Whether it was in the midst of a grand quest through enchanted wood or found sitting atop an altar during an eerie dungeon delve, the only thing you know for sure is that a little freak resides inside. But what kind?

Tender Hatchlings is a system-agnostic TTRPG zine perfect for any party that stumbles upon a mysterious egg during their adventures. Players will soon find themselves as the caretakers of one of six freaky creatures with its own eccentricities, abilities, and plot hooks to weave into your own campaigns.

Models not to scale.
Edit


Tender Hatchlings is a 10-page, digest-size (8.5" x 5.5"), full color zine showcasing six freaky creatures with their own unique personalities, abilities, and potential to disrupt or enhance a campaign, ranging from a legendary golden feline kaiju to an erudite dinosaur princess.

Like my previous project, Suburbia: The Envy of A Million Spheres!, Tender Hatchlings will exclusively feature physical, hand-sculpted artwork. These six, one-of-a-kind sculpts are also available as rewards for select pledge tiers!

Pledges do not cover shipping fees!!! These are to be collected after the campaign with Backerkit. A survey will be sent out to backers to collect shipping information. You won't receive your rewards if the survey is not completed so please fill them out as soon as you can!

I intend to use the United States Postal Service and will handle fulfillment myself. In the event of an unprecedented number of backers, I will search for a reputable partner to assist with fulfillment.

I can provide rough estimates for the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia but due to the volatile nature of shipping, these are subject to change will obviously vary depending on your location.

USA ~ $5.00 USD
CA ~$16.50 USD
UK ~ $19.50 USD
EU ~ $21 USD
AU ~ $21 USD

The projected fulfillment date is March 2025. I will post an update to notify backers in the event of any delays

This is my second crowdfunding campaign (the first being Suburbia: The Envy of A Million Spheres! on Kickstarter), so while not being a complete neophyte, the process is still fairly new to me. I have used BackerKit to collect shipping info and fees for Suburbia but this is my first time using this platform for the actual crowdfunding. As such, there's a bit of a learning curve as I familiarize myself with how it operates but I don't think that will have a major impact on backers.

The projected fulfillment date is March 2025. I will post updates on the project as they develop and will notify backers in the event of any unforeseen issues or delays.
