Well, we’ve gone and done it – the Kickstarter campaign for Specimen went live on September 5. We have until October 9 to raise $30,000 so we can finish up the graphics and print the game. To give you a deeper look into the world of the game, we’ll be adding more videos to the page soon. We raised over a thousand dollars on our first day, so needless to say we’re pretty excited about things so far. Go on over to the Kickstarter page and check it out – it’s pretty cool!

I’ve been hinting and teasing, here and on Facebook and on the blog for a few weeks now, but here’s an official announcement: we will be launching a Kickstarter campaign next month to raise money towards the “Specimen” board game. There will be more details as we hammer them out, but we have some cool things planned. The campaign will launch in mid-August and run to the end of September. Watch this space, or this one or this one!
