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...

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Exclusive art preview for The Few and Cursed game as it demoes next week at Gen Con! Plus LAST FIVE DAYS of the Lost Kids on Kickstarter!
over 5 years ago – Fri, Jul 27, 2018 at 01:34:37 PM


Howdy, gang of misfits! How are y'all doin'!?

I'm sure most already know that Rock Manor Games (from Maximum Apocalypse fame) is developing and designing a The Few and Cursed board game complete with exciting cards, miniatures and other collectibles.

And it gives me great excitement to share some of the exclusive art we're getting done for it! Fabiano and I will be handling the art and world-building for the game so it stays in line with the lore we're creating. This is an amazing opportunity to go way beyond the Redhead in a way that not even the Chronicles did it.

We're really bringing some fan favorite artists to the game as much as some exciting new names that I've been wanting to work with for a while now like Brazilian artist Zé Carlos that did this phenomenal Crows of Mana'Olana:


We want this game to be as beautiful as it is cool to play! And believe me, I played an earlier prototype and had an absolute blast! For those attending GenCon next week, Mike and Rock Manor Games will be demoing the game for fans :D

LAST FIVE DAYS ON KICKSTARTER WITH THE LOST KIDS!!

-----> CLICK HERE TO VISIT THE LOST KIDS ON KICKSTARTER & PLEDGE 


I also wanted to share with you all we're going into the final stretch of The Lost Kids: Seeking Samarkand Kickstarter and doing great! We've unlocked some exciting Stretch Goals including a (new) personal favorite:


We're producing an exact replica of a SNES game box as if the Lost Kids had been released as an RPG back in the 90s. These will be mailed along with the book and backers will be able to fold up the box themselves for display.

I can't wait to get a feel for these once backers get them as I'm thinking of doing something similar for the next Few and Cursed Kickstarter (coming in the Fall!). 

Please consider putting your support behind this release as well as we work to unlock as many Stretch Goals as possible, perhaps even producing a new collectible coin like the one you guys unlocked earlier this year:

The Lost Kids is a steampunk adventure with more than enough action and monsters to rival The Few and Cursed, folks, I hope you like our previews! 

Thank you so much for your consideration and until our next update as we make progress with the board game and issue #5. Lots of excitement are ahead for us and Red!

Cheers,
Felipe

Hello, everyone!

I hope this finds you all well and eager to finally check out The Few and Cursed #4 (and previous issues for those new readers) and find out what happens next to the Redhead as she continues chasing the Crows of Mana'Olana \o/

Before we get into the technical stuff I'd love to take a moment to first THANK YOU so much if you are already a backer in my latest release on Kickstarter The Lost Kids: Seeking Samarkand fantasy/steampunk adventure!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/the-lost-kids-seeking-samarkand-part-1?ref=5ata07


We're doing absolutely fantastic and have unlocked multiple Stretch Goals and really it's because of you guys.
If you haven't checked out The Lost Kids yet I highly recommend you do. We've got more than enough action, monsters and thrills to match The Few and Cursed with the added magic twist to it ;)

Onwards to the good stuff -- THE DIGITAL REWARDS!

I will be using BackerKit to send all the digital downloads and they are ONE PER BACKER. If you haven't locked down you survey you are not getting the files.

You guys will be getting a direct e-mail from BacketKit LATER today with all your digital rewards and download instructions (this is more of a heads-up to keep an eye out on your inbox or spam folder).

The Kickstarter exclusive edition with chromium holo-foil upgrade will look phenomenal!

You guys are way overdue and unfortunately if I cannot get the filled-out surveys back, BackerKit won't be able to ship your rewards - both digital and physical.

NO SURVEYS, NO REWARDS!

I cannot ship rewards to backers with incomplete surveys, guys, so please hit the link below and enter the e-mail address you used on Kickstarter to get another personalized survey link:

The most beautiful Redhead art yet... also production update!
over 5 years ago – Wed, Jul 04, 2018 at 01:55:34 AM


Howdy, folks!

I'm happy to share with you the last two production pieces for The Few and Cursed #4 Kickstarter and our most up-to-date production schedule (please scroll down for details!): 

- CLONERH'S BACK-COVER ART FOR THE KICKSTARTER EXCLUSIVE EDITION


- THE 3D DESIGN FOR OUR 1ST COLLECTIBLE COIN


Yes, as you can tell from the render above, we've upgrade the coin from resin to a composite metal! These should be very exciting to collect and own \o/

I'm looking to go to print by the end of the week and handle the pre-press next week so our production schedule looks something like this:

  • July 6th - Off to print
  • July 11th - Digital Files sent thru BackerKit (I still have 48 surveys unanswered!)
  • July 16th - Pre-press complete / files reviewed / Production start
  • September 17th - Books and other items tentatively arrive
  • September 24th - Fulfillment begins
  • October 4th thru 7th - NYCC and the launch of the Kickstarter for Issue #5
  • October 22nd - Shipping and fulfillment ends

Hopefully we won't deviate much from the dates above but seeing how I depend on the printer, on Fedex and other third-party services, there are some things out of my control so at this point these are my best estimates.

I also stress that if anybody needs to reach out please either reply these updates directly or e-mail me at [email protected]

THE LOST KIDS: SEEKING SAMARKAND LOOKING TO UNLOCK STRETCH GOAL #2!


https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/felipecagno/the-lost-kids-seeking-samarkand-part-1?ref=5ata07

Thanks to overwhelming support from a lot of you guys we've managed to hit our initial goal in a little over seven (7!!!) hours and after one week on Kickstarter we're now currently working to unlock Stretch Goal #2 (and we're really close, less than $100 close!


I hope to see all of you guys in Samarkand for this very personal and passionate project that has more than enough action and monsters to rival The Few and Cursed :) 

Here's a couple of artworks to help me sell the action:


 


I hope to do as many special collectibles with the Lost Kids as you allowed me to do with The Few and Cursed so if an action-adventure filled with magic and airships is your cup of tea, come on over, I'd love to have you for another bout!

Thank you for your continued support!

Cheers,
Felipe
