Congratulations!! You have freed yet another kobold! And I'm happy to announce that it's our brave blue fighter, Buckles!!
And we've heard your requests! We're endeavoring to make sure that Buckles' boots will be removable in her final form. We can't make any firm promises just yet, but according to the manufacturer, it shouldn't be a problem! We just want to make sure the quality is at a level we're happy with. But it'll open up a whole new type of accessory, a variety of stylish adventurer footwear! We'll keep you posted!
That leaves us with just two kobolds still trapped in that nefarious cage! Who trapped them there anyway?? Will we ever get an answer?
Polls open for the next kobold unlock tomorrow (Tuesday)! Be on the lookout for our backer-only update! The next kobold unlocks at $40,000! Help us keep the momentum going by commenting on and sharing the project with anyone you think might enjoy a little kobold love and adventure in their lives! Also if you have your eye on certain add-ons, adding them now helps us unlock more content even quicker! And once all six kobolds are unlocked, well, that's when the fun really begins...
Our very first accessory pack is being designed as I write this! You've heard about our Druid pack, but do you want to get a look at our early sketches of what it will contain? Geek Native published an exclusive first look! Go check it out and let us know what you think! Once we finalize the manufacturing costs for the druid add-on pack (and the pseudodragon) we'll let you know how to add them to your order! Stay tuned!
And sharing their article on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Slack, Bumble, WhatsApp, Pinterest, Waze, Livejournal, Coffee Meets Bagel, and on your local tavern quest board is a great way to support press coverage of the campaign, plus help us keep this project smashing through stretch goals and gaining access to new goodies for your new kobold kompanions!
Thank you for helping us bring these little cuddly friends into the world. We love them so much and seeing your comments and tweets and posts about how excited you are for them makes us so happy! If you do post about them, be sure to tag us at The Gallant Goblin so we can share in your excitement!
Let us know in the comments what other accessory packs you might want! What do you think of the druid pack so far? What other stretch goals would excite you?
Thank you, thank you! We're closing in on the half-way point of the campaign, and the best is yet to come!
Happy Sunday, little goblins!! Things have been moving rapidly here at Gallant Goblin HQ this weekend! We're still blowing past stretch goals and closing in quickly on the next plushie unlock! So be sure to get your vote in if you haven't already! We are now in the top 10% of plush Kickstarters of all time, and we haven't even gotten to the half way point of our campaign yet! Thank you all for your very kind support! Let's see how high we can go!
And here are our kobold sticker sheets, which we unlocked at the $20,000 benchmark! Each sheet is going to be 8x9 or 8x10 inches depending on how closely we can pack them together, which makes each kobold on the sheets about 2 inches tall (same as our pins). There are two sheets available, each for $10. You can add them on right now using the "Manage Your Pledge" button. Here's the Core Adventurers Sticker Sheet:
And here's the Fantasy Adventurers Sticker Sheet! A nice companion to the mini set, and perhaps a preview of some things to come!
Again, the sticker packs are available now. Each pack is $10. Just use the "Manage Your Pledge" button to add them!
Let's review all our unlocked stretch goals since last time!
$24,000 - Coda, our purple kobold bard was unlocked!
$25,000 - Baby owlbear mini added to Young Adventurers STL add-on pack! Look at that cutie! He just wants to be picked up! What could possibly go wrong?
$26,000 - Print & Play Item Reference Cards for Rory! We don't have any previews to show you of these just yet, but you'll be ready to adventure with these unique magic item cards for our favorite wizard! These will be free for all backers!
$27,000 - Veteran Barbarian Kobold mini added to Veteran Adventurer STL Pack add-on! This hulking kobold isn't fooling around with a scorpion-on-a-stick, that's for sure!
$28,000 - Druid Accessory Pack! You asked for it! It's happening! We're in the process of putting together a little accessory pack of items for your kobold plushie to make them into a druid! Now, this doesn't preclude us from making a named kobold druid plushie down the line, but that one will likely have a different set of accessories. We're working out pricing details with our manufacturer, but we'll let you know when you can add it to your pledge. We're also working with a press outlet to preview the druid pack, which should help us to get more eyes on the project! We'll keep you updated this week as we work out those details! So sit tight with us for a bit!
$29,000 - Print-and-Play Item Cards for Shep! We all love Shep and Pickles! Now we'll see what sort of magic items they've been collecting! Again, a freebie for all backers!
$30,000 - Bestiary Stats and Print-and-Play Cards for the monster minis! We have a few "monsters" (I use the term loosely) in those STL mini packs! We're going to make stat blocks and print-and-play reference cards so you can easily bring them to your table! Free for all backers who get at least one STL pack or plushie!
$31,000 - Print-and-Play Item Cards for Coda!
$32,000 - Another Kobold Unlock! If you haven't voted yet, it's not too late. Just be a backer of the project and use the link in Update 13 to vote. Voting ends as soon as we cross the $32,000 stretch goal!
The adventures of our little kobolds continue with a new web comic page over on BonfireBites.com! See the debut of Shep and Pickles! And check out the other free resources and adventures we've made available while you're there!
There's always so much we want to tell you in these updates! Things are moving swiftly and the next three weeks of the campaign are going to fly by! We appreciate all your trust and support! If you'd like to help us unlock even more content for this Kickstarter, please spread the word to your friends and family. Nothing helps more than that! Let us know in the comments what other accessory packs you'd like to see! Depending on how the next few weeks ago, hopefully we'll be able to make more than one during this campaign, but it is a significant investment. And if you have ideas for other stretch goals, we're always happy to hear. As a two-man crew, we can be fairly agile with the campaign, so keep those ideas coming! Until next time, stay gallant!

Thanks to you and the strongest funding day we've had since day 1, another kobold plushie has been unlocked!! And with 41.9% of the vote, the unlocked kobold is Coda, the bard!
Congratulations to all the Coda fans out there! I will say that 2nd place was exactly tied between two kobolds! So the next round of voting, which begins tomorrow, should be very interesting! Where will the Coda fans go from here? Buckles the tough but gentle-hearted fighter? Yuki the mischievious warlock? Or Flick the intrepid ranger? Check our Backers-Only update tomorrow (Friday) to let your voice be heard! The next kobold unlocks at $32,000, but we have quite a few stretch goals along the way, including some surprises that I think you're going to enjoy!
The final project in this cycle that we partnered with is The Deck of Many Quests - Gothic Horrors Expansion! These cards allow you to craft adventures (and loot and monsters) on the fly using a Mad-Libs style fill-in-the-blanks system! Watch our preview to learn more!
You can back The Deck of Many Quests - Gothic Horrors today at this link!
Today was an exciting day for D&D! Not only did we bring Coda into the world, but we also had D&D Direct, where a whole host of exciting D&D announcements were made! Come discuss Spelljammer, Dragonlance, Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, and all the new Wizkids minis on our Gallant Goblin Discord server! We'll let Coda lull us to sleep with her sweet lullybys, and we'll see you again tomorrow, little goblins!
