Snollygoster

Thank you.

The 14 hour mega drawathon has concluded and so has the Snollygoster Kickstarter campaign. As you can imagine, I’m pretty exhausted, but I wanted to get an update out just to express my gratitude. Thank you for every pledge, comment, message, and show of support throughout this campaign. Your excitement for this game motivated me everyday to make Snollygoster the best it could be. I’m still shocked how close we came to hitting every single stretch goal. I’d also like to thank all of my Patreon patrons for the continued funding that allowed me to take on such a massive project.  

So just to recap… SNOLLYGOSTER IS GETTING MADE! Roughly five months from now you’ll have a brand new game that’ll provide plenty of laughter, drama, and entertainment. On top of that, many of you are getting expansion packs to change up gameplay so Snollygoster will stay fresh for a long time. On top of THAT, we’re able to print the game on the highest quality card material our printer offers. We want you to look at this game and think “dang you sexy.”  

Now that the campaign is over, what’s next? There’s much to do on our end for the next several months. There’s a lot of design work that needs to be finalized and logistics to be ironed out. We’ll be starting on all of that right away. Because we avoided items that slow things down such as apparel or swag, we can focus 100% on game related materials. We’ll keep you updated through every step of the process.  

Many of you have asked if you can add more than one copy of the game or expansion pack to your pledge and the answer is YES. We partnered up with BackerKit which allows backers to add additional copies of the base game or expansion packs to your order without additional shipping charges (within reason). We’ll post an update when that service becomes available. As of right now, we’re expecting Wednesday of this coming week.  

So that’s it. That is IT. Wow.  

I got a few more Z’s to catch. Thank you all for everything.  

Sincerely,  

 - J. L.

FINAL DAY MEGA DRAWATHON

Dearest Backers, it's been an honor and a pleasure running this campaign with you. You've made this an amazing experience and a highlight in my life so far. I can't believe how far it's come and that it finally ends tomorrow. So let's end with one last hurrah, shall we?

That's right. 14 hours straight of drawing, chit chattin, and overall madness right until the grand finale. The stream will be right here on our Kickstarter campaign page. This is my way of saying thanks to you all for your incredible generosity and enthusiasm.

It's the road to the final stretch goal. We've built up some insane momentum so let's push this baby into overdrive. As I've said before, NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE. Let's get you some Kickstarter Exclusive Cards!

Yours truly,

 - J. L.

MORE CARDS UNLOCKED!

Make room, everybody. You'll need it for the EXTRA CARDS you'll be getting in your expansion packs. Both expansion packs AND the Mr. Lovenstein card pack will now have five additional cards! Righteous!

With that stretch goal down, that leaves ONE. LAST. STRETCH GOAL. How's about some more cards? How's about Kickstarter Exclusive cards? How's about Kickstarter Exclusive cards designed by Extra Fabulous...

 and Deathbulge??

Each artist will design a character for you to do your dirty deeds with that only backers of this Kickstarter will have. They're both incredible, hilarious artists and it'd be rad as hell to have them in Snollygoster.

This is it, friends. The final stretch. The final lap. The final countdown.

Thank you for helping us reach this epic finale. Let's end this on a A-ha's "Take On Me" level high note.

Grateful af,

 - J. L.

Oh lord. We've hit the mark of the beast and curried favor with the dark lord. We also reached 300% funded along the way. This means the only thing that stands in our way now is less than $1500. H*ck yeah!

This is a GREAT start to our final week. I mainly wanted to write this update just to say thanks. Your generosity and enthusiasm has made this such an amazing experience.

I hope to write in again soon once we hit $35,000. Until then, keep being cool everybody.

Forever yours,

 - J. L.

LAST WEEK PUSH
about 7 years ago – Sun, Oct 15, 2017 at 07:16:09 PM

This is it folks. The final stretch of the Snollygoster Kickstarter campaign. This is the FINAL PUSH, BABY!

Before us we have two Stretch Goals left. We're less than $3,000 away from cramming more cards into every expansion pack, and $15,000 after that to get Kickstarter Exclusive Cards made by the artists behind Extra Fabulous Comics and Deathbulge.

This is the week to conquer these stretch goals. NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE. We just need to push it real good. Share more than Cher. Share this campaign with every human within a fifty mile radius of your location. Share this with the hot singles in your area.

If you want to take advantage of the Expansion Pack Expansions, it's as simple as switching your pledge reward. The $40 ULTIMATE COMBO is exclusive to this Kickstarter and the cheapest way to get the game and both expansions. 

Here are a few more Hidden Agendas that come with the +2 Player Expansion Pack that add even more strategy to the game. Be careful you don't reveal too much information to the Sleuth or let a Trojan Horse slip onto the escape pod with you.

Also, if you missed it, here's a full play through so you can see the game in action!

I'm also planning on doing a big ass live draw request stream right here on Kickstarter towards the end of the campaign. Don't miss it! 

ALRIGHT GUYS! Big fat thanks to you all for getting us so close to hitting every stretch goal. Let's make the most of this final week and make Snollygoster the best it can possibly be.

Much love,

- J. L.
