Primal Encounter Pre-Order Store

December update
2 months ago – Mon, Dec 29, 2025 at 12:06:43 PM

Hey folks!

Hope you all had a great holiday, and looking forward to a new year just around the corner. I wanted to check in with everyone with an update on where things are on the project. 

Primal Encounters Book

The text is just going through final edits. We added a few more pages to the index since I decided to expand the entire unique attributes section. Then a final proofread while I'm waiting on art.

Because I don't need a large number of books, I'm using the vendor I picked for this smaller run. That means it will be a bit more expensive for me, but you'll all get your books sooner than expected. 

Rachael Quinlin has shared this sketch of the painting she's working on.

PDFs

I will be releasing the PDFs as they are ready to send. While some are ready now, I need to have the surveys completed before distribution begins. 

Primal Deck of Beasts 2024 edition

The PDF for this set will be ready sometime in January, I believe. All that is being worked on is new artwork. I will also make them available as a printed deck via DriveThruRPG. 

Here's the new giant goat.

Surveys

The surveys should be going out shortly. I want to do a "smoke test" first. This small group should let me know that everything is running smoothly. If the surveys bounce back to me, I'll reach out to those individuals via the Kickstarter messages with a link to access the survey.

If you're moving or plan to move in the next few months, you can update your survey or let me know, and I can do it for you. I don't lock down the address until I'm ready to ship. There will be plenty of updates on progress, including messages about your address being locked down. Even then, you can reach out before you get a tracking number. 

You Did It!

Thanks to you, we sailed past the goal point and even achieved a few stretch goals. I can't thank you enough. I also can not wait for you to have this book in your hands. 

Next, we'll go through the normal Kickstarter process of collecting funds. The Backerkit surveys will be built during this time. 

We are waiting for a few pieces of artwork to add to the book. At the same time, the last bits of editing are taking place.

More updates will come during this whole process.

Stretch Goals Hit!

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to let you know we've passed two stretch goals! Congrats to us all. I'll be adding a backer page of thanks to the book and sending out an additional PDF to folks. 

We have 24 hours left, and we are definitely going to celebrate tomorrow. More updates to come once the campaign is over.

We hit our goal!

Thank you all very much. The team and I can't thank you enough. How fortuitous that we were working on adding two more pages of Festivals, Holidays, and Other Events to the book. Plus, more art was added to the book.

We passed one goal, so there's room for another. Let's add a few stretch goals; I believe we can hit them!

At $3750, I'll add a page of backer credits.

At $4000, I'll add the Arcane Meangerie PDF to Tiers 1-4. All art tiers get everything in Tier 4.

New Tiers: Original Art!

Just a quick note to let you know that some new tiers have been added to the campaign: and they're going fast! 

This is your chance to own a piece of original art at an exclusive discount just for this Kickstarter. Check out the campaign to see which pieces remain...
