- I've got a big announcement, and I'm revealing my face on this channel for the first time to tell you about it! The crowdfunding campaign page for MONSTROUS: The Story Behind the Stat Blocks has LAUNCHED! This book is a system agnostic gm prep guide to help you tell exciting new stories with your players in your favorite fantasy TTRPG! If you are using DnD 5E, Pathfinder, Old School Essentials, Knave, if the game has monsters, we want to help you make the most of it the narrative impact!
UPDATE: Amber has been hard at work trying to figure out our international shipping conundrum. She was able to pick a friend’s brain, who also happens to be the Sales Manager at Kobold Press, Kym Weiler. Logistics is a main part of Kym's day-to-day role, so she lives and breathes shipping and distribution. Kym has provided solutions for us to be able to open shipping to people outside of the USA and its territories! THANK YOU KYM!!

Face reveal! And it's far from Monstrous 😛 backing asap!
Thank you so much! Cheers!!
Whoever did the rendering on this 3D animation knocked it out the park. So lifelike!
Haha!! This really got me!! Hahaha!!
Edit: done and done! Let's get this book in as many hasds as possible~!
This is gonna sound kinda weird and maybe a little mean but I fully love this channel and the work done on it...
But have you ever watched a faceless set of hands for a while, then found their face to be not what you expected?
This is the opposite of that, and only like 3 channels have managed to completely fit face and voice.
And I love it, to be honest. Lookit that man, I wanna give him a great big hug and say "Hey man, I love you work and you really helped me out a bunch on some real tough things, for seemingly no particular reason."
But, time to put my money where my mouth is, huh?
You can do it Kyle! It is going to be an amazing book! :D
Thank you so much, Evlyn! I'm so excited to see out this goes!
Hang on, who is this person and how have they dubbed Kyle's voice over themselves speaking?? Jokes aside, all the best with the KS! I wish you and the project MONSTROUS amounts of success!!
Thank you so much!!
Very excited to back this project. Your takes on various monster varieties have sent me down more than a few rewarding rabbit-holes.
Your earnest passion comes through all the more with a person to the voice! Monstrous wishes for your Kickstarter!!!
Congratulations team! Putting together a project like this is a massive undertaking. Your efforts are sure to be noticed!
So thankful for everything you've done with your channel and super excited for this book!
Thank you for the kind words!!
Kyle! Monsters! Books! Art! Back now!
It's a busy day, week, and month for RPG Kickstarters. Hope you guys are successful with this project both financially and artistically.
Been around since about 8k subs, its so awsome to see this channel grow and seeing you make this book. Itll be great!
been binging splatbook lately, you're great! nice to put a (very young!) face to the voice!
Thanks for making international pledges! Upgraded from the PDF now :)
Thank you so much!! We were lucky to find the help we needed for that!!
I've been really inspired by your videos as an artist, so I'm wishing ya all the best with the project becoming everything you're aiming for and more
Dude your voice fits how you look so well omg
Thanks for stoking the fires of creativity with all the work on Monstrous!!!
So excited for this! I jumped on the kickstarter as soon as I saw the email and can't wait to get the book in my own hands! I ended up picking two copies so I can maybe gift one to my little brother. Congrats on Launching the project and hopefully you blow it out of the park!
Thank you so much!! That means a lot to me!! Cheers!!
Luv your videos bruv! Keep it up, please! I need more RPG in my life!
I put in my pledge. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos and content; fingers crossed for you and your team!
Much appreciated!
Congratulations on finally getting it out there! I'll definitely be supporting this project if I can :D
I’m so excited to see it!! This sounds amazing and I’m commenting to spread the word for you man!
Omg, your face looks like your voice! its so awesome!
I like how you listed the 10 cores on the white board behind you.
That's a nice detail.
Thanks! That's there to help me keep track of progress and in interviews and conversations! Haha!
I have been looking forward to this book for so long! I have already backed and will be crowing about this from the rooftops!
Thank you! And "crowing from the roof"? I see what you did there. Haha
Hey^^
Nice to see you.😎
The Cartoon Version seems to be a bit older, so this is a surprise.
Thanks again for your Videos.
It helped me a whole lot.👍🏻
your last video made me so excited for the book! good luck!
Thank you so much!!
Just backed it! Good luck and get ready for a wild ride on KS!
Heck yeah!! Thanks!!
I really want this book! The concept is amazing!
Thank you so much!!
Backed and shared! Wishing you, Amber, and all of Cloud Curio the best on your Kickstarter journey 🥃
Thank you so much!!
Yessss!
0:01 "Have you ever looked at . . ." the face of a disembodied hand? hahaha
This is the most excited I've been about a project in a long time! I don't really even like RPGs, but I love art, story telling, and the wider world of game design. The work I've seen from you and your collaborators has been wonderful. Fingers crossed others are as enthusiastic about this as I am!
Love The Splatbook podcast btw
I am so excited for you and your project! I wanted to support you guys on kickstarter but looks like they only accept online card payments, which my card isn't capable of. So I'll have to wait for the etsy preorders. Best of luck with the campaign!
Best of luck with this cool project!
Absolutely one of my favorite channels and creators. Just backed and can’t wait to be able to purchase a hard cover (and maybe those Tarot 👀) from way down here in Australia.
Much love. ❤️
Awesome! Thank you so much! And thank you for understanding the international shipping situation!
We are making international shipping available for MONSTROUS! Because of overwhelming feedback, we have hired a consultant to help us make sure that we can ship reliably all over the world! There is announcement about it on the campaign page! Cheers!
@@mapcrow just updated to the Dragon’s Hoard bundle! Thanks so much to you and the team for all the hard work. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!
Let's go!! Pledged! Super excited for you Kyle!
Heck yeah! Thank you so much!!
Congratulations on reaching this milestone!
Good to see your face man!
The tarot cards look amazing! Proud to be one of the first backers :P
Thank you so much! That's wonderful to hear!!
Woooooow c: I love the way your expression changes when you change your voice :3
I'm glad I got to see it ^^
Specifically when you say MONSTROUS :B
Haha!! I've been told I have a very expressive face, and I really get into it when I say that word! Cheers!!
Ooh im excited! Never backed a kickstarter before but i am very likely to back monstrous. Youve been my favorite RUclips channel for a while and reinvented the way i look at and run RPG's. Congrats Kyle!
Wow, Thank you!! That's very high praise!
YEAH!! LET'S GOOO!
And now we have a good advertisement video! :)
Eres hermoso!!! Y un gran héroe para mí ✨
You know, the old Dragon articles "Ecology of the..." always sparked my imagination. Good luck, you guys! Spark some imaginations!
OK, I’m in … I would have done it yesterday, but had too little signal at the office to be able to access the KS web site.
Ha! Wonderful!! Glad you got that signal!! And thank you!!
Backed! Good luck!
Hope it's available in Canada in the future. Good luck with the campaign!
Hi there! As it says on our campaign page, "we will be opening preorders on our Etsy January 1-March 1 in 2024 for international customers and for fans who may have missed this Kickstarter's funding period." If everything goes to plan, it might be as little as one month after the KS rewards ship!!
@@mapcrow Thanks, looking forward to it!
We are making international shipping available for MONSTROUS! Because of overwhelming feedback, we have hired a consultant to help us make sure that we can ship reliably all over the world! There is announcement about it on the campaign page! Cheers!
I'm so excited to see this come to fruition!! Had to just get the PDF for now since I'm not US based but I'll definitely be upgrading if you add the ability to ship to the UK! I really hope the kickstarter goes well for you, it sounds like a really cool and unique project.
Thank you so much! Your PDF will come with a coupon code to take the price off the international preorder! If everything goes smoothly, you'll get your books within a month or two of the KS backers! Cheers!!
@@mapcrow ooh that's awesome, I'm even more excited now!!

After knowing you only from your hand and voice, this feels like meeting you for the first time! Congratulations on your project. You're making me want to try new things at the table! 😊
edit: the end made me emotional, thank you for sharing your passion ❤
Thank you so much!! I am really so grateful and happy to be working with this team!!
I can't wait to hold this book in my hands!!
Heck yeah!! Me neither!!
What a fantastic idea!
No international shipping? Surely you can figure out a way to tack the additional cost onto those of us who'd be willing to pay it.

i was so excited for this project and still kinda am, i really wanted a physical version of this book but you dont ship outside the US... so i guess a PDF will have to do
Howdy! As it says on our campaign page, "we will be opening preorders on our Etsy January 1-March 1 in 2024 for international customers and for fans who may have missed this Kickstarter's funding period." If everything goes to plan, it might be as little as one month after the KS rewards ship!!

😎😎😎
that heartfelt message at the end
They are the best people I've ever met!
No red shirt! Also monstrous sounds cool, I might just get it for the monsters 😂
That's an amazing idea, man! Good luck!
Thank you so much!!
I swear whenever I pictured you irl it was just Zee Bashew XD
WOOOOO, FACE REVEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my god he really does look like his character
Very excited to see it! I was disappointed that the shipping was USA only, but then again you explained why its that way. I'll pledge right now :)
Thank you so much for your understanding! The truth is I've seen folks go bankrupt from international shipping issues, specifically because the way that kickstarter handles it. So yeah, we gotta be smart about handling this!

Done!
Thank you so much!
My man really said system agnostic with a straight face.
He has a face! I knew it all along!
There's a small error on the 'Fund Allocation' graphic on the kickstarter page. The key colors for '2' and '3' do not match the pie chart.
Hope I'm helping with this bug report. Good luck with the project!
Thanks! Yeah we just spotted that too! It’ll be fixed soon, but the numbers below are correct
BACKED!
Finally a face reveal! Good luck on the KS, dude. But lemme ask you something, what is the purpose of the tin funnel on your desk? 😂
Ah! That is a light that I use for my videos! It takes a lot of light to make sure everything shows up on camera but doesn't wash out the details!!
Crow-d funding :D hope it goes well!
It did! Back in September we funded at 92k
Hell yeah! Any plans to ship outside the US (please, please, please, please!!)?
Huge fan from Brazil here 😊

@@mapcrow Nice one, backed.
Oh no! Kyle has evolved from talking hands to talking head! Jk, very excited about Monstrous!
I've been signed up to the prewarning for this kickstarter, but sadly i'm in the UK. Is there any plan for it to be available outside of the USA at some point. Would love to support this project but was really keen to have a physical version.

@@mapcrow you're a star! Thank you for this. Really appreciate it - what an excellent thing for your art to be available to a wider more international audience... Including me! 😂
Very excited for this, kinda dissapointed hard covers only ship to US

OH MY GOSH HE'S THREE-DIMENSIONAL
you look ALOT younger than your carton form :b
Hey I saw that as a non-usa resident i cannot get the cool deluxe + tarot pledge; once you open up the pre-order in etsy (if i understood correctly) will i be able to get that pledge level plus the kickstarter unlocks, or that is lost/i will ahve to pay for everything separately?
Howdy! You'll get the same stuff as the KS backers! And if you back at the PDF level, you will be sent a discount code to take the price off your book order for international preorders! We don't really want to use FOMO to sell this book, and we hope to keep this in print for a long while, but the KS campaign will determine if it happens at all.

@@mapcrow I saw it earlier at work, just made my international dragon's hoard pledge!
Thank you so much! Cheers!!@@jacksteppenwolf6975
Never before have I been this excited to finally decide to want to pledge, only to run into the invalid payment option wall of doom! Is there a way to support the project outside of kickstarter, or will the book's final release be available for non-American viewers as well? Where I'm from we use a card that isn't yet supported by kickstarter and paypal doesn't work either.
Due to the variability of shipping costs and our fulfillment capabilities, we cannot offer international shipping at this time. However, we will be opening preorders on our Etsy January 1-March 1 in 2024 for international customers and for fans who may have missed this Kickstarter's funding period. Sign up for the Cloud Curio newsletter to be notified when preorders go live!
@@mapcrow Completely understandable, it warms my heart to hear you've thought this far ahead and are really trying to make something meaningful here. I'm typically not about mailing lists, but for this project and the people behind it in particular I think I just might!
Thank you so much for the kind words and understanding! @@xandostres

@@mapcrow You crazy son of a gun, you did it! Sadly Kickstarter doesn't support many cards or other payment options, which is completely out of your control so no need to worry. I'll still be waiting on the Etsy preorders, you're doing great!
Will the Dragons Hoard tier be available for international shipping when that opens?
Also, hope the campaign goes great!
Yes! That will be available for international customers after the campaign, if we fun!

Ah awesome! Just backed! I didn't get a RUclips notification about this comment so might be good to do a short or vid or something announcing international shipping, only happened to check the campaign today and saw it
Wait a minute, you are not a cartoon??? Monstrous looks rad as hell
Thank you for the kind words about the book!!
HOLY SHIT LA FACE
No shipping outside of the US. Too bad!

i would love to support this product but it only ships to the US. I am in Canada. It it can't ship i will still buy the digital verison but i'd love to have a hard cover book!

I’m so excited for this book!!
HA! BOO!

jk Monstrous looks really cool :D
HA! Thank you!!
Big Announcement! You are not, in fact, a crow with human arms.
Which is what I thought until I saw your actual face.
Ha! Yup, sorry to spoil the magic!
Bro looks like a powerful paladin
I will miss the mystery of not knowing your face lol.
Bro kyle face reval!
No plans for paperback, it sounds like?
Not for this kickstarter. We probably wouldn't need to go to crowdfunding for a softback.
wait you are tell me you are not just a set of hands a smoth disembodied voice well i never
I was super excited until I saw the internatonal shipping thing. Now I guess I'm Maybe gonna be excited in a few months instead. Good luck though

I would have taken the deluxe hardback. Oh well the pdf will be nice enough
yeah, I was planning to pledge, can't now
@@Silkspar I thought about it too. However, I think I'll pledge at the digital level. That will be my way to help the project.
@@hugomoel8490 yeah, but I don't really want to pay for the PDF 2x so I'll wait for etsy
