The Yarn Hoarder has officially joined the pack! The stash can never be large enough, because what if this is a really cold winter and the entire pack needs new tail warmers! Huh, socks? What are those?!

a drawing of a kobold in a jumper, holding up some yarn balls. They're wearing a knitted sock on one foot, another sock-like object dangling from their tail as well. The text on the image reads: The yarn hoarder. Oh go on then... just one more. The stash, it hungers.

Now to have a look at the next Kobold Collection: Moss In this particular case it's a mossy boulder which comes as a bonded pair that shouldn't be separated. And before you ask, the kobold sort their moss by sound (the moss whispers to them, so they claim, it's best not to question these things).

We hit 3k on the campaign which means a new friend is joining! They love fibre crafts, making sure the entire pack stays nice and warm during the colder months, but when it comes to socks they don't seem to quite understand where to put them...

With the pin campaign now live, let’s have a look at all the kobolds and their chosen pieces of hoard. First up we have with a commonly seen kobold collection: gems. This friend here is showing off a particularly large gem that according to them ‘has that good mouth feel that can’t be beat’.

Pssst, I've created the pre-launch page for these enamel pins (and stickers). Please consider signing up for the campaign if you're interested in these pins (it's a huge help)! You can find it over here: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

A banner graphic featuring various kobolds as well as a dragon, showing off items from their hoard. One kobold is hugging a giant mossy rock, another kobold is chewing a giant gem, then there's one holding a giant dragon plush and the final kobold is stacking a pile of spoons with one spork sticking out of the pile. The dragon is seen holding an armful of kobolds in all sorts of colours.

It'll do. Background will be holo so that should help with the readability, some tweaks will still happen. This was just supposed to be a silly little thing I did as a joke card so this will be good enough.

Antisocial is not limited to that but can also be used as 'averse to the society of others'. It's even listed as a synonym under asocial

Let's have a look at all the individual gnoll pins of the current Gnollsome Adventures Kickstarter starting with this very learned fella. Pins not your thing? You can also get them all as stickers!

a mock-up image of an enamel pin featuring a gnoll donning a giant wizard's hat. They're flopped onto their belly, reading a book. They're kicking one of their little back legs up, clearly focusing hard as they have a tiny bit of tongue sticking out of their mouth.

Due to smashing the funding goal there's an additional pin design available! It's not a special add-on only pin, so you can simply pick it as one of your pin choices, but if you'd like to grab an extra pin you can do so via the add-ons!

Holy heck everyone, your support for the campaign has been amazing so far - we're so well funded that I'll be adding another pin design in the next couple of days feating a little aardgnoll who / they swear/ traded for those wares.

They sent this sample to be finished (accidentally) but hey, finished pin sneak peek rather than just a raw cast sample is exciting!
