Howdy folks!

You chose the Shield pin as the next stretch goal, so that's how we roll. In addition to your choice of transparent orange or green enamel, you will be able to choose pin or magnet back options.

As we're approaching the next stretch goal, y'all voted "another classic Drachtoberfest design" as second place- so I've chosen three designs and done up rough sketches to show the basic direction of a redesign. I've set up a new poll that ends Sunday evening. (Enamel types, metal effects, any glitter and screenprints are not represented here.) Any pin chosen will come with a green beer variant, and I will only be ordering enough green beer variants to cover for this campaign's orders.


As these are 2.25inch pins and in line with most of the other pins from "The Return" (like Mead), they will be $20.

I have not yet figured out how to handle them as cross-collab eligible.

I will be adding limited numbers of the cast of "The Return" to the add-on section, including the gold+green glitter variant of Mead before the next update.

I have added "A Dragon sized Sticker Pack" as a pledge tier, and it does count toward the cross-collab pins. It includes Mango and Hawaiian Hibiscus as stickers (bigger than their pin versions, even), and includes whomever wins in the current poll.

Phew, that's a heck of an update! Have a lovely weekend everyone. As always, I'm happy to answer questions.

Howdy folks! I should have done an Update with the Poll, but I incorrectly thought a poll would also send an email.

What stretch goals should I add? Take a moment to answer the poll so I can adjust accordingly. Once the poll closes (Friday afternoon) I'll take action.

Thanks so much and cheers!

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.

 ♣ The Return of another classic Drachtoberfest brew. Here's how I redesigned Mead:

As this is "Green and Gold," I would lean toward redesigning Stout before any other classic design:



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.

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!
