Latest Updates from Our Project:

Over $102,670 (Previous Record), and Playtest Material!
over 5 years ago – Sun, Jan 20, 2019 at 03:34:45 PM

Hi all,

We've passed our previous all time record for Kickstarter funding of $102,670!!! We still have three full days till the campaign ends, so who knows where this one's going to go!

Playtest Material. As a super special treat, we're releasing a very small section of the Random Trap Generator as a part of our playtest material. You can download on our website through the link below. Keep in mind that this is just 10 triggers and 10 effects. The version in the book and card deck will have 50 triggers and 50 effects.

48-Hour Reminder. There is an email that Kickstarter sends out to everyone who clicked on the Remind Me button on the main campaign page. We usually see a huge amount of funding once we hit the 48-hour mark. Please make sure to include the end date and time of January 22nd at 9pm PST when letting your friends know that the project is almost over!

New Stretch Goals. Take a look at the main campaign page for our $110,000-$150,000 stretch goals. If we make it past $150,000 we'll have to get creative ;)

Thank you again for supporting our project! We are so grateful to all of our fans and we also appreciate all of you new backers!

Happy Gaming!

Dog Might Deck Jackets!
over 5 years ago – Sat, Jan 19, 2019 at 11:09:54 AM

w00t! Not only did we pass $80,000 in funding today, but we also received pictures of the first Deck Jacket prototypes from Dog Might! Feast your eyes on these gorgeous accessories which come in a Flame Birch or Demon's Blood finish, both with a laser engraved Treacherous Traps Logo. They also have dividers to hold all 6 of your decks as well as rare earth magnets to hold the top and bottom of the jacket together.

These deck jackets are a premium item and they come with a premium price tag, but they are 100% worth it! You can add a deck jacket to any pledge for $100, or you can choose a pledge level that includes a deck jacket such as the $166 level and $200 level.

These may or may not be something we stock after the campaign on our website. Depending on the response we get, we may have Dog Might make these sort of deck jackets for our other products such as critical hit decks, wandering monster decks, treasure decks, etc.

Keep up the great work with spreading the word about this project as we head into the final days! We're so excited by the momentum we've built with this campaign! 

Thank you for your support!

$70,000 and Cover Mockup!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Jan 16, 2019 at 05:37:40 PM

Hi All,

We're well into the lowest funding days of the campaign, and yet we are still striding through stretch goals like a rogue jumping through a series of scything blades as the stone door at the far end of the passage way slowly closes. Run you fool! you'll be trapped forever!!!

Ehem... sorry about that... anyway, where was I? Ah yes, stretch goals. We've passed the $70,000 mark and we're headed toward $80,000 and Pre-Built Dungeons. We're coming up with some more stretch goals for $100,000 and beyond, but we're going to need your help to make it there. We're headed into the final week of this campaign tomorrow, so please make sure to share a link to this project with all of your gamer friends and tell them they can't miss it. 

As a little bonus we wanted to share the cover mockup with you. We've had quite a few revisions but we think we're getting this thing just about perfect. Enjoy!

Mid Project Update
over 5 years ago – Mon, Jan 14, 2019 at 04:06:20 AM

Hi All,

We just wanted to post a quick update as we head into the weekend and the mid point of this campaign.

Player-centric Material. Based on the response we received from our last update, it would seem that player-centric material is what many of you want added to the book. With that in mind we added a new stretch goal to add all sorts of content that is focused on players and their ability to create traps of their own.

Playtest Material. We're putting the finishing touches on some playtest material that features pre-built traps, a small part of the random trap generator (we can't give it all away after all), and examples of complex traps. Stay tuned for an update featuring this material with instructions on where to claim your copy.

Breaking Records. As of right now we've already broken our own personal record for most funding by the middle of a campaign, but we expect that when the dust settles we will have passed our highest funding record by a wide margin. We have committed a lot of advertising dollars to this campaign, but it's your sharing that makes the real difference. Thank you for all the shares with all of your gamer friends!

Super Secret. We're working on a super secret collaboration related to this campaign with another well known gaming company. More details next week. Stay tuned ;)

Mid Week Update - Additional Stretch Goals?
over 5 years ago – Sun, Jan 13, 2019 at 03:25:01 PM

Hi All,

We've just passed $52,000 in funding and we still have 2-weeks left! We are working on some additional stretch goals that would fit well in this book, but we'd like your thoughts. Please take a look at the current stretch goals on the main page and weigh in the comments of this update. We look forward to seeing what else you'd like to see in this book!

Again, thank you very much for backing this project! Please continue to share a link with all of your gamer friends!
