Stretch Goal and Ultra-Deluxe update
over 8 years ago
– Mon, Jan 11, 2016 at 09:28:41 AM
Hi, folks. Rose here. ^_^ Here are the current ultra-deluxe figures:
Option 1 - Upgrade your deluxe copy: 90 backers
Option 2 - Order an Ultra-Deluxe in addition to your Deluxe copy: 27 backers
Total Ultra-Deluxe Copies: 117
Chimeric Pledge Total: $35,145
As you can see, we're doing well, but will need a bit more of a push to make this happen -- we need 200 copies. If you'd like an ultra-deluxe, please follow the instructions here.
Meanwhile, we just passed $350,000, enabling us to add an expanded look at the Seelie and Unseelie Courts into the main C20 book!
Up next, at $380,000, we'll work with Jackie Cassada, author of the original Immortal Eyes trilogy, on a brand new installment. The PDF and ePub versions will be sent to everyone who pledged for a reward tier including a C20 PDF.
Thank you for your support! Just 23 hours left!
24 hour warning -- Check your pledges!

Hi, Rose here. ^_^
Please, PLEASE, take a moment between now and the end of this Kickstarter in about 24 hours and review your pledge. I know it sounds unnecessary because you're on top of it and/or it's annoying to get multiple warning messages, but every single one of these cases below has happened to backers during one of our other KSs- even after we did multiple warnings.
The simple fact is that we at Onyx Path have so little control over fixing any slip in your pledging once the KS is over, even though we really want to make every aspect of your Kickstarter experience with us fun, that it would be a real shame if you didn't get the rewards you expect.
1) Did you pledge to the Reward Tier that offers you the rewards you want? Go through the description and make sure the rewards are mentioned there. They are not cumulative with the Reward Tiers before them.
2) Does the Reward Tier you pledged to get the Stretch Goals you want? All of our Stretch Goals let you know which backers are to receive them in their descriptions (and if they are part of a project that is itself a Stretch Goal reward, then that project will note which backers receive it).
3) Did you manually add money to the base amount of your Reward Tier pledge for the Add-ons you want? We'll send out the official KS Survey soon after this KS is over that will contain spots to let us know what Add-ons you want, but you have to have had added the money yourself, manually, to the pledge before the KS is over. We can't add Screens or what have you after the KS closes.
Please note that you should not add money for the ultra-deluxe. If you want one or more copies of the ultra-deluxe, follow the instructions here.
4) Did you make sure that your payment method is valid? Is your credit card maxed out? Kickstarter will mark your pledge non-collectible and you won't get your Rewards. Did you borrow the card and they decided to block the charge because you had a fight? There's a limited window to resolve payment issues with KS, but there's no guarantee that resolution will be what you want. Better to make sure your payment method will work now.
That covers the typical trouble spots and we'll be answering your questions in the comments or more directly via that "contact me" link next to Rich's picture for the rest of the KS.
Pay bump achieved! Up next: Court Expansion and new Immortal Eyes novel!

Hi, everyone, Rose here. Hope I'm not bothering you being in your inboxes so much today. ^_^
Reaching $330,000, you've enabled us to give a 15% pay increase to freelancers on C20. As a writer on other projects, I can tell you this means a lot to the team.
Up next, at $350,000, we'll add an expanded look at the Seelie and Unseelie Courts into the main C20 book. This has been much-requested in the comments, so I'm looking forward to it.
After that, at $380,000, we'll work with Jackie Cassada, author of the original Immortal Eyes trilogy, to create a new installment. The PDF and ePub versions will be sent to everyone who pledges for a reward tier that includes a C20 PDF.
Less than two days left! Can't wait to see what happens!
UPDATE: A previous version of this post incorrectly stated that Immortal Eyes was the $350k goal.
