Thank you for your amazing support! Nearly 300 supporters have signed up and three stretch goals have been unlocked and there are still 19 days left in the campaign! 

A new stretch goal?

As a number of supporters have suggested, the incredible start for this campaign means we're on track to exceed the final stretch goal and I should think about adding another stretch goal! What should it be? I'm open to suggestions! You can send me a message or comment below.

Baltimore Comic-Con Report

I had a fantastic time at the Baltimore Comic-Con over the weekend. The highlights:

  • The Middle Age was everywhere: the program book cover, the official t-shirt, and even the entrance graphics!
  • I didn't win the Ringo Award for 'Best Colorist' (still an honor to be nominated)!
  • I saw many of my kind Kickstarter and Patreon supporters!
  • The Webcomics panel was great! (I'll be sure to share a link to audio when it's available).

Check out the full, photo-filled report here.

Speaking of Patreon...

I've added a bonus reward for everyone who is both a Kickstarter AND a Patreon supporter. Every Kickstarter supporter at the $25 level and above who is also a Patreon supporter (at any level), will get a solid metal, lapel pin featuring our hero's logo added to the package. (I can afford to do this since I'm already mailing you something and the pins don't weigh all that much).

You can sign up to become a Patreon supporter and get the pin added to your loot here: https://www.patreon.com/steveconley

Thanks again and please let me know your ideas for another stretch goal! :) 

Your support means the world to me and I just can't thank you enough!

I'm overwhelmed by the response! Thank you all so much for your amazing support and for helping to spread the word! 

Backer snon asked about the new pins, the "Maledicta Quotes" Enamel Pin Set! These are a set of three enamel pins with quotes from everyone's favorite cursed sword, Maledicta the Blade of Woe... 

Please note that these designs are close but not final as there's always back-and-forth with the manufacturer.

Thank you all again! I'm stunned! :D

We're funded in just under seven hours!

I ended up cutting this social-media video short because I was laughing at one of my dumb cats but the message holds! :)  You can see why I don't include my face and voice in the Kickstarter trailers. :D

Thank you all so much!!!

On to the stretch goals!

Thank you all so much for this amazing start! 

After just a few hours, we're more than half-way to the goal! 

Some have asked for a larger look at the "MacGuffins." The hero in our story has a complete set of these "Collectible Trading Parchments." Here's a look at one of my favorites... 

One of "Archmage MacGuffin's Unknown Artifacts and Awful Obscurities" collectible trading parchments

This is a wonderful start! I can't thank you enough!
