We’re just over halfway through this Kickstarter, and the more than 7,000 backers have unlocked SO. MANY. STRETCH GOALS!
Let’s take a look at everything that's been unlocked so far…

Woot we got Ancient Dragon Mage!!

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

I really like the spread of spellcasting NPCs we're seeing here. Every book should provide a bunch of practical NPCs to use in games, instead of a lot of weirdos that seem interesting but won't be used more than once or twice, if ever.

Dice Soon…? And Miniature Painting Stream!​

Today’s update gives a bit more information about the dice mentioned in the next stretch goal, and it talks about the miniatures mentioned in an earlier update.

So Close to Dice!
The next stretch goal is at $750k for Deep Magic-themed dice, and we are so close to unlocking it! Our partner for creating these dice, Fanroll, was kind enough to send us some pictures to give us an idea of how the dice would look if the stretch goal was unlocked. We thought these pictures were too beautiful to keep from you, so here’s a sneak peek of what the dice will look like, if we unlock the stretch goal!

Dice Not Your Thing but Miniatures Are?​

Check out our earlier update about the Deep Magic miniatures for more information about the Frost Mage and Pyromancer miniatures. If you want to see these two miniatures “in the flesh,” Broken Anvil Miniatures, the geniuses behind the miniatures, will be hosting a stream on Wednesday, February 15th, at 12 PM Pacific on their Twitch Channel.

Live from Broken Anvil Miniatures HQ is a full paint-along stream featuring our exclusive Deep Magic 1 + 2 sculpts! Come join Head Studio Painter, Josh Davis, as he lets the chat vote on which miniature to paint fully on stream. Feel free to ask questions, get tips and tricks, or sit back and relax as the minis come to life.
