      @Sara, I've sent out two updates talking about the books being pushed back to June/July. The entire 88 page book plus the 22 page stretch goal really created a big workload. We're working on it as quickly as we can while making sure our end product will be of high quality.

      Hey, any update on when everything will be ready? :)

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on February 5

      @Jenna, I'm sorry for the delay but as I said in the update, with added work in the stretch goal, an already tight deadline for the book and the lack of being able to bring another artist on board, we had to push the date out. Unfortunately this affects everything, including the rewards as we can't afford to send out rewards as a separate shipment than the books. Again, I apologize for the delay but we're working hard to make sure everything is the highest quality for when you do finally receive it.

      Hi, I was wondering about your latest update; One of the reasons I backed this was to get the miniature figurine by at least March. This is because I was planning on giving the figurine as a b-day present early April. Thanks.

      @Connie, The $40 level was for people who wanted the hardcover edition of the book without the extra rewards. That's why it was listed as "Exclusive" and listed everything it came with. If you'd have pledged $30 you would get a softcover edition of the book and the t-shirt. HC editions of books are much more expensive to produce. Sorry for the confusion.

    6. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Connie Dupuis on January 17

      $40 level should include tshirt because under rewards it says for pledges above $30, or I would have just pledged $30.

      I see that you tried this campaign once before this one and it failed. Can I ask what you did differently to make this one a success?

    11. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 17, 2012

      Thank you so much! It just goes to show, the only way you can truly fail is by giving up. Setbacks always will exist!

      Creator S.D. on October 17, 2012

      Great to see so many friends here, from adventure game Kickstarter projects! Hello, friends :-)

      @Bryan: Isn't it interesting to note that your exclusive hardcover tier, by itself, exceeded the original funding target? It goes to show that people enjoy nice, high quality things, intriguing storytelling, and are willing to pay for it. Only lately have I heard of your recent setbacks, and I'm firmly in the "don't give up, Bryan!!" camp. I'd love to see this project blossom into a "new lease on life" for your team. I'd like to extend a genuine, hearty & heart-felt, congratulations to you on this book & soundtrack, as a fan from the community you're most associated-with (*hint* *hint*). Best of luck to you, and a *wink* *wink* back to you, regarding the juicy tidbits dispensed in the update comments...

      @TheChosenOne, Thanks for that advice! That's what we'll do :)

      Creator TheChosenOne on October 17, 2012

      There. Added a T-shirt last minute.
      -
      I would advice doing the survey as late as possible (best way to counter people moving) a little while before you start to ship stuff. Sometimes people do the survey a day after it has ended but don't ship for many months.
      I'd also would add a line/question in the survey asking people if they have added extra $ for any addons like T-shirts.

    17. Untitled-1_9f99.small

      Creator TheChosenOne on October 17, 2012

      Oh no I never had to resort to such measures but I have backed a few projects here and there and picked some things up.

      Well, I won't be here for the final seconds, so I'm saying this now...

      I'm so happy for you guys, excellent campaign here!
      Also I'm happy to be a small part of it.
      Thanks and cheers to Bryan and Simon!

      Thanks.

      Nah, I am just pledging on other projects, that's all.

      poopy, I suppose I have to settle for "the Red Queen of Oz" P&C adventure game then :P

    22. Untitled-1_9f99.small

      Creator TheChosenOne on October 17, 2012

      If you really are so low on cash I'd advice against spending it in the first place but if have to do it you can pledge for the amount you want and let the pledge fail. You have 7 days after that to fix any problems.

    23. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 17, 2012

      @Warrick, I wish I could! But sorry, we're down to the last hour and the chess set is something we can only offer in the top tier :(

    24. Chadwsmith.small

      Creator Chad Smith on October 17, 2012

      More than 5 times the number of backers, more than 4 times the amount pledged, and you asked for half as much.

      I'm happy that you kept pushing for this project, and excited to see the results! Congrats Bryan & Simon!

    25. Image-251540-full.small

      Creator Warrick on October 17, 2012

      I would love to change my Pledge to the 32 piece chess set or have the option to get the chess set, only if this campaign went for another few days. Can you extend it? :P

    26. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 17, 2012

      @Warrick, We've honestly not planned for anything beyond the KS campaign. It's something we'd have to consider...
      @Monty, Thank you very much!

      after this ends will you still have a way people can buy extra items, eg t-shirts miniatures, plush Cheshire, statue Cheshire?

    29. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 16, 2012

      @Gabriel, Our print quality is already excellent from the prototype book we've received. Both the $15 and $25 are softcovers, all softcover editions of the books are the same.

      Creator Gabriel Meunier on October 16, 2012

      @Bryan
      What about better printing quality at $20k ???

      Also, is there a difference between the books at $15 and $25 tiers?

    31. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 16, 2012

      @Malik, That is correct :)

      @TheChosenOne, I don't know who these people are, but anyone with a little Kickstarter experience would have imagined they'd cross $3M. I thought they'd be closer to $4M, which I don't think can happen, but I'm not surprised by what they managed to get.

    33. Foto_(5).small

      Creator Dheyrdre Machado on October 16, 2012

      Wow!!!
      More than 17k and 27 hours to go.
      That's excellent guys, congratulations again ;D

      People thought PE (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidian/project-eternity'; would have a really really hard time to even get to/near 3 mil. Now they are breaching 3.5k and that is without another 100k from paypal.

      (ofcourse I already called that about a month ago ;) )

      Creator Malik M.L. Williams on October 15, 2012

      Okay, that hardcover has been calling my name all along. But so has the t-shirt. Just upped to the $40.00 Hardcover Exclusive Tier and added $15.00 on top to get both. Did I do that right? (I know, I'm a bit of a dimglow.)

    38. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 15, 2012

      The hardcover is a special edition with 20 extra pages of behind the scenes art and story ideas :)

    39. Foto_(5).small

      Creator Dheyrdre Machado on October 15, 2012

      @Bryan

      Sorry for the question, it's probably a dumb one. I missed, why the softcover has less pages than the hardcover?

    40. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 15, 2012

      Hey Jeremy, thank you! Yes, it does :)

      Creator Jeremy D. Smith on October 15, 2012

      Congratulations on such great success with the funding, and I'm glad to hear you'll take the time to get the project done right!

      Also, I just wanted to verify: since the $40 level is an "exclusive" tier due to having the hardcover limited edition, does it also come with the cheshire cat plush?

    42. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 15, 2012

      @Warrick, That is correct!

    43. Image-251540-full.small

      Creator Warrick on October 15, 2012

      With the $350 tier do you recieving everthing in all the pervious tiers (except exclusive tiers- ) even an extra miniature?

    44. Image-251540-full.small

      Creator Warrick on October 15, 2012

      In the world of publishing Deadlines are everthing. That is the good thing about Kickstarter, the people who put money into the project are the fans and fans would rather quality than speed, and the fans are not as demanding because money is not what motivates us for this to be Successful.

    45. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 15, 2012

      Again, you're right on! It will be done right, even if it is late. But bringing others in to help get it done to the best quality fastest is ideal :)

      If we're fortunate to hit something crazy like $20,000 there's no doubt we'll find a way to expand the books as a thank you. I didn't think we'd even come this far so it's been a crazy ride!

    46. Untitled-1_9f99.small

      Creator TheChosenOne on October 15, 2012

      I could care less about making a deadline, better have it done right then quick. And so far pretty much everyone agrees with that.
      Though if we breach 18-20k we could have maybe have a few more pages of art/info stuff AND extra people to stay on schedule. Reminder e-mails should be going out any second now so hopefully some people will pledge following that.

    47. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Bryan Wiegele & Simon Rosati on October 15, 2012

      You pretty much hit bullseye there. Whatever money we're making past our final stretch goal is now going towards the ability to hire in additional talent to help us deliver the final book as close to our initial February date as possible. From two 44-page comic books to a 110-page softcover and 130-page hardcover, we certainly have more work cut out for us! It's awesome :)

      Creator TheChosenOne on October 15, 2012

      Better to make playing cards a seperate add-on if it comes. Making a new reward available for all backers is not very cost effective, let alone the extra shipping.

      That said I'm not fan any non book extra's but thats me. Think a poll/survey might be in order to see what people actually want/desire. The big spike at the end start to come after the 48 hour mark so 20k is certainly still possible.
