Update #1: Thanks for the help so far
Hello everyone,
I wanted to thank everyone for their help with the kiskckstart so far. With only 35 days to go we are already 43% funded with$3,774.1 of 8,700 (I know that one cent is going to throw us over the top).
Everyone who has already pledged can help me by spreading the word and talking about the kickstart on the various forums you visits. Also drop me a line and let me know of HELLAS talk I may not be aware of and I’ll drop in and participate in the conversation.
If you know someone who may be interested send them my way and I’ll personally evangelize about the book and the HELLAS world. There are also two threads that are dedicated to the Kickstart project that you can participate in.

Again if you know of any that I’m not aware of please let me know. Also, feel free to start a thread on your favorite forum if one doesn’t exist.
Since the initial push pledges have slowed down a bit and I want to stay on top of the project and keep the interest up. The $100 pledges went very fast and people have suggested I throw another premium offer up. I want to do something that has value but doesn’t disregard the generous pledges that have already been made. I’d like to know what you all think
First off, the idea is to do something for everyone that’s helping me without spending a lot of money or turning the kickstart into a swap meet. I don’t want to cheapen the experience and I want to offer something in thanks for the generous support everyone is providing.
So here are my ideas-
I could do another $100 pledge that includes everything in the $60 pledge plus the HELLAS graphic novel that I’m sitting on. The Graphic novel is planed to appear in the supplement Wine Dark Sea (I’m working on now) but I would be willing to give everyone who pledges a copy of the graphic novel months before it’s released. An uncolored sample can be found below.

I could do a vinyl map for a $140 pledge like the one in the following link http://www.hellasrpg.com/images/origins-thursday/booth2.jpg
If anyone has any suggestions of what I can do please don’t hesitate to contact me or post a comment at the kickstart site.
Again thank you for the help so far. I really appreciate what everyone has done and I’m grateful for your generosity

Nocture,
Thanks for the kind words. I translated the site and had a look around. The translations weren’t that good so the reading was a bit tough.
If there are any questions I can answer for you or your groups please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thank you for the support.
Tony,
Everyone who donates is cool.
In fact everyone who has pledged is on par with the guy in the link below

If there is an available email I can sent you a translated versioin of the basics (regarding ESPAIROS). Regarding my review it was nothing more than explaining the basics and that is OMNI, races and fluff.
