Our new Kickstarter Project is live! Please check out our new project page!

Thank you to everyone who backed our last attempt, we hope that you are still interested and able to back our project redo!

-Jes and Jere

Greetings everyone, this is Jeremiah again. I am writing to bring you all up to date on the events of the last few weeks.

Jes and I have been on an emotional roller coaster, one that has somewhat delayed our plans. Two weeks ago; we discovered that Jes was pregnant. Sadly, less than a week after we learned this, we had a miscarriage. This was devastating for us, as you can imagine, and has delayed some of our plans. Everything stopped while we made sure that Jes was healthy. Physically she is doing well, emotionally it will take some time for us to recover.

However, we are pulling ourselves up by our proverbial bootstraps and moving forward. We have the Kickstarter re-vamp almost ready to launch, we are submitting it for review as well as having several parties preview it to give us feedback. Our launch goal is Friday May 4th. Providing it doesn't take 5 days to get it approved, we will make that deadline.

I am also sending press releases to several newspapers in the hopes that they may be interested in our little project. I will also be attempting to get some form of news release to employees at Microsoft and Valve. We will also be utilizing Facebook Ads, don't be surprised if you don't see them though, I am targeting them at people who are not yet friends with our Facebook page. On that note, it would help us greatly if you would make sure that you have friended us on Facebook. 

Beyond that we have been working on our web presence. We now have a live website at: Gaslampcafe.com Please check it out! We have also decided to keep a blog on the website and will start posting there within the week.

Also, you can keep up to date with us on twitter at twitter.com/GaslampGameCafe

If you have any ideas for us to get more publicity, or other areas we might look to for interested individuals. Please let us know!

So we've been working with some people to get our rewards as ready-to-go as possible - and with only nine days left, it's getting down to the wire. So here are some photos to let you in on what we've been doing this whole time.

The dice, of course, come with every pledge of $10 or more - so pretty much everybody's getting 'em. We are so thrilled with how the black ink came out. The gold was a neat idea, but kinda hard to read.

The last photo is the prototype artwork for the Free Coffee For Life coin. We won't have an actual coin to show until later - die-setting fees and final proof artwork and so on... but this should give you some idea of what it'll be like.

Of course, these rewards only come to pass if we meet our goal - so tell everyone you know, spread the word, and let's see if we can make it!

Thanks -

Jes and Jere

(EDIT: Thank you, Mosaku, for being so quick to point out that the images weren't working! Derp!)

For those out there who want the tumbler and bag, but wouldn't know what to do with all the other stuff, I present our newest reward level: BUT I'M NOT A GAMER!

For $40, you can now get your choice of tumbler and messenger bag, tumbler plus a spare (in case the first one breaks down), or messenger bag plus a spare (in case you need to bribe a friend). No dice or other nerdy stuff to deal with.
