Update #16: Big update coming soon!
Hi, everyone! Sorry I haven't been in touch. But until I can post some more infor later tonight, I'll give you guys the run-down.
One hundred pages of Poorcraft are currently completed. This means the book is now, not counting the cover, five-sixths done. Diana is doing a great job.
Copies of Poorcraft WILL definitely be available to people who missed out on the pre-orders! More on that later.
And, finally, if you have moved or otherwise changed address since completion of the pre-order project, We'll be taking care of that when the finished books arrive.
ETA until copies in hand? Oh, I'd give it two months, maybe three.
We're almost there. :D Thanks for understanding, everyone!
Update #15: Did you buy a cameo in Poorcraft? This is kinda what it'll look like!

Update #10: "Will I be able to buy a copy of Poorcraft if I missed the pledge deadline?"
YES! Absolutely!
I've gotten this question a number of times, so I've decided to expedite replies by answering it here. YES, copies of Poorcraft will be available to people who did not participate in the Poorcraft Kickstart. However, unlike the copies those who pre-ordered the bool will receive, the non-pledge books will not be signed or sketched in, and will go out only after everyone who pre-ordered Poorcraft gets theirs.
Them's the breaks! Keep watching this spot for updates.

I'm living in Canada, and I pledged $10. I only just now saw the message about adding on $3 for shipping! Is there any way I can get that to you guys, now?

Hi Spike,
Please can you post an update for people who can't see the Backer Only quotes - just saying how things are going?
Kind regards,

Update #7: Winding Down: A Thank You, And A Contest!
Hi everybody!
Well, we did it. Poorcraft is funded, WAY funded! And the book is in production; Scripts are written or being written, and pages are being penciled, on their way to ink. We've got several months ahead of us of production, but Diana and I had a talk last night, and we wanted to show our appreciation for the amazing support this project's received.
So, Diana's agreed to give away a deluxe, full-color art commission!
If you've already pledged to Poorcraft, your name's already in the hat. If not, well- why not pledge? You'll get a great book, behind-the-scenes updates, AND a chance to win some beautiful art!
I've attached some examples of Diana's art when she's not drawing in the stripped-down, Poorcraft style. She's an incredible skilled and very versatile artist.
Need a drawing of your RPG character? A portrait of your spouse? A tattoo design? Some concept art? Diana's got you covered. And she wants to draw for you.
We'll pick a winner after the Poorcraft project concludes, on December 20th. Pledge now to be included!
Can Poorcraft get to 200% funded? Probably not! But if it does, I'll throw in a commission, too.

Connected as C. Spike Trotman (755 friends)
I'm Spike. I was born in DC, grew up in MD, and live in IL. I draw all day.
Likes: Squid-based snacks, video games, buskers, jump blues, hairless dogs, balls-to-the-wall indie anything, and NPR.
Dislikes: Marzipan, particle board, and licensed property LEGO sets.
My primary project is a comic called "Templar, Arizona." It's an alternate history slice-of-life story. I bet you'd like it.
Very cool! I can't wait until the books are in my happy, little hands
This is a really important work you are creating, given the current political climate. 98% of the country is poorer than ever before, while CEOs rake it in and send our $$ overseas. I hope you can get some media coverage of the book when it is released!
ooh, did I miss the big update?
