I am always amazed by the generosity of you backers and the opportunities you give me and other creators to make our wild visions a reality! Michael Greer (the character artist) and I have had a blast making these crazy-fun characters for this project. I was not sure this would even fund (it's the sort of thing I desperately wanted as a con-going GM, but I wasn't sure many others had that desire). Now, not only is it funded, but I have a lot of hope we will see one or more extra characters pop up in the final project through stretch goals.
When we get a bit closer, I will open the polls, and we can vote to see where your guys' interests lie for the bonus characters. That goal unlocks at $2000. I will also be using any money brought in via the $5 add-on to try and add more art to this project. I'm not sure what that will look like right now. It may be illustrations in some of the open space on the pages of equipment charts, etc. I may just spring for some random "weirdo" characters (like a Post-Apocalyptic Wizard built with DCC), or we may polish up some of the sheet's background elements with additional art to make them a little better.
For those of you that got in this campaign within the first 48 hrs, you get a free Level-2 Robot based on C. Aaron Kreader's Robot class in his adventure, "Die, Robot!" He sent in the art for this character, and I'm giving you a preview below. If you missed this bonus, I will put this up as an add-on (for just a few bucks) during fullfillment. Aaron has also agreed to be on hand if the Robot class is chosen for the stretch goal (to do the other illustrations)! If that becomes the case, I would commission a new special character for the 48 hr backers, so that they still get a special thanks.
Again, thanks for all you've done to get the word out and all your investment in this project!

This Level 2 Robot will go out free to all backers in the first 48 hours!
AT 101 backers we will add an optional, illustrated back for the character sheets with space to record details about powers, wetware, skills, and artifacts.
