Ship coins are almost done... I got a stack of ship coin proofs back today. I'm sharing them with you as-is, so you can get a feel for where we are. These look pretty good,  but I had a LOT of changes. Here's one of the proofs after I marked it up... (Read More)

By now you should have received an email with the following subject line: Schlock Mercenary - Challenge Coin Pledge Manager Link That email contains a URL that is tied to your email address, and it's the tool you'll use to give us your shipping... (Read More)

All the Pledge Manager links have been sent!  We've had over 600 responses already, so nearly 25% of you are already ordered up and checked out. This is awesome, and potentially escalates the speed with which we can start ordering coins. And now, a... (Read More)

We've funded, over-funded, and hyper-funded. You've unlocked everything I could think of, and forced me to think of so many new things I'm actually going to get fresh stories out of this. But it is DONE.  Next up? Three days of patience, wherein... (Read More)

IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: The 6 for $50 discount is available to all Kickstarter backers. HOWEVER! Backers at the $1 level only get the discount AFTER the first 6 coins (ensuring they don't get a lower price than higher pledge levels.)  The Pledge... (Read More)

We passed Stretch #10 today, which is where I promised you I'd add a ship coin to the add-ons. I've hit a small snag. I still have a book to get out the door, and the bonus material is sucking all kinds of creative cycles. I doubt I can turn the... (Read More)

I wanted to get these images to you weeks ago (you unlocked the 7-23 tool pretty early on) but they had to be perfect. Now they are. Here are the final proof images for the Maxim 11 Keydrop and the 7-23 Tool.   (Read More)

I am new to the challenge coin tradition, and like most newbies to a discipline, I've taken to researching it in order to avoid stepping on toes. I have never been issued a coin, I've never been present at a challenge, and I've only personally seen two such coins prior to launching this project, but now I'm approaching the level of "armchair expert."
