"Our worst nightmares aren't fiction..."

That's the best way to describe One-Eyed Jack. A chilling yet necessary graphic novel about humanity, morals and legacy through the lens of the Las Vegas Oct. 1st 2017 mass shooting. This one hits home, my friends, and I really hope you all give it a chance, you will not regret it.

It's beautifully illustrated with watercolors by superstar BRÄO and developed as an essay by the TV show CSI creator ANTHONY E. ZUIKER. I'm the writer, editor and publisher.

We're about ten days from our finish line and we've been doing great having knocked down quite a few Stretch Goals so far with just another three to go. Hit the link above and come check out One-Eyed Jack, folks, I guarantee you'll like it.

Going in a completely different direction is DARE, a hilarious action-comedy that might not be exactly politically correct. Meet Lucious Daren: super handsome, super cool, super cop. Or so he thinks... this is Los Angeles circa 2009 or 2012 or somewhere in between and Lucious is the best cop in town to chase down bad guys.

But when his latest antic backfires he is demoted to the DARE program having to teach kids in school to stay away from drugs! The problem here though is that Lucious can only do his awesome cop routine when he's either drunk or high!!

Once again I'm collaborating on a project taking over script duties, editorial and publishing. Artwork is by Marvel and DC artists ZÉ CARLOS and NATÁLIA MARQUES and the original story treatment by Hollywood screenwriters MICHAEL SELTZER & CHARLES BORG.

We are already funded as well having launched less than a week ago and we're now chasing down some Stretch Goals. Come check it out, you'll have a laugh or two guaranteed!

Thank you all so much for continuing to support my work and allowing me to write for a living. It's great to know I'm able to do something I'm so passionate about knowing you all have my back.

I sincerely hope you'll check out One-Eyed Jack and DARE before both Kickstarter campaigns are done and don't worry...

We will have exciting news about a certain Redhead and The Few and Cursed universe sooner than you think ;)

Cheers,

Felipe

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/the-few-and-cursed-the-art-of-the-board-game?ref=71w289

If you'd like to grab yourself a copy of this gorgeous hardcover collector's edition as well please click the link above and confirm your pledge. Thanks!

What happens now with Painting the World Red?

I've shipped the last 100+ packages this week so we need to give them time to make it all the way to all of you still waiting for your rewards. I'm sure most of the packages will arrive in no time and without any major problems.

But we are dealing with the post-office and we all know that is not risk-free. Plus I was handling fulfillment all by myself and I'm prone to mistakes as well, heck, I'm only human, what are you gonna do, right?

MISSING OR DAMAGED ITEMS?

I tried to be as thorough as possible but this batch of packages had the most items per parcel so there might be items missing here and there (although I hope not!). Please check if all your items have arrived. If there is anything missing or if any of the rewards have been damaged in transit do NOT leave a comment or DM on Kickstarter, that is not the best way to get anything fixed.

PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT [email protected]

I need you to shoot me an e-mail because you'll need to send photos of any damages and it makes my life a whole lot easier to queue all replacements up in a folder at my e-mail browser. Kickstarter just throws all communication together and it's hard for me to navigate any requests.

If you have already sent in an e-mail and I've responded then you are all set, you are queued up and as soon as your replacement package gets in the mail I will be sure to share the tracking code. Fair warning though I'm starting fulfillment on Shadow Nation so replacements will happen in small groups week in week out.

I am more than happy to do right by all of you and see that 100% of backers are satisfied with their Few and Cursed experience, just please make sure to e-mail me, capisce?

If there is anything else I can help you with please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you so much for your support, patience and understanding with this Kickstarter campaign. I have nothing but gratitude to all of you.

All the best!

Felipe

Fulfillment to resume immediately! Plus new Redhead Art Book Kickstarter now LIVE and welcoming pledges \o/

Hey everyone!

Today is a good update, it's a great update, all good news for you all! First and foremost I'd like to present the latest The Few and Cursed Kickstarter campaign. 

As most of you already know Rock Manor Games produced a board game based on The Few and Cursed but perhaps not a lot of you know we've produced a companion art book featuring all the amazing art produced for the game, the process behind them, some insider info and more.

The book was printed alongside the game and we thought to ourselves why not offer the remaining units of the print run to Few and Cursed fans that might not have wanted to buy it with the board game but would like a copy anyway.

We are then basically using Kickstarter as a pre-order platform to help us distribute the books. We pretty much don't have a goal, stretch goals or tiers, the idea is for everyone to go in, purchase a copy of  the book and get it shipped as soon as funds and shipping addresses are collected.

No fuss, no muss.

Copies are LIMITED though since we are selling the end of the run so make sure to get yours as early as possible and don't forget you won't be charged until the campaign ends anyway so putting a pledge in early is pretty much just reserving a copy of the book.

Once it's gone it's gone.

FULFILLMENT TO RESUME IMMEDIATELY!

I'm happy to announce that everything worked out during my quarantine in Mexico and I was able to make my way back to Florida. I know I have about 1/3 of the packages to send out yet and I'm going to start working on them immediately.

I expect to complete fulfillment for this Kickstarter campaign in the next two weeks \o/

Every single item has been stocked or restocked (Shadow Nation, Few and Cursed comics 1 thru 6) and I will start signing them today and prepping the first parcels to go out over the weekend.

Missing, Returned or Damaged Items will be sorted out after fulfillment is complete. If you've already sent in an e-mail you don't need to do anything else. If not PLEASE E-MAIL ME AT [email protected].

Any problems with your package must be dealt with via e-mail, no exceptions.

I'm ecstatic to finally be completing this Kickstarter campaign and putting it behind us. I cannot thank you all enough for your patience and understanding in these trying times.

All the best!

Felipe

Fulfillment to resume in about a month! Plus announcements for The Few and Cursed in 2021 \o/

Hey gang,

I hope this finds you all well and safe. After some bumming news for some of you in our last update I'm happy to report things are going back on track and fulfillment is set to resume on February 25th.

Let me say that again:

FULFILLMENT FOR THIS KICKSTARTER WILL RESUME ON FEB. 25TH \o/

About 1/3 of the backers did not have their rewards shipped yet and I plan on making that right next time I'm back in the US which is already schedule to happen in the next month or so. I'll be once again quarantining in Mexico before making my way to Florida in what is now being called Operation Guacamole.

Both Shadow Nation books and re-prints for The Few and Cursed issues #1-#4 are already en route from China and I will complete fulfillment for this campaign before moving on to the next one.

A word on replacement packages for missing or damaged items

These will also go out around the same date but please know that the hardcover edition of the book is VERY LIMITED so unless the damage was substantial there won't be any replacements. I apologize for the inconvenience, I did my best to ship these as safely and quickly as possible but unfortunately a few units suffered minor wear on the corners while in transit and I won't be able to replace these.

If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]

THE FEW AND CURSED SEASON 2 ANNOUNCEMENTS

Yes, we have a LOT planned for 2021, folks, and I cannot wait to get started on the future of this universe with a number of new stories, characters and curses!

While season 1 saw the release of three different books, season 2 will really up the count with a number of releases already in the works, check them out:

- Brand new six-issue story arc that's a direct sequel to the Crows of Mana'Olana

- Chronicles of the Few and Cursed Vol. 2

- The Few and Cursed: Shadow War

- Untitled new young adult TRILOGY graphic novel series

- Mystery spin-off title

The new six-issue story arc already has a title and  has been outlined and I'm thrilled to share we will be introducing a  whole new cast of characters. As soon as Fabiano starts working on concepts and designs I will make a bigger announcement \o/

That's it for today, I will be back in touch in about a month once I have made it back to Florida and back to work on fulfilling all outstanding pledges.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding, we're almost out of the woods now and I deeply appreciate your support.

All the best,

Felipe

Important news about fulfillment, damaged items and more, please read, folks!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Dec 14, 2020 at 10:57:09 AM

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the tardiness in sharing this update. I wanted to have done it on Tuesday or even Wednesday but man this week was rough. Not only did we wrap the Kickstarter to fund production of the trade paperback I was also going to the post-office everyday to ship as many parcels as possible before flying to Brazil...

And that's the first piece of news: I'm writing all of you from Brazil already after a lengthy 16hr flight going through Mexico but I'm happy to announce that Operation Quesadilla was a tremendous success as I was able to ship over 2.000 packages across three different Kickstarter campaigns that piled on one another.

First an important announcement:

IF YOU DID NOT GET AN E-MAIL BY NOW WITH A TRACKING CODE, YOUR PARCEL HAS NOT BEEN SENT. It's as simple as that. BackerKit sends e-mails with tracking automatically and they might end up in the Spam or Junk Folder - please look for them thoroughly.

 HOW FAR DID YOU GET WITH FULFILLMENT FOR PAINTING THE WORLD RED?

I wish I could've done more but as of right now I've shipped about 2/3 of all Painting the World Red parcels - basically every package that did NOT include any Shadow Nation or Issues #1 thru #6 of the original comic book series.

For those that might not know fulfillment for Shadow Nation had to be delayed because of slower than usual transit times for boats coming from China. The printer ended up missing one of the boats and the next would not leave until a couple of weeks later putting delivery somewhere between Christmas and New Year's. Shadow Nation will not make it to the US until mid-February.

Any rewards including issues #1 thru #4 of the regular Few and Cursed series were not sent because those books got sold out. I ran out of them. Back when each fulfillment was going to happen in turns (Few#6 first, then Painting the World Red a couple of months later then Shadow Nation, all three about two months away from one another) I would have had the chance to go over the inventory at the end of each one and re-order anything that were low in numbers.

I did not have that chance.

Obviously I have checked and organized the entire inventory after the behemoth that was the fulfillment for The Few and Cursed #6 and I have already put in the order with the printer for a new print run for the first four books of the series. These will ship along with Shadow Nation and will make port in Florida in mid-February as well.

WHEN WILL FULFILLMENT FOR OUTSTANDING PACKAGES HAPPEN THEN?

They will be the first out the door when I go back to Florida in February. I'm going to complete fulfillment for Painting the World Red before starting on the next one. And I really would like to take the opportunity to apologize to all backers affected by all this.

I know it sucks having to wait a little longer and in this case a lot longer and I am absolutely and truly sorry. You were all following up on my adventures these past two months and I really would like to appeal to your understanding.

There's a little bit of silver lining though in being among those having to wait a little longer. Packaging and shipping the art books sucked, I'm being completely honest here. They ended up so big that pretty much all the supplies I got (especially the bags and boxes) were either too tight or wouldn't fit at all and I had to do my best and improvise.

With a two month window and already knowing the challenges ahead I will be able to do better and learn from the feedback of people that already got their packages. 

Which brings me to my next point...

MISSING OR DAMAGED ITEMS?

Please read these carefully if you are among the backers that got their orders and something was wrong with it. As outlined above fulfillment for Painting the World Red had some real challenges because of the size and weight of the books.

Plus I still did it all myself and obviously I'm prone to errors. Let me apologize in advance for any mistakes that happened, any damage in transit, anything at all, and rest assured that whatever it is, it will be handled. Albeit it will take a little while.

Let's start with:

Please E-MAIL ME at [email protected]

Please do not send DMs or leave comments about missing or damage items. I need you to e-mail me what happened, please include photos, so I can queue you up for replacement packages going out in 2021.

With that said, I will go through every situation in a case by case analysis so please bear with me and allow me the chance to best make it up to you. My goal is to make sure all of you are 100% happy with your Few and Cursed experience.

This will be the last update of the year but I will be back in January and February with more concrete dates and travel plans back to the US. Until then I wish all of you Happy Holidays and stay safe out there!

Cheers,

Felipe
