Hello Patrons!
This is your final reminder about the Codex Volume 1 Kickstarter. The campaign ends on the evening of Sunday, October 28th. Do not count on being able to pick up this book after the campaign ends. We're only doing a single print run, and many of the books leftover after Kickstarter fulfillment will be sent to a few select retailers.
Don't miss out! Take a look at the campaign and pledge today!
