...and we're also thrilled so many backers are selecting ADD-ONS for their pledge!
That's right... if you forgot to add any items to your pledge during the Kickstarter or have decided to upgrade your pledge, there are a wide variety of amazing add-ons to choose from including NEW ADD-ONS not included on the Kickstarter!
🤯BACKERKIT EXCLUSIVE: NEW LIMITED EDITION 10th Anniversary C is for Cthulhu T-Shirts for Young and Old Ones Alike!
As a special surprise, we've added new 10th Anniversary Limited Edition T-Shirts to our BackerKit PledgeManager as an Add-On ONLY Special!

FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING! There is no extra shipping charge for 10th Anniversary C is for Cthulhu Shirts, so we can share the Lovecraft worldwide on this item easily.
SHIRTS SHIP SEPARATELY! Because of where they're manufactured and how they are packaged, our shirt orders will ship separate from other products.
SHIRTS SHIP EARLY! Even better, you won't need to wait long to receive your 10th Anniversary Shirts! We will lock shirt orders in early May and then start shipping direct to backers in advance of the rest of the rewards that take longer to produce.
📋OUR FULL ADD-ON MENU
We appreciate all the additional add-ons and the promptness of survey completion!
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at ACCESSIBLE HERE.
NOTE: Known AppleID Issue with Backerkit, Here's How to Solve:
We've seen that some backers who pledge on Kickstarter using a private AppleID with Apple Pay have trouble accessing Backerkit because the email that gets passed to Kickstarter is a Private Relay email.
If that's you, usually the easiest way to fix is to message us with an alternate email address that we can use for your Backerkit Order. Message us if you're having issues!
And after you complete your survey, we'd love you to share your enthusiasm for the project on social with one click!
We love all 1,000+ of you who helped make this project possible.

P.S. Any questions or issues with the survey... please let us know!
Kickstarter Funds Collected! Surveys Coming Soon!
almost 2 years ago
– Wed, Apr 24, 2024 at 05:57:02 AM
Hey, C is for Cthulhu family! Hope you're enjoying the start of spring! We're pleased to report that Kickstarter has finished doing its thing collecting funding from our backers and those funds have just hit our accounts, allowing us to pay our vendors and get things moving on the fulfillment side for this project.
Unfortunately, we were sad to see that 43 backers' pledges were dropped as Kickstarter was unable to resolve their credit card charge issues. This amounts to over $5,000 in lost funding for the campaign, and was higher than anticipated, which does put a strain on the team.
However, any backers who were unable to get their cards fixed in time will have the opportunity to correct the issue when we send our Backerkit Survey.
And if you were hoping to add a few additional items to your pledge when you fill out the survey, you'll be able to do that too, which will help us earn back some of that dropped funding.
Before we can finalize our orders, we need to send out your shipping survey to get your shipping information, confirm any add-ons you may have pledged for during the campaign, and to collect "whole-order weight" shipping charges from international backers.
And even if you didn't select any of our fabulous add-ons during the Kickstarter campaign, you'll be able to upgrade your pledge or choose some ADD-ON EXTRAs when you fill out your survey as well!
Friday morning, The 10th Anniversary Campaign Survey, powered by Backerkit, will go out.
It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond.
Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys and get our final counts.
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account.
Also, because some items are limited, if you're late to filling out your survey, some of those EXTRAS may get snatched up... so we hope you'll fill it out as soon as it comes through!
Note: We will send the survey a bit earlier to a small % of randomly selected backers so that we can "smoke test" the survey to make sure it's operating as we expected. If you receive your surveys later today instead of Friday, we hope you'll also get them in ASAP so we can properly test the survey.
Did Your Pledge Get Dropped? Did You Make the Wrong Pledge?
Unfortunately, we were sad to see that 43 backers' pledges were dropped as Kickstarter was unable to resolve their credit card charge issues...
However, you will be able to fix this through the Backerkit Survey.
Also, if you made a mistake in your pledge and selected the wrong reward, you will be able to correct it when the survey comes.
Also, if you won an extra bonus from us by participating in one of our backer bonus games, those extras should already be populated in your Backerkit pledge manager.
SURVEY TUTORIAL & WALKTHROUGH
Here's a Tutorial Walkthrough Showing How Easy (and fun!) it Is to Complete Your Survey So We Can Ship Your Rewards!
Again, these surveys will start hitting your inbox for most backers on Friday morning. We'll follow up with more then. So keep an eye out for them!

P.S. There will be some special NEW BACKERKIT EXCLUSIVE Add-Ons available with your Shipping Survey... so be sure to review it carefully so as to not miss out on anything awesome!
That's a Wrap On Our 10th Anniversary Launch! Here's What Happens Next...
almost 2 years ago
– Mon, Apr 08, 2024 at 07:15:11 AM
Dear 10th Anniversary C is for Cthulhu Backer,
Thank you so much for sharing the Lovecraft once again with us and making our 10th Anniversary campaign a massive success! You've helped us bring an awesome new edition of the book that started it all and a bunch more great plush toys to life! We can't thank you enough for your support all these years!
In this update, we'll wrap up a few things from the campaign and share some details about what's up next with fulfillment.
Results of the Plush Poll:
Earlier in this campaign, it was pretty clear that Yog Sothoth, Dagon and Azathoth are among the leading contenders for C is for Cthulhu characters in need of the plush treatment. For the poll, we wanted to do a temperature check on a few other characters, to see the relative popularity of a few others:
As you can see, there was a clear choice among these three... though strong opinions and cases made for each of them. We appreciate all the ideas submitted, and your enthusiasm for seeing even more characters in plush format makes us excited to expand this line even further!
Congrats to Susan McElroy, who was selected at random from backers who submitted votes to be our poll bonus winner! (We'll contact Susan to see what she'd like as her prize through a direct message.)
We also want to shout out our final Social Share winner Christopher Kier Conroy, who shared our project down the home stretch on Facebook:
Thank to Christopher and all of you who helped beat this drum all campaign long!
Next Stop: Fulfillment!
Right now, we at the start of the two week funds hold freeze, where Kickstarter does its thing to collects and processes all of the pledges on our behalf.
As of right now, 91.1% of pledges were successfully collected over the weekend (yay!)
However, that still means that a big crew of 92 BACKERS' pledges did not go through (yikes!)
If your pledge was not collected, this probably means that your credit card on file with Kickstarter has expired.
You should log into your Kickstarter account to fix it, otherwise, your rewards may be delayed or canceled.
Backers with errored pledges will have until 4/14/24 to fix their pledges on Kickstarter to avoid them being dropped.
We expect the Kickstarter funds to be distributed to us on or around April 20, 2024, as it always takes Kickstarter at least two weeks to transfer funds to project creators bank accounts.
In the meantime, we're going to be tallying up preliminary order counts to get our large order with our plush manufacturer in, so that we can get the production team rolling soon, as well as putting the finishing touches on the new hardcover so we can get it off to the printer.
PLEDGE MANAGEMENT & SHIPPING SURVEYS
You can expect a SHIPPING SURVEY to be sent out to you later this month, after all the pledges have been collected. Your Shipping Surveys and pledge management will be handled by BACKERKIT, which will be an essential tool for a campaign this big. With it, you'll be able to:
1: Tell us where to ship your goods.
2: Let you confirm your pledge level and add-ons selected during the campaign.
3: Let us collect for INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING which was not charged during this campaign, and instead will be calculated based on total order weight and charged through Backerkit. (US shipping is free and was included in your pledge.)
4: Let you make any corrections or changes or add-ons to your order BEFORE we ship it out to you.
So you can finalize and add on until your order is PERFECT.
And who knows... we might even have a few EXTRAS not included in the campaign available for you to add to your order before you finalize it!
Stay tuned!
Know that we're thrilled to be able to keep making all of this great new stuff for you!
If you have individual questions about your order, the best thing to do is to message us through Kickstarter and we'll answer them as soon as we can.

You Asked For It... Now It's Here! New NECRONOMICON PLUSH 📖☠️
Hey, friends, we're so excited! As you know, we've been hard at work behind the scenes working on our SECRET new plush that we've held back in the wings, should this campaign hit a certain level of funding... Last week, we let you know that we've been working on a new STANDALONE, BIG Necronomicon Plush Toy, loaded with special features.
Our team has been working over the weekend, and we finally received some updated pics showing off our new creation. Here's what we've made for you...
The New N is for Necronomicon Plush
Introducing the new, BIG Necronomicon plush: cuddly, eldritch, and adorably ominous! With with an ALL-SEEING EYE on the front and including lots of cool features and details, this plush is perfect for aspiring cultists or Lovecraft enthusiasts looking to snuggle up with some forbidden knowledge.
Just be careful not to summon any Elder Gods during playtime when you add this BIG plush brought to life from the pages of C is for Cthulhu: The Lovecraft Alphabet Book.
Necronomicon Plush Product Details
Our enigmatic new NECRONOMICON is made with the same super-soft premium fabric that you’ve come to expect from our C is for Cthulhu Plush Toys, but is loaded with features for multiple use cases!
This Plush can function as a decorative throw pillow, worthy of a place in Lovecraft’s own living room!
Features an removable ALL-SEEING OPEN EYE that can be swapped out for a CLOSED EYE, because even the Book of the Dead needs sleep!
Features lots of embroidered details, including a skull on the cover, NECRONOMICON stitched on the spine, and Cthulhu icon on the back.
A Decorative Plush LOCK just like the one in the book holds the secrets inside securely in place!
Be extra careful when you unzip out Necronomicon to open it, revealing a set of chomping TEETH and a TONGUE (that doubles as a book ribbon!)
With a large interior, our Necronomicon Plush can be used to hold your C is for Cthulhu Books or stuff with a few plush toys to make it extra plump!
Our Necronomicon Plush is 13 inches tall, 12 inches wide and roughly 9 inches thick, and weighs 15 oz.
Child safety tested and certified.
The perfect gift for Lovecraft fans of all ages, especially lovers of H.P. Lovecraft's stories "The Hound" and fans of “Evil Dead.”
