You did it!  You broke 10k!!

In those last couple hours we were considering giving the 10k stretch goal anyways and then we hit refresh! LOL

So, a brief timetable.  Keep in mind, we're all sick right now and quarantining ourselves, so these first steps are a little slower than we planned.

Step 1: Finalize Options With New Photos & New Designs- (1-2 Weeks)

The first thing we will be doing is making samples of stained and inked D20s so that we have photos for all of you to see when you're filling out your BackerKit surveys.  We want you to understand your options, including the final appearance of the stained and inked options, and any new designs such as the Skull and Crossbones.

This process may take up to 2 weeks since we are currently quarantining in our studio and we need to get some fresh wood stains for a few of the color options we plan to have available.  We're making arrangements for that now.

New Designs!!  -  You've already seen an update with a couple of the new designs we've been working on, but we plan to spend the next 1-2 weeks of quarantine working on some new designs, including a circuit board design, a paw print, and a steampunk clockwork design.  If you have any design ideas PLEASE post them below or send them to us @DragonsClawTT on Twitter or [email protected]

Step 2: BackerKit Surveys- (Target Date: April 1st, no fooling)

When we launch the survey, you will have the option to choose from a number of add-ons including of course the stretch goal add-ons from the campaign. The BackerKit site will also calculate shipping and give you a total for any additional funds needed beyond your original pledge.  You will be able to select any add-ons or options, even if you did not originally pledge for them on Kickstarter.

Also, for those who missed the campaign, there will be an option to pre-order at the same costs for backers.  Pre-orders are of course fulfilled after the kickstarter fulfillment, but before we make the Nautilus available to the general public.

Step 3: Fulfillment

We're going to be doing a LOT of livestreaming during the fulfillment process, and we're working on a fulfillment section of our website where you can check the status of your Nautilus all through it's steps! Wish us luck because this is a huge thing for us, since transparency for our backers is extremely important!!

Step 4: Shipping and Our Next Kickstarter!!

Our goal is to send out the Nautilus well ahead of time, if possible in just a matter of a few months...

...because we already have our next Kickstarter in the works.  Stay tuned! :D 

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

IT'S OVER 9,000!! (Also, some much-demanded photos!)

Holy crap..

So, I know we set some very high stretch goals but to be honest we at ecstatic to have gone so far with this campaign!  If we had half this much it would be cause for massive celebration!  You are all AMAZING!

So, it looks like we might hit 10k at this rate (be sure to bug your friends!) and that means we're unlocking the inked options!

In the meantime, a lot of you have asked for photos of the various designs burned into wood.  We took the time and burned most of our designs, including some options on full engraving vs. line engraving.  We want to give you as many choices as possible without being overwhelming, since it's just as easy for us to make one vs. another.

As a heads up, before we launch the backerkit surveys we *WILL* have photos of all stain and inking options, as well as several designs we are working on (such as our circuit board design and a steampunk clockwork design).  There will be an update after the campaign ends with a timeline for all of our next steps!

For now.. PHOTOS!

Another Stretch Goal, Another Offer!

Stained Nautilus-es (Nautili? Nautilussess's?  I really should know this) are unlocked!!

So, we're getting into the final two weeks of the campaign and we've got a big offer for you guys.

This offer gets unlocked for *ALL* backers as a special stretch goal, ONLY if the following link is shared copiously and recklessly and, dare I say it, obsessively, throughout the Internet:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dragonsclawtabletop/the-nautilus-wood-d20-dice-case?ref=dgbq8q

This link has a referal code, so that anyone who uses it, and then backs the campaign, will be counted towards the goal.

If we get $2,500 in pledges from that code... then *EVERY* backer, regardless of pledge level, gets their choice of any $10 add-on!

If we get $5,000 in pledges from that code... then *EVERY* backer, regardless of pledge level, gets their choice of any $10 Add-On, as well as an acrylic dice set, and a small dice bag to separate their favorite dice from the assorted riff-raff in their Nautilus!

If we actually get $10,000 in pledges from that code... holy crap, you guys went to work.  You all, regardless of backer level, will get TWO(2) $10 Add-Ons, a couple acrylic dice sets, a couple small bags for your TWO favorite dice sets, and something special we will make just for you guys, such as a themed inspiration token exclusive to this campaign!  We'll let you vote on the final choice!

Spread that link like a wildfire!  We'll post a screenshot to show the referral code results and announce the prize!

Special Offer to Current Backers (First 50 Overall)
about 6 years ago – Wed, Feb 19, 2020 at 12:08:07 PM

This is a special offer mostly for those of you who have already backed us on 'The Nautilus"!

We're watching Twitter for the hashtag "#NautilusDiceCase"

Hop on Twitter and share the following link using that hashtag: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dragonsclawtabletop/the-nautilus-wood-d20-dice-case?ref=3ffmd0

That link contains a reference code so we can see how many people back the campaign using that link.

If we get $500 in backers off of that reference code, OR if we see 25 people share that hashtag with the link on Twitter, we're going to include a free gift for the first 50 backers!

This gift will vary depending on the success of the campaign, but it will start out as a free dice set from one of our suppliers (and we do not typically get plain opaque dice, we like pearlized sets, glitter, gemini swirls, translucents, etc..)

If the campaign does exceptionally well over-all, we'll increase all our free gifts to include things like Metal D20s, Keychains, Free laser etched items, etc..

I'll post updates on this mini-goal in the comments below!  Let us know what you think of this idea and we may do another when we get close to 75 or 100 backers!
