If I'd been single (or interested in quickly becoming single) I would have pledged a grand to get the sweet Peter Mullen cover art for Beneath the Comet.  But that dog wasn't going to hunt under the circumstances.

I'm with you Ben, if I had the extra cash and my wife wouldn't divorce me, I would have grabbed the Forgotten Fane cover. As it is, I'm sure it's going to a good home!

And as of today we've topped the second stretch goal... more art on the way! Thanks to everyone for supporting the project!

Yep, excited to get a few more in!

I got my list...super hyped to get started. I have a few others to complete first, but should be able to get sketches done this coming week. Thanks again for all the support from this site!

Fellows,

As I write this message, we are about 50 hours away from the completion of the HYPERBOREA ADVENTURE THREE-PACK Kickstarter Campaign. 

The campaign has been a great success, thanks to your kindness and support. Thank you very kindly for supporting my small press endeavor! I truly appreciate it. 

Here is where we stand:

Initial ($14,000) Funding Goal -- Achieved!
First ($15,000) Stretch Goal -- Achieved!
Second ($17,500) Stretch Goal -- Achieved!
Third ($20,000) Stretch Goal -- Getting close!  

Breaking News!

Fellows, at this time I am adding a Fourth Stretch Goal: If we reach $21,000+, Daisey Bingham will provide some her beautiful colour work to some select Johnathan Bingham illustrations. These will then grace the back covers of the three modules, Ghost Ship of the Desert Dunes, Forgotten Fane of the Coiled Goddess, and Beneath the Comet. If you are curious about what Daisey can bring to the table, look no further than the colour work she provided to the cover of Forgotten Fane. She has a unique talent.

More Breaking News!

I'd also like to announce a new incentive just offered to me by illustrator Johnathan Bingham. If you pledge to support one of the support tiers that involves one of Mr. Bingham's original illustrations, he will also create for you a 3 x 5-inch sketch card. This is a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of art!

Please Share With Your Friends!

As we approach the finish line to this Kickstarter Campaign, I humbly request that you take a moment to share this project with some of your gaming friends through the social medium of your choice -- and please be sure to tell them that they can pledge with confidence:

Writing -- Done.
Editing -- Done.
Cover Art -- Done.
Illustrations -- Done.
Maps -- Done. 

I didn't launch this campaign until all these things were "in the can" as the saying goes. So, what remains? Well, the second stretch goal did call for a handful of new pieces by Bingham and Teigeler. These pieces have been assigned, and the artists are gearing up to complete them (each artist is adding one more illustration to each module; these are modest, reasonable, achievable additions). What else? Layout, printing, and shipping. That's it.

In closing, I leave you with this wonderful illustration by Johnathan Bingham. Beware of werewolves!



Cheers,
Jeff Talanian

Awwwww yeaaah!
Now I won't have to try to renegotiate my contract to include a set of those bookmarks.
(Just kidding Jeff... I probably wasn't planning to do that...)

Well over $20K now! I think there's a good chance of $21K. Regardless, it's a resounding success - congrats to Jeff and all of the contributors.

Many, many thanks Chainsaw. It's you and 250+ other excellent gamers that made it happen. The support has been humbling!

We're nearing the finish line! Thank you, fellows.

Yes! Absolutely fantastic! Now, if only I could remember my KS password...

Thanks to all the backers!  You won't regret it... although your players might.
