Oren’s Forge KickStarter!
4 years ago
The first stand-alone chapter of Oren’s Forge is finished (and it’s all up on my Patreon, by-the-by!) It comes in at 199 pages, including a short epilogue.
With it finished, it’s time (I hope) for a print edition!
It will be a meaty volume, coming in around 212 pages, with the full ~200 page story and some early concept work, character art, and work-in-progress stages.
*The KickStarter will launch TUESDAY at 3PM MST, April 27th!*
You can check out the pre-launch page here to get notified when it launches.
The first stretch goal will be to upgrade ALL copies of the book to hardcover.
Here’s a quick run-down of the Reward Tiers:
* Digital Only - A high-quality PDF of the full book ($15)
* Book + Digital Copy - A copy of the physical book, plus a digital one ($30 + shipping)
* Signed/Numbered/Bookplate Limited Edition - A copy of the book with a KickStarter exclusive bookplate, that is signed and numbered (#250), plus a digital copy. ($55 + shipping)
* Signed/Numbered/Bookplate + Original Artwork - The Bookplate signed/numbered edition, with a guaranteed low number, randomly selected from #5-10, plus a separate 5x7 ink original featuring a character from the graphic novel. ($200 + shipping)
There will be a limited (to 100) Early Bird Tier with a slight discount on the regular book for $25 (+ shipping)!
I’ll be posting more throughout the week, but if you wanted to get one of the limited Tiers, you can get notified when it launches!
Thanks guys! Let’s make an English print edition of Oren’s Forge happen!!

Yup! Only downside--shipping is little pricey, due to the book's weight.

An estimate? It isn't much of an issue but got me curious!

EU/UK is going to be $32, CA/Mexico is $25, everywhere else is $35. The book + packing materials will be right on/over the 2lbs/0.9kg cutoff, which makes overseas shipping go from "okay reasonable" to "ugh why." I played around for a long time with the book at different sizes and paper weights, but at 200+ pages, the only way to reliably keep the shipping low would be to have tissue thin interior pages (and I'm not about that for art books.) Live and learn, on my part. Shorter books in the future! ;]
