I'm thankful for you!
Happy Thanksgiving from us here in the US to all of you around the world.
My wish for you all is the happiest of days, warmest of hugs, and sincerest of smiles. Whether you're celebrating with friends, spending time with family, or to you, it's just another Thursday, I hope it is a very good Thursday, indeed.
New Tokens
Are those Christmas lights I see?
AMA Recap
The AMA went really well, for my first one. We had several questions, covering everything from my early days playing D&D, to every minute detail of the binders, to a few teases for upcoming projects.
A small confession - I rolled a nat 1 when looking at the calendar about six months ago and planned this Kickstarter. I had it in my head that Thanksgiving would fall the week before this campaign concluded. Alas, I know the rules for Thanksgiving are the same every year, but when you botch a roll, you botch a roll.
I'll be cooking today. We expect to have a pretty good crowd at our home, and in recent years, we've become the hosts. I'll be checking in on comments and have an eye on things, but I will have more time tomorrow for our last 24 hours.
As we round the final stretch, I have one more reveal coming! Keep your eyes peeled.
Talk tomorrow,
Darryl T. Jones!
HUGE NEWS: All Physical Backers Now Get Stretch Goal Bonuses, A New Tier, & Chance to Ask Darryl Anything
4 months ago
– Wed, Nov 19, 2025 at 04:28:08 PM
We hear you, loud and clear! We consider ourselves extremely lucky to have such a great community, and we're glad you're taking the time to talk to us. So, without further ado:
By Popular Demand - Stretch Goals for All Physical Backers
Initially, our plan limited stretch goal bonus tokens to the Champion tier and above because of fulfillment concerns. Thanks to your overwhelming support and some careful planning, we've found a way to include all unlocked stretch goal tokens for EVERY physical tier backer.
Adventurers and Legends alike will receive a stretch goal package with their pledge, including the additional token packs (currently the Cthulhu pack and the Trees pack).
We're finishing more tokens every day, and I wanted to share some. The clockwork creatures in Tome of Beasts are pretty amazing! Looks like Mr. & Mrs. Claus have made a visit too!
New Recruits Merit - Classic Champion Tier
We're excited that so many of you are joining us! For those who only want the Classic Fantasy Packs, we've added the Classic Champion tier. You'll get all four Classic Fantasy Packs, the Void Dice, and the Classic Fantasy PNG tokens.
Video Q&A with Darryl - November 25th 8pm ET
Join us on November 25th for a video Q&A with Darryl. Curious about designing adventures, creating art, or anything else? Please drop by to ask!

A Victory for Roars & Howls And An Opportunity to Grow Your Own Forest

Third Stretch Goal Down and Halfway Through the Kickstarter Campaign
Hail, adventurers!
We're at the midpoint of our Kickstarter journey and the progress has been incredible. In two weeks, you've unlocked:
37 more tokens!
The Cthulhu Pack
Sacred Guardians bonus tokens
Roars & Howls bonus tokens (won by a narrow margin!)
Thank you for your enthusiasm and support. Let's keep this momentum going!
Our Adventure Continues with a Fourth Stretch Goal - Add Trees & Plants
Every dragon needs a hoard, every GM needs monsters, and every story needs a setting. When we hit this goal, you're getting terrain tokens—trees—seven distinct variants to build your world:
Add a courtyard orchard to a castle
Drop a fallen log across a forest road
Create cover and ambush points in any battle
Frame that tavern with an ominous forest edge
Terrain is one of your most-requested additions. Trees go everywhere and make every encounter better.
A Holiday Feast Draws Near
The holiday season is coming and we'd love to celebrate with you! Since we can't host all of you at our tables, we're bringing our favorite dishes to yours with a holiday feast token set.
As is customary, we'd like you to bring something: your best dish suggestions! Let us know what should be on the table—roasted boar, honey cakes, suspicious mystery stew—and we'll include as many as we can.
This set will also include:
Santa
Turkey
Snowman
Snowwoman
Eldritch Snow Horror
How to Unlock This Stretch Goal, you ask?
Tag us on social media 100 times (combined across X, Facebook, and Instagram) with a link to this campaign before Thanksgiving, and we'll automatically unlock this holiday treat!
Bonus: We'll send these digitally before Christmas!
Tag @splatteredink and help us spread the word!

Just over one week down: You Absolute Legends!
Hey everyone! Darryl here.
Holy Shoggoth, what a week! When we launched, you all showed up in force and things keep rolling! We're over 1600% funded! Seriously! Thank you.
Unlocked So Far!
You've already unlocked the Cthulhu Pack and we've already finished the rest of the art! You can see it below.
You've also unlocked 16 more tokens for the Tome of Beasts packs: Sacred Guardians. 4 tokens per pack that add more copies of already impressive amount of tokens in each pack. Need more Groovekeepers? You got 'em. Need another Temple Dog? You got it!
Next Stretch Goal
The next Stretch Goal is about to fall! We're less than 3k away at the time of this update. That means you only have a little more time to vote on which tokens will be added.
Which will it be? Roars & Howls or Pests & Protectors! With either, you can't go wrong as they both add 16 more tokens to the Classic Fantasy packs!
To vote: Comment on the Kickstarter's main comment tab with your choice. Voting closes when we hit $70k—so get in there!
Have Questions?
If you have any specific questions, just reach out. We have a vibrant and growing community on Discord. We would love to get to know you, so don't hesitate to jump in! 😊

Over 1000% funded in less than a day! Your support has exceeded our wildest expectations, and we couldn't be more grateful.

Thank you for believing in this project. Thank you for sharing it with your friends and gaming groups. Thank you for being part of this incredible community that makes projects like RPG Essentials 2 possible.
This collaboration between Kobold Press and Splattered Ink Games has been years in the making, and seeing this level of enthusiasm makes every late night, every revision, and every obsessive detail worth it.
What's Next?
Cthulhu Pack Unlocked!
Look at those sketches for the Cthulhu Pack! I can feel the fear building in some of my own characters! Wait till you drop them on your table!
First Backer Vote: Tome of Beasts Bonus Tokens!
Comment on the main Kickstarter Comments tab to place your vote. What will we unlock first, the Wings and Stings Pack or the Sacred Guardians Pack? Either way, unlock this stretch goal and we're adding 4 tokens to each pack, 16 total!
For now, we just wanted to pause and say thank you. You've made this campaign something truly special.
Here's to infinite adventures ahead.
