Nikaleles

Velasco

Proud Kicksucker backing the $180 tier plus a lil extra somethin' somethin' (cuz $200 feels nicer than $180). 25 people before me though, my refresh game is weak XD Good luck with the project!

Flyfly

Early crow got the worm. To the moon!

BansheeClause

Its happening! Yay! Sadly the commissions got snapped up in thirty seconds but i put my order in

Plucky Pariah

It's only been 20 minutes and we're halfway there!!! LET'S GET TO THE FIRST GOAL IN THE FIRST HOUR WOOOOOOOOOOOO

Suppy

Backed, went back, pledged a bit more, backed again, lfg

Sanelyinsane

Jeez, barely 20 minutes and it's half fulfilled. Browsing kickstarter years ago is actually how I discovered this comic, so I'm glad I'm able to support this one.

Michael Stakely

Just to save people some future time scrolling around the pledges, the commission slots were on the Add-on page rather than as a separate donation tier. Also waiting a week to add stretch goals probably isn't going to hold up when it's already surpassed 50% funded.

Natalie

man I love watching Number Go Up.

Rifter

So excited for this and everyone who's supporting! Watching that that pledge number continuing to tick up brightens my day! Let's freakin go guys!

Jeremy Ball

I thought I was ready, but I stepped on my balls, fell over and missed the commissions. :( Oh well, I'll just have to draw my own terrible F_an_ARTs. Congrats. It's going to smash the goal inside an hour.

Hi Ashley! I already sent in an FAQ message, so whoever on Iron Circus' team is running the KS page should already know, but I think it would be a really good idea to allow people to pledge for extra print copies as add-ons. That's not currently an option. I want to buy copies for my local friends!

gigi

got my pledge in! for the previous kickstarters I wasn't in a position to pledge so I'm really happy I can do so for this one.

Stephanie Aldrich

Got my pledge in, and I'm so stoked to see how fast that meter is filling up!

ScientistNate

I backed your past Kickstarters. Are these the same books, just in a new edition? Or is this totally different?

Cata (Abby)

Holy moly, the way the funding numbers jumped between when I first looked at the page and when I got to my pledge confirmation... I know it's not over till it's over but I also don't think it's too early to congratulate you, Ashley! It's still been less than an hour since I got that email from Iron Circus that the campaign is live!

Noto

I got the timezone conversion COMPLETELY WRONG (thought it would launch approx 24 hours from now, but I managed to sliiiide right in last minute! thank goodness for not being a good child and tinkering in bed on my phone) Holy moly, 75% of the way there at the :45 minute mark, though, awesome!! Also got my peepers on those colour commissions... I WON'T LOSE THIS TIME... (i'll probably lose but dangit I'll try) (Speaking of, though, if those pop up do we just edit our pledge to add them as add ons? I don't have much experience with kickstartin') Congratulations, it's so awesome to see this come to fruition :)

Rainwalker

Pledge'd! We're already so close to the goal~

Noto

(also psst... just a heads up but there's a typo on the $100 pledge tier! I'm sure everyone's scrolling too fast to notice but!)

Renee

Whew woke up just in time for the free shipping (yay for night shift) so happy to see it already mostly funded. Not to count any chickens before they hatch, but congratulations

Beth Yahne

It hit 40k! congrats on being funded :)

Cassie

CONGRATS ON BEING FULLY FUNDED IN JUST OVER AN HOUR

L Anon

There are commission slots, right? I was looking through the page but couldn’t find them!

Nikaleles

CONGRAAAATS 💙💙💙

Stretch Andrews

Well done! Let's keep the ball rolling and pump those numbers.

CD

I'm afraid there was no way in the world I was doing anything at 2am, but plodged at last >:) Also a lil Rice Boy bonus, sweet.

HandsomePenguin

The page said there had been 56 backers when I first clicked on it 2 minutes after launch. I went right to the choice I wanted and ran through it, and I was still backer #196. Must have been a lot of people waiting for the starting pistol, still got that discounted shipping though!

Michael Bruner

Delighted to see even just a few hours later I'm already late to the party for fully funded, congrads!

metrocube

Congratulations on hitting the funding goal so quickly Ashley! I think I pledged in the first 30 minutes and the goal was already almost half-way there! Can't think of a more deserving series and am very much looking forward to the next books coming out too. I hope a healthy portion of the better-than-expected pledges go to you and not just the publisher!!

Rob N

Aaaaaah, I missed the first hour (or the first ten hours I guess, but the first one was the important one) :( Anyway, congrats for hitting the funding goal so quickly, and I bet it'll go much higher! ...so now I have the choice between spending ~100$ (60$ for the books + ~40$ for shipping to Germany) for the physical copies with print-exclusive content, or exactly 100$ for eight digital books. Hmmm, what to do... If I remember correctly there was some print-exclusive content in the old books (the Senet Beast guide comes to mind) that didn't make it to the new books - or will that make an appearance in the later volumes? Anyway, I've been vying to get my fingers on that for years, but I was too cheap to pay for international shipping. I even pledged for the PDF version of volumes 1-3 at the Kickstarter for "old" volume 3 years ago in the mistaken belief that the extras would be included (I was still happy with the PDFs and glad to support the comic of course). Any chance of the exclusive content which will not be reused being made available for long-time Kickstarter supporters? ;) Mind you, I don't want it for free, I would gladly pay for it...

It's a testament to just how unbelievably good your art has become, that the already-stellar beginnings now seem like from a different era...
