Closer by the day!
Hello backers! We are at that point in the campaign where the sound and fury of the beginning has died down, and we are waiting for the slings and arrows of the last 48 hours to begin. It's that time when shares, likes, and social media posts about the campaign are super duper important. We sincerely appreciate everyone out there who is continuing to mention the Kickstarter. It really is making a difference!
We have some really exciting changes to the campaign that we are announcing today for you all, so read on.
New add-ons!
That's right, we are going to be adding some cool new add-ons to the campaign. They will be live shortly after this message goes out so make sure you read it all the way to the end before trying to buy any of this stuff :)
Donated Copies If you know a school with a roleplaying game club, or a library who offers game space, we want to make it easier for you to send them a physical copy of the book! So, you can pick up an extra copy to send to them for the Early Bird price of $45! As a special thank you, the first ten people who donate a copy will also get....
Limited Edition Sigil Pin We want to make pins for this campaign, but to be honest making one for all nine sigils was just not going to happen because it was not cost effective. But, we were not to be deterred so we went to our Patreons with all nine sigils and asked them to pick their favorite from each artist. After they were done, we put out a poll for everyone on the internet to weigh on which sigil they would want on a limited edition pin that you will only be able to get through the Kickstarter. Once they are gone, they are gone forever. If you want your voice heard on which pin is your favorite, you can go here or reply to this update and we will tally your vote on Friday morning when we announce the winner. The pins will be $6 ($5+$1 for shipping).
Signed/Personalized Books This is one that just never dawned on us that people might want, be apparently you do because we have been asked about it a ton. So, we will personalize your book and sign it for you for $5. Patreon supporters who buy a physical copy of the book get this for free!
Changes to the retail tier The retail tier was something that we wanted all along because we wanted to support our friends who run FLGS throughout New England and beyond. After discussing with some of those friends, we realized that this tier just didn't make a lot of sense for them. So, we looked at the budget and we are dropping the price of this tier significantly. Now, you can get five books for only $149 which is a 40% discount, and retailers pay no shipping. The add-on for three additional books is now $89 and no shipping also.
So there you have it. i If you have other suggestions or things you would like us to try and put together for this campaign in the last two weeks, do not hestitate to reach out. This campaign is alive and well because of you, so let's work together to make it Legendary!
What else is coming up?
We have already appeared on several other shows to talk about this campaign, and I added those links to the front page earlier this week. We would love you to go check those out, because as podcasters we really appreciate the airtime they gave us to help us reach out to all of you.
But most excitedly, we are going to celebrate the end of our campaign with Geek and Greet from Fool's Moon on Monday, October 23rd at 8pm EST. You can find their Twitch Channel here. We would love it if you all came and celebrated with us on that night and gave us the chance to say thank you live for backing this campaign.
Last but not least
Just a final thank you to everyone. Last time we looked, the campaign was sitting around 78% funded with about $600 to go. That's incredible, and we are so honored that you chose to back this campaign. And we are so close to making it a reality! Don't forget the add-ons, they make a HUGE difference! You can still become an NPC in the book, or just add on the sticker pack. It all gets us that much closer to the goal, and we can not wait to share this content with you. Lewanika finished up the Soul Society a couple of days ago, and I have been reading through it. Y'all are REALLY gonna like this.
Until next week!
Josh, Glen, and Lewanika
