Update
14 days ago – Mon, May 25, 2026 at 08:06:18 AM

Hey, folks! Just a quick check in.

We had some back and forth about some of the files a few weeks ago with our manufacturer and we had to tweak some things, but they're all good now. We should be getting the minis next month (June). 

I'm currently moving across the country, so it's quite busy over on this end. The good news is that I'll be living MUCH closer to our "warehouse", so when we get these bad boys in, I'll be able to help with the shipping as well. 

(Right now, it's all on Brad to do.)

So yeah, once we get the shipment, we'll be busting our asses to get them in the mail to you.

For anyone that's missed it, we have another miniature campaign going right now over on Backerkit!

We've hit a lot of stretch goals on this one. So far, everyone who backs this project will be getting FIVE free minis. That's pretty much a whole other set for free. 

Not only that, we have more free little dudes on the horizon. There are a whole SLEW of demons ready for you to summon them from the abyss. These guys are so big, we had to make larger boxes to put them in. 

(Plus, anyone who backs it by midnight tonight gets a free adventure). 

You can check them out here.

I hope you all have a great week, folks! I imagine the next update will be the news we're all waiting for.

Letting the (Demonic) cat out of the bag

Where we're at

Hey, folks! News and explanations today.

According to the manufacturer, we got about a month before the minis are on their way to us, at which point we'll ship them to you. We're pretty ahead of schedule so we shouldn't have any issue meeting that July ship date. Honestly, I find it hard to imagine that we won't be early.

Temple of Cytokk

The Temple of Cytokk stretch goals are all written - I just need to take them out for a spin yet and playtest it. If everything goes well, I'll get them into layout.

What's coming next?

So here's the weird thing - we're launching another miniatures campaign next month on Backerkit.

We're going to be launching the new one before this one is fulfilled, which... we're not a fan of. We were just presented with an opportunity while the wheels for the Dwarves and Orcs were already turning, and we couldn't pass it up.

Demonic Grimoire

Next month is Old School Essentials month! Necrotic Gnome is launching the Demonic Grimoire. I got to see an advance PDF copy and, real talk? It's friggin beautiful. 

I haven't been this excited about a supplement in a hot sec. The pages are PACKED with monsters, items, classes, information on demonic realms, etc, etc. The coolest thing, in my opinion, are the eight demon lords. Each is fleshed out with stats, their own realm, their followers - they put in the work with this book.

Collaboration

So that opportunity I was talking about? We reached an agreement with Necrotic Gnome to produce a limited run of minis for those demon lords. They're the biggest ones we've put out yet, brimming with extra chonk. 

The downside was that it HAD to happen next month. Since the Orcs and Dwarves we're all finished on our end (aside from getting them in the mail to you), we decided to go for it. Mustafa did some amazing work and we'll be bringing you four new sets of minis this time!

Bonuses!

Since you backed this campaign, you know that we love to give out freebies to folks who back earlier. Okay, so I honestly haven't announced this anywhere else yet, but here it goes. 

This campaign is going to run a full month. Excluding closing week, we'll be giving something free away each week, as long as you back it by the end of said week! In other words, you'll want to back early to get all the goodies. 

If you wanna vote on one of 'em, click here.

The Demogorgon!

We're not the only folks who are collaborating with Necrotic Gnome, though - there's all kinds of demonic goodness coming next month. We're working with a few other creators to give folks an exclusive mini when they back multiple campaigns.

It's a sexy beast, it is. We'll have more information on this during the campaign itself. 

So what's the TL;DR? 

  • We're hoping to recieve the Orcs and Dwarves in a month
  • We're launching a new campaign for limited edition demon minis next month, which won't interfere with the fullfillment of this one at all.
  • You should back it early to receive the maximum amount of freebies
  • I personally think you're really cool and hope you're having an amazing day.

Surveys sent!
2 months ago – Mon, Apr 06, 2026 at 09:07:31 AM

  • Backerkit surveys have been sent! Fill 'em out!
  • The files are with the manufacturer. We'll keep you posted about production time.
  • Make sure you grab Dark-Hoof Man-Bane in the add-on section. He wasn't available during the campaign and minotaurs are awesome.

That's it for now. Go check your inbox!

Pledge Manger - and check out this new mini!
2 months ago – Mon, Mar 30, 2026 at 07:11:21 AM

Hey, folks! We're on the verge of launching the Pledge Manager to deal with shipping and all that and I have something very exciting to share with you.

He has escaped from the maze and now terrorizes any travelers who dare wander the waste! Behold, Dark-Hoof Man-Bane, Minotaur champion! This is a large mini, just like the troll.

This fantastic specimen will be available as an add-on during the pledge manager, so be sure to reserve yours!

Okay, I know I used an excessive amount of exclamation points in this update, but I'm just that excited. Don't mini shame me.

Talk soon,
-James

That's a wrap!
3 months ago – Tue, Mar 17, 2026 at 07:21:03 PM

What a final day! We shot past the $7500 stretch goal, which means you're going to be getting more scenarios for the temple of Cyytok!

Next, we're going to work on getting the files to the manufacturer. We'll be launching the pledge manger in a few weeks for shipping. I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks for building this with us. I'll be in touch!
