The big boss of Flaming Crab Games has decided he loved the Letters of the Flaming Crab line so much he wanted to fund it for a full year. That would be one book a month with writers being paid actual per word rates.
You can find the Kickstarter here. Our goal is $2,500. That's pretty modest, I think, for a series of 12 books.
For those who don't know, Letters from the Flaming Crab takes correspondence (letters, if you will) accidentally sent to our universe from a dimension hopping ship (the UCS Flaming Crab) and turns it into playable material for Pathfinder games.
No. Really. Stop laughing!
Ahem. More seriously, the point of Letters is to explore topics that don't get touched too often by other books. We've published books on flying cavaliers, cooking magic, spooooky haunts (which are popular, we admit, but it WAS Halloween), and pagan holidays. We're currently working on non-Disneyfied princesses, tiny dragons, women in history, and banks, credits, and currency.
But the rest of the topics we cover in 2016? That's gonna be up the backers of the Kickstarter. Here's your chance to influence an entire product line and get some really good books out of it!
There's also a poll running to help us figure out topics for the year. Right now "Strange Weather", "Things that Go Boom", "Household Magic", "Drugs and Alcohol", and "Ioun Stones" are in the lead.
So.
Please visit the poll and vote.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE (I'm begging here - our writers need food badly!) consider backing our Kickstarter.
And thank you for being awesome, folks. Gamers rule.
