Hello! Welcome to the Kickstarter for Knights-Errant: Volume 1.

00:00:07.783 --> 00:00:12.339
I’m Jennifer Doyle. My webcomic, Knights-Errant, has been running online for the past five years...

00:00:12.551 --> 00:00:17.431
...through a few different homes and in a few different incarnations, but always with the same key story.

00:00:17.908 --> 00:00:23.467
It’s a dark comedy about a secretive thief named Wilfrid who’s seeking revenge - and no one knows for what!

00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:30.719
When Wil gets involved in the power struggles between a royal family and the rogue Margrave of a valued border town,

00:00:30.890 --> 00:00:38.371
alliances get murky, and Wil develops an...interest in a young captain named Oswald, who’s hiding secrets of his own.

00:00:39.109 --> 00:00:44.293
Long story short, Wil’s little quest for revenge grows more complicated and bloodier by the day.

00:00:45.329 --> 00:00:50.091
Knights-Errant focuses on the messy relationships between gender, race, religion, and politics

00:00:50.472 --> 00:00:55.212
and has sprawled into an unhinged epic driven by a vagabond with a literal axe to grind.

00:00:55.820 --> 00:01:00.231
If you want to see it for yourself, you can read it online right now at sparklermonthly.com.

00:01:01.418 --> 00:01:08.498
This series has never been in print, so for this Kickstarter, we’re trying to fund the very first book: Volume 1, collecting Chapters 1-3.

00:01:10.081 --> 00:01:14.542
The book will be full-color and produced by Sparkler Monthly, the digital magazine that runs Knights-Errant.

00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:20.069
Some of you may remember the original version of Knights-Errant. Well, this is the reboot I started a couple years ago,

00:01:20.209 --> 00:01:23.671
then called Pavane, so it’s my most polished version of the story yet.

00:01:24.578 --> 00:01:27.769
I'm also using the Kickstarter to release new Knights-Errant merchandise:

00:01:27.918 --> 00:01:29.918
Both the cute...and the ridiculous.

00:01:30.289 --> 00:01:34.019
In addition, I'll be doing some specialty commissions for the hardcore fans.

00:01:34.808 --> 00:01:38.313
This book has been a long time coming, and I hope you’ll join me and become a part of it.

00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:41.239
Thank you so much for your support!
