AMAZING!! Thank you all!!!
Guys! Thank you all so much for coming on this journey with us, and GREAT NEWS!! We're a little over 24 hours in and over 2/3 of the way to the goal! Let's keep it up -- and ...
Hey all!! Surveys and digital books for Cthulhu is Hard to Spell were sent out - if you didn't receive one or either, let us know at [email protected] and we're happy to send you your link!
Books are still at the printer. We were not happy with the first proof so we're getting another one with different cover stock to make sure we get you the highest possible quality! :)
We have the pins, are still waiting on socks, and toy packaging is being designed now! We're hoping to get everything shipped out in June. :)
Hey all!! Just an FYI that we added a question to the survey assuming it would only ask the remaining backers...but apparently it reset everyone's survey --- SO we apologize in advance as we did not know it would do that --- uh, and digital books are coming very soon!! Don't panic about the survey reset - we had not charged cards yet or done anything, so it MIGHT just ask you to re-confirm your stuff and go from there. So sorry about that!!
Thank you all so much for backing Cthulhu is Hard to Spell!! We surpassed our goal and actually attained the first stretch goal - the metal bookmark for all physical tier backers! It's been a fun and interesting ride trying out Backerkit for the first time as a crowdfunding platform!
We are putting some finishing touches on the book designs and extra stories, but should be sending out the digital files, as well as the shipping invoices, by the time the money gets to us in a few weeks! Books will be sent to printer shortly after that.
For those of you following but not backing the project who receive this update, we have spoken to a few of you and heard you - apparently some had trouble using the Backerkit crowdfunding app, or were confused or frustrated about our choice to switch over, so to make the rewards more accessible, we are offering a SECOND CHANCE campaign for this book over on Kickstarter, launching THIS MORNING at 8 am EST! It'll be available for just two weeks, so if you still want to participate, you can preorder the books and merch on that campaign: https://www.uhstudios.com/kickit2
Either way, we look forward to getting these books to you and we can't wait to show you what we have coming next for Cthulhu is Hard to Spell!!
We're moving along nicely, and this week we have a new CROSS-PROMO OFFER!! If you back THIS campaign AND Children of Gaia: Fantasy Game, Comic, and Coloring Book! you will receive a FREE copy of the "TarMucks: Origins" minicomic! (PDFs for those at digital levels, print copies for those at physical levels.) The comics are 12 pages, full color, and all about how humans drinking coffee keeps Cthulhu asleep.
Backers of both campaigns canleave a commenton the Children of Gaia campaign mentioning they backed both, along with the hashtag #ChildrenofCthulhu, and we'll add a copy of "TarMucks: Origins" to their rewards!
We have ALSO added two new types of coffee to our campaign for those who want some caffeine, courtesy of our buds at ONESHI PRESS:
TarMucks "Get Java" Coffee:
Pre-ground. Medium-dark roast (City+). Single-source beans from Honduras. Direct trade. Pollinated by bats & bees. No pesticides or GMOs.
Cthulhu and his kin thrive on dream energy, so keep yourself awake with your very own taste of TarMucks’ strongest medium-dark roast—Get Java! Notes of chocolate, walnut, and citrus.
TarMucks "Xtra Dark" Coffee:
Pre-ground. Dark roast. Single-source beans from Honduras. Direct trade. Pollenated by bats & bees. No pesticides or GMOs.
This most apocalyptic of brews lets you sit back with a cup of flavor that’s surprisingly mellow. Because, if you’re going to face down Cthulhu, you might as well enjoy getting caffeinated, first… Extra-dark roast for a smooth, chocolatey finish.
And a little love for one of our good friends, who is also helping us with this campaign: Kat Calamia!! She has eight days left on her stunning comics anthology about HAIR: BACK IT HERE RIGHT NOW!
Kat Calamia, Phil Falco (Bi Visibility: A Bisexual Anthology) and Jamila Rowser (Wash Day Diaries) unite to bring you a brand-new comic book anthology: HAIROLOGY! With a foreword from the legendary, Gail Simone (Batgirl, Birds of Prey).
There are 20+ involvedcreators, with the likes of Sterling Gates (Supergirl, The Flash), Sarah Leuver (Teen Titans Go!), Kenan Halilović (WEBTOON’s Witch Creek Road), Tilly & Susan Bridges (Monster High, Star Trek Adventures), Mary Crispies (WEBTOON’s Angel's Quest), Erin O'Neill Jones (Reject Squad), Brant Fowler (Last Ember Press), Salomée Luce-Antoinette (Nubia), and many more!
Everybody has their own unique and deeply personal relationship with their hair, so we wanted to create a platform for creators to tell their diverse stories.
Collecting twelve (12) original stories, Hairology tackles diverse topics including naturalhair, cancer, transitioning, bodyhair, dye, balding, and locs across a wide spectrum of genres which includes: action, sliceoflife, sci-fi, modern fantasy, autobiography, dystopia, and even werewolves!
Thanks to you all, we've done it! We've passed the goal and now we have some awesome stretch goals to contend with!! We listened to your feedback and are sticking to mostly upgrades related to the books -- so to start, at $15,000, we'll be giving ALL physical tier backers the awesome metal bookmark featured below for free! Much harder to lose thanks to how shiny, heavy, and metal it is, AND absolutely stunning to look at!!
We are also planning for a cool slipcase and spot UV upgrade to the books, but we'd be looking at $25k+ to cover the cost of the spot UV on all three books, and even more for the slipcases due to the minimum order quantity required and all sorts of fun stuff. But if we make the money, we'll MAKE YOU THE THINGS!!!
So, on to unlocking!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!!!
Also, some projects we love you guys should immediately check out:
SHARK OF WAR #1-6 has just four days to go and looks amazing for obvious reasons: LINK TO BACK IT!
Next, we have MISFITZ CLUBHOUSE:MEEKY, FERRY,SLOTHIE and STIG are BACK with 32 pages of nutty shenanigans in SHARKS, DRAGONS, and LITTLE RED WAGONS! BACK IT HERE NOW!
Guys! Thank you all so much for coming on this journey with us, and GREAT NEWS!! We're a little over 24 hours in and over 2/3 of the way to the goal! Let's keep it up -- and please, if you can, let your friends know about this project, as Backerkit does not have quite the audience that Kickstarter does just yet!
So we ALREADY HAD some ideas for stretch goals, but wondered what you guys thought -- would you rather get stuff like upgrades to the books, a slip case, signed bookplates, a metal bookmark (stuff for the books), or would you rather we offer more merch, like Cthulhu hoodies, leggings, or pyjama pants? Because we're really torn about this and our opinions could easily be swayed! Let us know what you think.
We also tried a few designs today...let us know!!
1) Leggings : 2) HYPNOLEGGINGS WITH POCKETS: 3) Pyjama Pants:
