Danni never went back to that game practice shop. She changed to a different one and ran into Kleya.

 

Thanks to all for your suggestions on my dilemma for the upcoming Kickstarter for NAV 5. I was leaning toward option B and it looks like most of you agree with that:

So, option B it is!

I'm currently going through all the suggestions and deciding on which ones I could or could not do, but these are the new ones that will most likely make the cut (listed in order of ascending price range):

Custom button from any existing artwork; Digital Doodle; Email exchange with one of the characters, ask them anything (that is safe for work) and they'll respond in character (if you choose Kleya, Mina will respond since Kleya doesn't respond to messages); Fantasy Novels, all 3, signed; Custom avatar you can use for social media or forums or turn into a custom button; Custom Chibi art; Custom LiFe art; Custom Game art; Custom Hacker art; Q&A one-page comic where you can ask a question (that is safe for work) to any character, including Kleya, but no guarantee you'll get the response you want or if you'll even survive if you ask wrong questions to certain characters; Custom Reality Art; Custom short story in prose, max 3K words; Mini-comic of you interacting with characters in LiFe, max 4 pages, with a guaranted cameo in a future LiFe page.

Most of the above will also be super limited. I have time constraints and don't want to overwhelm myself. Tshirts, bags, and mugs will also be limited since I have a finite amount of them and can't easily order more.

There was a suggestion given that I really like but am not sure if you all will like it. It's to offer a variant cover for NAV 1 (assuming we make it to 20K, of course). So, instead of redoing the art, I would make a new cover that will only be available to those participating in the Kickstarter. This is something I can do and with little added cost. If you'll take this quick survey and help me decide if it's something I should offer, that would be great. Thanks!

EDIT: To clarify, I would still be doing a print run of Book 1 with the normal cover--these I'll sell at conventions and such. The variant cover would be an additional, limited run, with the different cover and only offered to those participating in the Kickstarter. Because the inside is the exact same, changing the cover doesn't had much to the cost of the overall print run and is something I could pull off, assuming we reach $20K. I will also fix up certain panels within Book 1 so it will have updated art, but I probably won't re-do all the art.
