With the announcement earlier today that I may (and hope to) write an Exalted novel as a stretch goal for the Exalted Third Edition Kickstarter, it’s time to tally up the list that shows I’m becoming the unofficial king of stretch goals (a title I never aspired to as a child). So far, the following full dozen Kickstarter drives have successfully added my work as a stretch goal:
- Rite Publishing’s Lords of Gossamer and Shadow
- Caias Ward’s Trigger Happy
- Paradigm Concept’s Witch Hunter
- Robin Laws’s Hillfolk
- James Wallis’s Alas Vegas
- John Wick’s Wicked Fantasy
- Savage Mojo’s Dungeonlands
- Christian and Jody Lindke’s Cthulhu Claus Greeting Cards
- Gareth Michael-Skarka’s Far West
- Stone Skin Press’s Fiction Anthologies
- Zombie Orpheus’s The Gamers: Hands of Fate
- Reaper’s Bones
I’m also involved with a few Kickstarters still in the works:
- Larry Elmore’s Sovereign Stone RPG (cracked my stretch goal and still has 4 days to go!)
- Spectrum Games’ Cartoon Action Hour (about $1,750 short of my stretch goal with 11 days to go!)
- Hal Greenberg & Neal Levin’s The Awakened (about $8,350 short of my stretch goal with 18 days to go!)
- The Onyx Path’s Exalted (about $45,000 short of my stretch goal with 17 days to go!)
On top of all this, I’ve consulted on a number of drives behind the scenes, helping my friends build proper drives and execute them well. Note that not every stretch goal my work has been put up for has been reached, although the successes vastly outnumber the failures. In all cases, I’m sure the basic drive contributed a lot more to the successes of those Kickstarters than my offerings, but I’m always thrilled to be a part of so much fun. If you supported any of these Kickstarters – or my own 12 for ’12 drives – thanks for giving me the chance to do that.
