Hi everyone,
I hope you are having a good start to the week. We have been busy working on everything post-campaign, and I will share an update with you soon regarding the pledge manager. But, in the meantime, I wanted to announce the two competition winners from The Fantasy Character Kit's dice giveaway competition.
Every entry was entered into a spreadsheet, and the winners were chosen with a random number generator. We had almost 900 combined entries!
WINNERS
Entry #32 Roberto Brivio
Entry #835 Harriet Hollinshead-Lee
The winners have been contacted and have confirmed their prizes. Thank you so much to everyone who entered and shared our project with their friends and family, you're the best. We're looking forward to running some more competitions in the future.
Conflux Art update their online shop regularly with new sets, so if you are looking to pick up some of their gorgeous dice, head over to their store!
I will be in touch soon with a progress update on the project, but until then, have a great week.
All the best,
Sam.
Campaign Complete!
almost 5 years ago
– Sat, Mar 27, 2021 at 12:59:45 AM
Campaign Now Closed!
WE DID IT! Our campaign was fully funded with outstanding support by 4,956 backers, and we smashed THREE stretch goals!
A huge thank you to everyone who backed this campaign – your encouragement, kind words and enthusiasm for this project has been amazing. We are so grateful for your support, and now the real hard work begins as we strive to make this 180-page book the most inspiring and useful resource it can be!
What Happens Next?
Over the next couple of weeks Kickstarter will begin charging your cards and processing your pledges. If for any reason your card is declined, you'll have 7 days to fix the payment before they try again (if there are still problems, this can usually be fixed in the pledge manager via PayPal).
Then, in about 3-4 weeks, we will be sending out the backer survey/pledge manager through a company called BackerKit. Here, we'll collect your shipping details, email addresses and a few other key bits of info from you – there's also an opportunity to add extra rewards to your pledge in the Add-On Store. More information on this will follow closer to the time.
I will send you an update towards the end of every month going forward to keep you posted on developments with the project. We're still on track and aiming for an October 2021 shipping date!
Our Dice Giveaway Competition winners will be announced in the coming days, so stay tuned. This competition is now closed, and any entries made after 17:30GMT 25th March 2021 will not be counted.
As for now, we're going to take a short break and celebrate the campaign!
Have a fantastic weekend, wherever you are in the world.

Hi everyone,
We did it, we hit the Blood Hunters & Mutants stretch goal! A whole new chapter will be added to the book – bringing it from 168 pages to a hefty 180 pages.
The chapter will include origin stories, blood maledict manifestations, gruesome appearances, witch hunter factions, mutations, silver weapons and more!
There's also a brand-new Limited Edition Art Print that has been added to Art Bundle 3. This bundle now includes: Barbarian, Bard, Ranger, Wizard, Blood Hunter (£10). Take a look below!
I'm so excited to start writing this chapter. I can't wait to bring these blood hunters, witchers, mutants and vampire slayers to life! Do you play as a blood hunter in your games? Are you excited for these random tables? Let me know in the comments!
If you're new to this campaign, thanks for joining. Don't forget, there's still time to enter our Dice Giveaway Competition if you haven't already, it closes at 17:30GMT at the same time the campaign ends.
Thanks so much for your continued support of The Fantasy Character Kit, you guys are the best.
Art Prints, Add-Ons and Stretch Goals

– Tue, Mar 23, 2021 at 10:16:13 PM
Hi everyone,
With just over two days to go, I wanted to share with you some more information about the Limited Edition Art Print bundles (and the magic items that come with them) as well as the other add-ons we're offering as part of this Kickstarter campaign. Add-ons will be available to purchase in the pledge manager, which all backers will be sent once the campaign has closed and surveys have been distributed.
Art Prints with Magic Items
Pictured: Cleric, Druid, Artificer, Sorcerer and Monk art prints
Three bundles of Kickstarter-exclusive A6 art prints will be available to all backers as an add-on. The front of each card shows off some awesome character artwork, and the rear of the card has a listing for a magic item from the illustration (e.g. the druid's antler headdress) with a complete 5E rule set – these can of course be adapted to fit any RPG.
Art Bundle 2 – Fighter, Rogue, Paladin, Warlock – £8
Art Bundle 3 – Barbarian, Bard, Ranger, Wizard, (Blood Hunter if unlocked) – £8 (or £10)
Guildmaster and Monarch pledges get one bundle of their choice included in their pledge.
Available Add-Ons
Here is a complete list of all The Fantasy Character Kit add-ons available in the pledge manager:
As well as the great add-ons available for The Fantasy Character Kit, you will also be able to purchase our first book The Game Master's Fantasy Toolkit in the pledge manager as well as other rewards from that campaign.
Kristen's Epic Adventures put together a thorough page-by-page review of The GM's Toolkit, take a look to see what's inside and also get an idea of what you can expect from a Roll & Play Press book!
The Game Master's Fantasy Toolkit is currently available on our website. However, the items above can be added to your rewards in the pledge manager, which is great if you'd prefer to receive everything together in October 2021 (and save on shipping for physical rewards).
Stretch Goals in the Pledge Manager
We're close to hitting our next stretch goal, which is really exciting! All add-ons in the pledge manager will go towards our campaign total, so we could unlock even more goals – if we do, I will send an update around to let you all know. You will be able to open the pledge manager to add any unlocked rewards from the time it is sent out to the day it's locked, so you won't miss out if you fill out your survey early.
If you have any questions about the add-ons, please send me a message or let me know in the comments below. For more information, head over to the Add-On Store section of our main campaign page.
Our Podcast Interview with EN World
almost 5 years ago
– Tue, Mar 23, 2021 at 04:15:00 AM
Hi everyone,
I hope you had a great weekend!
We had the awesome opportunity to be part of the EN World podcast, Morrus' Unofficial Tabletop RPG Talk, last week. It was a great chance to chat to the hosts Russ and Peter about recent RPG news including the new Terminator RPG, D&D Unearthed Arcana, and of course our current project The Fantasy Character Kit. This was our first time on a podcast, and we had a lot of fun.
If you didn't catch the podcast I would definitely recommend giving it a listen, it's a nice way to learn all about the things we have planned and what you can expect from the book when it's published, as well as getting to know us more! The second half of the show is dedicated to our new project, but we chat to the hosts throughout the show.
With less than 100 hours to go on this project (so exciting), I will be sending an update soon about add-on rewards and when you can expect your backer surveys once the project comes to a close. Until then, keep rolling.
