Hey everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

As of this morning, so far we have unlocked TWO stretch goals!

So all physical level backers will get the double-sided bookmark added to their pledge, and all physical books will be getting a cover stock upgrade!

We are just $162 away from unlocking the next one, a coaster of Ember for all physical backers!

My good friend Kat'sLike Father, Like Daughter #1-6 is only $165 away from reaching its funding goal:

And don't forget, by backing BOTH hers and this campaign at ANY physical level, you will also get this gorgeous print!

And Kurt Zauer's Spectress & Sabanion #1 is only $77 from its goal too!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and look for more updates soon!

New Cover & Reward Tiers!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jun 11, 2020 at 08:48:01 PM

I am thrilled to announce a brand new variant cover has been added to this campaign!

This cover is by artist Federico Sabbatini, who did the pencils and inks and has most recently been seen on Black Box Comic's Bigs & Tiny, as well as Aspen and various other projects. I've lettered his work before and fell in love with his art.

Joining him is long-time collaborator Andrea Celestini, who also worked on Bigs & Tiny as well as Action Lab, Zenescope and others!

I lucked into being able to collaborate with them on this cover, which they turned out VERY quickly!

You will definitely be seeing more of this superstar-in-the-making team on The Last Ember in the near future!

NEW REWARD TIERS

With this cover, I've added two brand new reward tiers, and I've altered a couple to also include this cover!

This is your basic tier for the cover, you get it with the digital deluxe, audio commentary and sticker pack.

And with this one, you get all three covers and all the extras!

UPDATED TIERS

And then I updated these two tiers to include the new cover:

ANOTHER CAMPAIGN TO SUPPORT!

Before I let you go, check out The Agency #6 by Ruben Romero. It's almost at 50% with just over two weeks to go!

As the world of magic is thrown into chaos; a mysterious group once thought to be myth will help Riley and our Agents.

The intrigue of espionage and the wonders of magic combine in a tale that launches the world of the International Agency of Magic – run by its distinguished director Embry Eskyll. IAM agents work in a world where magic is a real, if not completely accepted, part of everyday life. But just as those agents catch a lead about a shadowy organization that threatens the balance between the Gifted and everyone else, they are directed to deal with a newly emerged mage, Riley Dean – a teenage orphan with a history of bouncing between foster home and institutions.

There are both digital and physical catch-up tiers as well!

ALL FOR NOW

Until next time...

Stretch Goals Are Here!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jun 11, 2020 at 09:26:35 AM

Hey, Everyone!

Two weeks to go and we're still going strong! So I figured it was time to provide some more added value to your investment!

STRETCH GOALS

We're well on our way to unlocking our first stretch goal, a sweet double-side bookmark featuring, of course, Ember! Here's the full list:

We've got a lot of cool things in store as we continue to unlock these. 

REANIMATOR INCORPORATED

This is a really cool Kickstarter going on right now by Andy Perry. It's got less than a week to go, so please go check it out while you still can. It's killing it!

Reanimator Incorporated - A Lovecraft-inspired Graphic Novel

Based on H.P. Lovecraft’s ‘Herbert West - Reanimator’, Reanimator Incorporated: Chapter One is a complete reimagining of the original story. Taking inspiration from Lovecraft’s original text, and from Gordon’s 80s movie adaptation, this 72-page graphic novel modernises West’s machinations, whilst weaving literary mythology (Lovecraftian and beyond) into the tale. Think Reanimator meets From Beyond, with a splash of Dante’s Inferno, a dab of King’s Pet Sematary… And then some… Hardbacks now available...!

"Reanimator Incorporated is a definite must read for fans of the genre, it’ll take you on twists that you’ll never expect regardless of how familiar you are with the story. The first chapter offers so much for the reader to enjoy, little details that could be missed and new ideas being added by people that clearly have a deep appreciation for the subject."

You can find out more about Reanimator Incorporated and the team behind it here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amperry/reanimator-incorporated

ALL FOR NOW

Later today or tomorrow, I'll have more to share related to that tease I gave all the backers yesterday. :) Stay tuned!

Funded!!! (Plus the Keychain and more!)
almost 4 years ago – Mon, Jun 08, 2020 at 02:40:47 PM

Hey everyone!

First, I hope you are all doing okay. I know this past week has been a hard one for us all. So I hope you're all staying strong and staying safe.

Second...

WE ARE FUNDED!!! WOOT

This past weekend, bleeding into today things slowly started picking back up, and lo and behold, just as I was about to post this update with a completely different focus, we hit the initial goal! 

THANK YOU!

Now, onto some other cool stuff...

EARLY BACKERS!

For everyone that has backed as of this post, check your messages here on Kickstarter! I have sent out a special surprise to both Day One Backers as well as Everyone who backed the first week all the way up to this post!

THE KEYCHAIN

I finally got around to recording a short video showing off the Limited Edition Wooden Keychain and some of the stickers. The pictures I took weren't great, so I'll try to take another one soon.

Pretty cool, right? They look really cool in person. It just glistens making the whole fire theme stand out even more!

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING ELSE TO BACK?

These campaigns are live right now and are pretty cool! So go check them out, they're just a click away!

THE JUMP 1 from Screenwriter/Ringo Award-Winner Rylend Grant

A kick-you-in-the-teeth paranoid thriller set in the world of astral projection from the creator of Action Lab's ABERRANT and BANJAX.

Rylend just hit his first stretch goal and there's more to come!

And this one launches on June 10th I believe:

Duplicant 1-3: A Dystopian Biopunk Thriller

A pulse-pounding sci-fi mystery about a scientist who becomes a victim of his own technology.

I backed the last one and can't wait for this one!

Need more? My friend Kat did this sweet video highlighting several campaigns, including this one! Check it out here:

IN CLOSING

Well, now that we've hit our initial goal, I can definitely say that we have more stuff coming later in the week! So stay tuned for more updates and surprises to come!
