Hello Creatures of the Night!
I have good news. We received funds and had Bearcakedice start production on the dice. Here's a photo from the creation process. You can see all the unique, handmade patterns emerging. Please note that these will be polished and processed more to the ones you see on the campaign. This is a work in progress photo.
For the PDF, we are in the process of drawing the battlemaps and everything else is ready.
Backerkit
I'm working on getting backerkit set up. I'll do it as close to shipping as possible, so we'll have the most accurate shipping fees available. I'll inform you when it's available.
Don't Miss The Open Tome:
As you know, we are giving out free content weekly on our newsletter, The Open Tome. We already published an Elite Undead with its battlemap there: Spellbreaker Beast Zombie.
We are using The Open Tome to test our ideas, try to get feedback from our backers and followers and provide value for free. Spellbreaker Beast is a tryout of formatting and drawing the battlemaps.
As soon as you sign up, you'll be able to gain access to 56 pages of content, plus 2 battlemaps, special discount for Book of Conflict: Brutal Races and more.
Please take a look at the Spellbreaker Beast and give us feedback, so our finished Elite Undead book is the best it can be for you.

We will be setting up the pledge manager and will send you all surveys about your addresses soon. Also, the shipping fees will be collected in the pledge manager.
For all backers from previous campaign: If you were not an early bird backer, as promised, you'll have your discount applied in the pledge manager.
For everyone: Since you're a backer now, you are all considered VIP in the future and will have early bird rewards guaranteed in every campaign we will be doing, whenever you decide to back us. We will be happy to see you among us!
For now, we will rest a bit and start working on the rewards asap. I will have news about the dice and the book by the time pledge manager is set up.

Hello Necromancers!
Thanks to your support, we have unlocked the unique loot for the elite undead. Now we set our eyes to the Lich class as we enter our last day. Share our campaign so we can reach it faster!
Let's see what we're planning for the Lich:
Embrace the Darkness of Lichdom
Transform yourself into one of the most feared undead creatures with the Lich Class! Whether you're mastering forbidden knowledge through your phylactery or tapping into the power of Colddeath, Cryptsmith, or Demilich paths, lichdom grants unparalleled power to spellcasters who dare to embrace eternity.
Key Features
-
Phylactery: Secure your immortality with a soul-bound anchor. Survive destruction and rise again to continue your quest for knowledge.
-
Immortal Paths: Choose from three unique specializations to customize your lich’s power:
-
Colddeath: Harness the chill of death with ice and necrotic energy.
-
Cryptsmith: Forge magical armor to blend necromantic and arcane might.
-
Demilich: Transcend physical form and become a floating skull empowered by soul gems.
-
Masterful Spellcasting: Retain the spellcasting abilities of your base spellcaster class, enhancing them with the resilience and features of a lich.
-
Undead Traits: Gain immunity to poison and exhaustion, resistance to necrotic energy, and other powerful undead qualities.
Again, thank you for all your support! Let's unlock the Lich and make this book have more content in it.

Both of these campaigns are from people we know and have a great past in creating TTRPG content. Here they are:

Zombie Class is Unlocked! Unique Loot Next.
over 1 year ago
– Sat, Dec 28, 2024 at 12:45:07 AM
Hello from beyond the grave!
Thanks to your support, we have unlocked the Zombie Class and its three subclasses! Now, if you get the PDF as a reward, you will get Zombie Class as well as the Vampire Class! Beside the class, you will get feats and magical items tailored to zombies too!
Since we got very close to reaching the goal a few days ago, we completed the art beforehand to show you.
At the left: Boneless. This zombie type is very flexible and can fight in cramped areas.
Center: Meatshield is the most durable zombie type there is!
At the Right: Rottenwalker uses their rotting flesh and diseases to defeat their foes.
Next Up (After Unique Loot):
As you know, we have 15 Elite Undead bosses as a bestiary in our book. We will include a unique magical item for each of these undead bosses, when we reach the stretch goal, so you'll be rewarded adequately when you defeat them and find their treasures OR when preparing to take them down, you can go on a quest for a particularly powerful magical item to defeat them.
After the unique loot, Lich Class awaits us. Share the campaign with people that might be interested to reach the stretch goals and get the free content expansion!
Again, thank you for your support and have a nice day!
