Look for another update from me in the next week or so with an unboxing of the hardcover proof! 

Thank you all again for your amazing support! I couldn't do this without you! <3

Wow!!! Thank you all so much for your amazing support! I was stunned by the launch and have been reeling since. We even surpassed the previous campaign!

What happens next?

Kickstarter will be processing the pledges and I'll be reaching out to everyone in the coming weeks with surveys so I know where to send your loot! I'll also be launching a BackerKit page to help me organize everyone's orders and allow anyone who missed the campaign to place orders for books!

Please let me know if I can answer any questions and again, thank you! <3

Six hours to go! MacGuffin book unlocked!
over 6 years ago – Wed, Nov 13, 2019 at 08:15:42 PM

We're in the home stretch! 

Just a few hours ago, we unlocked the MacGuffin book stretch goal which means that the prints will be upgraded to a 12-page book containing a selection of Archmage MacGuffin's Unknown Artifacts and Awful Obscurities.  I'm so excited for this! :) 

We're currently a bit short of the "Quimp meets Phosphene" bonus stretch goal but a lot can happen in six hours! In the previous campaign, we had people signing up until the very last minute. Fingers crossed!

Here's the shortened link if you'd like to share it: http://kck.st/35vRjo4

Thanks again for your amazing kindness and support!

ONE WEEK LEFT! New Stretch Goal Added! The drawing which became The Middle Age!
over 6 years ago – Fri, Nov 08, 2019 at 05:03:03 PM

As promised, a new stretch goal has been added! A print of the very first drawing which became The Middle Age.

(Not the final design for the print)

Back in 2015, I was planning out my next project - a fantasy story about a middle-aged knight. I sketched plenty of drawings of the knight who would become our hero along with the assorted characters and creatures he might face. Among the orcs, gnomes, and baby dragons, was the image above. I drew a knight facing off against a mighty dragon and, as an afterthought, I drew that word balloon with the heart in it.  

And that tiny heart grew into this story.

Thanks to everyone who responded and reached out with suggestions for stretch goals. So many good ideas and I'll try to find a way to use all of them - though the playing cards might be hard to do! :) Extra thanks to Patreon supporter Matthew for suggesting this particular idea.

I've made this stretch goal $22,000 or 500 backers. We seem to be on track for both and either one will do. I just really want to include this reward. :)

Thank you all again!
