Bonus Items & Finale Livestream

September 16th - via: kickstarter.com
Never in my life will I forget this day. Waking up to a shockingly high amount of pledges. All the people having a party in the comments. Reaching $40K when I fetched my son from the daycare. And the day isn't over yet. Will we reach 1000 backers?... (Read More)

Disbelief and Fanart!

September 16th - via: kickstarter.com
It's really hard for me to comprehend what's currently happening. I guess I just want to welcome all you new backers and thank you for making this campaign so exeptionally successful in these final hours. I can't believe that we're standing right... (Read More)

300%, 900 Backers, and Wonderful Fanart!

September 15th - via: kickstarter.com
Really, I must say I'm totally lacking the words to describe how I'm feeling right now. When we were right before the map stretch goal - the day before yesterday - and the pledges came in a little bit slower - you can see the dent there in the chart... (Read More)

35 Hourse To Go & Fanart!

September 15th - via: kickstarter.com
I had a sizeable shock this morning when I saw that we already were past the $35K. This is absolutely crazy! The 300% actually come into reach. I have to let that sink in a little bit and in the meantime we can all enjoy some wonderful fanart. By... (Read More)

September 14th - via: kickstarter.com
We're sooo close to reaching the poster map stretch goal! Chances are that tonight we'll all be able to celebrate the unlocking of the newest freebie live in our cross-campaign video livestream with Jason Brubaker of Sithrah.  In about 8 hours from... (Read More)

72 Hours Left & Fanart!

September 13th - via: kickstarter.com
Oh, man! It always freaks me out like hell when kickstarter starts to count in hours instead of days. We now have 3 days left (yes, 72 hours are THREE days, Daniel. Calm down!) and about $1000 to go to reach the map poster stretch goal. We can do... (Read More)

Video Livestream Rescheduled & More Fanart!

September 12th - via: kickstarter.com

Video Livestream Announcement

September 11th - via: kickstarter.com
In the last 24 hours another $1900 have been added to our funding and the map now really comes close. To be honest, I fired up Photoshop today and did some initial sketching for the new map. JUST IN CASE! I'm very happy to be able to announce that... (Read More)

Dust Jacket Unlocked & Fan Art!

September 11th - via: kickstarter.com
You know no mercy with those stretch goals! The dust jacket (I learned that this is a more fitting term for it) is now part of every package! We're already a good step closer to the map stretch goal and we're only 12 hours away from the last update.... (Read More)

New Stretch Goals

September 10th - via: kickstarter.com
Can you believe that it was yesterday when we reached the $24K mark? I mean, SERIOUSLY, how am I supposed to set up a stretch goal that is not already reached if you're going at this speed!? Ok, gotta be fast now because, while I'm typing, new... (Read More)

How To: Deluxe Upgrade

September 10th - via: kickstarter.com
I realized that in yesterday's euphoria I've totally forgotten to clearly communicate how you can upgrade your book to the new Deluxe Edition. So, here is how it's meant to work: There are no seperate reward tiers for the Deluxe Edition of the... (Read More)

An EPIC Day!

September 9th - via: kickstarter.com
Today was by far the most extraordinary day I've ever experienced on kickstarter as a creator (and probably even as a backer). Over $3000 were pledged by you in the last 24 hours and the lion's share of that in the last 8 hours. We're literally off... (Read More)

It's DONE!

September 9th - via: kickstarter.com
This is the craziest day I've EVER experienced on kickstarter. About one hour ago I couldn't bear the tension anymore and encouraged you to upgrade to the Deluxe Edition. Right now we've already shot over $250 beyond the 200% mark.  The DELUXE... (Read More)

We're so close! Let's just do it!

September 9th - via: kickstarter.com
You know, I'm a complete number freak. If patterns line up the right way it gives me a weird kind of satisfaction. As I'm writing this, we're $777 away from the 200% mark. Tonight at 10pm German time (about 7,5 hours from now), there will be 7 days... (Read More)

Welcome Geek Dads!

September 5th - via: kickstarter.com
I'm already feeling much better today. Thanks to everyone who wished me well!  So, we've passed the $20K mark which puts the next stretch goal right in front of us. It can't be long now before we reach it and my feeling is that a lot of you are... (Read More)

Creator Catched the Cold, Backers Hunt the Goals!

September 4th - via: kickstarter.com

Patience is a Virtue

September 2nd - via: kickstarter.com
Well, I guess we're all waiting for that stretch goal to be reached. It wasn't meant to happen today and I don't have anything meaningful to share with you before it happens.  So, let's just wait a little bit longer before that chart explodes with... (Read More)

Half-Time!

September 1st - via: kickstarter.com
The first half of this campaign is now over and with 144% of the funding goal we're in a pretty good position I would say. And another number needs to be celebrated: today the number of backers surpassed the number of backers my last campaign had,... (Read More)

Welcome into the new week!

September 1st - via: kickstarter.com
It's Monday morning over here in Germany and I'd like to give you a little update about the weekend activity before there will be the bigger update tonight when we will actually reach the half-time mark of this campaign.  We've made another $1000... (Read More)

Full Speed into the Weekend!

August 29th - via: kickstarter.com
I've spent some time today to craft a little prototype of the item that will be revealed when we reach the next stretch goal. I think it will take us a few more days until we can hope to reach it but you never know (you catched me ONCE over the... (Read More)

Fanart - Call for Submissions!

August 29th - via: kickstarter.com
I totally forgot to mention it in yesterday's update and of course you need to be informed about this as soon as possible. As I already mentioned, I'd like to put all new fanart into the English Wormworld Saga book. Therefore I've sent out an open... (Read More)

First Stretch Goal Reached!

August 28th - via: kickstarter.com
This was hilarious. One hour before I had to post this update we were $100 away from the stretch goal. So I fired up Facebook and Twitter and made sure that people would know how close we are. 5 minutes before the time was up the stretch goal was... (Read More)

14K and a new reward for print addicts!

August 27th - via: kickstarter.com
We're still shooting upwards, right towards the first stretch goal that is now hardly $1000 away. It's absolutely amazing to watch this and I'm so greatful for everyone who supports this campaign. I've added a new reward tier for those who just... (Read More)

Stretch Goals!

August 26th - via: kickstarter.com
Alright, this day was completely crazy! Since yesterday we've made $2000 in new pledges and I simply didn't see that coming. I'm actually happy that I'm able to post the first stretch goals BEFORE we've already reached the first one. So, here we... (Read More)

August 25th - via: kickstarter.com
I hope you all had a nice weekend! We had a family trip into the countryside and it was relaxing to get away from the computer for a day. However, other people obviously spent their time in front of their screens. I guess a lot of you checked your... (Read More)

August 23rd - via: kickstarter.com

Day 4 brings custom rewards!

August 21st - via: kickstarter.com
Ok, after 4 days we can now officially say that we leave the start phase and enter the middle phase of the campaign where things start to move slower. I'm experiencing this for the third time now but it's still a bummer when you have to say goodbuy... (Read More)

Day 3 and still going strong!

August 20th - via: kickstarter.com
 I'm happy to report that on our third day we're still heading pretty directly towards that funding goal which now isn't too far away. There were some slow hours today (HA, who am I kidding! It was 8 hours without any pledge and I've been a NeRvOuS... (Read More)

Halfway done and new reward tiers!

August 19th - via: kickstarter.com
