STRETCH GOAL #14 UNLOCKED
This adorable toy koala is a great companion for a camper on this dark night. Cuddle him close, close your eyes and hope the big bad Drop Bears are nothing but a myth. Sadly, we all know that's not the case.
Designer note: This toy Koala is based on a soft toy Koala one of my daughters had when she was younger. It was rather sentimental to include it in the artwork, but I couldn't resist upgrading it to an item so it gets noticed a bit more.
Loot cache.
I'd hardly call it "surviving" when we are carrying so much extra bagage.
Finally someone with some medical experience, we are saved, right?
----
Dawn has got to be near right? I swear I saw some colour on the horizon, dam these trees.
Ok, we really need to stick together. It seems the Drop Bears have been getting more and more active as the night goes on. I dread to think that things could possibly get worst.
APledge reminders: A reminder to those keen to upgrade now is the time. But also a reminder that whatever you pledge from a single dollaree doo all the way to the Glamper pledge, you, all of you, are helping the project come to life.
Camper for Ol’Bruce
Freebie for Ratcatcher backers (added during pledge manager)

Stretch Goal #13 - UNLOCKED!
A secure hiding hole for the campers to hide. It’s dank old and overgrown, but it’s got to be tough enough to repeal a drop bear, right? Now, does anyone know how the heck we are going to get the door open?
Loot Cache
So here is your collection of goodies! Remember there is also the extra camper now in the Ol'Bruce expansion also.
So, What's next?
Preview - Cute Toy
Something to cuddle on this dark night in the terror-filled bush. Maybe, just maybe you can get a bit of sleep.
Survival Expert Pledge - Clarification.
The pledge description on the pledge menu fails to list the inclusion of the Core set. This pledge choice is correctly priced and will reflect the correct content in the pledge manager if/when chosen.
Pledge content: Drop Bears Core Set + Ol'Bruce Expansion + Ancient Oonah Expansion.
As always if you have any questions please feel free to shot me an email or leave a comment.

Unlock #12 - Another camper joins the adventure
ADDED FREE TO THE OL'BRUCE EXPANSION
Welcome the Tabletop Gamer.
"I think I am the most useful person in the party. I have the mostXP with these sorts of situations. First, we must explore the map. Then, we search for useful items. This could be fun everyone! I know we can’t roll any dice or anything, but the strategy is the same. If we work together and no one plays alpha-gamer, I think we can win! Err I mean, survive this. Now, speaking of games… I brought a few along. Any takers? No? That’s fine, I’ll just play solo. Now, where did I put it … Holy moly! What the heck is that thing with my game, in its mouth!? It’s ok, no need to growl bush monster, you can keep that one…"

Stretch Goal #11 - UNLOCKED + Special Guest camper reveal
Not the tastiest option, but it contains everything that your body "needs" to survive. 2 copies of the Ration pack are now in every copy of Drop Bears. Thank you everyone.
Special Guest camper reveal.
You may recognise our next camper, Yes, its Jesse aka the Quackalope. Has always wanted to pop down under for a visit. It seems like his game filled holiday isn't quite going to plan. A huge thank you to Jesse and his Paddle for the support through the years.
This Camper will be included in the Ol'Bruce expansion only
And yes, there are even more stretch goals after the next goal. What could possibly be in the next batch?
Feature
Now some images by request. Please excuse my bad photography.
A scale shot of all the miniatures (so far ;) ) together.
Ok that is a long update for you all. So I'll leave it there. As above if you'd like to see or know anything, please just let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate.
Stretch Goal #10 - UNLOCKED! + Retailer Registration

Stretch Goal #10 - UNLOCKED!
The cream of the functional board game upgrades - The custom storage tray.
YES, The insert will hold sleeved cards. (tested using a variety of sleeve brands)
The expansions will NOT fit in the core box (Ol'bruce alone is massive!) but will likely end up with their very own inserts in each expansion.
The only unknown for the insert is if we can get the tree to be stored fully assembled. We are doing our best, but no promises at this stage.
There so much stuff in this backpack I might have to get rid of my jumbuck!
WHAT'S NEXT?
More food, warning it's not exactly fine dinning, but let's not get to fussy when trying to survive.
