Hi all,
Thanks so much for your fantastic support of this project, with a special shout-out to Taylor B. as backer #300! As we noted in the last update, we are excited to bring Foundry VTT support to this project for the Pathfinder 2E version, and if things keep moving along well we hope to have additional Foundry support available soon for Mechanical Heroes and/or Mechanical Monsters 5E.
With just one week to go, we ask once again if you have the chance if you could like, share, comment, retweet, or otherwise help spread the word for this project. We are looking forward a fabulous final week and are getting our PDFs proofed and finalized for print so we'll be ready for a quick fulfillment once the KS ends! Share the link with friends and fellow 5E fans and Pathfinder players and thanks again!
At the Halfway Mark... and adding FOUNDRY!

Thanks to all of our loyal backers, our project is rolling right along. We had questions from some of our fans about whether we'd be able to add Foundry VTT support, and we are pleased to report that the answer is YES!
We've just recently added a new Foundry person and they are getting started on Mechanical Monsters for Pathfinder 2E, so we have added a new Add-On reward where you can get that now. Work is just getting started so it won't be available when the KS ends, but if work moves along quickly then we hope to add a D&D 5E Foundry module and/or bringing Mechanical Heroes for PF2 to Foundry as well! If we're able to add those I'm guessing it'll be more likely during the Backerkit survey, but if things move faster than expected we'll let you know ASAP!
We also might work ahead and make sure we get Foundry support for our upcoming Mediterranean Monsters bestiary, because we know how important that is, especially for PF2 fans.
Thanks for your feedback and we hope you are as excited about this project as we are. Keep spreading the word and have a Legendary week!

Hi all and thanks for your support of this project so far! I proofed over 500 pages of text and art today and these books are looking great! We should have the final files in hand early next week and ready to drop as soon as the project ends! We want to send a shout-out to Amber for pushing us over the $10,000 mark, but we thank each and every one of you for making this project amazing already!
One of the great things about the gaming community is how we all can work together. 5E fans have seen a lot of potential changes coming to the gaming landscape with spinoff systems like ENWorld's LevelUp and Kobold's Tales of the Valiant, and we've had support for both. Kobold is running their GameMaster's Guide Kickstarter right now and LG is one of the companies partnering with them on the new Black Flag Adventure Pack Add-On. You can expand your existing 5E game with ideas from ToV or even adopt it as your new version of 5E!
But it's not just big companies, either. The RPG world creates all kinds of cool projects with a variety of themes, from whimsical magic item collections full of color and magic like Mr. Purrson's Caravan of Wonders: 100 Magical Trinkets by Quill's Tiny Quests on one extreme to grim and gritty, postapocalyptic adventure like Rust and the Raiderfrom Anthony David! We've checked these out and they look delightful, and we encourage you to check out all of the amazing KS projects going on right now!
Embark on an extraordinary journey with "The Rust and The Raider", a unique 5e D&D campaign set in the steam-powered city of Ironshard, now live on Kickstarter! Join forces with fellow adventurers to combat the mysterious rust affliction threatening the city's air fleet. Experience a rich narrative woven with intricate steampunk aesthetics, engaging combat mechanics, and immersive role-playing. Support this project to unlock exclusive rewards and be part of crafting a dynamic, steampunk adventure. Explore "The Rust and The Raider" on Kickstarter today and help bring this captivating world to life!
Thanks for a terrific beginning for the new Mechanical Monsters project!

We appreciate each and every one of you backing this project to make it a reality, and as is our custom we wanted to send a special shout-out to Arch DeLux as backer #100 and Jamie B as backer #200! We are delighted to bring this bestiary and bonus material to our Pathfinder Second Edition fans as well as the DnD 5E fans and Pathfinder RPG players on the original project!
There was some confusion as to whether this project involved a new book for 5E and PF1, so we edited the project description to make very clear that the new material for this project was the PF2 material plus new VTT options in the add-ons. We did much the same with our Mythos Monsters and Asian Monsters projects, which were initially run as 5E-only projects, and we did follow-up campaigns adding PF1 and PF2 options to both. We are doing the same right now with our Mediterranean Monsters book from last summer, another 5E-only project that is getting PF1 and PF2 support in a follow-up Quick-Starter this spring!
We are excited to get these books in your hands ASAP and we appreciate all of your support and hope you can help share the good news about this project with your family, friends, and fellow gamers! Share the link right here and Happy Gaming!
