Hey everyone,
We’ve got big news, and we want to take the time to walk you through what’s happening and what you can expect next.
After much reflection, both Hit Point Press and Dave have mutually agreed that the integrity of Badge Quest as it was originally intended should be preserved, and that the best path towards making that happen is to return it to Dave.
This means that, going forward, Hit Point Press will no longer be involved in creation, delivery, or backer support. Additionally, they will not be retaining any customer information—no email addresses or other data are being kept. Everything is being passed back to Dave.
So what now, and when?
Going forward, Dave will be taking the lead on full completion and delivery. The vision remains the same—he’s committed to bringing you the product exactly as originally described. That said, we want to be transparent: Things will move slowly. This transition is a big one, and it’s going to take time to rebuild momentum. For that reason, we won’t be setting or providing specific delivery dates. Instead, we’ll keep you updated whenever there’s meaningful progress to share.
What products are coming next? Minis have been manufactured! They’re currently sitting in a US warehouse, ready to ship - we’re just waiting on patches and badges to go out with them. Quickstart guides are also complete, so we’ll kick off the next phase by getting those into your hands!
One final note going forward: We won’t be processing any refunds from this point on. The focus now is on fulfilling the project and getting products into backers’ hands. We understand that’s a big ask, especially after everything this project has been through, and we truly appreciate the trust you're continuing to place in us.
We know this journey hasn’t been straightforward. There have been twists and turns, and we understand how frustrating and confusing that’s been. Your continued support and patience through it all means more than we can say. Seriously—thank you.
If you have any questions or concerns about anything, I’m here to help. You can reach me directly via email at [email protected], or DM us here. As part of this transition, Dave’s presence on Discord will be limited, so email and Kickstarter messages will be the two primary methods for communication going forward. If you’d still like to join the community, use https://discord.gg/awuP6eDj.
Thanks again for being here with us. More updates soon. — Aubrey, CS

Dear Badge Quest Backers,
We hope this message finds you safe and healthy. We have some important news to share with you: Hit Point Press, the publisher behind games such as Humblewood, and The Field Guide to Floral Dragonshas recently acquired the intellectual property of Badge Quest from DMDave.
Regrettably, as DMDave announced, he will no longer be delivering his Kickstarter campaign for Badge Quest. We understand how disappointing this news is, but we at Hit Point Press look forward to moving ahead with our version of Badge Quest. Though it may look different to the products you originally backed for, Dave will still be retained as a writer and we are committed to delivering a quality game with the vibrant world of Badge Quest.
We appreciate your support and understanding as we undertake the development of Badge Quest, its supplements, and its accessories. This means that there will be a delay as we work to create a quality game. Hit Point Press has a proven track record of delivering outstanding, award-winning games, and we are excited to move forward with this project under a new creative vision.
To thank you for your support of the original campaign, we are offering you a gift of equivalent value of what you pledged for in the BadgeQuest Kickstarter/Backerkit.
If you’re interested in this offer, we require that you opt-in to our Badge Quest mailing list (link below).
The form needs to be filled out so we can receive consent to send you potential project updates and coordinate your gift. You will NOT be opted into our regular newsletter unless you choose to do so separately.
Once we have your information, Hit Point Press will create your order in our system to indicate that you are part of the new Hit Point Press Badge Quest project and are eligible to receive the gift equivalent of what you originally backed for. Please note, this offer is not a settlement taken on behalf of DM Dave – it is simply a gift from Hit Point Press as a gesture of goodwill.
Thank you,
The Hit Point Press Team
In an effort to streamline this process for all DM Dave backers, and to answer some of the questions that may arise, please read below.
Hit Point Press is committed to produce every single item that was promised by DM Dave in this campaign. But the nature of Hit Point Press’s completion of the project will mean that some items may be different than advertised, be that through art, content, packaging etc.
Our goal is to add value and produce a product to the standards of any Hit Point Press project, without adding cost to you the backer.
Additionally if you’ve paid for any add-ons or shipping in Backerkit, Hit Point Press will not be asking for additional compensation to fulfill your project. If you’ve yet to pay for those additional items, we will still be collecting that before fulfillment.
Please note, VATs will not be covered.
TLDR: You will receive all items you backed for
Hit Point Press is a tabletop roleplaying game publisher and accessory company based in Canada. We are best known for creating third-party Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering products.
Our goal is to bring things to market that we as players of these games would love, from campaigns such as Humblewood to the Field Guide to Floral Dragons..
No. DM Dave is retained on the project for drafting the first iteration of the game and related material, but Hit Point Press has acquired the Badge Quest IP in its entirety.
No, Hit Point Press will not be taking over the Kickstarter project for Badge Quest.
We don’t have a complete list of changes yet, as we are early on in development. We are committed to releasing a Badge Quest game that aligns with the vision and values of the original, while ensuring a quality final product.
All paid Badge Quest Kickstarter backers and BackerKit preorders have the option to receive a gift equal to what they originally pledged for, including stretch goals and accessories.
If you don't opt in, Hit Point Press will not be able to collect your information to send your gift to you when the project is complete.
Fill out the following form: BADGE QUEST MAILING LIST
When you receive instructions on how to get your gift, there will be a cut-off date for responses clearly indicated. Make sure you get your response in before the cut-off date of March 31, 2025.
Third-party charges will be payable via a service like BackerKit. Hit Point Press will not be collecting fees for backers who have already paid for add-ons and shipping. Those who have yet to pay for add-ons and shipping and will still need to do so.
There are no plans for the products seen in the original DM Dave campaign to be released.
We are early in development and we don’t have solid estimates at this time.
