Hi everyone,
We recently crossed the 100-backer marker, and yesterday Kickstarter also named the campaign a Project We Love! That doesn't happen without your support, so thank you! Keep sharing the campaign, so we can hit our next two stretch goals, and add more stories and art!
Reminder to vote on the Table for the first wave of stories!
The vote for which Table of the Guild will be featured in the first wave of stories is ongoing. Cast your vote by leaving a comment on the main campaign page. I'll tally up the votes once we unlock the next stretch goal. Check out the previous update for more info about each Table, and here are the options again: New Amsterdam, Pavonia, Orange, and Breuckelen.
A campaign worth your tokens
My friend Megan Haskell has a campaign for her new fantasy book Quenched in Secrets! Check out those sprayed edges and go grab your copy now, because the campaign ends on Thursday!
Vengeance burns hot, but secrets cut deeper…
If you crave epic fantasy packed with hidden betrayals, resilient heroes, and worlds teetering on the brink of war, you'll love the first two books in The War of the Nine Faerie Realms trilogy. Back the campaign here.
First 2 stretch goals unlocked! Campaign recommendation!

Hi everyone,
We are heading into the first weekend of the campaign in great shape. We're currently 6 backers away from 100 and we've already unlocked 2 stretch goals:
Stretch Goal 1 - UNLOCKED: Guild flash stories part 1
See below.
Stretch Goal 2 - UNLOCKED: Interior artwork part 1
We unlocked the second stretch goal! The book will now feature at least one interior illustration my comic collaborator and friend Francine Deglado! Fran is the artist of our comic series Blood of Atlantis (which takes place in the same world as The Gauntlet).
Check out some of Fran's art here (give us a heart while you do) and spread the word, so we can add more art!
Vote for the first Table to be featured
There are 12 members of the Guild, each with their own interests and histories. 4 Tables, 3 Seats per Table. Get to know the Guild members through 12 flash fiction stories. The first 3 stories are now unlocked, but which Table should be chronicled first? It's your decision!
- The New Amsterdam Table: home of the Guild chair and the vacant Seat that the Gauntlet contestants are competing for
- The Orange Table: home of an ancient scribe, a mischievous schemer, and a friend to animals
- The Breuckelen Table: home of a playboy with a really nice (and magical watch), a bad girl with a heart of gold (kind of), and a woman who is more than she seems, in more ways than one
- The Pavonia Table: home of a crafter, a scientist, and the main character from Guild of Tokens and Guild of Magic
You can vote your Table of choice by leaving a comment on the main campaign page. I'll keep the voting open through the weekend. May the best Table win!
A campaign worth your tokens
Fake engagement, high-conflict, slower burn romance, modern magical world with political intrigue. Crescent City meets Jade City.
Great first day! First stretch goal revealed!
