No Guts, No Glory: Day Three of the 7th Sea 2nd Edition Kickstarter wife’s present pledge drive.

Much better day yesterday.  In fact, $400 out of $500 makes it a qualified success; I have a limited but reliable income stream that would guarantee whatever shortages remain.  My general thanks for everybody who contributed (you’ll all get personal ones later) .So… I guess that’s gonna get Mrs. Lane’s favorite 7th Sea character officially into 7th Sea Canon. Which is awesome.

…But, and to quote the lovely and experienced Mrs. Marion Ravenwood Williams Jones: that will get her there, but not in style.  What the hell: I never know what to get my wife for her birthday anyway.  A “full color, half-page portrait of your character in a forthcoming sourcebook, along with a full description of the character’s adventures and misdeeds” sounds like it might do the trick.  So: no guts, no glory.

Yeah, that means I’m gonna be now on the hook for another six hundred bucks. Better than it looks, because the aforementioned incoming income stream will take out about 30% of that. I also have a couple of family members on both sides who never know what to get my wife for her birthday, either. After that, I dunno.  Maybe I can grab some writing piecework or something. So, hey, folks, now’s your chance to get some quality hackery at a discount!

And, of course, the tip jar.
