First! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This campaign has been such a joy. I've loved every minute of it, and I can't thank you enough for your support!

Second! After 10 hours of delicious Dungen Con recovery sleep, I realized that we don't have to wait until the pledge manager to add the Child of Bobugbubilz patches (it'll still be there, tho).

You can now add one of 2 new add-ons: 

Warning: if we cross the highly unlikely $17,000 stretch goal, every physical backer will get a FREE patch!

Third! We blew past the $15,500 stretch goal while I was blissfully tucked into my own bed last night, so the bats (and millipedes) make it into the funnel! Thus, revealing the cynical polling engagement tactic to be nothing more than a ruse. Actually, I would have gladly not written two more encounters. 😄

Fourth! The final stretch goals have been revealed: an 11" x 17" poster of the Eye of Bobugbubilz at  $18,500, and a glow-in-the-dark Child of Bobugbubilz enamel pin at $20,000!

There is a secret final stretch goal that the folks who played the Mutant Spawn of the Toadmother playtest at Dungeon Con know about, but I highly doubt we'll get anywhere near it. If, beyond all sense, we hit $20,000, it will be revealed.

First thing: the campaign is STILL RUNNING! As of this update, we are still in Overtime Mode. Which means that when the campaign ended at 4 PM CST on May 1st, a 10-minute clock started running. If at least one person pledged to any of the Mega Dungeon Month campaigns during that time, another 10 minutes was added to the length of the campaign. Well, it's Sunday at 6:37 AM CST as I write this, and the thing won't die!

Which means you still have time to upgrade your pledge or bug your friends, relatives, coworkers, extended family, strangers, and, of course, enemies to back the campaign. I don't know how much longer you have, so you'd better hurry!

Second thing: The final list of monster encounters will include Poisonous Subterranean Mold, Ravenous Troglobitic Leeches, Blind Albino Crabs, and Gargantuan Olms! I am shocked that Giant Mutant Bats didn't make the cut, but there will be plenty of giant mutant whatevers in the adventure.

Last thing: We only got 100 votes for Child of Bobugbubilz patches. So you're out of luck.

Just kidding! I want one of these things too much to hold myself to a dumb rule that past Andy made up. Present Andy wants a glow-in-the-dark patch!

There will be more to come, including more thank-yous, project updates, virtual and in-person playtest opportunities, and other things I can't think of right now.

Thank you so much for making this my best campaign ever! May our greasy lord bless you with warts, boils, and carbuncles! Praise Bobugbubilz!

We have cleared five stretch goals, including 4 new monsters added to the adventure (poll is still open to choose), 2 sticker sheets, and a set of VTT tokens. We're 94% of the way to a cool "Bobugbubilz is my Copilot" bumper sticker!



We've also decided to leapfrog the next stretch goal and get the "Child of Bobugbubilz" patches made if we can get 150 folks to commit $5 to add one in the pledge manager. We're over halfway!



We've only got a couple of days left!

Dungeon Con is this weekend, May 1-3, at the Grand Wayne Convention Center (120 W Jefferson Blvd, Fort Wayne, IN 46802, USA)!

The bad news is that Mutant Spawn of the Toadmother is SOLD OUT.

The good news is that there are still seats available for The Sorcerer's Slumber, a playtest for part four in the Saga of The Sorcerer Verrükter and the Rükstau Rejects.

Parts one and two (The Sorcerer's Fate and The Sorcerer's Return) are available as add-ons to Mutant Spawn of the Toadmother. Part three, The Sorcerer's Conundrum, will be available on BackerKit later this year.

Also, Nerdronomicon will be sharing a booth with the other members of the Chicago Zine Coalition at booth #7! Look for 7 Devils Press, Nerdronomicon, Revivify Press, Jonah White, and Wizards with Laser Rifles (don't forget to back The Madness of Metronax)!

Lastly, due to popular demand and some great feedback, we have lowered the bar on the Child of Bobugbubilz glow-in-the-dark patches! If we can get 150 folks to commit to picking up a patch for $5 in the pledge manager, we'll forego the stretch goal $17,000 hurdle. So far, we are HALF WAY THERE with 75. Commit now!



If we can get the campaign over $17,000, everyone gets a patch for FREE, but I think that's unlikely at this point.

There are 3 DAYS LEFT in the campaign. Don't forget to convince your friends, family members, and mortal enemies to back Mutant Spawn of the Toadmother!

Have you tried reverse psychology?

I've been thinking about how much I want a "Child of Bobubbubilz" glow-in-the-dark patch, and I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but I don't think we're going to make it to $17,000.

So, I'm wondering if folks would be willing to pick up the patch as an add-on in the pledge manager for $5.

OR, go forth and coerce everyone you know to back the campaign so we reach $17,000!

We could go either way.
