Hey guys,

Hope you're having a lovely weekend. I've just updated the free 30-page sample of the book which gives you lore, the full prologue and Chapter 1 with some chapter 2 strips. 

I have also updated the project page with stretch goals. Ones that I believe are achievable and realistic whilst I work on both the game and finalising Grimfel Origins for print.  

Both the link and stretch goals can be found on the project page so feel free to take a look and let me know your thoughts :)

All the best,

Adam Frank Sparkes (Sparrowhawk)

We hit the goal in under 24 hours!

We did it! Just under 24 hours we are fully funded for Grimfel: Origins! 

 Thank you so much for backing to help get the graphic novella out there :) Planning ahead, I will add some realistic stretch goals to the campaign. My time is mostly split working on the game and finalising some art for Grimfel: Origins and the D&D Booklet for the higher tiers. 

I have also just whipped up a quick campaign video with some of the art you'll find in the book. I did some  rough animation and added Lyv's Death's Lament song which was created for Grimfel. Go ahead and check it out on the campaign page :) 

I have also added Backer upgrades tiers for the previous backers. This is essentially for the physical editions only as previous backers will receive the digital version for free with the email they provided on the last ongoing campaign.

I have also created an add on for the TTRPG booklet which is Grimfel's campaign with D&D 5e ruleset. The add on was for the digital edition which was requested by backers. I'll also add some merch options to the add on section shortly too. 

Grimfel: Origins may be a prequel to Grimfel the Interactive Fiction/ Visual Novel game but its always been the first story I wrote. It has gone through so many iterations and was inspired by the works of Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher and the video game series Diablo. It was also wrote whilst I was visiting the scottish isles and Ayrshire, so those rural settings inspired Grimfel and what it becomes. I can't wait for you to read and hear your thoughts on the book :) 

Thanks so much for your support and I'll get back to you with some stretch goals. 

Have a lovely day/evening,
