Hi Fellow Doomscrollers!
We're in the final stretch for Doomscroll, and there's plenty to share! Check out our stretch goal, contest winner, and the custom card being created for our backer!
1. Upcoming Stretch Goal: Upgraded Player Boards
We're getting closer and closer to the $15,000 stretch goal - higher-quality player boards! If we reach this goal, we'll move from standard card stock to thicker, slicker greyboard that will give the quad-fold player mats some great heft!
We appreciate all of your efforts to help us reach the upgraded player board goal - please share out the campaign with friends, family, and more!
2. Contest #2 Winner for the Create a Card Contest
We had TONS of fantastic name, username, and card text recommendations for our card creator contest. However, the card that cracked us up was submitted by Robert, who submitted the card below. Congrats - you've score a FREE copy of Doomscroll!
3. Custom Character for our High-end Backer
We've had a gracious family back at the $750 Custom Card level for Doomscroll, and they have decided to turn their son, Eli, into a card! Below are two designs they are deciding between for their son - either way, he'll be a steampunk space explorer. Which do you like - left or right?
Thanks again for your incredible support - we hope these final hours of the campaign bring more great news for Doomscroll!
Best,
Jon

Hi Fellow Doomscrollers,
WE'RE FUNDED! Holy tornado!
Thank you ALL for the incredible support during the campaign thus far. We set a $10,000 goal for a reason - no matter what, we knew we could deliver each and every one of you an incredible product at a fair price. Now that you've helped us achieve that, we promise to make it a reality.
What's Next? Upgraded Player Boards!
Now that you've crushed the funding goal, we're onto the first stretch goal - improved player boards!
At the $15,000 level, we're bumping up the quality of the Doomscroll player boards even more. Get excited!
New Art - Soren Sports Star Influencer Card
In addition to the funding level milestone, we've got new card art to share. Check out Soren Sports Star - one of our Influencer Cards!
We're so thrilled to see where the campaign goes from here. THANK YOU for all of your efforts to help make Doomscroll a reality!
Best,
Jon

Hi Fellow Doomscrollers!
What a week it's been - whether it was selecting from fantastic contest entries, getting oh-so-close to funding, or receiving exciting news on our stretch goal opportunities, we have plenty to share!
1. Create the Card Contest #1 Winner
We had SO MANY fantastic entries for our first "create the card" contest for Doomscroll. While so many were deserving, we went with the submission below from Nathan Ducasse. He did a great riff on Rock em Sock em Robots to take home the crown!
Don't worry - we've got another card contest coming your way soon!
We're incredibly excited about one of our upcoming stretch goals ... augmented reality cards that come to life! In the example below, check out as one of our Visual Post Cards becomes a living video using Halo AR, a free augmented reality viewing app!
3. So Close - Let's Get Doomscroll Over the Finish Line for Sloane!
We're oh-so-close as of this update... only $200 away. Let's get Doomscroll funded together by sharing out the project to friends, family, and on social media. Do it for our adorable daughter, Sloane!
Look at that face - don't let her down!
We're so thankful for your support thus far! We cannot wait to share the next contest, stretch goals, and more!
Best,
Jon
