And now for something completely awesome . . . 

You all know Margaret Weis. With co-author Tracy Hickman, she created and wrote the Dragonlance books – and the story is continuing. You will be seeing more Dragonlance!

Well, it turns out that she played a lot of Toon, back in the day, and she was kind enough to send us this for the back cover of the new edition . . . 

Every Saturday my TSR friends, my kids, and I would get together to play games. Having worked with D&D all week, the last RPG we wanted to play was D&D. Our favorite game was Toon, from Steve Jackson Games. We created such epic characters as Quackqueline Onassis – a psychotic duck in a pillbox hat. Other party members included the Road Runner, Carmen Miranda, Dr. Who and Darth Vader. One game was titled “Bring Me the Head of Uni the Unicorn.” Fun times! Thanks, Steve Jackson!

Thank you, Margaret! All I can say is that I would have loved to be a fly on the wall for that game . . . 

We're very happy with the response, and with less than 72-hours remaining we are excited to see where we end up. Thank you for joining us on this silly adventure!

Hello everyone!

Thank you all so very much for coming out to support the return of Toon after more than 40 years! 'Overtime Mode' was enabled for this campaign, and we're happy to see that the pledges continued to roll in – the campaign stayed open for an additional 55-minutes! With nearly 3,200 backers, we're excited to see so many new faces, and tons of returning animators.  

 The team responsible for editing, layout, and getting all the internal bits together are still working hard, and we expect that to be the case for a bit longer. We will keep you up-to-date on the various major milestones we pass as we get closer to sending everything to print.  

 While the editorial and production teams are plugging away at the book, the pledge manager will also receive its build-out. What follows are the first set of important pledge manager dates to be mindful of: 

These dates may shift as needed due to delays or unexpected progress.  We will continue to provide regular updates throughout the next phases of the process, and you're welcome to leave a comment or contact us via our help page. 

Thank you again for your support and for helping us fund our 100th campaign! We're looking forward to sharing some more great news about progress in the future.

(PS: Did you miss the campaign but still want to get in on the fun? Late Pledges are open until we lock orders April 30th!)

Right... ? 👀

We realized this just recently, after one of our Ogre fans (who diligently keeps a robust tracking dataset) informed us of this achievement. After a bit of back and forth – and counting through my own spreadsheets – we confirmed it: Toon Second Edition is indeed our 100th funded campaign!

Our very first crowdfunding campaign was all the way back in 2012, with Ogre Designers Edition. Ogre Designer's Edition made a pretty big splash, and since that day we've run campaigns for The Fantasy Trip, Car Wars, Munchkin, Ogre, various Mystery Boxes, dice games, t-shirts, and so much more. All told, more than 120,000 backers have joined in to support our new ideas and to help bring them to life. We're so very thankful for all of the support that we've received over the last 99 campaigns, and we are more than thrilled with the response to the Second Edition of Toon as our 100th.

There are less than 24 hours remaining to get your pledge in while Toon Second Edition is active on BackerKit. Hurry and reserve your copy before 2 pm Thursday!

Thank you!
