Hey, wow! More than 600 backers and still about 2 days left to go.

And, only about $300 or so until Chapter 19: The Dhampir is funded!

The Exchange Contributor; Publisher, Kobold Press; RPG Superstar Judge

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!

Liberty's Edge

Yowzah! Chapter 20 the jinnborn funded fast!!!

We've got just bit over 24 hours left - let's get to the rest of the cool stuff ... Including Chapter 21 Sahuagin!!!

The Exchange Contributor; Publisher, Kobold Press; RPG Superstar Judge

Funded really, really fast.

Currently looking for backer #666..... Anyone? \m/

Expanded content for Gearforged funded. Up next Sahuagin which will make a great addition to an upcoming Razor Coast game.


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.

Would like to see them hit at least half of the backers they did for Deep Magic which would push us through the rest of the listed stretch goals.

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!


44000 exactly! Hello Sahuagin!

Liberty's Edge

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 $50,000 goal sounds like it's almost an entire second book, that's a big jump in content.

Woohoo. Minotaur hunters and expanded labyrinth magic achieved. Next up Serpents Tongue magic for Lizardfolk

The Exchange Contributor; Publisher, Kobold Press; RPG Superstar Judge

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.


So it is a separate book, excellent!

Though the focus is now on attaining the Serpent Tongues. The power of reptile-kind will not be denied.

Lizardfolk magic achieved. Now on to the NPC's

The Exchange Contributor; Publisher, Kobold Press; RPG Superstar Judge

The Serpent Tongue magic is a wonderful addition. Getting the NPCs is still possible, but we're down to the last few hours.

Still entirely doable.

Liberty's Edge

Less than $500 and a little more than an hour and a half to go to get the NPC Codex added!!!

We can do it!!

Congratulations to our friends at Kobold Press, and congratulations to those of you who pledged for this magnificent book!

30 minutes left. The project HAS added the NPC Codex for all backers!


Congrats!!! :D

Liberty's Edge

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! :)


It is my sincere hope that KP doesn't overload itself with KS projects. The Southlands project is still in the works and now there is this project. Just my concern and opinion.

The Exchange Contributor; Publisher, Kobold Press; RPG Superstar Judge

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.

Liberty's Edge

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!


I realize that Mark as I have backed several of them. I just don't want to lose one of two 3pp that I regularly support cause it got in over its head.

Liberty's Edge

Fair enough!

All I can say then is ... Not To Worry! :)

Liberty's Edge

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!

When is the PDF going out to backers?

Liberty's Edge

Typically, the PDF releases around the same time time the phyical book does (or a little before)


So in February? I thought it was supposed to release on January 20th.

The Books Are Shipping Now! :)

In fact, folks near Kobold world headquarters have already reported receiving their copies!

Sounds like the PDF will be released on Monday as well!

One of the advantages of living near publishers is, yes, getting books fast. XD I think I got mine... two days ago? Before I even got the message that they were being shipped. It's great. XD

Every backer, start checking your email... I just got my download link for the PDF! {Kermit flails}

Edit: Oooo, 68 MB download. So much pretty art.

The chapter/title art of each race is amazing. I loved the Dhampir. From first read through - fantastic stuff. I mean, I expect that from Kobold anyway, but this one is really really good.

Thank you, Lord Mhoram! We went a little crazy on the feedback/development/editing cycle this time around, because we wanted this to just shine shine shine.

There's also a Character Codex PDF coming soon, with 25 sample characters showing off the new options in convenient NPC form.
