Hello C20 backers!
RichT here:
As I mentioned at the beginning of this Kickstarter, we have been working with our book manufacturers at ways we could create an Ultra-Deluxe version of C20. The idea was to create a stained glass cover, somehow, as that was actually an idea I had way back with Changeling: the Dreaming first edition.
Just tonight I received a special delivery package containing their demo for how the stained glass effect could be achieved. It is not actually glass, nor are the colors created by individual pieces of material set between lead strips. We never thought that would be possible, anyway. But they have found what I think is a very good looking and convincing method of giving a cover the look of stained glass, so now I know we could create an Ultra-Deluxe cover for C20.
Here are two pics which may give you an idea, although I think they are less impressive than seeing it in person and feeling the raised "lead" lines:
So here now, at the last couple of days of this Changeling Kickstater, we have a chance to scorn the banality of running out of time. We have a chance to create something wondrous!
Here's how we are going to do this, please read carefully and to the end:
Unlike previous Onyx Path Kickstarters with the Ultra-Deluxe option, we are not going to create a Reward Tier featuring the C20 Ultra-Deluxe and we're not going to have you add on to your pledges during this Kickstarter.
Instead, please message me via the "Contact Me" link near my picture and let me know if you are interested in one or both of the following two options and how many books of any option you would like:
1) Upgrade your existing pledge from a standard Deluxe to an Ultra Deluxe (this will be about $275 more per Ultra).
2) Add an Ultra Deluxe or several to your existing pledge containing the physical book already (for about $385 per Ultra).
If you have already made a pledge, DO NOT change your pledge by these amounts!!!!!!
This is a different procedure than previous Ultra-Deluxes, so we do not want you doing what you might have done before, or changing your pledge like an Add-on product like the dice.
If you are pledging for the first time right now, choose one of our Reward Tiers on the right of the KS page, and then follow the above messaging procedure if you are interested in the Ultra-Deluxe C20.
We will be tallying the number of books from your messages and posting the current amount multiple times though the remaining days of this Kickstarter. If we reach 200 copies by the end of the KS, we will then be able to create the Ultra-Deluxe C20.
We are doing this in this way so that if we fail to reach the 200 copy minimum for printing, no one has any money to keep track of or to deal with.
If we do reach or go over the 200 copy minimum by the end of this KS, then we will let everyone know, and you will be asked to PayPal us the appropriate amount for your copies of the Ultra-Deluxe.
It is our intention to ship the Ultra Deluxe version of C20 with the standard Deluxe Edition packages whenever possible, but we have no set dates comparing manufacture times.
IMPORTANT FINAL NOTE! We will also be tallying the estimated amounts from your messages as well as the number of books. That extra amount of "Chimeric Pledges" will count towards reaching Stretch Goals and will also be announced multiple times during the next several days. If we reach and are paid for the 200 books printing minimum then we will deliver all the Stretch Goals the Chimeric Pledges attained as well!
You are very much a part of this often chaotic and crazy process of creation with the Ultra-Deluxe C20! We've brought it this far as fast and as creatively as we could, and now you have the chance to be the heroes who can truly make it happen!
