Hey Backers,
We're halfway through our campaign and we're doing great! To keep the momentum we have decided to add in an extra reward tier. Also the comic is coming along great and we're close to finishing penciling and starting on inking soon. We'll be posting a couple of the ink pages up on our Instagram page soon.
Commission Sketches!
(Limited to 5)
Our artist Hammling wanted to keep drawing our awesome backers but unfortunately we've run out of space in the book. So we've decided to sell five commission sketches! The sketch photos will be done on a 100 lb 5" x 7" bristol paper and signed by Hammling! It will also come with a physical copy of issue 1 and one family crest enamel pin of your choice.

We also wanted to shout out a couple of other great campaigns. Check them out!
Circadia #5
Per their page: Zara is pretty sure her dream lover, a non-binary assassin named Aderes, is just that: a dream. A delightful figment of her imagination that comes to visit every night as she sleeps — no doubt conjured up due to a distinct lack of a social life and way too many long days spent at the barre trying to hold on to her spot in the ballet company. But when strange occurrences in her dreams start to have real world consequences, and once pleasant dreams twist into nightmares, Zara realizes that the line separating her waking and sleeping life might be blurrier than she thought…
Circadia is a 5-issue story presented anthology style with a different team of queer women and non-binary artists showcasing their talents across each issue.
Each issue of Circadia is 22 full-color pages. A large portion of the work has been paid for out of pocket, so the biggest hurdles left are printing and shipping costs. Issues 1-4 are already complete, but we need your help to make Circadia's 5th and final issue a reality!
What's Beyond Milford Green about?

Fully Funded!!! + Stretch Goals!

Hey Backers,
WOOOOO! We’re fully funded! With over 100% funding and over 100 backers, we could not be happier! We couldn't have done it without your support. So the question now is, where do we go from here? Well, we’re glad you asked.
Stretch Goals.
We put together some stretch goals that we thought were cool for our backers. For those of you that don’t know what stretch goals are, they’re targeted goals throughout the remainder of the campaign in which we aim for a specific funding amount. If we reach that amount, we commit to doing something extra for all our backers! Here’s our first set of stretch goals and an explanation for what each entails:
First we wanted to celebrate our first issue by adding in additional content for the physical books. Get exclusive sketches, concept art and lore added to the first issue.
Second we have a new shirt design. You can now choose between 4 awesome shirt designs. We've also added in extra reward tiers in case you can't choose between them.
Third we want to add in more monsters for the bestiary. If we meet this goal, we will be increasing the bestiaries page count to a whooping 30 pages.
Finally we want to give out a mystery enamel pin with every physical copy of our first issue. As fans of legacy games we thought it would be fun to make a pin that should be opened only after the first issue has been read.
We’ve already managed to reach $4k in a week, if we all continue to spread the word about this campaign, we can certainly hit $10k by the end of the next 20 days!
