90k mystery stretch goal revealed!
5 months 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!
6 months 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
 

Phase 3 Stretch Goals!
6 months ago – Mon, Mar 02, 2026 at 07:22:05 AM

Intrigue is the theme on this one!

To keep things rolling, I have prepared the next set of three goals. These will be revealed further as we approach and, hopefully, cross them.

  • 80k - A brand new dragon species added to the book! with art, lore, and 5-E stats.
  • 90k - First mystery goal! I wonder what it could be!
  • 100k - The big number. If we hit this, a big celebration is certainly in order. 

Always exciting to create new goals for us to march towards! Onward!

Best, Sawyer Lee

Phase 2 Stretch Goals!
6 months ago – Wed, Feb 18, 2026 at 05:15:52 PM

Hey all!

We cleared all of the initial stretch goals on DAY ONE! Included were special book finishes, such as a woven-in cloth bookmark, cover embossing and foil treatments for the standard hardcover, as well as an extra dragon added to the bestiary and 5e supplement.

Now, the next three are revealed!

  • 50k- a new poster design/species added to the add-ons selection! Possibly more posters to follow.
  • At 55k, we expand the endsheets with custom artwork to really make them pop. An intricate design? Size chart? map? The possibilities are endless!
  • Lastly, at 60k I will create a process PDF going over references, sketches, unused concepts, and iterations. Free for all backers, it would be quite fun to construct!

And that's Phase 2! Expect a Phase 3 if we beat this, and let's keep these dragons flying!

Best,

Sawyer Lee

WOW

What a turnout! And what a pleasure it is to have you all along on this ride with me. Those who have returned from my previous campaign, thank you. Those who are new, have fun! This book is truly a labor of love, and now, lets lock in on some stretch goals!
