One MILLION dollars!!
Hey everybody! Matt Colville here. Well, we’re making Lairs! And unique treasure hoards! That’s going to be super awesome and fun to design. Also increases the value of the book as now you’ll be able to just grab this named villain and their home base! And use it in your adventure without needing to do any more work.
Also, I just think if you kill a Named Boss you should get some dope treasure. Normal stuff like gold or valuable objets d'art, but also cool unique items. Back in the day, when you saw the Holy Avenger in the Core Rules you’d be like “HOLY MOLEY! How do I get one of THESE??” Because they just seemed so epic.
But then you’d buy an official adventure and you found out that the treasure in the core rules was weak sauce compared to this stuff! Sure, there’s a holy avenger in this adventure, but it’s unique! It’s got a name and a personality and its own special abilities. In addition to the normal holy avenger stuff!
So that’s the idea! We think you folks will be very happy with the results.
This is my third kickstarter and every time, I am completely gobsmacked by the outpouring of support and interest. It is not something you get used to. The entire tone of MCDM changes from “is this something people want? Are we making a compelling product? Do other people share this same vision?” To “Yay! We get to make a ton of cool monsters!”
Before the Kickstarter, there’s this sense of…well, better not jinx it. Don’t get excited, maybe folks are happy with the monsters they got. So we make plans and schedules and we work on the preview and the rest of the campaign, but now we know people want it which means we get really excited and all we’re talking about is all the monsters we want to improve and invent.
So that’s the last book-related goal! This is as dope as the book gets! Barring any brilliant ideas we have. :D From here on out, there’s only one goal remaining and–I said this before, and I meant it–it still seems pretty unlikely we’ll get there.
We’ll start uploading FAQ questions soon, probably tomorrow, now that we have a good idea of what questions people are actually asking.
Meanwhile, it’s time for me and James to sit down and plan the first Monster Packet! Super looking forward to that, we got a big, long outline full of monsters and environments and it’s time to take that outline and start playing Scheduling Tetris with it to figure out which packet each monsters goes in.
What’s next? Depends on where this kickstarter ultimately lands. I’m incredibly happy and not a little bit amazed that we made it this far already!
