Project Update: Final Copies of Issue One Now available, Pay Over Time, and Synths Against Sorcery!
Hello hello!
- The final copies of issue one have been recovered! In a previous update we mentioned how we were trying to recover the last few issues from a distributor. Luckily, we did but there's now only 30 copies left and once they're gone that's it.
Now is the ideal time to collect a complete run of issues 1-10 via the following pledge options:
Gimme All Your Issues: Softcover
Gimme All Your Issues: MOSTLY Hardcover
Gimme EVERYTHING You've Got! (SOFTCOVER)
Gimme EVERYTHING You've Got! (MOSTLY hardcover)The final half-box!
It is also possible to grab issue 1 as an Add-On. - "Pay Over Time" has been requested by some backers, and so we have activated it. Any pledge for $150 or more can now be paid for in four monthly installments with no interest or other complications.
This is where you will see Pay Over Time mentioned in the pledging process. - Our next livestream is SYNTHS AGAINST SORCERY, a riotous good time centered on the very S&S genre of Dungeon Synth. It will including live music by and interviews with notable individuals in the scene. The stream begins at 7pm EST, this Thursday right at the top of the crowdfund page.
- Thanks to our most recent artist raise stretch goal, all backers will now receive digital phone & desktop backgrounds of Jimmy Makepeace's cover art for issue 8!
One lucky backer whose pledge got us over the line will also be receiving a vintage S&S magazine from my personal collection.
Next up is an author pay raise which will get backers an original piece of flash fiction by June Orchid Parker, starring her Suplex & Sorcery protagonist, Varika! Meanwhile the lucky backer whose pledge gets this raise over the finish line will earn a short story critique by Jeremy Pak Nelson to either use on a story of their own or gift to a writer friend.
Thank you once again for supporting and spreading the word about this year's crowdfund for New Edge Sword & Sorcery. it feels incredible to have achieved so much and still have just under half the crowdfund left to go!
Keep your swords sharp and your sorcery numinous,

I was just glancing at the digital everything tier and I don't know if it's a mistake or not but I see issues 1-3, 5-10 and the "issue 0" but not issue 4? Is that an accidental omission from the tier?

Back in the pulp days, you saw a lot of genre bleed between Sword & Sorcery and other genres, the boundaries and borders of things like "Weird Fiction" and "S&S" and "Sword & Planet" and so on and so on created some really fruitful strange pairings with other genres. What are some of your favourite genre blending/bending S&S stories/novels/etc?

I am on disability and can't afford big lump amounts like the tiers that I would love here, is there a reason y'all don't have Pay-Over-Time options enabled like other backerkit campaigns? That is often how I am able to afford cool projects like this which would normally be out of my reach financially, where I can still give y'all the $$ you deserve but have it be within my means. Is this something you can't enable once the campaign is ongoing, like has to be enabled ahead of time type of deal? If it's something you can enable during the campaign, I would love to be able to support y'all because this is a super cool thing you're doing here that's way up my alley! If not, I'll chuck my dollar of "not getting anything but y'all are neat" at you anyway. But it sure would be nice to up my tier from a dollar to a few hundred dollars, in a way I can afford like I do with other crowdfunding campaigns that give me that option!
