Project Update: 48 Hours & 48 Reasons to Back Gundak Means War!

Dearest Gudnakians,

WE ONLY HAVE 48 HOURS LEFT TO BACK GUDBAK MEANS WAR!!

To celebrate (wait why am I celebrating?) this I've come up with 48 dynamite and awesome reasons to back this project. ALL OF THEM ARE TRUE.

  1. Tim, founder of Chaotic Great and also me, is cool
  2. Gudnak, the world in which Gudnak Means War is set, is really cool!
  3. Ian, co-founder of Chaotic Great, is not as cool as Tim
  4. Reading is cool!
  5. Ian is not as cool as reading
  6. There are like 7 stories in it. Thats such a great deal
  7. Speaking of deals, on a per word basis its basically free
  8. Some of the stories are about the Refractory!
  9. Only one of the stories is about the stupid Gloaming
  10. As of 2025, you are allowed to eat pizza while reading Gudnak Means War
  11. You get promo cards for backing Gudnak Means War!
  12. One of the authors,  Ed Greenwood might be a wizard. I can't imagine not backing would put you on his good side
  13. One of the authors, John Roland, might be a pirate. See above.
  14. One of the authors, Jerry Holkins, plays a documancer in a decades long D&D campaign. Think of like a devil but for employing adventurers. Idk how this relates I've lost the plot.
  15. The Rotborn are in this book! They are SUPER COOL
  16. Ian is not as cool as the Rotborn
  17. When reading the back cover of this book, 35% of people chuckle slightly. A further 12% smile knowingly. 4% express disgust. The rest are devoid of emotion and should be treated with disdain.
  18. My 10th grade English teacher once gave me a -40 on a book report and now I am a book publisher. I don't hold grudges why do you ask?
  19. Nobody has yet to secure the film rights for Gudnak Means War and maybe its a business opportunity you should pursue.
  20. You have a long flight coming up (I think) and the TVs are definitely going to be out. I will make sure of it.
  21. You have a long commute to work on a train and want to appear cool to your fellow train passengers
  22. You have a short commute to work on a train and have the same problems.
  23. You have a medium-length commute to work on a train and no I'm not running out of ideas
  24. Ok yes I am running out of ideas
  25. You like the idea of gold foil stamped books
  26. You are curious whether or not its real gold (its not) and want to see if you can melt it (you cant) into a bracelet or necklace (please dont)
  27. We're an independent creator and not some faceless book publisher like the evil giant publisher Penguin Books, whose nefarious plans to promote literacy must be stopped
  28. You actually like Penguin Books and think Tim might have made that last one up
  29. Your name is Kakalar and it would be neat to read a story about someone named Kakalar and imagine its you
  30. On a similar note you are either a High Priestess of Solara, a Duchess in the kingdom of the Everking or a goblin archer.
  31. You wish to escape to a world with a dying sun because it sounds so cozy
  32. You are my biological parent and/or a friend of my biological parent and you just want to support your handsome boy
  33. You are Ian's biological parent and want to support Ian despite everything in your gut saying you probably shouldn't. 
  34. You plan to create some sort of religion
  35. You want to use Gudnak for your RPG campaign and need NPC inspiration
  36. It's Monday and Mondays are for backing books in your country
  37. It's not Monday (e.g. you are reading this on Tuesday) and not-Monday is the best day for backing books, specifically special editions
  38. You were told backing GMW (Gudnak Means War) would put an end to a long standing curse
  39. Buying GMW and reading it to strangers technically fulfills your obligation for court-ordered community service
  40. You pan to use GMW in the background of your streaming studio in hopes it will make your channel take off (good luck you got this)
  41. You um, like orcs? Yeah! There are orcs please back this book
  42. You plan to reference GMW in the vows of your upcoming wedding
  43. Your friend owns the regular version of GMW and you think owning the deluxe edition will really mess with them
  44. Steve told you to buy it. Always trust Steve
  45. If GMW backerkit passes $10,000 Tim will personally make sure Ian never gets the promos from this campaign which will make hi furious
  46. Tim will look at your name on the backer list and say "Nice" when you back
  47. Tim will be able to finally sleep
  48. Tim needs this we're  worried he's going insane

-Tim
