Oren’s Forge VOL 1 - Kickstarter Tiers!

The first volume/chapter of the story is finished and (I hope) it’s time to put it into print!

Here’s a quick breakdown of the KickStarter Tiers/basic info!

Kickstarter will launch Tuesday April 27th at 3PM MST

You can go to the pre-launch page to be notified when it launches, but I will also post here!

Here’s the different Reward Tiers:

There will also be an “Early Bird” tier for the physical book+digital copy, at $25(+shipping) and limited to 100 people.

The KickStarter will end May 27th. 

BOOK ITSELF: I have priced it out to be printed at American comic standard size (~6.8” x 10.8”), with 85lb matte interior pages and a 14pt cover.

The only stretch goal will be to upgrade ALL copies of the book to hardcover. After that, money will be put toward printing the book a bit larger, perhaps a heavier paper stock for the interior, etc.

TIMELINE: I plan to spend a couple weeks on the layout/updating some older panels (if the project funds before it ends, I’ll get started on that right away so I can get it to the printer sooner.) From there, it’s a few weeks for a proof, around six weeks for production once the proof is approved, then 4-6 weeks to be shipped to me (estimated). I have an October delivery set in the KickStarter on the outside chance that everything goes wrong, but if everything goes as planned, it should be in your hands sooner!

And, heads up here… I’m sorry shipping will be high for folks overseas/outside the US. The book is likely to weigh a little bit more than 2LBS/0.9KG, which is the cutoff from “okay” international shipping to “ugh why.” (This is a learning experience on my part— if I ever try to Kickstart another book, I’ll keep it under 80 pages to alleviate the shipping cost. Plus side though: Oren’s Forge will be a meaty volume, versatile enough to read and enjoy, or crush cans.)

Thank you guys!
