Six-Sadded, Die Video + New Stretch Goals
almost 6 years ago – Fri, Jul 20, 2018 at 11:12:35 PM

Hey you guys! We replaced some of our old stretch goals with a cool new upcoming video and game upgrades. We’ve also got a NEW stretch goal to announce, so check it out!

New Stretch Goal #3: Skills of An Artist Video

To replace the third stretch goal, we’re going to be doing a special video episode of Strong Bad’s “Skills of An Artist” series. Submit your suggestions in the comment section of this post, and Strong Bad will take one of the suggestions to draw in a special video for you guys. We’re looking at the suggestions in the main comments thread as well since that’s where we originally requested this. We love doing interactive stuff with you, and we know you love videos, so we hope you like this addition. We can’t wait to see your suggestions!

New Stretch Goal #4: Game Upgrade

In the place of stretch goal #4, we’re going to make changes to the cards and box. We’re now going to upgrade the quality even more to linen so they feel silky and luxurious right out of the box. In addition to that, we’ll be making some changes to the game box as well. In our first stretch goal, we added spot UV to the gameplay tiles. Now, we’re going to expand that enhanced burnination by adding spot UV to the box of the game too.

Stretch Goal #5: Six-Sadded, Die Video and 3D print Six-Sadded, Die

Our next stretch goal will be to give you guys some more of the great content you’ve come to know and love. As you now know, Strong Sad has been dabbling in board games and presented you all with the great walkthrough video of our game. It would be amazing to bring you guys more of his board game gameplay and review content. We’d like Strong Sad to give you his playtest review of the 90’s Boardelectrix hit ‘Don’t Make Daddy P.O.’d’!! Help us get to 12,000 backers so he can live his dreams!

Now the video is great, but that’s not all. Right here is a file that you can use to 3D print your own Six-Sadded, Die for all you makers out there. One has Strong Sad’s face protruding out of the die like in the intro to ‘Six-Sadded, Die’ and the other has them recessed into the die like all good pips. Enjoy! If you print one, you can send pictures to [email protected], and we’ll feature some of them in our next update.

We hope you all like these upgrades and will enjoy our new videos. Thank you for your continued support! We’re going to keep working hard for you to get you the best game and stuff we can give.

Keep on Burninating on,

4th Stretch Goal
almost 6 years ago – Wed, Jul 18, 2018 at 11:31:17 PM

Hello Fellow Keepers of Trogdor,

It’s been a crazy couple days, and we truly appreciate your admiration and support. We can’t wait for you all to actually get the play the game, but in the meantime, we’ve got more cool stretch goals to share with you.

Stretch Goal #4 - Homestar Character Meeples

A lot of people have been asking if it’s possible to bring any of the other Homestar characters into the game. Fortunately, you’re in luck! It’s something that we were thinking of doing anyway! Since great minds are similarly thinking similar things, we’re bringing you a set of all of the classic Homestar character meeples to be used just for fun! You can use them wherever you want in the game, but don’t let that stop you! You can also use these meeples in any other board game you may have that uses meeples too. You can add this set of character meeples to your pledge in BackerKit at an additional cost during the survey period. We can fulfill this goal by reaching 10,000 backers.

You guys have all been amazing, so we’re switching up our stretch goals a little. We hope you like what we’ve offered so far, but the future stretch goals will not be anything physical that you can buy or add to your pledge. All future stretch goals will be even more awesome than before, and they will involve us interacting with you all directly. Live draws? Puppet cosplay? Who knows! Keep spreading the word and supporting us to find out!

Keep on Burninating on, 

- Matt, Mike, and Maya

3rd Stretch Goal (T-SHIRTS) + STRONG BAD EMAIL
almost 6 years ago – Wed, Jul 18, 2018 at 10:19:02 PM

Hello again Fellow Keepers of Trogdor,

We have just been burninating through these stretch goals, and we’re so happy that you guys have been supporting us so much! Our next goal is extra special, and we hope you like it.

Stretch Goal #3: T-Shirts and Surprise!

T-Shirts, T-Shirts, T-Shirts! Our third stretch goal involves T-Shirts! We saw that a bunch of you in the comments were itching for some T-Shirts, and we actually had a few ideas in mind! Great minds think in similar ways! We’ve got two great designs for you guys. The first shirt has a picture of the game box on it front and center. We really love what Chris has brought to the table with his artistic abilities, so we’re putting it on a shirt for everyone to wear and feel the majesty. The second shirt is dedicated to our very own Strong Sad. He puts a lot of effort into his board game review youtube channel, and despite his melancholy, it’s fantastic to see all that work pay off. The shirt has the logo for his youtube channel, so give him some support for that! Both of these shirts will be accessible to you as add-ons in BackerKit after the surveys are collected, and all of our add-ons are Kickstarter Exclusive. We’re switching up our goals from dollar milestones to backer milestones from now on, so the goal for this is for the campaign to reach 5,000 backers.

Backer Submitted SBEMAIL!!

You guys already achieved this and you didn’t know it! To thank you amazing fans for all your incredible support over the years, we wanna give you a leg up in getting your email checked by Strong Bad because you never know exactly what kinda email will suit the wrestleman’s whims on a given day. SO, the next Strong Bad Email toon that gets made will be chosen from ‘emails’ submitted by you guys in the comments for this update! NOTE: Strong Bad may not get to check this next email until after the campaign on account of all the Trogdor QA he’s busy with. Your patience (and support!) is appreciated. It’s just something we want to do for you all to show our support. It’s close to our hearts and we’re sure yours too.

Again, thank you all for your continued support! We’ve still got more stretch goals on the way.

Keep on Burninating on, 

- Matt, Mike, and Maya

2nd Stretch Goal - MEEPLE MINI GAME and a WEBSITE
almost 6 years ago – Tue, Jul 17, 2018 at 11:24:04 PM

Hello Fellow Keepers of Trogdor,

You guys are truly awesome. We’ve blown past our first stretch goal, and don’t worry! We’ve already got another great one in store!

Stretch Goal #2: Stack ‘Em To The Heavens and a Website

We know that a lot of you are fans of our wooden meeple pieces. Living vicariously through meeples is a great bonus to being a fan of board games in general. To give you and your meeples the time of your lives, we will make up a tiny stand alone game called “Stack ‘Em To The Heavens” to be played using the 7 included peasant meeples. We will even add a screen-printed drawstring bag to put them in! To be clear, this game does not exist yet. But, by the time you receive your rewards, there will be an actual structured-ish game you all can enjoy!

In addition to that, we’ll be making you all a Companion Soundboard Website for the game! It will feature classic Strong Bad talksays such as “Arrowed,” “It’s Over,” and “Consummate! I said Consummate!” as well as some musical selections to help set the proper mood for your quest of burnination through the countryside. The goal for this is $250,000. Thanks for helping us get this far, and we hope you’ll continue to support us in the future! We’ve still got more goals in store.

Keep on Burninating on, 

- Matt, Mike, and Maya

We're Funded + Stretch Goals
almost 6 years ago – Tue, Jul 17, 2018 at 11:10:33 PM

Hello Fellow Keepers of Trogdor,

Due to your support and immense enthusiasm, we managed to get funded in just under three hours! Thank you guys so much for that. It means a lot that you are all so passionate about playing our game and helping Trogdor on his quest for WORLD BURNINATION!

And now the part you’ve all been waiting for…

Stretch Goals: Non-Repeating Tiles and Spot UV

Our first stretch goal will be to improve the game board tiles. Right now, the 25 countryside tiles comprising the gameboard have some repeats. The two mountains are the same artwork, for example. We’d like to tell our artist, Chris Schweizer, to get back to work and draw more countryside so that no two tiles are the same. In addition to that, adding spot UV to the fire on the burninated will make them look EVEN MORE burninated, so we’d like to do that too. Help us make the cards unique and and increase burnination by getting us to our next goal of $150,000.

Again, thank you all for the support so far, and stay tuned as we’ve got LOTS more fun goals planned.

Keep on Burninating on,

- Matt, Mike, and Maya
