1st Stretch Goal Unlocked!

Good evening, everyone!

I'm sorry, I meant to post this update earlier, but my day has been...blah.

Anyways, you did it!  1st stretch goal unlocked!  That's awesome!

Here's how it works: now that the d6 sets are unlocked, any set you pledge or add on can be either a traditional set of 7 polyhedral dice, or a set of 9d6 dice.

This also unlocks the Rigger color, which is white numbers on matte black dice.  Here's a picture:

Great things are afoot, and thank you so much for your support!

Good afternoon, everyone!

There's another stretch goal down, which unlocks the original Upstart colors (P3, 3270, and Mary Kenneth Keller) as well as that CosmicCrit sponsored Pronking Purple!  These sets will be available as 7-piece polies or as 9d6 sets!

We're rapidly approaching that free set for everyone, so hold onto your butts!  Probably tomorrow!

You guys are amazing!  Thank you so much!

Good morning, all!

It's been a few days since we've had an update, so I figured I'd let you know we're still here and this campaign is going great!

We've got something pretty awesome cooking up as a late-idea addition to this campaign.  So, stay tuned for that!  It's gonna be pretty radical!

$10k!

Good morning, everybody!  And ain't it a gorgeous morning?

Guess what?  You just hit 10k!  Everyone who pledged in a tier is going to score a free set of dice of their choice.  Sweet!

A couple people have asked about adding money on for add-ons or shipping.  The answer is: you may do this by boosting your pledge here on KS, or you can wait to do both in the pledge manager afterwards.  Either way works, though we do prefer you to handle things like that in the pledge manager.

That exhausts the stretch goals for this campaign, and we don't have any others planned.  I'm not saying others won't crop up, but we don't have any ready just yet.

The extra scratch on this campaign is going to be used for stocking our online store, which we'll be opening up right after this campaign ships.

"But, wait!  Stanford, if this is the 'Final' Upstart, what are you selling?" Well, yes, these are going to be the last colors in our Upstart line of dice.  That is, dice with this font in these molds.  However, we are in the works for a new line of dice with all new, adventurous colors.  We'll give you backers a sneak-peek of that when all's said and done here.

I can't say it enough: thank you so much for your support!

Just before the 12 hour bell!

Good evening, everyone!

Welcome to our first update!  Let me just gather my notes here....HOLY HELL, YOU DID IT ALREADY!

Truly amazing, this was our fastest campaign yet, having gotten that funding in just under 12 hours.

From the deepest parts of our hearts, thank you so much.

For those of you who are new here, welcome!  My name is Stanford, and I run these campaigns with the help of several helpful helpers: Amy, Chief, and Cassidy.  Legendary Pants (LP) has one very important policy: deliver on these campaigns as soon as humanly possible.  This means that all the groundwork for these dice has been laid, and all we have to do is tell the factory to push the button.  We can't wait to get to do that in about a month.

Now, we have several awesome stretch goals this time around, and I think we're going to hit those with no problem.  The next one up unlocks the d6 set option and the Rigger color.  When that goal is reached, any set of dice that you pledged for or picked up as an add on can either be a traditional set of 7 polyhedrals, or a set of 9d6 in whichever color you choose (of the available options).  The Rigger color is a nice and clean matte black die with white numbering, perfect for those with simple, elegant taste.  Nothing says "classy" like throwing fireball using Rigger d6's.

Well, that's what I've got for now, though I bet my next update will be tomorrow about smashing that stretch goal.  Maybe we can get to 8k tomorrow?  That'd be pretty sweet.  If you like where this campaign is headed, remember to tell everyone you know about it!

We love you all very much.  And again, thank you!
