$200k! Holy HELL, people!
This is wild, and it's been SO much fun to watch the growth of this campaign! We're closing in on doubling our Day 1 final fund number, which is just so atypical it's amazing.
In the interest of keeping this upward momentum going, we've decided to added another Stretch Goal for you guys after the $250k goal, in case we manage to just keep going stratospheric!
If we smash through the included bookmarks and we can reach $350k USD in funding,the interior of The Veneziad will be printed in color! This means that our chapters headers will be done in full color, really making them pop off the page, and we're going to see about potential spots to add other splashes throughout the rest of the book!
This was kind of a pipe dream for us given our printer told us the cost of printing in full color might increase the price of each unit by as much as x5 (the joys of refusing to print outside the US or UK...), but now that we're looking at a significant print run of books, it might just be possible at a doable cost!
So... Onward to $350k! Let's see if we can do it!
Thank you everyone for your support, and we can't wait to see how this turns out in the end!

Hi Everyone!
Once again, we logged off for the day only to come back and find that y'all had helped us unlock another Stretch Goal overnight! Thank you!
As the title of this update mentions, crossing the $150k threshold means that the books will include at least 4 additional sea shanties written by G.B. Stewart!
Next up, if we get to $250k every backer will get a deluxe foil bookmark featuring the art from the book included with their pledge! For those of you wondering "What is a deluxe foil bookmark?" we'll show you! :)
Not only are both sides printed with foil, but the edges are painted to match!
One More Thing!
We have an updated sketch of the chapter header artwork by Francesca Baerald and it looks absolutely fantastic! We'll post more updates of this piece as we get them!
🤦 Yes, the books are indeed signed. We're just dummies 🤣

Hey all! Bryce here with (for once) a purely "good news" apology.
It was only after a wonderful backer (thank you Christine) very politely asked if we could get THE VENEZIAD signed as a Stretch Goal for you guys that Wraithmarked realized nowhere in the campaign or video did we mention that YES, the books will 100% all be signed by G.B. Stewart! Not only that, but they'll be signed on one of our awesome custom full-color double-page spreads, some past samples of which you can see below!
That's totally on me, since at the end of the day it is my job to make final approval of the campaign. Hopefully this is a forgivable slipup given it's only good knews hahaha.
Still, my apologies, and I will try not to hide any more cool stuff from you guys moving forward!
$100k stretch goal crossed, and then some!

Hi all!
As most of us wrapped up our day yesterday afternoon, y'all clearly had other plans. Not only did you help us reach another stretch goal, but we completely blew it out of the water
So, with the $100k stretch goal reached, G.B. Stewart— or "Blue" as y'all lovingly call him in the comments— will be recording an audio edition of The Veneziad and posting it to YouTube!
Next up, at $150k the book will be getting at least 4 more sea shanties for all to enjoy! Thanks to you, we're already well on our way there, but let's see how quickly we can get there!
