(semi)Monthly News Letter #8 19/06/2017

Prints. Prints. Prints.

It has been a long time coming, people. We finally took the funds we have saved from your generous pledges, and we've made things out of them.

And, the subtitle says it all, prints! Merch! Sweet stuff!

I'm going to bring everything into a sweet summary of what your patronage has allowed us to make:

First off, we got badges. Yep, those little things you can pin to your bag and stuff, and they have a picture in them. We got 4 different designs of those, and for slightly different uses.
3 of them are Small Trolls -related badges, which of we will give out to our Patrons! What ever is left over after Patreon gifts, will be left for stock for future purposes.
One of the designs is for Year In Hereafter, and will be used for exclusive purposes.

We also got... Stickers! Yes! Proper big stickers, cut into custom shape and all! We made two different designs out of Veeti and Jáhko in their deer forms. These will also be sent out as gifts to our current Patreons. What ever remains leftover, goes to stock for future use. And let me tell you, they are some cheery, pretty stickers. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out!

We also got A5 art prints! We got a design for Tistow, and two more designs for Small Trolls.
Even Year In Hereafter got it's own art print, which too will be for exclusive use.

Now, apparently all YIH prints are "exclusive stuff". I'll explain to you what that means, and this explanation will take a whole paragraphs:


YIH was sent out to be printed into actual physical issues. These issues will consist from 28 to 48 pages. In total, there were 8 different issues printed. Some of the chapters were divided into multiple parts.

I should expect to have all the booklets in my hands by 14/7/2017, which will be Year In Hereafter's second anniversary.

I will start selling some very special bundles to properly kick off sending these little books to the world.

In addition to the first 4 chapters, this special bundle will also include a printed version of Mikael's extra Chapter, To Lapland. I will also throw in an A5 art print which will not be available through anywhere else but these bundles, and the badge will be thrown in there just as a cherry on top.

In summary, these bundles will have around 260 pages worth of stuff to read and some unique stuff you won't see anywhere else. Once those A5 art prints run out of stock, they won't be printed again.




So... That's what has been happening during these crazy two months.
Also, Karo is returning to Finland in a week. It has been a pleasure to experience the English summer and work in the same space with Elli, enjoying the generous housing, cooking and company of petrats!


That's the short and long of it all. We'll return to you with another newsletter again later!
