Heroic Beginnings: Fighter & Wizard Owlbear Accessories

Hey all!
Been working with the manufacturer about quantities, and getting the fishing kit illustrated up to be used
and i think we have the following

 herring

Trout


Chest (concept art)

Boot (concept art)

Crab (concept)

Fishing pole (handle)


There’s some tweaks to see how these will look once actually in shape, but we know pretty feasibly how the fishes will turn out.

More updates to come! 

Hey All,
Two things to note!
I just sent out the 'smoke test' surveys (which sents it out to 10% of backers),  this helps us iron out any issues that come up before everyone gets in.  (so if you see anything please let me know).

Also, we haven't done this before on our projects but we'll be charging shipping later. Since I'm unsure about how much everything weighs and how these packages will come together, this is the safest option for us until we figure out what these things will look like and how they can be packed.

(if we get to charging shipping and it ends up being too much,ill work with you to figure out a solution, be it changing order,refund, or something else. 

I should be getting the rest of the surveys either sent out tonight or tomorrow!

Allthe best, 
Andreas

Hey all!
Sorry for the delay, after the campaign came San Diego Comicon, which was immediately followed by GenCon, and then after that I started my new job (yay)...its been busy the past few weeks.
That said, I have had conversations with the manufacturer, and we're getting things lined up for production (like bags for the accessories and swatches for purple). We also did some resizing of the accessories to better fit the shape of what we're looking for. The next thing I really need now are counts!   
So this weekend ill be preparing the pledge manager, and i should have it up and running by this tuesday/wednesday. And as part of the survey, ill make it where you reselect your owlbear colors. (as we get the purple swatch). 


All the beast!

Good Morning!
I'm happy to announce that we've reached 100k and have unlocked the PURPLE OWLBEAR!!

Both the purple owlbear and the fishing kit have been added to the add-ons menu.

In addition they will be avaliable to add in the post-campaign pledge manager when the campaign ends.
Any tier that lets you get an owlbear will now include the option to choose the purple owlbear.

The fishing kit is not part of any tier and is currently only avaliable via add-ons or post-campaign pledge manager. As noted in the last update, the fishing kit is in a bit of a price flux, depending on how much the fishing rod is, and the other little fishing trophies. I'd personally prefer it be less than the classes, ideally at $15, but cant gurantee it at this point until i get it through protptying. That said its less complicated than the wizard hat/fighters shield, so it will be less. If it ends up being less, ill provide the a shipping credit or a simple refund when that time comes.

And of course (since this is going to all our baby bestiary followers), we have the class accessories, for Wizard and Fighter! (we've got the bard, druid, and rogue slated as our next classes). 



There is so much going on behind the scenes (esp with GenCon coming in the next two weeks). 
Campaign runs till this afternoon 4:00pm PST / 7:00pm EST to push this owlbear as far as it can go, but if people keep pledging the campaign will remain open (something called overtime that Backerkit is doing).

Thank you again for all the love and support,if you can share this campaign with your relevant RPG circles, id really appreciate it.

Hey Caretakers!!
As of posting we're just about $3500 from 100k! On Friday we raised 7k (with the two days prior being ~4k/day). This ultimately means we're going to inevitably unlock the purple owlbear so that we can have a stronger final push.
To be ready, I've added the fishing kits as well as the purple owlbear to the Add-Ons section, and have updated the page for the final announcement when it inevitably hits.


Some notes,
Fishing kit. is still in a bit of flux in terms of figuring out pricing. Ideally id want it to be less than the class kit (hoping $15 or $20) , but i need to get the final manufactures estimate to really nail that down, so for the time being it will be the higher one.
 
Purple. Any pledge that lets you pick an owlbear, you'll be able to select purple as well (in the pledge manager when that time comes). 

----
Anyways campaign ends at Ends on 4:00pm PDT, and I would really appreciate it you could share this campaign around to your socials and/or campaign groups to see if we can find more owlbear caretakers.

Its been a crazy journey seeing how the vision of doing a plush for the Baby Bestiary 9 years ago and having it be realized as the most popular D&D plush out there.
Thank you again for all the support,
