Bummer. I had the brilliant idea of offering custom swords, in pure medieval style, exactly like the ones the Circle knights used, engraved with the Circle logo. They cost $195 to make, so if I asked for a pledge of $275 or so, backers could get the sword and book, and I get some - plus a huge jump to the goal. I figured offering six would not destroy my brain in terms of organizing shipping and stuff.

But too bad for me, as Junie B. Jones would say, because Kickstarter doesn't permit weapons of any kind to be rewards. Shoot.

Best, Ron

Yeah, but ...

1. I could organize the sword as a promotional item on my own, without Kickstarter involved.

2. What about a Circle logo (which is going to be bad-ass) in stainless steel, about 9" by 9", as a wall-hanger cool thing? This guy looks affordable, reliable, and local! I'm gonna make a phone call.

editing this in: which I just did! The guy is very professional and the work is totally affordable. The new pledge tier is now in the KS.

I'd chip in at a higher level for the wall hanging.

Damn I'm slow. Believe it or not, I only just now realized what Circle of Hands is, despite it having been with me since the '90s.

Of course now that I realized it, I'm going to lie to everybody about Ron having an official license, like the Dresden Files rpg :D

It is an indicator of either mithrilheavyprog genius or my own derangement that when I listen, the line "Today is only yesterday's tomorrow" is profound, but when I just say the line and use this 'rational' thing, it's stupid.
