so quick. Instead of just making us all wait for the retweets to catch up to the shares, I've added bonus content. There's now 12 tokens included in the social goals for when you all unlock them!
At the time of this update, we have a total of 408 Facebook shares and 66 retweets! I'm totaling the amount from the first pair of posts and the new ones. Thanks for getting the word out. It's amazing.

The Tarrasque
Need I say more?
Updated Set Graphics
I've been working to update the graphics on the main page. Some of the sets have had tokens added through stretch goals. Those will now look something like these:
If it looks to you like something is missing, let me know and I'll be sure to add it. We want the page to be as accurate as possible for the last page when traffic goes way up.
I've also added some free digital token samples for you to download. If you missed them, click the image below.
The Next Stretch Goal - Essential Encounters
When you unlock this stretch goal, each set will come with a PDF that allows players and GMs to play at a moments notice. Pick any set from your collection, read the encounter pdf and begin! Your system, your group, all fun!
I'm so excited about this stretch goal, folks! My hope is that this makes it so more people play. I just want to lower the barrier to entry for any session. Grab your tokens and gather around the table, go!
When you unlock the current stretch goal at 220k, I will share a sample PDF so that you can get see exactly how cool these are going to be!
Pintopia
My friend Chandler, (he's actually one of the good people that been helping me market this campaign) has his own crowdfunding project going right now.
I thought these 8-bit style pins were so cute I had to pledge for a couple. I even browsed through the other projects in the Pintopia collection and pledged for a few more. It's a neat project. I suggest you check it out. Click here.
Social Goals, Dark Matter Update, & Set Encounters

Hail and well met my friends,
As we approach the halfway point, I have a number of exciting things to share with you!
It's a news flash!
Social Goals
A number of you have suggested some social goals. Which is a great idea! And as such, I've got a great set for you to unlock: a long table and sixchairs... one chair is a very, very special chair!
For our social goals we're going to use Facebook Shares and Twitter Retweets. I've already posted the first set for you to share. I may change which posts you'll be retweeting and sharing, but I'll be tracking the overall total. This goal is big! But I expect you all will smash it before the end of our campaign and I'll have to produce another!
Our Dark Matter Crossover tokens have been set! It includes 6 of the playable races from the setting plus the terrible Vortirrackt and fan favorite Brain in a Jar. What do you think of the Brain in a Jar token illustration? I wanted to share it as soon as I had it complete!
Stretch Goal Teaser - Set Encounters
Another item that was overwhelmingly supported in our backer poll was Set Encounters. I've been working with my friend and amazing RPG writer, Kat Kruger to devise a plan. And we have one! More details will be revealed in the next update, but I can tell you I'm very excited. If you ever want to play a session with no prep, these encounters will facilitate just that!
Other stretch goals that I'm working on include, More Minions, Conditions & Effects, Humblewood, & Dinosaurs! Help me unlock them all, won't you?
Adaptable Encounters for D&D 5E & OSR offers Dungeon Masters material to enrich their current campaigns by focusing on unique situations that add variety and originality to the game.
Encounters are mostly system agnostic, except when combat arises, but now we have added, not only 5e Statblocks but also old-school monster statistics, compatible with pretty much any old-school edition of the World's Greatest Role Playing Game up to its 2nd edition; or any OSR system; with little to none extra work
Adaptable Encounters: Knights & Dragons include 10 encounters that can be added to your classic role-playing game of chivalry and dragons.
Adaptable Encounters: Space Perils include 10 encounters to enrich your weird and funny fantasy games in space.
This time we are also offering a new adventure for 5e and OSR titled Bridge of Suffering. The adventure will take players to the plane of shadows, where they will have to find a way to put an end to an evil that threatens their entire kingdom on the material plane.
Traps, Bones, & Cakes - Interviews with VCGaming & Nerdarchy

200k Stretch Goal Reveal
I'm so pleased with the responses so far from our backer poll. I will continue to take your feedback as we grow together. There was one run-away-favorite: TRAPS. Other items to got lots of votes were camping accoutrements, such as tents and a fire pit. Above you see the preliminary list and some art I was able to put together. I drew the spike trap just a few hours ago. I hope you like it.
As I was working on the details for this set, I felt like bones were another natural item to include. I am excited to reveal additional items from our poll. I'm sure you'll be stoked!
Live Streams
Tonight I have the privilege of joining Victory Condition Gaming for a live interview. We'll be discussing my personal journey in the gaming industry and I'm sure some industry news. It starts at 9pm Eastern US. You can join us here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblqh_21fuc

I'll also be joining Nerdarchy to chat about the state of RPGs and our beloved hobby on Friday at noon Eastern. I'll post a link soon.
A project I had to share

Let's choose some stretch goals!

Blast off!
I knew this product was amazing when I got samples from the manufacturer. I'm thrilled to see that you all agree! It's time to see how far this rocket will fly!
We've unlocked another Stretch Goal!
New stretch goals.
Some of you have already noticed I updated the stretch goals. I have a few more planned, but I can see you're hungry for more. I believe, we'll have a much better product if we build it together.
You'll have until we unlock the 225k stretch goal. But don't delay, that may only be a few days.
Dark Matter is from Mage Hand Press
Token Spreadsheet
I've uploaded a spreadsheet to google docs so you can more easily sort and search through what is available. You can find it here: Token Spread Sheet
Thank you for your amazing support!

An Unbelievable Day 2 - New Sets
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Jan 11, 2023 at 09:25:44 PM
You made us a "Project We Love"!
We almost have as many backers on day two as we did on day one! That is unheard of on Kickstarter. I'm amazed at how much this project is connecting with you all. You're sharing it and talking about it on social media and I've not even asked. I'm honored and thankful. One of our backers made an amazing walk through video of the project: RPG ESSENTIALS: Acrylic Creature Tokens for TTRPGs Kickstarter Promo with Mocha Bear < check it out.
It's taken me a bit to catch up on messages and comments. You all have been amazing and patient. I think I've gotten most questions answered. I've added a few items to the FAQ. If you haven't looked at that, please do so. Let me know in the comments below what I've missed.
New Sets Available
I thought it was a good idea to highlight the sets we've unlocked. Take a look below. These have also been added to the main campaign page.
When we launched I had around 95% of the art for these tokens done. I've been drawing them for nearly 2 years. I'm excited to have so many more to draw. It's really become a passion. I never expected drawing a top-down view would be. It was really challenging at first, but as I did more and more, I liked it more and more. I promise I'll get a few of thesenew ones done during the campaign so you can see them. The first one will be the Tarrasque. Rawr!
Stretch Goal Update
I've updated the stretch goals through 125k. These are some of my favorite creatures and monsters.
That's 12 more tokens added to the collection! There's something truly terrifying about the Manticore. And... I've got another crossover special for 150k. Stay tuned.
