The Few and Cursed

Created by Felipe Cagno

Welcome to The Few and Cursed online store! The Few and Cursed is a comic book series set in a world ravaged by the disappearance of nearly 90% of the water on the whole planet. It's been seventy years and mankind has learned to survive - barely. The problem is their survival sometimes involves curses and deals with the Devil and that's where she comes in. Redhead is a Curse Chaser going from town to town balancing the scales...

LESS THAN 36HRS LEFT ON THE KICKSTARTER FOR TFAC #5!
over 5 years ago – Tue, Nov 06, 2018 at 12:18:18 PM


Howdy, my friends,

First and foremost I'd like to thank all of your for the overwhelming support and response to my last update re: the delay in shipping your rewards. When I heard the bad news from KrakenPrint my biggest concern was you guys and how to deliver the blow.

You were all very understanding and accommodating and I wanted to register that your reaction did not go unnoticed.  I will go above and beyond to honor my commitment to you and I know that you will be most impressed when your items finally arrive.

I wish I could address you guys about The Few and Cursed #5 under better circumstances but we do what we must, right? Gotta keep this show on the road...

THE ISSUE #5 KICKSTARTER ENDS TOMORROW AT 10PM EST!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/the-few-and-cursed-5?ref=2ujzrk


It looks like this will be the biggest Kickstarter I've ever put together and I very well know it's because most of you have already joined regardless of the delays with issue #4 which is fantastic and worthy of praise. 

For those that haven't joined yet allow me to ask for a leap of faith both in my work and my ability to deliver. I'm a 10-time Kickstarter creator and while delays do occur I've always delivered, it won't be different with issue #4 and it won't be different with issue #5.

I'm looking to reach 1.200 backers and I can't get there on my own. I'd love to keep watching Red's readership grow with every Kickstarter - we hit 1.117 last time and I'm confident we can go over with issue #5.


If you are not comfortable going all in, pledge a single dollar $1. You'll still be counted among the backers receiving all my communication and come the BackerKit in December/January you will be able to switch pledge tiers from "No Reward" to any tier that does not offer exclusive content (like the Chromium Kickstarter edition) while enjoying all the unlocked perks that come with it.

Obviously if we do get full pledges then we get to unlock even more cool stuff. I for one would love to work on a second collectible coin, maybe even a real Metal collectible card and who knows, $45K doesn't seem that far away...


I know I'm asking a lot from you all but we started this adventure together, I'd love to cross the finish line together. Here's the Kickstarter link one more time:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/the-few-and-cursed-5?ref=2ujzrk

Come join us, push us all far beyond the 1.200 backers and way into the $40Ks territory, we all walk away with some incredible loot. WHAT DO YOU SAY!?


Please do not hesitate to contact me with any critiques, comments, thoughts, questions, I always write back regardless whether it's an e-mail at [email protected] or a direct reply to this update.

Once again thank you so much for your kind patience and understanding!

Cheers,
Felipe

P.S.: If we do get to $45K, we would have something like this for The Few and Cursed, a real SNES replica cardboard case shipped to backers. Isn't that cool?!

P.S.: Expect a lot of news over the weekend as fulfillment and shipping continues. Still no books from KrakenPrint though, their estimate is delivery by Friday or Saturday.

And because you guys are awesome here's an exclusive sneak peek at Clonerh's newest artwork - still a work in progress:

Fulfillment has begun!!

Howdy, my good friends!

We're now about a week, a little longer, from getting the books and other remaining rewards from KrakenPrint and to make sure you all get your packages as soon as possible I already started the fulfillment process:


The shipping materials have all arrived, all the envelopes, tape, comic book bags and boards, boxes, everything. And I started signing all the books and comics I already had with me - past issues, variants, the Chronicles.

By the time I get all the new stuff from Kraken I will be ready to get them signed, packaged and shipped asap.


I know this doesn't excuse the delay but I really wanted to share I'm doing my best here to get these out as quickly as I can, my friends. These are just a couple of photos of how my dining table looks like lol

In the meantime though...

The Few and Cursed BOARD GAME - Previewing some of the art, board and more!
over 5 years ago – Mon, Oct 15, 2018 at 11:34:14 PM


Howdy, folks!

Last week I had a couple of backers ask me how production of the upcoming BOARD GAME is coming along and I thought I'd share some news and previews. 

I'm assuming most of you guys already know Rock Manor Games is developing a The Few and Cursed deck-building board game but in case you didn't, take this as a second official announcement \o/

Artwork by Priscilla Petraites & Marco Lesko - the duo is doing a dozen artworks for the game!

The game is designed by Mike Gnade and will feature art by some The Few and Cursed favorite artists including Luke Ross, José Luís, Will Conrad, Harvey Tolibao, Caio Cacau and many more.

We will feature over 100 brand new and exclusively commissioned illustrations and all of them in full color. I'm handling the artwork for the game to keep it in line with the quality and feel of the comics.

Mike, Fabiano and I couldn't be more excited about how the game is turning out. We've done quite a few rounds of play-testing and we feel the mechanics is pretty much done leaving only the actual production of all the art.

Players will start in San Andreas with a deck of 10 cards and the goal is to keep building those decks to venture further and further onto the world chasing curses, treasures and bounties. Pretty exciting, right?!

We're in really good shape for an early 2019 release on Kickstarter and I hope the above sneak peeks get you guys as excited for it as we all are. Don't forget to keep an eye out for The Few and Cursed Board Game next year!!

The Few and Cursed #5 unlocks Stretch Goal 7!


https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/the-few-and-cursed-5?ref=2ujzrk

Yep, you guys are the best and all I can do is profusely thank you all for the overwhelming support of my work and The Few and Cursed

I know we've had some problems with production on issue #4 and yet a lot of you have already pledged to get issue #5. I appreciate that, I really do, thank you so much!!

We're nearing 750 backers and close to unlocking every Stretch Goal planned for this first phase - we already unlocked TWO NEW COLLECTIBLE CARDS!!! That's right, once we unlock all of the above we do have a whole new batch of surprises and swag for the backers :D


We have plenty of time to make The Few and Cursed #5 Kickstarter our best yet even as far as shattering previous records set by issue #4. I hope you guys take this as an incentive to come join us and help us go further and further. 

Our next Stretch Goal is something that really excites me. Mexican artist CLONERH produced what is easily one of the most beautiful Redhead portraits ever so I thought why not do it again, right?

He will be doing a brand new art to be printed as the back-cover of the Kickstarter Exclusive edition which already boasts cover art by Image Comics Birthright's team Andrei Bressan & Adriano Lucas!!!

Clonerh's artwork featured on issue #4. Now he is working on something brand new for issue #5!

Here's the Kickstarter link one more time, come check out what's new on The Few and Cursedhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/the-few-and-cursed-5?ref=2ujzrk

As far as your books they are still en route from Asia and I plan on doing another update when they reach KrakenPrint's facilities in Chicago.

Until then, thanks so much for all your patience and support!

Best,
Felipe
