Hardback Edition News!

Hi,
Well, I've been counting my counting beans and have come to the following conclusion!
Yep, we'll unlock the Hardback Edition when we reach £4000 in funding!
As soon as this happens, I'll let everyone know the exact details of the hardback upgrade amount, so only then can people who want this edition change their pledge to include it! Please don't do it until we hit £4000 and I've shared the details, or it'll skew the figures!
Hope that makes sense!
So, if people want the hardback, spread the word to others who share our gamebook passion, and let's get the total over the £4K mark!
Speak soon,
Simon
Crushed £2K + New Facebook Group

Hi again,
More news - we've passed through the £2K mark, and are heading towards 200% funded! This is awesome and makes me feel confident about the book and the campaign.
Currently, I'm feeling around 60% of backers would be interested in upgrading to a hardback (with dust jacket), which is a pretty good number. If we keep gaining backers steadily, then this will probably happen - watch this space!
Also, thank you for all your suggestions for rewards/stretch goals. Keep 'em coming as you think of them!
New Arcane Rites Facebook Group
We've just created the Arcane Rites Gamebooks Facebook Group, for those on Facebook!
The link is:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/arcaneritesgamebooks/
Whilst it's early days in the Arcane Rites history, it's a place which will have more content as we grow.
I'm sure I had more to tell you... I'll try and save it for the next update!

A question for you + More news on the gamebook (including book 2 title)

Hi!
Another strong day which is obviously brilliant - the more people who come on board, the greater the word gets out.
Thank you.
A Question
I wanted to ask you a question; what would you like to see either as a stretch goal or as an add-on reward?
There'll be a good chance you've backed other Kickstarters, whether they were for gamebooks or not, so is there something you've received in the past that you think is a good fit for Arcane Rites?
Add a comment to this post and I'll consider all suggestions!

Also, Gamebooknews.com interviewed us and it's chock full of information about the book, and even includes the title for book 2! Click on the following link to read more!

Funded in 12 hours! (Long update with Add-Ons!)

Thank you!
I was a bit sleepy when the email came through (and so close to completing watching Stranger Things 3 - wouldn't that show make some great gamebook experiences?) so I wanted to leave it to this morning to celebrate the fantastic news!
WE'RE FUNDED! And in just 12 hours!
My experience of Kickstarter is however much you build up a following on the site, if you launch something different (for me this means not comics based), then you cannot guarantee getting funded. I deliberately asked for as little as possible in the hope that over the 30 days we'd hit the goal, so you can imagine how happy I am right now!
And that's all down to your support. I will be careful and sensible about stretch goals, because they can have a habit of blowing the best prepared budgets, but rest assured, there will be stretch goals.
In the meantime, I've added an extra section to the campaign page offering Add-Ons, both for the Arcane Rites campaign items (want more dice, pencils, bookmarks, etc.?), and for all of our comics, which may or may not be your thing. I've included the images below:
Take a look, see what you think.
Below is an image which should take you through the steps of both changing your pledge level or adding Add-On amounts to your pledge, but if you spot any issues (Kickstarter changes things every now and then), please get in touch!
So, after all that, thank you again.
If you can spread the word by sharing our campaign or our social media posts, that'd be fantastic and it all helps to reach stretch goals so we can share the love!
Speak soon,
Simon
