Update on the Bold Marauder Patreon pledge drive.

Spent a good part of today writing stuff for it. In a couple of different ways.  But I can’t show it if there aren’t new pledges.  Horrible of me to wave around something tasty without serving up, but that’s why they call it advertising.

Here’s what we’ve got so far: naturally, I’ll be making full chapters when we have some.

Welp, time to revisit the Bold Marauder Patreon pledge drive.

I gotta keep going for it if I want to get anywhere, of course. What I’ve done so far is below: for every day that I get a new patron, people get another hit for free. When the drive hits $200/month, I start writing this serial Pulp SF story up every week for patrons. It’s a bargain, so click the button above!

The pledge drive is DONE! Thank you!

goal-thermometer-newAs you can see, there’s nothing let to hit and it was the last day anyway.  Between the generous donations here and the relieved ones from family members happy to to be finally be given something of an idea of what to get my wife for a present, we’re good.  We’re better than good, in fact: it’s done, it’s over, the project is fully funded and everybody can go home.

:pause:

No, really, actually: we really are done this time. I heartily suggest that all of my readers who like roleplaying games sign up for the 7th Sea Kickstarter, because the more people that sign up, the more stuff I eventually get.  And, well, because it was an awesome game and hopefully will be an even more awesome one when it’s done.  But this pledge drive is over. Go home.

and, hey: thanks, folks.

Day Six of the 7th Sea Kickstarter / Wife’s Present Pledge Drive.

goal-thermometer-newWell, it’s been going pretty well. With the latest batch, and assuming that all the family members pull through, I should be able to pay for the 7th Sea Kickstarter without going too far into future discretionary income territory. Certainly not the six months I was originally contemplating, to be sure.

Also: yeah, the cat is out of the bag.  Partially because my buddy Michael N. from comments was right, and partially because it’s not been the best of weeks and I needed a bit of a lift. Best way to get that is give somebody else a bit of a lift, too.  She was, of course, highly pleased – and, yes, planning to do whatever submitted write-up needs to be, well, submitted.

Anyway: tomorrow is the last full day of the pledge drive, which I guess means that it officially closes Sunday.  And, as always: thanks, folks. Much appreciated. Continue reading Day Six of the 7th Sea Kickstarter / Wife’s Present Pledge Drive.

Day 4 of the 7th Sea 2nd Edition Kickstarter / birthday gift pledge drive.

goal-thermometer-newWe are definitely chugging along on the 7th Sea Kickstarter pay-for-my-wife’s-character’s-RPG-immortality pledge drive, here; although strict accuracy requires that I note that I tapped family members for this one.  You would not believe how difficult it is to shop for my wife… what am I saying?  Probably most of the people reading this are impossible to shop for, are involved with someone who is impossible to shop for, or both.  Admittedly, in our cases it’s largely the problem that people will find it difficult to accept that, yes, please, Amazon gift cards.  There’s nothing wrong with Amazon gift cards.  We dream about getting Amazon gift cards for our birthdays and Christmases.

But I digress.  I’m well and truly committed at this point: somebody snapped up the $500 pledge level I abandoned for the $1,000 one.  I hope that that person yelled Woo-hoo! when he or she noticed that the level was now open again.  It pleases me to think that I made the day of somebody that I don’t even know; it tastes of June mornings when the sun is up, but there was rain the night before and the breeze can’t decide whether to be warm or cool.

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




goal-thermometer-new 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.
