2nd Sketch Card Reveal!

Hey guys!! We've got 5 days left to go and still 2 stretch goals to hit! I know we can do it!
In the meantime, since we've hit $16k, that means I have a new sketch card for you!
The sketch cards will be 4"x6", printed on premium cream heavy linen card stock. The above are very simple mockups -- they won't have that much texture!
If we hit $20,000, each signed book tier will have one sketch card chosen at random, or you can upgrade to the whole set in BackerKit!
Word of mouth is, by far, the most important factor in a project's success -- so please, share with friends and family and anyone who you think would like it! We've got a fair bit to go if you want those messenger bags!
FIVE DAYS LEFT! LET'S DO IT!
Variant Cover: Achieved!

WE DID IT!! The variant cover stretch goal has been achieved!! With just over a week left, and only 2 more stretch goals to go!
The next stretch goal is for Tamberlane sketch cards that will be included in all signed books! These were a way for me to provide some nice sketches without pushing myself to draw them each by hand. There will be one included at random with each signed book, though if you want a whole set, it will be available in BackerKit when you fill out your survey! ... IF we reach that goal, that is!
The first sketch card has been revealed; the next 4 will be shown at each $1,000 marker between here and $20k!
We're close to the end here, folks! Share the campaign around -- it really, really does help! And thank you so much for your support!

Hey guys!! I hope you've been having a wonderful August! It's time for a good ol' fashioned mid-Kickstarter update!
First off, we are getting SO CLOSE to the variant cover stretch goal!! Just over $1,000 to go and then Minty will make her magic happen!
As far as other stretchy goals are concerned, most of the backer achievements have been pretty quiet! If you want to get more sticker designs, more print designs, and more, be sure to retweet, share, and tell stories about Tamberlane!
In case you missed it, we also have a fanworks contest going! Submit your art/writing/music/voice acting/whatever before the Kickstarter is over and have a chance to win some great prizes! All of the Supporter Tier bundles are gone now, but you can still win one for the grand prize! For more information, check out the rules over here.
Do you like animation? Cute Fuzzy Animal Adventures?
That's it for this update! Thank you SO MUCH for supporting this Kickstarter, and for sharing it with your friends and family. It really really means a lot, and it really does help! I'm so looking forward to getting these books into your hands!!
Have a good one, my friends!

Hooray!!! You guys, we've hit the FIRST STRETCH GOAL!
Pencil pouches will be available to add onto your pledge during the survey! Collector's tier can choose it as their unlockable item choice, and of course Supporter's tier gets everything, including this!
The next stretch goal is a variant cover, unlocked at $15,000! These will ONLY be available through this campaign. The beautiful cover will be drawn by Minty Messerly!
Here's a sneak preview of the concepts she's come up with. We'll be choosing one as soon as the stretch goal is reached!

Your Cry Has Been Answered: PDFs!

Having watched activity over the last few days, I have decided to roll back the Digital Tier backer achievement requirements to what I had originally intended. See, while I was prepping for this Kickstarter, I unexpectedly had a tweet go viral and suddenly the engagement on my account went way higher for a few days. I added an extra 0 to the requirements as a way to anticipate that extra traffic.
But everyone knows viral isn't forever ;) And the Retweets are back to about what I originally expected, which is far short of viral territory. (It's not a very viral tweet, after all!)
So, as such, the requirement to unlock PDFs for every tier (as well as 2 new digital tiers!) is now 100 Retweets instead of 1000. And wouldn't you know it, we've already hit that!
So as of now, PDFs are now included in every tier, and 2 new digital-only tiers have opened up!
Why didn't I include PDFs to begin with? Well, in the past, digital backers made up a very very very small amount of backers. But it seems that number has gone up! I've received lots of inquiries about digital tiers, and with the price of international shipping, it's no wonder.
As always, Kickstarters are trial and error, and I'm trying a lot of new things with this one. Thank you for speaking up and letting me know what you want!
