Woot! We did it! $18,842 and 319 amazing backers brought Tides of Fate to life and we reached nearly every Stretch Goal! I can't thank you enough - so excited for a return to the magical realm of Farhaven, and of course, for cool swag - (these coins really are cool).
I'll be uploading BackerKit so we can get all the details - addresses etc, and you can get all AddOns, including short stories, books, coins and more.
Also....
Some exciting things in the pipeline. Usually we have around 6 months to 2 years between new releases, but everything is coming to a head, so we're going to have a few things releasing soon:
That's it for now!
Oh here's the opening credits of Dreams of a Reaver Narrated by Kate Reading to get you hyped!
CLICK "Play" To Hear DREAMS OF A REAVER - A Ronin Saga short story credits.
Lastly, Tides of Fate Timeline. TOF is in my talented designer Michael Campbell's hands. He is formatting the book, adding all our amazing new interior art from Flavio Bolla, and getting it ready for the publisher (he will be done in a few days), which will then be printed in a 1000 FE run. We have an amazing printer who will be doing the hardcovers in the same stunning renditions, but with a few perks including gold foil emboss! Then those 1000 copies will be shipped to me ASAP - shipping will take 2 weeks depending on customs. Then as soon as I receive them I will be signing and shipping them to you! I will let you know updates when the designer finishes, book is printed, and I am signing - every step of the way.
Farhaven awaits!
Sincerely,
Matt
Hi all!
We're crushing it! Woo! Thanks to you, we are well on our way at this rate to knock down SG #5 Challenge Coins, and maybe, *possibly*, even unlocking the final mystery SG #6 at $20,000! Very excited.
If you want to add in coins, now's the time! Again you will be able to choose from the nine elements (wind, water, fire, stone, moon, sun, flesh, and metal).
You can get them at a discounted rate exclusively through the Kickstarter campaign RIGHT NOW! As you back the campaign (or by adjusting your pledge using instructions found on this page), you can add the following amounts to your pledge for one or more coins:
I'm humbled and stoked that so many people love the coins! That said, we are running out of coin "sets" so snag them now while you can, and whatever is left of this first run I'll make available in BackerKit.
Lastly, I'm going Live on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wolf_writer/ @ 7:30 for a Q & A for the Kickstarter and all things Ronin Saga! I can answer all questions there and would love to see you! So hop in and say hi!
So thank you for everything, if you haven't yet, last chance to share (Facebook), share (Twitter), share (email) and spread the word! It means so much.
Much heart,
Matt
Hi all,
Woot! We're on the final stretch! Less than 63 hours to go!
This will be a short and sweet update, and you'll want to read the whole thing, got a bit of a surprise!
So we're at $15,499 currently. Many of you saw we had a bit of a dip going below our Stretch Goal #3, now steadily rising once more. All the while, I've gotten quite a few messages about Challenge Coins, so I've made a decision and I'm pretttttty excited about it.
I bit the bullet, and I've just ordered the Challenge Coins into production. They should arrive in 20 days. I know I know, we're not quite there yet - Stretch Goal #5 is still on the horizon at $18,000, but I've a gut feeling we're going to hit it and pretty quick. Regardless I'm going to cover the cost because I think these are just so darn cool. Best of all??? You can buy them now!
Description and Material: I did a lot of searching, and while the most common base for the coins is a Zinc Alloy, and sometimes Iron, I found the best material (though a bit pricier) is brass. Brass has the heft that Zinc Alloy doesn't, yet with the sharp relief and 3D feel that iron doesn't allow. Then I took bids to over a hundred different manufacturers and found one who is able to do antique plating of copper, bronze, AND silver. Most were only interested in doing 1 variation, but I'm excited that we can have 3 different styles. Originally, I was only planning the 3 main elements (wind, sun, and leaf) as per our main characters, but I think the other 6 elements are awesome. So while 9 molds was quite a bit more expensive in up front costs on my end, I think collecting all nine is way too cool, so we'll have all nine elements:
That means with all 3 different styles and nine elements, there's a total combination of 27 different types of coins!
I know the last will be pretty popular, so we'll have it available for a limited time! That's a 70% discount. We'll be adding Challenge Coins into BackerKit, but we have a limited amount for our first run, so get them while supplies last.
If interested, go to your pledge and up your backing to have these as add ons.
1) Go https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/matthewwolf/tides-of-fate-book-four-of-the-ronin-saga
2) Hit "Manage Pledge" and then "Change your Pledge" + ADD X the amount amount here.
After increasing your pledge, please shoot me a message here on Kickstarter with how many coins you've added to your pledge! This will make it easier on my end when it comes time to start shipping!
***Note***: If you are getting a physical item, e.g. Book four, our Hero's Set, or any other, these will come with NO additional shipping fee. So don't worry about that at all :) However, if you are a digital backer or supporter, please add $10 for shipping in addition to you coin backing!
***Note #2***: After the campaign ends, we'll ask for your choice in style (wind, water, fire, etc) depending on the amount you backed. If we have any left over, those will be BackerKit addons, though I've a feeling these will be pretty popular!
That said, I'm hoping with this incentive we'll hit some super exciting goals, get to our SG #3 for Interior Chapter Heading Art, SG# 4 for more Art, and even the mysterious SG #6! I've also included ONE last Omni backer to help us get there - so if you want to be immortalized in the Saga, now's your chance!
Thank you all so much. Eternally grateful, keep sharing and spreading the word in these final hours for more awesome readers, and let's see what heights we can reach!
Best,
Matt
p.s. If you have any questions, let me know, I'll be GLAD to help!
