Thanks and Amen

.... And that's it!

Kickstarter campaign done.

Firstly, I want to thank everyone who pledged for their support. 

This project has been almost two years in the making. (It all began with St George on April 23rd 2021) It's grown to be an increasingly constant part of my life over that time to the crazy crescendo of creating a  Kickstarter for the first time. Many of you have been right there from the beginning and I've been surprised and humbled by your continued support and interest in my artwork.  

I also want to give a huge thanks to Jon at Handiwork Games.  For without his invaluable knowledge and expertise, I'd be hopelessly flailing around to make this campaign work as well it has.

We'll be back soon with more progress updates on getting the physical copies of the book to you.

You're all awesome.

Thank you!

Amen

Hi Folks,

Thanks very much for your support so far and welcome to the new backers.

With just a little over 24 hours left to go, here is the final preview of a previously unseen RPG Saint sketch!

St Peter as an RPG Cleric. Feast day 29th June.

You can see the other 79 RPG Saints sketches on my social media page  Here

Your response to the campaign is truly incredible and appreciated. We're now fast approaching the 4th stretch goal!

Here's a video which was shown exclusively on GeekNative for a couple of days, but which I thought you might enjoy:

Please share the campaign if you want to. It'd be much appreciated! ;)

Best regards and thanks

RPG Saints £35,000 stretch goal unlocked!
over 1 year ago – Sun, Apr 02, 2023 at 08:31:42 AM

Hello!

We hope you're having a nice Sunday!  And welcome to all our new backers! Thanks for being here!

Well it looks like we made it! £35,000 is unlocked! Which is brilliant because that means every standard book will now come with a dust jacket! We'll design the dust jacket in the near future, but it will feature some of Wayne's sketches and be a wonderful addition to all standard books! 

(A dust jacket, if you're wondering and are too afraid to ask is an additional, removable paper cover that sits over the cover of a standard hardcover book. It'll look really good.)

Don't worry if you're one of the lucky folks getting the signed limited edition - your book will remain unique, with it's own cover designs, and unique dustjacket! And of course will be signed by Wayne! With only 12 ever made. Ok, maybe 14, one for Wayne and one for me too. :) But no more than that!

This means we have also reached the point of unveiling our final stretch goal: at the dizzying heights of £40,000 we will make available The Black Cover - a version of RPG Saints with a black and silver cover! 

This will be an add-on which, should we manage to unlock it, you'll be able to "Add-on" to your pledge by hitting the "manage my pledge" button. But we'll need to get to £40,000 to make this possible - naturally making a whole other cover design possible needs that little bit more oomph in the pocket book. But I'm hopeful we can get there! The "48 hours to go" is about to go out to anyone following the campaign - some 1100 people - and that could bring a lot of folks our way. 

Fingers crossed we can make it in the next 2 days! But hey. If we don't we have still made a thing beyond all our expectations. Thank you so much.

RPG Saints Preview #4

Hi Folks,

Thanks very much for your support so far and welcome to the new backers.

For your Friday update we have the 4th preview of a previously unseen RPG Saint sketch!

St Barnabas as an RPG Cleric. Feast day 11th June. This patron Saint of peace will ward off hailstones to keep you going over the weekend!

There's only one other sketch awaiting preview. It'll be posted here as campaign updates after the weekend. But there's not long to go now till the end of the campaign. Your response continues to feel unexpectedly overwhelming and we're extremely grateful for your support.

You can see the other 78 RPG Saints sketches on my social media page  Here

Please share the campaign if you want to. It'd be much appreciated! ;)

Best regards and thanks

Hi folks!

Welcome to the new backers and thanks to everyone for backing the project so far.

Here's a look at some more of the RPG Saints included in the book:

As most of you know, the RPG Saints have been depicted as one of the core classes; Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer and Wizard. (To date, I think there’s only been one or two exceptions).

The character class numbers on the sketches I've previewed so far are;

Barbarian 2

Bard 2

Cleric 25

Druid 11

Fighter 14

Monk 1

Paladin 3

Ranger 2

Rogue 2

Sorcerer 6

Wizard 8

Gunslinger 1

Multi-class Demiurge 1

Dog 1

Inanimate object 1

It's entirely possible that some of them may get reassigned or edited at the very last minute!

Best regards and thanks

Wayne & Jon
