Update #14: Custom Die Unlocked and Time to Vote!
over 4 years ago
– Sat, Mar 14, 2020 at 01:59:01 AM
We did it! We smashed through Stretch Goal #6 and it's time to vote on another die to unlock. Yay, team!!!
Here's the LINK!
You will have 48 hours to vote (fewer if we reach another Stretch Goal before then, but always a minimum 24 hours.) What die do you want to unlock, and do you want to unlock any more before we close the doors on this Kickstarter? I'm game to share and push forward if you are! There's still some amazing dice locked down and campaigns tend to see a lot of action at the end if they've done well earlier, which ours has throughout, thanks to you wonderful folks!!
According to Kickstarter's analytics, we have a large number of folks watching, so reaching another goal is possible and Kicktraq has confirmed we're trending to do so, if we forge ahead. If you want more, now's the time to reach out- or continue to reach out online!
Between all forms of sharing online, we currently have 18 recorded shares out of the 80 needed to smash the Social Stretch Goal to unlock yet another die. (Be sure to tell me when and where you share the campaign link in a comment. The share can be a direct campaign link, my Facebook post or your own - a pic helps!) There are over 400 of you and you can share more than once, so smashing that goal is super doable if you want to, and it also brings us closer to Stretch Goal #7 if you want it. Whatever you guys want to do, I'm thrilled and grateful. You all have been wonderful, and I look forward to getting these awesome dice made and into your hands!
Cheers! ---Bob
Update #13: Dice Overview (What's locked and what's not!) + News
over 4 years ago
– Thu, Mar 12, 2020 at 01:48:39 AM
Hi, all. You guys are awesome —we've come so far, and we have just under a week left to unlock some more exotic dice you won't find in stores! Here's a concise summary of the campaign:
Discounts: Don't forget the more dice you pledge for, the bigger the discount (See the Bulk Savings chart!) You can also get multiple Reward Tiers —just select the highest tier to lock in that discount, and then you can add additional tiers (the same one or lower ones) by simply adding to your pledge. If you opt to add one that is lower than your selected tier, we will honor your selected tier discount and apply it to the lower tier, too. In that case, simply pledge for the discounted rate based on number of dice x cost per die. Or cover the full price and apply the remainder toward shipping or Add-Ons in the BackerKit store later. Feel free to PM me if you would like a more detailed explanation of this.
Social Stretch Goal Update (to unlock another die): So far, we have 14 recorded shares out of 80. In the Comments recently, I opened up this goal wide so now you can share not just on Facebook, but also Twitter, Pinterest and Reddit! (Please post where you shared so I can count it!) Once again, here's the LINK to share.
And you can share the Kickstarter campaign link itself (though including a pic of our dice really helps!) The social deadline is end of day 3/14, so people have time to act on your shared post.
That's a really easy Stretch Goal that can be smashed in a single day by a handful of you. The good news is that even if we don't break it, the more you share, the closer it will bring us to unlocking another die, via the funding Stretch Goal, so it's a win-win either way!
600: We have a little over 600 folks who requested that Kickstarter remind them in the last 48 hours of the campaign that they were interested in it, so we should be getting quite a few more backers, likely. That isn't even counting the new folks who are still discovering and joining the campaign each day. We are nearing the next Stretch Goal very soon, and hopefully at least one more after that!
Kicktraq: Our progress has been tracked closely since Day 1 by Kicktraq and their assessment aligns with that —2 more Stretch Goals will likely be unlocked, but as I said, we have a lot of good folks watching and a great offering at a great price, so hopefully we'll squeeze in another one after that, but we have to act fast and spread the word!
Never give up. Never surrender! Okay, that was corny, but I believe together we can smash some more Stretch Goals. What do you think? Sound good? Your sharing is more powerful than mine could ever be, but I'll continue just the same. Whatever happens in the next 6 days, you all have been incredible and I couldn't be more grateful!
Thanks! —Bob
P.s. Regarding the free Harbinger PDF and Print & Play rough draft board game I mentioned earlier —I haven't forgotten about them, but I've lost a huge chunk of time dealing with the big change in shipping partners I mentioned earlier. It's nothing to worry about, but it has really slowed me down and I'm still not done setting it up. I'm sneaking in time for the Harbinger pdf here and there and should finish it soon. (It will be in the same vein as the Overkill pdf I posted earlier that also works well with the Underkill. As for the board game rough draft I talked about that uses the Harbinger (3 Harbingers, actually—3 of them provide some pretty amazing options in games and I'll be using them in several of my designs) —well, I may not have the rough draft ready for public consumption prior to the end of the campaign, but I'll be sure to get it to you when it's ready—including offering updated versions via Update when they become available. Fun stuff!

Stretch Goal #5: New Unlocked Die and News!
over 4 years ago
– Sat, Mar 07, 2020 at 12:13:23 PM
Hi, all.
Another close race! Here's the screenshot from the latest vote showing the Overkill D20 (Dark Blue w/White paint) winning by 3 votes . . .
Never give up!: Please don't be discouraged if the die you were hoping would win a vote doesn't. All dice that remain locked are put into future votes, and hopefully we'll have several more votes before the campaign ends! Whatever the outcome, a lot of great dice have been unlocked. If a handful of you do the fast and easy Social Stretch Goal, that's yet another die that can be unlocked in no time! The Facebook goal currently has 7 shares out of the 80, which isn't many, considering some folks on Facebook are also sharing it.
The sharing only takes a few seconds, and could easily be completed in a single day (there are well over 300 of you now!) If you want another die unlocked faster, that's the easiest way to do it. 'Nuff said. I won't bring it up again.
BackerKit and Pre-orders: Please note that I am slowly setting up a BackerKit account, which you can use to make address updates, tweak your dice selection before finalizing, etc. after the campaign ends, for a time, before I place an order with the factory. I will also make pre-ordering a thing for those who miss this campaign, but non-backers will receive their dice later than backers. You deserve that for standing with QT Games!
Further, because I had cut the price of the dice as low as possible, and then cut it back further still for those taking advantage of the Bulk Savings element of the campaign, pre-order pricing will necessarily be higher than what you are seeing as a backer. (QT Games does have bills to pay and taxes, after all.) If after finalizing your pledge you later return to Backerkit to snag some more dice as a shopper, rather than as a backer, or if I open a Shopify store for a time and you go there, you will see higher prices than I put in this campaign, but I think they will still be reasonable for higher quality Q Workshop dice.
QT Games does a lot more than custom dice, so you may see some of our other creative goodies in the BackerKit store and on our website in the days ahead that you won't find here (fiction, art and tabletop games), but hopefully we'll be able to return with more dice down the road.
You guys have been amazing with your support and I'm grateful for each one of you wonderful backers! We are super close to unlocking another die—just $54 USD away as of this Update! Hopefully on Saturday I'll have a super short Update with a new vote link in it, and a new Stretch Goal up on the main page that I think you're going to really like!
It's super late here in Las Vegas, so I'm off to bed.
Cheers! —Bob
Stretch Goal #4 Vote, Clarification and New Social Stretch Goal!
almost 5 years ago
– Wed, Mar 04, 2020 at 01:44:09 AM
Hi all.
Before I dive into the the goodies, an important clarification. . . . I had thought that the day before launching the Kickstarter I had gone in and changed all the reward tiers to read "unlocked dice", but apparently I never did as it still reads "unlocked D20s". Kickstarter doesn't let you change reward tiers, but I recently put a clarification up on the page, after someone questioned it.
You may indeed pick from any unlocked dice, not just D20s. You can even take the same tier multiple times or even two different tiers (just be sure to read the "Bulk Savings" entry to be sure you are doing it in a way that saves you money. I moved that entry higher up on the page.) All dice tiers you pick will be provided at the same pricing structure as the tier you actually pledge for (You can only pledge for 1 tier, but to get more dice, simply add more funds to your pledge, and after the campaign, you'll be able to pick which dice you want to complete your order, using BackerKit.)
New die! As many of you probably know, we hit Stretch Goal #4 and so it's time for another vote. This is a big one with 6 dice competing. I'll post the link in a private Update in a few minutes, as before.
We are also launching a Social Stretch Goal to unlock yet another cool die by sharing a link we provided on the main page under Social Stretch Goal. It is our hope that by your sharing, not only will you get an extra die unlocked, but that many others will discover us and back so that we can unlock even more dice! Make sense? The Social Stretch Goal is very achievable. If all of you share, that would be wonderful and very effective, I'm sure, but I kept the requirement low to make it easier for you!
Clicking on the image, below, will take you there. You can also find the link on the main campaign page.
As for the Facebook post to share, you'll see it right away when you follow the link. It looks like this, except with some more text:
Okay, now off to create the link for you. Please keep an eye out for it. Thanks, all. You're the best!
Bob
