Hello Everybody!

We are about 3 months past the end of the funding campaign for StoryGuider, and, so far: 

One of those new story sets is The Tome Traveller Trilogy, which features a library cat who works with magical, living books!  This series is being illustrated by Juno, and I'm excited to share some of their sample sketches here as a sneak peek!

From a timeline standpoint, things are on track with a small amount of built in buffer being used to do a bit more review on some of the art submissions, but we should be good (I leave in some extra space for things like this).  I have a detailed timeline in today's TTRPGkids Dev Log, which also showcases TWO upcoming projects!  This is my official announcement for Begamed Brochures (launches May 2026), which will be my next project after Mystery Snacks (launches Feb 2026).

You can expect the next project update in February, at which time, I should have books going through prototype printing and surveys about ready to go for fulfillment prep!

We're just 90 minutes away from the end of the campaign and are so excited to be bringing this project to life. Thanks to everyone for making this our largest comic campaign ever!

We're only about $600 away from our next stretch goal PLUS Suncrest is currently sitting at 81% of our engagement points to get everyone who backs a Suncrest project a freebie digital zine.

If you have anyone that you know would love Bound by Words or any of the other projects in Printopia let them know! As long as the backer train is moving the campaign will stay live in overtime mode!

While we're hard at work on Bound by Words, we also have a few other comics in the pipeline. We've dropped a poll below, let us know what sounds the most interesting.

(All the projects below are in development. These are working titles)

Comic #1: Phantom of the Space Opera - (Sci-Fi Sapphic Romance)

After the last war ended, a decommissioned battle station was turned into an opera house as a gesture of peace for the galaxy. But the deadly AI still haunts the ramparts behind the stage causing trouble for the new owners -- the wealthy elite of a crime syndicate. Christine will need all the wits, skill, and vocal talent she has to infiltrate the opera house, take down the syndicate, and become the opera's new leading lady.

Comic #2: Red Beer Inn (Fantasy Adventure/Gay Romance)

Dunstan, a good-hearted but down-on-his luck dwarf and Hank, a cynical ex-cleric orc, couldn't be more different. But when they discover an abandoned baby human girl, they resolve to raise her together. Hijinks ensue as they try to live a life of adventure before settling down to run a tavern. But their pasts are never too far behind them. Will their love be strong enough to overcome it all?

Comic #3: La Navaja (Crime Drama/Sapphic Romance)

In New York City, a powerful crime boss known as La Navaja (The Knife) ruthlessly protects her community by keeping the gangs there in check. When external forces draw her into conflict with the Mafia, she must join forces with a policewoman to keep her family safe and to root out corruption in the city.
