Hi Everyone! We're at the tail end of the Pledge Manager and have officially set the date to March 3rd, Central Standard Time. Because of this I want to take the risk and give it another push. We are currently at $23,295 and VERY close to unlocking the last collaborative add-on, Domino Bonaparte. So... I'm going to go ahead and pre-unlock her in the Pledge Manager now in hopes that we'll get at least 170 backers adding her in to hit the $25k milestone. Maybe while pledges are being finalized, we'll also unlock the next stretch, which will be completely free to Jade Dragons and above!
So right now, you can get Japanime's Tanto Cuore assassin maid character pack in our add-ons!
Rabid Skunk and Oscar Kass?
Yes! You're probably wondering how they'd look in Dragon Tides. How about a visual? (Note: they're only at about 35% finished at the moment)
Remember, they're also available in the Pledge Manager, in the add-on section!
Cool! So any hint at the other collaboration minis?
Well.... I guess we could show you a few more things ;)
We have all but Candy at the moment, though Candy WILL have Soda with her per backer demand!
I missed the campaign, where's the pledge manager?
For those of you who are just tuning in and would like to back us and get all the cool Stretch Goals and have access to the awesome add-on unlocks, NEW BACKERS can go here: https://dragontides.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
If you're a current backer and still haven't received your Pledge Manager e-mail to Backer Kit yet, please let me know and I'll resend it to you!
All right everyone, let's start knocking out those Stretch Goals!

Like Ninjas?
For those interested in a really quick and fun dice game, Greenbrier Game is re-introducing Ninja Dice on Kickstarter, this time with their Expansion "Ninja Dice: Kage Masters"! Please check it out here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gbg/ninja-dice-kage-masters?ref=nav_search
In Ninja Dice: Kage Masters, you can play Ninja Dice as one of 5 new unique characters known as kage masters! A kage (pronounced “COG-AY”, not “cage”!) is an elite ninja, the leader of his or her village, and master of the clan’s hidden techniques. Each kage has their own kage die and character card, complete with special abilities unique to that kage.
2 Characters Unlocked! A PM Update

Hi Everyone,
Today's update is rather quick as we are scrambling to get certain things for Dragon Tides to print this Friday, and have been focusing on production.
Pledge Manager News
Since the last update, you've unlocked the free Showdown Dice and the collaboration add-on miniatures Oscar Kass AND Rabid Skunk! Both characters are located in the PM add-on section as an add-on purchase. Each add-on pack comes with the miniature, character board, and 6 signature move cards!
Oscar Kass is the older version of Japanime's Krosmaster Arena and from what we've been told, resembles Skeletor if he were part of Assassin's Creed. Rabid Skunk, from Capes and Villains by Shingo Games, is Batman + Wolverine + Mutant Skunk. 'Nuff said!
We still have about 250 backers who haven't gone into the Pledge Manager to update the shipping address. We're also less than 5k away from unlocking Domino Bonaparte, a Tanto Cuore offering from Japanime. Do you have a mini of an Anime Maid Assassin yet? You just might if we can hit that stretch before the PM closes by March 1st!
As well, per request, we've also added the Steel Mantis and Jade Dragon tiers as add-ons in case you want multiple tiers.
Miniatures?
Yes! We're waiting anxiously for some manufacture miniature proofs to start coming in. They may get delayed because of the upcoming Chinese New Year, but soon after, once we receive them you KNOW you'll be the first to see them in all their glory.
Dragon Tides Gameplay
As we finalize the rules for print, I'll have an updated PDF of the rules for download sometime next week. We also intend to get some prints of the components going so we can do an updated gameplay video of a scene for you to see. As we get closer to manufacture, we're also getting more excited about bringing this to you.
See you in the next update with more exciting news!
Pledge Manager Update!

Hi Everyone! Just to keep you in the know, there are a few things we've updated in the Pledge Manager. If you've been keeping up with the comment thread, you've probably already heard about it.
SHOWDOWN DICE UNLOCKED!
Yes, right from the get-go you unlocked the custom showdown dice! These are great for random AI Showdowns or if your character has abilities the force your opponent or yourself to do a randomize Showdown. You can also use these dice for Showdown decisions for Henchmen if you need them to have their own AI.
OSCAR KASS ADD-ON UNLOCKED!
Ok, this one is kind of, sort of unlocked. As you know, this is a collaboration character from Japanime's Krosmaster Arena. He is an add-on unlock. Although we're really close to unlocking him, we make him available in the pledge manager add-ons to help drive our overall stretch goals up so you can get to the next level of unlocks quicker. So if you haven't done so already and you're looking to add him into your roster, go to the Pledge Manager and add him in. He's waiting for you!
Re-Opening My PM Account After Already Finalizing
You can! As long as we don't hit the "lock" button on our end, even if you finalize your Pledge Manager invitation, you can still log back into it and make any corrections. This is extremely useful if you hear of an add-on you want to add without fears that you can never get them.
Stretch Goal Shuffle
As requested by backers, we've shuffled all of the add-on miniatures first (following the Showdown Dice) in order to help drive the stretch goals higher earlier on, so that the free unlocks will be easier to get logistically. So here's what it looks like now:
Currently, we're less than $1k away from officially unlocking Oscar Kass. After, we'll be on our way to Rabid Skunk!
