Latest Updates from Our Project:

emails with PDF links have all gone out from DriveThruComics.com!
7 months ago – Wed, May 08, 2024 at 02:15:52 AM

Hello again! 

I’ve now sent out the emails with the PDF download links through DriveThruComics.com. You should have now received an email from them with instructions for claiming the reward.

For those of you who asked us to send your PDFs sent to a friend: please let them know to expect the email! As I sent it I just kept thinking "This message looks so spammy" but I don't know how to write it so it doesn't!

To claim your free bundle of electronic books, please follow the personalized link in the email and check out at DriveThruComics.The bundle will show as $0. When you get to the page that says: “Your Order is Complete” be sure to click “download,” or “DropBox” to the right of the page. If you click on the book titles, they will take you to the book’s info page in the catalog, so don't do that.

If the email does not arrive then please check your spam folder. I suspect this is where a lot of these will wind up.

If you still do not get the email, and you have a DriveThruRPG account (under the email you provided us with your backer pledge or the email you asked us to change it to via our form), then you can go to this page on DriveThruRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/account_notification_inbox.php the free download link should be in your DriveThruRPG inbox there.

If you don’t have the email and you do not have a DriveThruRPG account, you can contact us at [email protected].

I hope everyone enjoys the comics! Thank you all so much!

If you would like to have your Girl Genius PDF Pile sent to a friend: Link and Slight Deadline Extension
7 months ago – Sun, May 05, 2024 at 07:50:30 PM

The PDF links will be sent on the evening of Tuesday, May 7, 2024 instead of Monday to give folks time to respond. Your PDFs download link will be sent to the email address you used for the campaign, but:

If you would like the complimentary PDFs to go to a different account than the one you backed the Kickstarter with, please fill out this form with the proper email address BEFORE THE END OF MONDAY, MAY 6, 2024.

 I'll go into my spreadsheet and change the recipient email by hand before I send the comps on Tuesday evening. Please be advised that this is a BUNDLE I'm sending out, and this is an experiment!  I'm already expecting it to get a bit hairy, so PLEASE be patient with me, and please don't ask me to send the comps out in bits and pieces.

NOTA BENE: This will not change the email address associated with your Kickstarter account, it will only affect where the PDFs go.

The PDFs will be provided via a personalized download link to DriveThruComics, which will be sent to the email address used in the campaign.  You'll need to follow the link, make an account if you don't already have one, and finish the checkout process. The PDFs will be free, you won't be charged.

I'm sorry for the mistake! Thank you all for your understanding!

And now, the Campaign Wallpaper Downloads!
7 months ago – Fri, May 03, 2024 at 07:42:15 PM

This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.

The campaign is over and it was fantastic!
7 months ago – Thu, May 02, 2024 at 07:18:53 PM

Thank you everyone, for another wonderfully successful campaign! I’m so pleased that we’ll be able to make our new collection, and also reprint all the books that we’re currently out of.

THE SPECIAL THANK-YOU WALLPAPER

The wallpaper will be posted soon! Phil just got it finished earlier this week, and now we’re waiting for Cheyenne to color it. I think it’s going to be a favorite! I’ll post another update with download links when it’s ready.

THE PDF PILE

Because of stretch goals, the reward for our “Photons Only” level has morphed from a single PDF of Vol. 21 into the mighty PDF Pile: now comprised of PDF Volumes 1-4 and 12-21!

PDF links will be sent on the evening of Monday, May 6, 2024.

The PDFs will be provided via a personalized download link to DriveThruComics, which will be sent to the email address used in the campaign.  You'll need to follow the link, make an account if you don't already have one, and finish the checkout process. The PDFs will be free, you won't be charged.

If you would like the complimentary PDFs to go to a different account than the one you backed the Kickstarter with, please fill out this form with the proper email address BEFORE THE END OF SUNDAY,  MAY 5, 2024.

     I'll go into my spreadsheet and change the recipient email by hand before I send the comps on Monday evening. Please be advised that this is a BUNDLE I'm sending out, and this is an experiment!  I'm already expecting it to get a bit hairy, so PLEASE be patient with me, and please don't ask me to send the comps out in bits and pieces.

NOTA BENE: This will not change the email address associated with your Kickstarter account, it will only affect where the PDFs go.

THE BACKER KIT PLEDGE MANAGER

Completing the form at our Backerkit pledge manager is necessary if you are getting physical rewards! Those who are only getting digital rewards can safely ignore it unless you decide you want some of our physical add-ons after all.

In a couple of weeks, our backers will get an email with a link to our Very Necessary Pledge Manager at BackerKit. Please be patient, it will take a couple of weeks for us to get everything finalized. I will post an update here when our BackerKit page is live.

And that’s all for now! I’ll be back soon with more updates; there is a lot of work to be done in the next month.

Once again, thank you all so much for your support, and thank you for reading our work!

More Rewards, Fulfillment Help, and the Teslagrad Campaign!
7 months ago – Sat, Apr 27, 2024 at 07:54:09 PM

Hello again! We only have four days to go, and thanks to you all, we’ve hit a lot of stretch goals! The Envelope of Madness is as full now as it was in our last campaign, and we still have a stretch goal or two to go that might add more.

In addition to the Envelope of Madness (EoM), we are also working on the PDF pile, which currently contains PDF versions of Volumes 1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 21. The PDF pile goes to backers at or above the $10 level, and its contents may grow as we hit more stretch goals!

Now that I know we’ve funded, I’m able to more confidently talk to the fulfillment houses that I contacted before we launched, so it looks like this time I won’t be doing all the shipping myself. This is good, it means things will go faster. I’m excited to work with them, and especially excited to not be packing and shipping everything myself.

Before I trundle back to the comics mines to get Monday’s Girl Genius page lettered, I want to make sure to tell everyone about Rain Games’ Teslagrad Kickstarter campaign that is going on right now. They’re hoping to bring out a physical edition of their two highly-rated Teslagrad games as well as some nice merch. It’s a great time to grab both games in physical form! I’m a little old-school in that I like to have my games on my shelf rather than stored digitally on a service like Steam, so I’m looking forward to this. Also, we hope that later they’ll do a similar campaign for Girl Genius merch, so I naturally want this one to do well! Back the Teslagrad campaign here!

And that's all I have for now! Thanks everyone, I'm off to get back to work!
