Four Things and a Lizard!
In today’s newsletter I:
Discuss four things and a lizard.
Morning folks!
Today we have Four Things and a Lizard to discuss!
THING #1. Money has cleared: The funds are happily sitting in my account and the Print PDFs are ready to send off to the printer.
THING #2. Surveys: Make sure you get your surveys filled out! I'll give it another week or so before I lock the surveys down, and I really don't want you to miss out.
What if I don't see the email yet?
Check your spam folder. If you use Gmail, sometimes your invite will go to your "Promotions" tab. If you still can't find it, search your inbox for "PledgeBox".
If that doesn't work:
1) Click - https://survey.pledgebox.com/user/register
2) Signup and login as a backer with the email address you used on Kickstarter
3) All the projects you have backed will be shown.
4) Click on the ‘View’ button to edit your information.
5) Complete the survey and then you can see all the details.
What if I need to change my address?
As long as your items have not been locked, you can always change your address. Just simply log back in to https://survey.pledgebox.com/user/login and make the appropriate change. However, if you change your country, additional shipping costs may apply.
THING #3. My son and I are at it again over in Dungeons & Dragons land! You may remember how much fun I had designing Talking Apes for 5E. Wewll, my son and I are working on our next D&D Zine.
This one is designed to take your party of adventurers to Eternia where Skeletor has finally taken over Grayskull! This dungeon crawl will take your through Castle Grayskull and below! You don’t actually play AS any of the Masters of the Universe, but you will encounter a few of Skeletor’s henchmen along the way.
We’re about half way through planing and mapping the adventure out. I basically plan the maps and encounters, and my son Hector helps me make sure the monsters are level appropriate and he designs the stats for SKELETOR’S EVIL WARRIORS!! We are having the best time!
I’m not sure how I’ll release this thing. It’s not like I can do a Kickstarter for an I.P. I don’t own. So I think I’ll be releasing this through my Patreon at this point. Not sure to tell the truth but I’ll keep you D&D folks posted.
THING #4. Back to comics; What's next for Gorilla my Dreams?
GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #1: This Halloween, KNOCKAROUND-GUY is besieged by the bizarre SCUNGILLI MAN -- so he enlists the help of monster hunter/paranormal investigator CTHULHU WILLIAMS!
Waiting for you in GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #1:
First issue in a new ongoing series which sees KG team up with a different character(s) each issue!
22-pages of monster fighting goodness for your Halloween!
3 covers including our very first, super-duper-rare Raised Spot UV and Cracked Holojet Foil cover!
A creative team of superheroes from all over the world (Australia, Brazil, South Africa, and more)!
Stretch Goals that bring even more pages to this comic!
GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #1 is a monster romp comic book that isn't really a metaphor for something else..
Sometimes, the danger really is that obvious. Sometimes — if I can indulge in a crazy what-if scenario, here — a racist politician who who locks children in cages isn’t just one side of an argument. But rather a clear and present danger that’s coming for you and the ones you love. Hypothetically. Sometimes an evil politician is just an evil politician.
And sometimes a mutated, old-school, sliced conch dish monster is just a mutated, old-school, sliced conch dish monster. The hardest part about surviving something so extreme is recognising that it’s real and responding in kind. It hardly matters that the creature is all teeth and claws and tentacles, it only matters that we see it for what it is. Because how the hell else are we supposed to fight back?
Who will love GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #1?
Fans of Creepy Pastas like Slenderman and movies like Candyman.
Lovers of paranormal investigators/monster hunters like Hellboy and The Goon.
People who love gorillas in comic books.
Fans of unorthodox heroes like Jack Burton and Ash Williams.
Lovers of high quality independent comic books.
Collectors of shiny 90's style gimmick covers (like Hyperkind #1 image below).
And as promised... here's a lizard.
Thanks for reading guys.
Talk again next week.
Big Tim.

Just in case you're wondering why you're getting this email; You're probably a fan of my superhero gorilla Knockaround-Guy, or you're a fan of comic book giveaways! Either way, I'm Big Tim Stiles, writer of Gorilla My Dreams. Actor, singer, invented the number 8, lover, champion of Canberra people!
I struggle with depression, chronic pain, PTSD, and anger management. These things fuel my writing of comics starring a big gorilla dressed in blue.
