Latest Updates from Our Project:

Small quick update
over 3 years ago – Fri, Oct 30, 2020 at 06:29:49 AM

Hey all,


Just a quick update about some updates on Stretch Goals!  Haven't made a decision yet, but looks like the most voted for so far are:

1) New interior artwork done by Flavio Bolla (like the cover)

2) Challenge coins

3) Compendium (most popular) but still working out the cost of that


*Update last 2 spots for OMNI and GOD TIER - so excited to be writing some awesome people into the story. Every KS I find some cool new character. Last KS OMNI tier is being crafted into book 5, becoming a character that's a magical elemental being (won't spoil it too much).  The Kickstarter before that, OMNI tier, became Lieutenant Grayson, Mathelstan's lieutenant and right hand to the infamous Thief-Lord of Water. It's a blast to write in fans into the Saga and even inject little easter eggs.

Oh yeah, in honor or Throwback Thursday, check the instagram for the first Ronin pic in stories!

Otherwise, happy Thursday and almost weekend! Hope everyone is doing well and let me know if you have any questions at all!  Oh and it's not too late to cast your vote.


Best,

Matt


P.S.

  • Omni Backers are out! So much <3.
  • Stretch Goal #5 Announced - the most voted on "Ronin Saga CHALLENGE COINS"! at $18,000 - let's try to hit it! They'll be antique silver/copper/bronze and of each of the nine elements :D

Oh yeah... Sneak Preview of SG Art :) More to come!

So spread the word - it means the world, and let's keep the momentum up up up.  So we can all get these rewards, get more amazing people apart of the Saga, and readers into the realm of Farhaven. A single share goes a lot further than you think :D


Thank you as always and much heart,

Alright, party time! Woot! I'll bring the chips and mead.  Thank you so much everyone. Over 230 amazing backers and fans of great fantasy/stories.  

Wooooo! We almost crushed it 24 hours!

I've been seeing your tweets and shares, thank you!


Sorry if I'm delayed in messages, responding to everyone today and tomorrow. Also, still one more of our highest tiers left at each level, and *only a handful Early Birds left*, so if you know any readers who love fancy hardcovers and signed books, pass it along!


Also, I've been taking suggestions on future Stretch Goals! What do you all want to see? Let me know in the discord which I just opened as a Private Discord to all Kickstarter / Patreon fans!

Cast your vote!
Come join us!

Best,

Matt


Oh yeah, and check out this other awesome project:


Bram Stoker Rare Papers

Unearthed: The Bram Stoker Rare Papers is a collection aged replicas of some of Bram Stoker’s most important papers, notes, and materials related to his life, his research and writing of Dracula, drawn from the many Bram Stoker holdings and collections in libraries and archives around the world.

The following institutions have provided us with licensed materials from their collections for reproduction:

The Rosenbach Museum, The British Museum Library, Marsh’s Library Dublin, and Trinity College. My cousins Robin McCaw and Noel Dobbs, The Bram Stoker Estate, have also provide some special seldom seen items to add to our offerings.

Fully funded in 24 hours, Unearthed is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Dracula history!

Woot! 93% as of writing and rising! And a call to arms! Can we do it?

Hi all,


What an amazing day one.  I'm so honored and grateful for everyone being apart of this project. I know Tides of Fate w a long time coming. So needless to say, I'm excited (and thankful for your patience!).  It's a good one - I can't pick favorites, but it's up there for the Saga thus far. So, what's next??


#1 in its Category!!! Wooo!

Here are the numbers: we hit 80% 10k in 24 hours, and slowly climbing to 90%, currently at $11,353 as of writing! So we're almost to our funding goal.  We've slowed a little (definitely a bit expected after an initial push), so any share, tweet, or mention means the world. 

 If you use Facebook here's the link to spread the word!

Much ❤️


My deep resonating hope is to hit some higher Stretch Goals like Interior Art, Chapter Heading Art... and even the mysterious SG #5 and #6.  Check my instagram for some hints on what it might be!

I can't wait for everyone to read TIDES OF FATE - I really look forward hearing everyone's take on the next step in the journey in Farhaven.

 Thank you so much,
 Matt

Incredible start! We're well on our way to meeting our goal!
over 3 years ago – Tue, Oct 13, 2020 at 07:15:31 AM

Thank you all so much - this is an amazing start! I know it's super early, only 50 minutes into launch, but wanted to make two small announcements.


1) There were supposed to be 10 EBs for the hardcover Book Four, so the next 10 people to switch will save and get that Early Bird edition!


2) We have an exciting contest! You can win another free TIDES OF FATE book for a friend or you, a gift card, and a (very cool) one of a kind swag pillow of the Ronin.  All you have to do is use send me a message / or comment below for a **PERSONAL** link and every person who backs with it, you will be entered in the contest. At the end of the contest, I'll post the top 10 referrals and do a live stream and the winner will receive the above rewards... and a special BONUS.   

Last contest was a blast and super successful so let's spread the word! Write a comment below if you want in or send me a message and I'll give you your referral code!

(Winner will be announced Nov 7th)

Much heart and so excited!

Matt
