Latest Updates from Our Project:

Backerkit Store & Surveys
7 days ago – Tue, Mar 31, 2026 at 06:52:07 AM

Hello!

A little status update as we near the 14-day mark post-campaign. 

Surveys will be sent out later this week/early next week to collect shipping addresses for fulfilment and will remain open until early May. I will post another update regarding that when the time comes.

Additionally, the Backerkit preorder store is now open! It is essentially an extension of Kickstarter for those who missed it, minus some of the exclusive rewards only enabled during this campaign.

So, expect to see surveys in your inboxes soon, and do not forget to fill them out for your reward!

Best,

Campaign Closed! - What's Next
19 days ago – Thu, Mar 19, 2026 at 10:06:22 AM

Good day, all!

We did it. In an incredible final push, Unslain Dragons closed at $112,000. I can’t thank you enough for bringing this project to life.

What’s next?

I’m currently working with CRWN Studios to prepare our BackerKit page.

BackerKit is where you will confirm your shipping address, select any add-ons, and pay for shipping. This allows us to use the most accurate, up-to-date shipping rates, while keeping things flexible after the campaign.

When will surveys be sent?

BackerKit surveys will be sent out in about two weeks.

This gives time for Kickstarter funds to settle and ensures everything is set up properly before they go live.

I’ll post another update when surveys are ready. They’ll be sent directly to your email, so keep an eye out. BackerKit will also remain open for a time after launch, allowing you to adjust your order or add items if you’d like.

Once again, thank you all.
$112k is something special, and it speaks to the strength of this community more than anything else.

Talk soon.

100k Goal Hit!
20 days ago – Wed, Mar 18, 2026 at 01:57:40 PM

Second mystery goal revealed!

Final content expansion! This goal expands the ecosystem with a dragon entry (four pages worth) and accompanying fauna, all with lore and writing, and 5-E stats for the dragon.

I can't believe that we crossed 100k. I am so honored and excited to deliver this book, which has proven itself to be something really special. Stay tuned for post-campaign updates as we prepare to shift to Backerkit!

Best,
Sawyer Lee

90k mystery stretch goal revealed!
22 days ago – Mon, Mar 16, 2026 at 08:37:09 AM

Welcome! At the time of writing, we sit at 93k. That means the first of the two mystery stretch goals has been revealed!

Adventure hooks for the 5-E companion! Featuring 1-2 story hooks per species, they are designed as an easy introduction of the Codex dragons in any campaign. 

This goal fleshes out the Codex companion that comes with every physical book purchase. It is a great time to include some draconic fun in your D&D campaign or gather some friends and start one! It will make for a fun read regardless!

Our campaign ends this Thursday at 9 am... Can we reach the 100k mystery goal in that time? Let's shoot for it!

Talk soon,

Sawyer Lee

8 Days Update!
27 days ago – Tue, Mar 10, 2026 at 03:46:38 PM

Can you believe it is almost time to wind down the campaign?

Feels like just yesterday when we launched! Wanna give some news:

We smashed the first of the phase 3 stretch goals at 80k, offering up a new dragon (with stats!) to the bestiary! We are halfway to 90k, which will be the first of the two mystery goals. 

I also want to give a shout-out to a very cool artist launching his first campaign! This is Andrew, and he has made Basileus: Book One. A very cool low fantasy comic with a great style and world. I'll attach a link below, should that interest you:
 Basileus : Book One by Andrew — Kickstarter

It's always great to see creatives get their work out there, and I'm glad to spread the word about interesting minds making quality art. 

Keep an eye on your inboxes over the next few days as updates about Backerkit and other such things start to roll in! Here comes the excitement of production, let's land this campaign with a bang!

Best,

Sawyer Lee
