Stretch Goals phase 1 is now complete! Moving on to Phase 2!!!!
over 3 years ago – Thu, Nov 05, 2020 at 02:51:39 PM

Let me catch my breath a little bit...

We are not even a full week into this Kickstarter and we're already through every single Stretch Goal planned in Phase 1. That's absolutely jaw-dropping, thank you so much for the overwhelming turnout so early on.

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART: THANK YOU!!!

Here are the latest Stretch Goals unlocked, two more collectible cards for a total of four of them already! I love these, I think they are great add-ons to any package and as a big card collector myself it's just thrilling to have my "creator-owned" full set.

As you can see below I haven't even been able to lock down and announce some of the artists for the unlocked content like Stretch Goal #9. I usually have a bit more time in my hands when a campaign starts and we begin unlocking Stretch Goals. 

Not only that but I've also been pretty busy fulfilling a previous Kickstarter so I'm stretched out pretty thin but it's all good though, as artists come on board I will be sure to update you all and keep everyone in the loop.

I gotta say though I'm already talking to some exciting names so expect BIG news soon \o/

All in all we're doing fantastic and here's your official announcement of what's coming up next, a whole new batch of Stretch Goals designed to really make every reward tier pack as much punch as possible.

In the off-chance we blast through Phase 2 like we did Phase 1 I'm already putting together some thoughts on even more Stretch Goals to come.

So how about we continue spreading the word about The Few and Cursed, upping those pledges for hardcovers and posting on social media?

Project Spotlight

Early Haunts

If you are a past backer of any of my campaigns you know I do this pretty often. I think it's a terrific way to exercise the community spirit behind Kickstarter. This is a community and in a way or another we are all helping each other out. Whether I scout projects or creators reach out to me, I like to offer these Spotlights every now and then.

I curate the content and if it's something I believe in, something that looks good, it's my pleasure to share it with you guys. For my first Spotlight I decided to go with Early Haunts.

They are fully funded already and going into their last 48hrs looking to unlock some Stretch Goals, it's a horror anthology and if that's your brand of whiskey just hit the link above and give it a look. From their own page: "Four forgotten ghostly tales, each lifted from their original folk tales and adapted into a 100-page graphic novel adaptation!  Illustrated by some of the most talented horror artists around today!"

That's it for today, folks, I hope you enjoyed this update, I hope you are as excited about the Phase 2 Stretch Goals as I am and really, I'm thankful and appreciative of every dollar pledged so far, thank you so much!

Any questions or comments please shoot me a DM or an e-mail at [email protected]

Cheers!

Three more Stretch Goals unlocked plus RAFAEL DE LATORRE'S artwork reveal!

Howdy, folks!

After a terrific weekend with a number of new pledges and backers coming in (welcome!) we have unlocked yet another THREE Stretch Goals! 

And among them personally one of my favorites, the dust-jacket which hopefully will be dual-sided with two exclusively commissioned new pieces of art. The Stretch Goals revealed so far are just Phase 1 and I honestly think we will knock them all down by week's end.

I cannot wait to reveal what I have in store for you all once Phase 2 rolls around. I truly believe that any Kickstarter campaign is a two-way relationship so the more pledges we get the more cool stuff I wanna pack in everyone's tiers.

Not only we unlocked Rafael De Latorre's artwork for the dust-jacket we also already included yet another collectible card to every package as well by phenomenal artist Gilberto Martimiano Jr.:

I can't thank you all enough for the awesome support and all the pledges. You are the reason we're unlocking all this cool content and I'm always grateful for your support.

Let's keep tweeting about The Few and Cursed, sharing on Facebook, Instagram, telling your friends, and really the sky is the limit. 

Thank you so much, I wish everyone a great week and until next Update!

Cheers,

Felipe

Funded in 2hrs! Four Stretch Goals UNLOCKED! This has been a furious first 24hrs \o/

Hey everyone!

This is our very first of hopefully many Updates where I will get to share exciting news about Stretch Goals, Artists, collectible items and more! I'm still in awe of everything that happened in these past 24hrs.

This has been, by far, the biggest Day 1 of any Kickstarter campaign I've ever ran. It's been one massive display of love and support for Red and The Few and Cursed universe and I wanted to acknowledge and thank you all for your pledges.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

We've crushed the initial goal in a little over two hours and then really just furiously went through the first four Stretch Goals without any brakes. I didn't even have time to lock down the artists for the first unlocked items! 

I do have a list of artists to work from though and I've reached out to a couple of them this morning so hopefully I will have awesome news next week. In the meantime here's what's been unlocked so far and what we can look for as we continue to get more pledges in:

THE SILVER SIGNATURE SERIES COLLECTIBLE CARDS

We've been doing these cards for a while now and they've always been part of the Stretch Goals. We've done a Gold Signature Series set of 9 cards and last Kickstarter we were able to fund production and manufacturing of the first four Silver Signature cards.

I'm thrilled we already unlocked card #5 and I can't wait to see if we will be able to go all the way up to card #9 and complete the set already.

If you are new to the series and would love to get a complete collection of our cards do not worry as all of them will be available as Add-Ons in our Pledge Manager coming up after the Kickstarter ends. I love doing these cards as it gives us the chance of highlighting new artists and new styles while owning a pretty awesome and high-end item.

I can't wait to see what happens next and how fast we continue to unlock Stretch Goals, I do have a lot planned and the above board is just Phase 1. 

Once again thanks so much for backing right on Day 1 and kicking us off in style. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 Have a safe and great weekend and Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃

Best,

Felipe
