Last month we launched our Class Dice Kickstarter, a campaign to fund molds and materials for 12 new sets of dice, each paired to a different D&D class. We now have less than 10 days remaining and we've accomplished a lot thanks to the support of our amazing backers, but there's still more to do! Here's a quick breakdown of the project so far and what we're still hoping to do.
Where We Started
We launched the D&D Class Dice project on January 14th, with the goal of funding three new sets, a Fighter dice set, and Wizard dice set and a Rogue dice set. These are three of the most popular classes, provide a mix of martials and caster, and are three of the designs we're most proud of. The initial funding we needed was $10,500 CAD.
A Fantastic Start
In a feat of amazing support our lovely backers got us over the initial funding goal line in just 100 minutes, an achievement we're still excited about weeks later. It was a fantastic start to the campaign and gave us an incredible base to begin working on our stretch goals on. The first stretch goal was our Cleric dice set, followed by our Barbarian dice set and the Paladin dice set. In just the first day we were able to unlock all three of these stretch goals, and just like that we had unlocked half the sets we're ultimately hoping to reach. This is the third Kickstarter we've run, so we're well aware that the first day is the biggest of the campaign, and we were so excited to get going strong. There was still a long way to go.
The Meat in the Middle
We got down to waiting, which makes up the majority of what a Kickstarter campaign is after launch. We did plenty of posting on social media platforms and emailed our faithful followers in case anyone hadn't yet heard of our Class Dice project. The going has been slow since the first day, but we've been able to clear a bunch more of our stretch goals: the Ranger dice set, the Warlock dice set and the Monk dice set have all now been unlocked. Our patience has been slowly but surely paying off, and it's time to get this bad boy across the finish line.
Entering the Endgame
We're now just 8 days away from the end of the campaign. We have three sets remaining that we would love to unlock, and there's still time to get it done, but we need your help. We're currently sitting just over $43k, and we need to reach $65k to unlock the last of the twelve sets: the Sorcerer dice set, the Bard dice set and the Druid dice set are the final three and we're so close to making this dream a reality.

Thanks for taking the time, we greatly appreciate all the support we've seen on this project and we hope to continue bringing new and fresh ideas to the D&D community however we can!
