-There was a question earlier to see the Rainbow Dragon up close, so to anyone new, the Rainbow Dragon is pin from a previous campaign collab "Mythical Monsters" led by Robot Dragon Studios. I had the honor of being a part of that campaign and create a really nice dragon out of it =)
With a glitter belly and horns, it has a rainbow palette on their wings. Stands about 1.75" tall, gold plated.
Howdy folks, and uh, wow, your support has blown me away! You funded not just my campaign, but all three of Dragon's Delightful Delicacies in the first day. A hearty Cheers to everyone! Seriously, I am stunned.
I didn't expect to address possible stretch goals yet, but here we are. So here are things I'm considering and will construct a poll to address.
New pledge levels:
♣ The Return of another classic Drachtoberfest brew. Here's how I redesigned Mead:
classic Mead enamel pin VS Mead from The Return.
As this is "Green and Gold," I would lean toward redesigning Stout before any other classic design:
Classic Drachtoberfest Stout enamel pin.
Due to unit count, all but three of the classic pins are featured in the "stickers and more" section of the main story/offered as add-ons. I would offer a standard and a green beer color variant of whatever design was chosen. As with the The Return pins, the redesign would be 2+ inches, with metal layer effects, some kind of special effect, and transparent enamel. If you're a fan of a classic Drachtoberfest design, speak up in the comments!
♣ The Drachtoberfest Shield as a pin: this is the logo I use, which features rampant Marzen. It would be likely 2 inches tall, and offered with gold metal and the same transparent orange or green enamel variants (as with the Dragon Mug mini pins).

♣ Liquid glitter beer glass: during The Return I wanted to offer a beer glass pin (about 2 inches tall) with liquid glitter inside. There would be "full" and "almost empty" glitter fill options, with "Drachtoberfest" or the Rampant Marzen shield on the glass. I had to scrap this idea due to funds, but it can be placed in a poll here as a consideration.

♣ A "support with no rewards" pledge level. - I get it. Maybe you're just thinking about a reward, maybe you're like me and go "that stuff is neat, and I don't' need it, but I want to encourage the artist."
♣ A new mini pin design: I once considered border corner flags/pennants, but I could also make little beer glasses, or tiny hops, and/or wheat, as board fillers.
A guaranteed pledge level upcoming:
An "all designs" sticker pack - for those who just want All The Stickers, this would include the eight (or nine?), plus Mango and Hawaiian Hibiscus. This pack size will be determined based on which main new stretch goal is added.
Maybe more Add-ons: I like add-ons to be things I already have in production, what I have on hand, or things that are less prone to severe delays with production hiccups, like stickers. That said, if folks are interested in picking up other pins from The Return (last year's Kickstarter, stickers featured in the 'stickers and more' story section), I can add a limited amount.
I know that's much to consider! I'm always happy to hear thoughts and enable options where reasonable. Feel free to comment as I'll start poll construction this evening with intent to publish quite soon so I can understand the direction this campaign will take going forward.
Thank you all again for your amazing support, and Cheers to green beers!
There’s no add on for an extra fruit dragon from the new line up that I can see. For instance, if you pledge for one fruit dragon, and you don’t want three, but you would like to add a second, I’m not seeing a way to manage that. You do have an extra dragon add on but it seems to be for previous pins… I’m a little confused :)
Hi! You might want to add info about which pledge levels are eligible for cross-collab rewards, especially since they differ so much in price :) Thanks!
Thinking of adding the Hops & Sakura Dragons as bookmarks, and reworking Iris, Cornflower, Chrysanthemum, and Foxglove as traditional pieces as bookmark prints. But before I commit, I want to see how many would add this on currently. As I don't want to sit on stock for too long with how many projects I have in the works.
Pick any that you are at least 90% committed to in the poll, I'd need at least 40 people about to be able to do the metal bookmarks. Printed I can do much lower since those can be manufactured either in my own home in small run and laminated or in the USA affordably enough.
Just checking to see that the watermelon dragon is being made, as it's the photo for a single pin and in the backing card section, but it's not listed with the pin specs. Thanks!
