Boricubos: Latin American Monsters and Adventures

We're #1 AGAIN! Most-Backed LG Kickstarter Ever!
about 3 years ago – Fri, Sep 17, 2021 at 03:04:16 AM

Hi all, 

We already passed Asian Monsters for the highest funding in LG history a week or more ago, but today on the final day we also passed them for the highest NUMBER of backers ever! Nick E. helped us get close as backer #1900, and then Scott A. just pushed us over the line as backer #1941! Thanks to all of you for your fantastic support, and let's see if we can hit an even 2,000!!!

We have just over six hours left to go and are closing in on $110,000. We hadn't originally planned on stretch goals past $100K, but I've actually got one thing we could do that we'll be adding even though we won't have time to create a graphic for it.

*******************************************

MYTHIC MONSTERS $110,000: We'll be adding a set of enhanced monster stat blocks to the Pathfinder RPG version of Latin American Monsters using the mythic rules for that system. There were a few mythic creatures in the book already, but now you'll get a whole batch of supercharged versions of creatures from the humble xtabay to the awesome titan anaconda and the volcanic cherufe, including notes on mythic feats to support those stat blocks. 

*******************************************

Given there are no mythic rules for 5E or Pathfinder 2E, this bonus last-minute stretch goal is only for the one system that uses them. It's just a little extra cherry on top of the awesomeness sundae. Let's enjoy the final hours together and thanks for making us Legendary! 

27 hours left and over $100,000 at last!

Hello to each and every one and thank you for your amazing support in making this project soar to unprecedented heights! We so excited to see what the final day brings but we also want to celebrate passing this milestone with you! We especially want to thank Steven H as backer #1700 and Ruga Qwarrcall as backer #1800, along with Nathan S. for taking us to $95,000 and the immortal AbessiaMalktho for breaching the $100,000 barrier! This is a first for LG in our long Kickstarter history and we are so happy you are here to share it with us and make it happen! 

I'm off to dinner to celebrate with the family and we'll be back to check in later, but keep spreading the word and let's soar to a terrific tomorrow to finish it off! 

56 hours left and ANOTHER Stretch Goal down!

Thanks to each and every one of you for your amazing support with a special thanks to Jamie as backer #1600 and for T. Kilby for pushing us over $90,000 and unlocking REAL WORLD MONSTERS! We already sent out a lovely spread of carnivorous plants in the last update, but you'll find giant geckos, iguanas, horned lizards, and beaded lizards alongside jaguars, pumas, margays, and ocelots and more besides! Adding a touch of real-life flora and fauna helps really set the mood of the Amazon and Andes, Mesoamerica, and the Antilles. 

But there's plenty of fantasy to be had as well. Remember we told you we had a missing piece of monster art? Well, the luison is a horrifying beast that haunts graveyards and has a most peculiar method of spreading its demonic curse. If this haggard wolf-man drops to all fours and runs between your legs, you may contract its fell contagion, causing your body to rot from within until you join its midnight hunts as a luison yourself! That was a pretty fun ability to create and we think you'll enjoy seeing how we put it together for each of the three game systems, but I'm attaching below the near-final version of the artwork we just got back this morning. A few tweaks and it'll be ready to drop in the book and be heading your way very soon! 

Into the final week!

Hi everyone, we've got just 4 days left to go, and we are looking forward to a fantastic finish! It's been a slow but steady climb the last two weeks, as the middle of Kickstarters often are, but we want to thank you again and again for helping push us higher, farther, and faster, with a special thanks for backer #1500, the ever-truthful Veritas0506, and for the mysterious M, who pushed us past the $85,000 mark! 

Now stretch goals come every $10,000 at this point, and while we're not quite there yet to the $100,000 mark, this is also not our first Kickstarter rodeo. We know the usual shape of things so, barring a very strange turn of events, we are fully confident that we'll get there and farther still in these final days before we end on Thursday night. To that end, we wanted to show off the layout galley for carnivorous plants! Now let's get out there this final week and keep spreading the word so we can make things GROW!!!

8 Days Left, over $80,000!!!

Thanks so much for your ongoing awesomeness in making this our biggest and best Kickstarter project ever! We appreciate all of your killer contributions, with a special thanks to the awesomely named Danielbutt72 for making our ticker hit exactly $80,000 this morning while I happened to be looking at my phone! Plus thanks to Jennifer M who was backer #1400! 

With over a week left to go, things are racing to the finish. I just reviewed the completed layout galleys for Latin American Monsters (5E), and it's looking good, though we have to tweak some spacing and formats and placement. Might need to add a little text here, remove a little there to make things fit nicely. And it looks like we are missing a piece of art! Off to the artist bullpen to see who can pitch in with a quick piece! Sometimes editing six books simultaneously makes me feel like this guy!!!
