Howdy!
We did it! The Tales of the Outlaw Mages Kickstarter is complete and now you're on your way to getting really awesome books!
And most excellent news, we unlocked the very last stretch goal which is amazing, so everyone getting the Legend Has It deck are going to have some really shiny cards! I can't wait!
Okay, but now what?
First things first, make sure your pledge went through! There are 7 of you who had errors, so please check for any messages from Kickstarter! If the issue isn't corrected, they'll drop your pledge! (If you're one of these folks and you're not able to get your payment details sorted before Kickstarter drops you, message me and we will figure out an alternate plan!)
Next steps...
In two weeks-ish, you'll receive a rewards survey from Backerkit. Timing may vary due to the Easter holiday. This survey is pivotal--it's how I'll deliver your rewards! Keep an eye out, but I'll also make another update when it goes out and let you know the deadline for submission.
When do I get my stuff?
That will vary!
- All digital items will be released once surveys (and any potential outstanding payments) are handled via Backerkit. You'll get your digital items before anything else, most likely!
- Special edition paperbacks and hardcovers will go out to anyone not doing a payment plan. This timeline depends on the printer and shipping, but May seems like a good candidate month for this.
- Payment plan folks without sprayed edges: if the previous wave goes out in May, you're probably June-ish.
- Sprayed edges backers: This totally depends on Madison the sprayer's availability! So once she has the books it's sort of a wild card. But trust me, they'll be soooo worth it.
- Payment plan backers: We'll hash out more payment plan details via the survey, so definitely keep an eye out for that!
Some things, like supply chain and printer mishaps, are beyond my control so the schedule may get off-kilter! But know I am doing everything to get these gorgeous books to you ASAP!
And thanks again for backing the Tales of the Outlaw Mages! Can't wait for you to hit the trail with these books!
Stay magical,
Amy

Howdy!
Phew, we broke through stretch goal #5 which means Blaise and I are going to have to decide on a recipe to give y'all! That's a nice problem to have. (One of Blaise's preferred problems, honestly.)
But that also means we're working on the final stretch goal...
If we hit $6600, then everyone getting the Legend Has it Oracle Deck will receive cards with gilt edges! I'm very excited about this possibility--I can only imagine how awesome this will look! 😍
So share the campaign if you can, but regardless - we're going to soar to the end on pegasus wings!
Stay magical,

We unlocked Stretch Goal #4 - Now it's down to the wire!

Howdy!
As I write this, there's 30 hours left of the campaign (eek) and we've unlocked Stretch Goal #4, so everyone will be treated to an awesome scene from Persuader that wasn't able to be included in the finished novel. That's very exciting!
Now we're on to...
I don't know what the recipe is yet! Blaise and I will tackle that sometime after the campaign. (I've been pretty sick the last week or so, and I'm at the point where I'm functioning on like 2 hours of sleep a night and a whole lot of caffeine.)
And! We have our daily perks, so don't forget all that awesomeness you'll be getting, too...
Tomorrow's perk is my absolute favorite: the short story Blaise has a nice day. I was so excited about it, in fact, that I wrote it the other day and now it's edited!
And another reminder that when this campaign ends, the pegasus sprayed edges will ride off into the sunset! There's still a couple of them available as addons, so even if you're getting a payment plan that doesn't already include the edges, or buying a tier with them outright, you can make your books even more gorgeous.
Just a really cool aside: Madison, the gal handling the sprayed edges, made a video of the process for these! It's interesting to watch! You can check it out here if you want.
Stay magical,
Amy
