Mike Lafferty, who comanages my Kickstarters, is running his own Backerkit right now for Starbeards for Savage Worlds. If you play Savage Worlds and want a cool new setting to check out (which is definitely Dwarven in nature), this is definitely worth checking out.

All DDD products are still 25% off while I attempt to raise money to deal with that super-sized vet bill from last month. By the way, the cat is doing fine after his life-saving procedure. We are hopeful there won't be a recurrence.

Just got handed a huge vet bill and could use some help. More information at the attached link. www.facebook.com/share/p/1Xgu...

Achtung!

It has come to my attention that my subordinates have been running a totally unauthorized 25% of sale on all Darin Drader Designs products while I've been here at DragonCon. There literally has never been a better time to stock up on DDD products!

With 10 days to go, we're just a few dollars away from doubling our original goal. Will you be the person to put usover the top? www.kickstarter.com/projects/dar...

Kickstarter Day 3: We are currently $73 short of doubling our original funding goal. We're looking at commissioning more artwork. The alternative is you get to see what I'm capable of with stock art and Photoshop, and I'm not sure anyone is ready for that.
