3 Days Remain. 101 Backers & Counting. Can we hit our ULTIMATE stretch goal?
Howdy folks!
We woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise: we now have 101 backers! 🎉
We've also blown past our second stretch goal at $4,250, unlocking digital wallpapers...
We're getting close to the next big milestone for Old Sorcery. In three days (April 30, 2026), I'll be locking orders in BackerKit.
What this means for you:
If you've already completed your survey, your order will be locked so no further changes can be made (this helps us finalize production numbers accurately).
If you haven't completed your survey yet, you'll still be able to do so after we lock, but this is your last easy window to select your rewards, add any final add-ons, and provide your shipping details without needing to contact support later.
To keep everything moving smoothly and ensure you get exactly what you backed (plus any extras you'd like), please take a few minutes to complete your survey as soon as possible. BackerKit should have sent you a personalized link to your survey.
If you've already submitted everything, thank you, you're all set! No action needed.
We're really excited to get production rolling, and completing these surveys helps us hit our timelines so we can deliver your rewards as quickly as possible. If you run into any issues or have questions, just reply to this email.
Thank you again for your amazing support. It means the world to us!
I'm blown away. We closed our campaign with 148 backers and $6,670 raised! That was well beyond my planned "best case scenario." So, thank you! This wouldn't have happened without your support.
I'll send more detailed updates soon, but here's some reminders and estimates for when rewards will be fulfilled.
Important Reminders
Some payments did not go through. Double check your transaction so you get your rewards.
We will send out a survey to collect shipping addresses and which name you'd like printed in the book (for Journeyman, Grandmaster, and Assemble the Demon Shards tiers).
Shipping will likely be charged sometime in April, approximately 1 month before we plan on shipping rewards.
ETA
All eBooks are available right now. Contact [email protected] if you have trouble accessing your digital content.
Paperbacks and Book Club Boxes: We will order inventory in April and begin fulfilling U.S. domestic orders by May. International paperbacks will be sent directly from the printer.
Hardcovers: Same story but will take longer to ship, since we need to order these from the U.K.
Audiobook: This is in production and will be delivered via a BackerKit update in the coming months. Give us time, as this is a volunteer effort we're pursuing in our free time.
Thank you so much for your help in this. If you need anything, just give us a shout ([email protected])
We did it! Yesterday, we reached our final stretch goal which means every backer will receive the following in addition to their standard pledge rewards:
Digital wallpapers of Callan's hand-drawn map
The Old Sorcery audiobook
Four DRM-free Arcanist eBooks
That's an incredible result, and it's entirely thanks to your support.
Now, here's what happens next: we're going into Overtime.
BackerKit's Overtime feature means the campaign doesn't end at a hard deadline. Instead, the timer resets each time a new pledge comes in. The campaign will only close once a full period passes with no new backers. So if you've been waiting, or know someone who'd love to jump in, there's still time; every new pledge keeps the door open a little longer!
Thank you all so much. I am admittedly experiencing a bit of shell shock. We are supremely humbled by your support.
This is it. We're in the final 48 hours of the campaign. And the timing couldn't be better: our test copy of the Hardcover just arrived, and we couldn't wait to show you what's inside.
