Well, we're seven days away from the end of the crowdfunding period. It doesn't look like we're going to hit the $1 Billion stretch goal. But we are going to fund! When I launched this Kickstarter, I didn't expect to be launching it in the midst of the worst global pandemic since Spanish Flu, nor in the midst of the worst economic meltdown since the Great Depression.
If you're a backer, I want to make sure that everyone who is counting on stretch goals is rewarded for their pledge. Therefore:
1) I am updating the $30,000 stretch goal to include BOTH battlemaps rather than just one. If we hit $30K, we'll treat it as though we hit $40K, and all the way up the chain. (Technically if we hit $1M that means I have to become a crimefighter.)
2) Regardless of whether we hit anymore stretch goals at all, all backers at the $90 level and above will get an Exclusive 11" x 17" Special Edition poster of Aurora and Stiletto illustrated by Jinky Coronado. I'm incredibly thrilled to have Ms. Coronado working on this. A former FHM and calendar model, she is the creator/writer/artist of Banzai Girl, has illustrated such diverse projects as Avalon High and Exposure, and is a cover artist for Archie Comics.
You can see a sneak peek of the poster here:
