The boards are playing hob with the Kickstarter link at the moment, but I wanted to mention again that the Kickstarter for Quest #2 launches on Monday - here's the link to the pre-launch page.But I mainly wanted to share the Tabletop RPG Edition cover for this issue, which D&D fans will recognize as an homage to the classic "Keep on the Borderland" cover by Jim Roslof!  It's coming down to the wire, but now that this is done, I should have time to get the actual Kickstarter page done before launch on Monday! 😁 I'm a bit nervous for this one, as the first issue underperformed a little and I've been having a lot of trouble getting pre-launch followers for this second issue. For the first I had over 120 by launch; for this one, we're only at 76. The last time I ran a campaign at this time of year it also was my most difficult one, so we'll see. I won't be shocked if this is my first campaign that fails to fund on the first try, but who knows. It can be difficult to guess how these campaigns are going to go. 🤷♂️ |

Well, there are just 29 hours left in the campaign, and we're still not quiiiiite funded. Right now we're $15 away from funding, but it's been a roller coaster - we already funded once, and then someone dropped a pledge and we fell back below the funding mark. So it's still not there just yet, but hopefully soon! 🤞 |

Not coming here to promote, just vent I guess. Vent's not the right word really, but boy. This campaign has been the hardest I've done. I've done more promotion on this than anything I've done before, just hours and hours and hours for months on end trying to make sure this one does well. It's just been a brutal grind, and right now I'm not sure we're going to fund at all. It's really, really discouraging to spend like 5 straight hours doing videos and posts and emails and stuff and the result is someone cancels a big pledge and you go backwards by $100 or more, erasing days of slow gains. That's happened twice so far this campaign and it makes you feel like you're really wasting your time. I really appreciate all the support from everyone here, not just buying the comic, but more importantly just the community here. It's hard to find as much time as I'd like to post here when I'm busy around the clock fighting for every backer to get these comics printed. Days like today it feels like I would have been better using my time just talking about comics instead of making them. The crowdfunding process is really hard work, and just super discouraging.  Anyway, that's it, thanks for listening. I love everything about making comics except this part, but without this part I can't afford to make more than one a year, so... yeah. I'm going to try and figure out how to make Quest cheaper in the future so it's easier to hit my funding goal, but for now I'm going to spend the rest of the week until the campaign ends Friday night just screaming into the void of social media. |

Looking ahead is important, but don't forget to take a glance back at all you've already accomplished too. |

Not sure if it will yield any results, but in the last 2 days I've posted the KS link and a blurb about it on my Twitter, Mastadon and Bluesky with appropriate comics and ttrpg tags, and to a handful of comic and/or ttrpg FB groups we are a part of. I really dug the first 2 issues and want to see #3 (and more).
