Chapter 19 is funded, and the Dhampir chapter is going in the book!
Next up are SRM's Jinnborn, and expansion for the Gearforged. Back it and get the goods for 19 playable races!

That's three stretch goals in about a 24 hour period. This was the second highest earning day for the project, second only to launch day, people are really getting the word out it seems (and probably deciding to finally jump in or pack on those add-ons).
If the last day is a repeat of today, the book is about to get a lot bigger.

And, don't forget this was only a 20 day Kickstarter!
More than 700 backers so far and only $100 or so before we hit the sahuagin chapter goal (written by some dude I've never heard of). This full color hard cover book is going to be roughly 300 pages (or more!) of awesome!
Better yet, after the sahuagin chapter goal, there are still more cool stretch goals, including my favorite - the NPC codex and showcase at $50,000! featuring fully fleshed out NPCs using all the races (and class archetypes etc) featured in the book!
Today is the final day though - so please check out the The Advanced Races Compendium today and get in on what is turning into one heck of a book!

Woo Hoo! Super excited to see the sahuagin chapter make it into the book!!!!
We're well on the way to the next goal - lots of cool, additional Minotaur goodness (hunter archetype and expanded labyrinth magic).
And ... there are still 9 hours to go! It's going to be close, but there's still time to get to the final listed goal, the NPC codex and showcase at $50,000!
Spread the word :)

The NPC codex is a chance for backers to contribute favorite characters, and for the book's designers to strut their stuff, and to make it super-easy to pull out and use.
It's major increase in the total number of NPCs. Because it's a PDF release (at least at $50k), it doesn't destroy the shipping and printing budget.

WOW!
For what was originally seen as a smaller project (hence, the shorter 20-day Kickstarter length) this ended up being a pretty fun ride!
Almost 800 backers and more than $50,000 raised! As a result, the Advanced Races Compendium hardcover is going to be even more fantastic (as will the NPC codex that all backers will now receive as well! :)

A totally reasonable concern!
Fortunately, we waited to launch this one until the Southlands project books were sent to press. Beyond approving printer proofs and working with our shipping team, there's not a lot for the Kobold crew to do until the Southlands launch.
Designers, artists, and editors all get bored when there's no project, so we're using our time on this next project.

Hey there silverhair - He's way to modest to say it himself, but I've worked with Wolfgang for a number of years, and I can say with absolute certainty that Wolfgang is AMAZINGLY good at keeping multiple projects organized and on track. He's also excellent at scheduling things like Kickstarters so that everything runs smoothly and stays on schedule.
As you may have seen mentioned by numerous folks over in the Kickstarter comments thread Kobold Press is very good at delivering on Kickstarters!
Marc Radle |
Just popping in to say that LOTS of cool stuff is happening with the Advanced Races Compendium! The glorious, full color hard cover book is in the printer's hands now and we're waiting on proofs. Things like the Character Codex are clicking along nicely (the art for this is really cool by the way) ... you might even see a preview of the cover in an upcoming Kickstarter Update.
Can't wait for folks to get this bad boy in their hands!!!
If you didn't jump on the Kickstarter, you can still preorder over at the Kobold store: Advanced Races Compendium Print + PDF Preorder now!
