FeaturedDigital Devils $9.99 USDPlease enter a valid amount.MoreLessThis will get you access to the digital / pdf release of the second edition on itch.io. This will come with the standard PDF version, a color print-and-play zine version, and a grayscale print-and-play zine version. The latter two options are meant to make the printing and folding a bit easier by combining two page spreads into one page each. There will be a simple guide for assembly as well.
On top of the above, your name will be immortalized in the dedications section of every variant of This Town Is Full Of Monster - Second Edition.FeaturedShips WorldwideMoreLessThis one gets you a ready-made physical book (softcover, perfect bound, with full color artwork - excepting the pieces that were painted in black and white to begin with, of course). These will be produced, and hopefully made available in perpetuity (or until the collapse of civilization, the internet, and/or all responsible parties, including the author and the printer), using the DrivethruRPG print-on-demand and fulfillment offerings. Access to the digital version, as well as the immortalization of your name in the dedications section of the book, is also included.
Note: The signed variant will need to go through me first, so there's a bit added for the extra shipping and handling (I am not so conceited as to imagine that my signature is worth 5 bucks on its own, I swear). The standard variant will be shipped out directly from DrivethruRPG to you, so the shipping is only charged once.
FeaturedRed String Rascals $100 USDPlease enter a valid amount.MoreLessThis tier nets you all the rewards from the previous tiers, and an even greater claim to a kind of wonderful and terrible immortality, in the form of your face, or another face of your choosing (such as that of a friend, pet, patron entity, favorite public domain character, or any fictional character to which you hold the rights) painted on one of a number of red string conspiracy boards, mysterious monitors, or case files scattered across the pages of the book (this is one of the recurrent decorative motifs planned to liven up what was once a sea of plain text on a white background).
The portrait will focus on the subject's head and face, and will likely require a photo or photos of the subject. It may depict said subject from the shoulders up or may be zoomed for a more dramatic close-up angle. Color content and style may vary. Let me know if you have preferences on any of the aforementioned points, and I'll do my best to accommodate. A small bit of text can also be included, if that is your wish, so long as you keep it classy and on-theme.
A high resolution file, featuring the portrait in isolation (sans the surrounding decorative and themed accoutrements), will also be sent to you, such that you can, if you so wish, print out a bunch of copies, frame them, and hang one in every room you happen to enter (or use it on social media, or on your business cards, or your holiday cards, what have you).FeaturedScene Setting Shadow Skulkers $200 USDPlease enter a valid amount.MoreLessThis tier nets you all the benefits of the Paper Pixies tier and allows you to shape one of the illustrations in the book to your desires (so long as it meets the base criteria outlined below). Paint me a picture with your words, and I shall paint it with my hands and my painting tablet. It can be a multifigure composition (perhaps a scene from one of your own sessions), a full body portrait, a landscape, a visual interpretations of a creepy dream you had, and so on.
This is essentially treated as a digital commission that, aside from its inclusion in This Town Is Full Of Monsters - Second Edition, is yours to use for personal and (with credit) even commercial or promotional purposes (rights shared between the artist - yours truly - and the patron). A high resolution file will be provided as part of the reward. The criteria and limitations are as follows:-
Keep it classy (this is a SFW/SFL product).
-
Keep it on-theme (this is admittedly, very, very broad, as
TTIFOM can cover everything from Twin Peaksy small town Americana to
High Fantasy, Post Apocalyptic, or Science Fiction settings ... so,
basically, as long as it's not, like, a picture of a random
celebrity eating celery, or an unspooky sportsball game, it will
probably be fine - I'll let you know if there's an issue).
-
Keep it legal. For obvious reasons, I can only include
characters, brands, or elements that aren't going to get me sued.
Your own characters and stories are perfect. Steamboat Willie is ...
that kind of almost butts up against the previous limitation, but I
suppose he can be spookified and riffed on with a bit of
imagination? Goofy, Donald, Sora, or Sephiroth are a total no-go,
however (I have never played Kingdom Hearts, but I heard it was
kind of like Twin Peaks, but much more Disney-ish, so
that's why I made that specific reference, I guess)?
- Keep it loose. In this case, I am mainly referring to style and execution. I do reserve the right to render and interpret your idea in whatever style and idiom I feel to be most suitable, both in terms of my own sensibilities and the demands of the overall layout. Absolute realism, for example, is a thing I can, technically, do, but am not going to, because it takes an amount of time and labor that I simply don't have available to me or in me. Plus, it's boring (that's in the actual manual). The book will include a few different styles, ranging from loose, painterly impressionism and figurative expressionism to pulpy paperback semi-realism.
