Project Update: 200k STRETCH GOAL UNLOCKED: ALL Physical Books Just Got a Huge Upgrade! Campaign Ends on Friday!
Saw "Weapons" last night, was a fantastic, phenomenal watch. My favorite part was when Jennifer Garner went on a 20 minute rant about whether or not an unarmed strike counts as a Weapon attack (spoiler alert: it does).
Can't wait for the sequel, "Spells." Zach Cregger is a genius.

My fellow Murkans,
We've reached the end of our second Great Murkan Road Trip, arriving in Nawlins and unlocking Sprayed/Illustrated Page Edges for ALL books. But don't you worry—the road trips aren't over. We still have another week left, so we'll have some ALL NEW Stretch Goals for the final week soon!
We have now unlocked:
We have now unlocked:
- 200k: Printable Spell Cards
These will easily be the most gorgeous books we have ever gotten to make. I am already drooling directly into my keyboard, which is causng me totype badle becaue is stickykeys.
Sprayed Edges for ALL Hardcover Books
The fancy pages are no longer limited to just the deluxe books; now, ALL our hardcover books will have decorated page edges! The designs will be different for standard and deluxe books:
- Standard Edition books will have a color-sprayed edge with a design that reflects the theme of the book
- Deluxe Edition books will have a foiled edge design that matches the color of foil on the front of the book, tying the entire thing together.
We're awaiting some samples from our printer to show some of the deluxe design elements, and as soon as we have them, you guys are gonna EXPLODE. I mean, not literally, because that would be bad for business. We'd have to shift our entire business model. Probably.
Reminder: FINAL Live Stream for Campaign End on Friday
We'll be doing our FINAL Live Stream on Friday, August 15th, at 10:00 AM Eastern, 7:00 AM Pacific, (THAT IS A NEW TIME, DOUBLE CHECK IT PLZ) where we'll be doing a full-on Monsters of Murka Jeopardy (Sony Entertainment plz no sue, is just a prank), Brad, CJ, and I will be playing a Jeopardy board where our knowledge of our own work will be tested (and found wanting, I'm sure, lmao). It's sure to be an over-the-top time, and we've got a lot of other stuff planned.
But Jaron, doesn't the Backerkit campaign end at 10:30 AM Eastern, 7:30 AM Pacific?
An astute observation, dear reader, yes it does! Backerkit has something called Overtime Mode which allows us to extend the campaign even after the end time, as long as backers are still rolling in. That means you guys can keep us on the hook as long as you want (potentially indefinitely! We may be trapped in a live stream shadow realm of our own making!).
Come hang out, chat with us, ask us some questions, and trap our immortal souls in a digital prison for the rest of time!
