      All - I'm sure most of you are aware now, but if you want to contact me or stay in touch re: progress etc please go to www.elitereclamation.co.uk - I won't be monitoring this page on a regular basis now, so that website is where it will all happen. I will post update notifications via KS when I add new content. Cheers, Drew.

      @Drew
      I've been lucky enough to see the end of every E:d related Kickstarter to date.
      I certainly wasn't going to miss this, the original and, I'm hoping, no expecting, the best!!!

    28. Neworder30.small

      Creator Rorschach on January 3

      Less than 10 minutes to go until the KS deadline and despite some of the early, ahem, 'reservations' you've achieved 150% of your pledge target. Congratulations on an extremely well run and successful campaign!

      I'm very much looking forward to tracking your progress with Reclamation, as I get through the rest of your Oolite saga.

      Bravo, sir!

      @Drew Wagar, Just watched a small amount of your last kickstater video before I realised it was about to reveal to plot to Finis which I'm in the midst of reading:-) (not getting through it to quickly as I keep getting distracted by the wonderfull feeling of Euphoria in seeing these projects bolt over the finish line).

      My heart felt congratulations on the success of the kickstarter, I've enjoyed following your continued efforts, nice to see your website up there and wish you continued success in your endeavors.

      @All - Thanks for the good wishes! Will be offline for a bit (commute/tea/kids in bed) and then online to see this across the finish line - hopefully some of you will be about for this! :)
