Kickstarter: Deluxe Foil Version
Added 2025-09-22 21:00:13 +0000 UTCThe tri-color deluxe foil option for the books came in. Here are some photos!
Overall, this blue/gold/silver combination gives it a good celestial vibe, I think.
There's a bit of glare in the lighting here, but that's an issue for my camera, not the book.
Here are some of what's in the photos:
Tri-Color Foil Cover in Blue Faux Leather
Sprayed Page Edges in Silver
Map as the Front Endsheet
Sam and Jeric Fighting the Basalt Gnome Warlord as the Final Endsheet
Foiled Spine with Deluxe Spine Hubs
Matching dust jacket.
Bronze-toned bookmark ribbon.
Smyth-sewn binding, which allows the book to lie open flat.
This is a dummy copy, which is an example of the overall structure, so the inside is blank until it goes back to printing.
I love this. Let me know what you think. I'll be approving it for printing here shortly. Hopefully not too much longer before we can get them in and get them shipped.
Cheers,
David

These books are the cheapest they'll ever be, since this campaign is decently into the red. I'm covering the extra cost, since I want them to look as nice as possible, but when they go for back order on the next campaign for more books, they'll be a bit more.
On the Late Backer Store, they still show up as the black/silver foil:
