Update #1: New rewards categories

Posted on January 11

Dear "Gods and Kings" backers,

Happy 2012! Many thanks to all of you for your support. We feel the love, but we still have a long way to go in 20 short days to make our fundraising goal, and to help with this we've added several new reward categories, including the actual fiberglass Disfraz masks featured in the film.

Please take a moment to look at the new categories and spread the word to friends, family and coworkers. Together, we can make this happen!

While we are unable to edit the description of rewards that have already been chosen, we'd like to make one correction. The reward for the #250 category now includes "all of the above", not just rewards #1 and #2, a change that affects past pledgers as well as future ones.

All the best,

Robin
