Hello hello wonderful Adventurers,
What a great update we have today! Another Stretch Goal down and another Stretch Goal revealed. Welcome to all of you who have just joined the campaign. We are having such an incredible time here at Lairs headquarters. There is so much amazing engagement on this campaign. We are loving every second of it. If you've been here for a while, you're the ones that have been having all of this fun. We appreciate you sticking around and thank you so much for your amazing generosity! Now, what we've all been waiting for!
What We've Unlocked
I knew we'd get here, but this is one I was really excited for. Mostly because you asked for it, and now we've been able to make it happen. But also because big boxes just look so good on the shelf!!
What We're Working On
I love new Traps! More game to play, means more fun to be had!!
What's Next
The more wood, the better, I say!! Let's make these two happen, Adventurers!
New Treasures Contest
Thank you so much for your amazing excitement over this contest. Now is when it gets more difficult. Choosing the ones you want to see in the game! There will be THREE winners this time, out of our six amazing finalists. You can vote every 12 hours in the Comments. Here are some details for you...

How Can We Make These New Stretch Goals Happen?
A lot of work goes into running a Kickstarter campaign. But much of the work keeping it going comes from your enthusiasm. The more you share, the more backers we get. The more backers we get, the more Stretch Goals we get. Want to help out? Here's how:
Kicktraq Hotlist
Kicktraq is a database website that many people go to, to find out what hot games (and other Kickstarter campaigns are trending). Please help to keep us on the Kicktraq HOT LIST! We are currently sitting in the 4th spot on the list! This is pretty awesome. This will get lots of eyes on the campaign page "organically". But the best way for us to keep Lairs on the front page is to make a comment on the Lairs campaign. This is a great way to add your votes to the Treasures Contest. You can do this through this link. Once you get to the Lairs Kicktraq page, click on the green "VISIT PROJECT" button on the upper left hand side of the page. The more backers that do it, the more likely we'll remain on the Hot List!!
That's all for now, Adventurers! If you have any questions about the campaign, or just want to talk with us, please do leave a comment in the main Comments section on the campaign page.
You are all amazing, and we are so lucky that you chose to be with us on the Lairs campaign!

An Update Chalk Full of Goodies
about 2 months ago
– Sat, Nov 23, 2024 at 10:26:45 AM
Hello wonderful Adventurers,
We have another Stretch Goal down!! And it was such a good one too. In this update there are so many amazing tidbits of info, it was hard to pack it all into one update. Before I get to that, I want to welcome all of you new backers, since the last update, to this amazing campaign. We are having so much fun. Just wait until you get into the swing of it! We've got contests galore, and watching the Stretch Goals roll in has been so exciting. And to those of you who have been sticking around for a while, we're so glad to have you continue on this Lairs journey with us. We hope you continue to enjoy!
What We've Unlocked
Special dice are always exciting for me! I love a set of dice that belong to one game, and one game only. Here are the special dice upgrades that we DICED UP!!
What We're Working On
More Treasures, means more replayability!!! Love this one in particular because of how far reaching you can be with it!
What's Next
You asked for it! We found a way to make it happen. Kickstarter games only will get the bigger box when we reach $155 000. Some of you want to fit it all in one box. Some of you want to keep your two boxes. This is the best of both worlds!
Kickstarter Projects We Love
While we often earn the Project We Love designation, it doesn't make it any less exciting when Kickstarter tells us we got it again. Yay! We've made a Kickstarter Project We Love campaign!!
Make a Monster Contest Results
The amazing backers on this campaign have been diligently suggesting and voting for their favourite monsters. Literally hundreds of votes were cast. Trust me, I know, because I responded to each and every one of them. Not to mention keeping count. Well, Josh did that part.
Drumroll please...

New Treasures Contest
We had so much fun with the first contest, we wanted to do another. And already we have had a treasure trove of suggestions. Join the fun of dreaming up and naming all sorts of magical items with us... this time there will be THREE winners.

New Details For Multi-Player Lairs
You asked for it. We've found a way to make it work! And we have posted a link to the draft multiplayer rules!

Another one you asked for, and we've found a way to do!!

How Can We Get These New Stretch Goals, You Ask??
Running a campaign doesn't mean that people are going to automatically find it and back it. A lot of work goes into marketing and sharing. But that alone cannot be the only way for people to find this amazing game. We need your help to get the word out, build up our backer numbers, as well as the funding numbers. We do this so that we can add as much as possible to what is an amazing game already. If you want to help us achieve all of the amazing Stretch Goals we have in store, we need you to share this campaign. Here's how:
Kicktraq Hotlist
Kicktraq is a database website that many people go to, to find out what hot games (and other Kickstarter campaigns are trending). Please help to keep us on the Kicktraq HOT LIST! We are currently sitting in the 3rd spot on the list! This is pretty awesome. This will get lots of eyes on the campaign page "organically". But the best way for us to keep Lairs on the front page is to make a comment on the Lairs campaign. This is a good way to add your treasure suggestions, name ideas, and eventually your votes to the Treasures Contest. You can do this through this link. Once you get to the Lairs Kicktraq page, click on the green "VISIT PROJECT" button on the upper left hand side of the page. The more backers that do it, the more likely we'll remain on the Hot List!!
That's all for now, Adventurers! If you have any questions about the campaign, or just want to talk with us, please do leave a comment in the main Comments section on the campaign page.

Hello Adventurers!!!
We have reached another two Stretch Goals!!!! Didn't foresee that coming into the weekend. But here we are! Before I talk about Stretch Goals, let me thank all of you for being here with us. We have been loving this campaign from top to bottom. It is you, the backers, who have made that happen! Your excitement for the game and the suggestions you've been making for Monsters, as well as their Monster names have been phenomenal!! Thank you so much for that enthusiasm. Now, for the task at hand...
What We've Unlocked
Love adding new content. It just makes the game so much more replayable! And this one allows you to learn about any spot in your dungeon!! So exciting!
And another one! Chain Snares is is a special Trap that we've added to the Vault, that specifically tangles up explorers and hampers their Quickness. Lots of diabolical places to set this one for maximum impact!
What We're Working On
I am a massive fan of special dice in a Kickstarter game. Especially when they are Kickstarter exclusive. These dice are so 🔥
What's Next
As you may already know, I'm a big fan of added content to my Kickstarter games. So this Obsidian Orb Treasure card is an exciting addition. Love that it will help you get an early idea of where points of interest are hidden!
