New $2,700 Mini-Stretch Goal!

Update #8 · Jul 8, 2012 · comment

Today has been phenomenal, folks. Waking up to notification that we'd been fully funded was stupefying, and since then, we've reached well over $2,300 with 63 hours still to go.

Which brings me to my point: if current trends continue, I don't see us being able to make the $4,000 or $6,000 stretch goals to flesh out the rest of the series. Cue the sad trombones, please.

That said, there's still hope! Thanks to...The New $2,700 Mini-Stretch Goal!

That's right, folks. If we can raise another $375 in the next 60-odd hours, we'll be able to pay for cover art for both sequels to Birthright. Yep! If we can reach $2,700 total funding, we'll be able to get both Lineage and Legacy super-awesome cover art to match Falon's beautiful interpretation of Ceril's Flameblade. Wouldn't that be awesome!

Yes! Yes, it would!

What's in it for me?

Glad you asked, Backer McBackerpants! If we reach The New $2,700 Mini-Stretch Goal, I will mail each backer--yes, every single one of you--an oversized, signed, and personalized card printed with all three covers from The Technomage Archive.

We're so close, folks. We're $375 from that point as I write this. Which means there's still a good way to go, but it's doable. It's definitely doable.

So what do you say? Help reach The New $2,700 Mini-Stretch Goal and get yourself an autographed print of the covers while you're at it!

So what are you waiting on? Let's do this!
