48 Hours Left!!! + Ch 3 Pages + Outtakes Video (Kickstarter Updates)
Hey folks!
Team Skybound here. Thank you so much to everyone who has pledged, shared, and otherwise engaged with our campaign over the last month. We can’t believe it’s almost over! We’ve loved every minute of it, especially getting to know all you WBN fans, who we have to say are some of the kindest, most supportive, and genuinely lovely fans we’ve ever encountered. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU.
We just revealed got a few HOT PICS of our Mr. Soup Plush from the manufacturer over on Kickstarter, so check ‘em out over there, and if you haven’t already, go ahead and add on the Mr. Soup Plush to your pledge right now! It’ll help us unlock our just-revealed BONUS QUESTS! What are those? Great question.
BONUS QUESTS REVEALED!
Because the response to the Tarot Card Prints has been so overwhelmingly positive, we decided to create a few new stretch goals that EVERYONE can enjoy! When we hit each new bonus quest, we’ll add one new Tarot Card print to every physical pledge, and here they are!
We’re so excited to see Michelle Fus take on these characters, especially The Man in Black!
BOOK PREVIEW
Our favorite part of the campaign has to have been finally showing off the incredible work that Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb have been putting together in secret for so long. We’ll be sharing some additional BTS as the book finishes up and then we can’t wait to get it into your hands in the first half of next year.
Speaking of the book, in case you missed it, you can check out the unlocked previews of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 below, and as a special exclusive for you Patrons, we also wanted to show off a sneak peak at Chapter 3, where the Wizard and the Witch finally meet the Wild One. Enjoy!
Chapter 1 Full Chapter
Chapter 2 Full Chapter
Chapter 3 Sneak Peak
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
Speaking of what’s next, there have been a lot of questions about what happens AFTER the campaign ends, and we’re here to help with that. Once the campaign ends, Kickstarter will begin processing payments. Your card should be charged within approximately 24 hours of the campaign ending.
If your payment does not go through, Kickstarter will send you instructions for updating your payment method. For additional assistance, you can contact Kickstarter Support:
https://help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
BackerKit Survey
We expect to send BackerKit surveys to be sent out approximately 3-4 weeks after the campaign ends.
BackerKit is a separate website from Kickstarter, so please keep an eye out for emails from us with instructions on how to complete your survey. We’ll also do a post on Kickstarter when the surveys start going out.
Your BackerKit survey is where you will:
Review the items included in your pledge
Confirm any unlocked stretch goals
Provide your shipping address
Upgrade your pledge, if available
Select or purchase additional add-ons
You must complete your survey in order for us to prepare and ship your rewards, so this part is very important!
Please contact us at WorldsBeyondNumber@skybound.com if you have any questions! We aim to respond within two to three business days, although response times may vary depending on the volume of messages we receive.
And that’s it! As you can see, your part is mostly done, now it’s on us to finish up this book and make these awesome rewards!
From all of us to all of you, thanks so much! Until next time -- ahoo-hoo and crackle, crackle!
P.S. As a little thank-you to our Patrons, here's something just for you: a collection of outtakes from the Kickstarter video. The cutting room floor at Worlds Beyond Number is a very funny place, and we couldn't resist sharing a few of our favorite moments. We hope it gives you a laugh.

😭knowing the tragedy that befalls Eursalon coming up...my heart can't take it
I thought the Kickstarter ended yesterday, but it looks like it's still updating.
Hi there, sorry if this sounds off but will you guys be allowing late pledges for a small extended period since the campaign has ended? I noticed that it’s still an option to back some tiers. Would like to know since not sure due to some budget stuff that I can support this week. May be able to next week.
Do we know if these sneak peeks will still be up after the campaign concludes?
We have gotten additional quest, yes. What about second additional quest?
It may have been asked, but if we went crazy and are getting our names in the books, how is that being handled? Will there be a place to fill out the name we want in the book?
Never been so proud to back a group of people in my life! Thank you for your wonderful stories and better vibes ♥️
We're about to surpass the $2,150,000 stretch goal! With more than 24 hours to go!! CONGRATULATIONS, WBN!
I may have missed it but do we know how many chapters the book is going to be?
Will more Dungeon Master tier options become available as a stretch goal?
I know it would be it's own Kickstarter but I would happily pledge to have a full tarot deck with art throughout Book 1. Michelle has done an amazing job with the illustrations!!!
Let's goo Man in Black Stretch goaaaalll
Ohh thats some good panel work
Pledged for the npc book, id love to get mr soup someday but cant rn, i love your guy's work sm and hope you make a lot from this
These stretch goals are amazing 🔥🦊❤️🤗
Gosh darn it, I don't have TIME to re-listen to the Chrlildren's Advenure for a third time! Stop making me want to!
'Do you know whimsy motherfucker' needsssss to be merch.
Okay but I’m going to need the next Kickstarter to be a whole tarot deck. Xoxo, a witchy superfan
I can't see the Mr soup stretch goal or where to add it. Help!
The usage of hard lines to frame the panels in the mortal realm vs the organic, soft, often tree-shaped lines of the spirit that interplay with the contents of the panel and the way the doorway at the end is represented by a rectangular panel that uses the rougher edges of the spirit panels makes me optimistic about the comic.
even without just supporting you guys' awesome work, we sure as sh*t are getting our money's worth w this kickstarter! I'm so excited
Okay, I've been wondering something and this seems to be a place just as good as anywhere else to ask about it, since I didn't get a response from the Help email - I suppose (hope) that we'll soon know it either way with the Backer Kit surveys, but the language around some of the stretch goals confuses me. For instance, right here they say the new tarot cards will be "added to all physical pledges" but with the first tarot cards, it said "added to all class specific pledges" or something like that - does that mean that, in the NPC tier, I'll automatically get the new tarot cards, but not the first ones? Or only that I'll have the option to add on the new tarot cards? I only want to know exactly what is already included on what I've already purchased, to know if I should add on anything else.
The class specific tiers are getting the character/class specific rewards. Ex. The Wizard tiers are getting the Wizard pin, the Wizard patch, the Wizard Slip cover, the Suvi bookmark, the Suvi sticker, and the Suvi tarot print. Same for the other classes getting the equivalents for their characters. The first tarot prints were character/class specific, so they are going to those specific tiers as applicable. The new stretch goal tarot prints aren't Suvi/Ame/Eursulon specific, so they will go to all tiers NPC and up, like the postcard, the Taro sticker, and the group prints.
Tiny Eursalon just breaks my heart, he is so so precious! I feel so affirmed having pledged for Wild One ❤️🩹
“People who can’t read but like to look at pretty pictures” My kiddo is here for that category…and already learning to read off of chapter 1 because they are a big WWWO fan
Has anyone let BLeeM know that we CAN indeed stretch beyond the ultimate stretch goal? That we will continue to push the boundaries of stretching until we get every goddamn goal that could even be IMAGINED?! YOU CANNOT CONTAIN US OR OUR ABILITY TO STRETCCCCHHHHHH.
Stretch Goals Beyond Number
The tarot cards tho…I need it! I need a full tarot deck, please and thank you 🤩
I'm so glad I'm not the only one thinking about this because that would be AMAZING
I don't know if I've ever been as excited for anything as I am for Mr. Soup. I'm gonna put so many lil knick knacks and coins in that bowl
Me too! I plan to put Mr. Soup on my desk with a bowl of encourage-"mints" for my students
WHIMSICAL MOTHERFUCKER✨
I want a Whimsy MotherFucker enamel pin, and I will pay whatever it takes to make that a stretch goal.
I second this motion
As a whimsy mfer, I was refreshing the page to add Mr. Soup to my pledge. Congratulations on hitting all the Kickstarter goals! I am so excited for more tarot cards. Fingers crossed we get there. Will there be a chance that a tarot card deck is released after the kickstarter ends?
Perfection. No notes.
MISTER SOUP! 🥳
