The Kickstarter for Tales of Illuminatus #3 launched on Thursday as scheduled.
Bobby Campbell's announcement at the Kickstarter site has details on the new issue. He's bringing in characters from other RAW novels, such as Sigismundo Celine from the Historical Illuminatus series (he's the guy at the piano). Bobby hopes to get the third issue out by July, but August is a more realistic goal. A trade paperback will be issued with the first three issues. A "skeleton key" zine with commentary by Michael Johnson is planned in the fall. There's a new poster that's going to be issued and there are related soundtrack albums that I've mentioned before in this space. And so on.
The pledges this time offer a dizzying array of options. Along with the various preset packages of rewards for backers, there is a pretty long list of available add-ons. I struggled with all of the options and Kickstater's clumsy system and finally took one of the packages when I pledged.
One point that seems important to me is that Bobby has put together pledge amounts that can meet any budget. Everyone can take part. And you don't have to feel any obligation to pledge more than you can afford; Bobby has already met the pledge goal of $777. The pledges already were more than $1,000 as I wrote this.

I'm so glad this project is doing so well, and that the fundraiser would be succesful in less than 24h.
Congratulations, Bobby!
Oh, frabjous day!
Thanks again and again and again, Tom! And everyone that's supported, or even just tolerated, our efforts to keep the lasagna flying :)))
As RAW said, "INFO = SURPRISE" and we've got plenty coming your way!
