Stretch Goals Open!"},"content":{"rendered":"

I have some great news to report. The Kickstarter campaign to fund Sword of the Ronin <\/em>has been successfully funded. Thank you to all the friends, colleagues, podcast listeners, and readers who have backed the project thus far. That\u2019s the good news.<\/p>\n

Now, the better news. There\u2019s still two weeks to go! Stretch goals are now in place to raise this project to a higher level. I have brought artist Drew Baker onto the project now to produce additional artwork. If you\u2019re familiar with the Legend of the Five Rings universe (a personal favorite of mine since 1996), you\u2019ve likely seen Drew\u2019s work. It is gorgeous. If the funding goes far enough, there might even be interior illustrations.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve haven\u2019t gotten on board, there\u2019s still time.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, I\u2019m grateful for any help spreading the word to anyone else who might like to get on board. People who love history, folklore, fantasy novels, samurai films, Akira Kurosawa, Japanese culture, or just plain ol\u2019 adventure stories, perhaps even other people who enjoy supporting independent artists.<\/p>\n

Thank you again for you support. This journey is just getting started and it\u2019s going to be exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n
