Just a quick note to let all three of my regular steadfast readers know that there is a new Kickstarter for more issues of the Magician’s Skull magazine.
I have already pledged. I really like the magazine, despite a couple of poor stories, because it is a big positive to have a well-funded vehicle for Sword & Sorcery tales.
I misread the pledge levels at first and went with the highest pledge level, the rather cool “Last To Be Immolated” level. It is a nine-issue subscription, with the added bonus of having my name on a list in one issue of the mag. The 9-issue sub costs $122; this level is $172. $50 is a lot to have my name on a list no one cares about. Joe Goodman has always been good at these marketing gimmicks, since he first opened up Goodman Games to provide third-party modules for the 3rd Edition of D&D back in the early 2000s. I’ll probably go back and change it to the base 9-issue pledge level, but for now I’ll let it go. It’s not like Goodman needs the extra $50 from me, or I need my vanity affirmed by being on the list; but its still kinda cool.
The Kickstarter runs for the next 16 days, and includes single, five, or nine issue subs. If you want to see S&S supported, you might consider pledging.
I am reading through Issue #6 right now, and should have a review of it in the next week or so (heard that before? Heh.).
I’ve tried posting links to Kickstarters before, and it usually gets gakked up for some reason. If this link doesn’t work, you can go to kickstarter.com and search “Magician’s Skull.” It will be obvious from there (knock on skull).
