It was lovely to wake up this morning to see that you have all helped us pass another stretch goal, unlocking the set of Sam Lenz artcards as an Add-on. To add this set and/or Josua's set of artcards to your pledge, you can simply increase your pledge total by the appropriate amount and when we open the BackerKit pledge manager after the campaign you'll be able to spend that credit on the artcards of your choice.
Next up? The second quality upgrade for the books, taking us from the lovely 130gsm Mulitisilk paper to a 150gsm Multisilk coated paper. A subtle but solid upgrade.
Then, Josua Lai will be providing us with a step-by-step, PDF tutorial on creating a frozen lake base for your miniatures. Reaching that goal unlocks it for ALL backers!
Slipcases!
A number of folks have asked the question about the slipcase for these three volumes. I'll be spending today sorting out the graphics for the stretch goal, which is just around the corner.
"Why didn't you have it from the start, Dave?" Good question. Slipcases are surprisingly expensive to produce. Apart from the diecut card that forms the structure, and the printed paper exterior, everything else is painstakingly hand-assembled. Depending on the quantity ordered, they can sometimes be more expensive to produce than the books slipped inside.
It is important, from a financial stability standpoint, that we make sure the campaign is on a stable footing before we make them available so that we can avoid any terrible situations where our commitment to create them takes payment away from the authors or something similar. I am hoping that as the awareness and popularity of this series continues to grow (thanks in no small part to the word-of-mouth promotion from supporters like yourselves) we'll be able to get to a point where we can offer them up front, from the start. Until then, we'll keep putting our faith in you fine people, just as you put your faith in us.
Thank you, all!
Cheers
Dave (and Roman and Sam and Josua)
