Getting there - more then halfway now, and still over a month to go. Not too shabby. I'd like to see this reach the $200 million mark. 
If it reaches $100K, you should offer a T-shirt with Brian posing with the Duck Dynasty guys. I just feel like that needs to exist. 
Serious Suggestion: I realize that its all concept art at this point, but I really feel the 'Hacker's Guide' should have a picture of an Inheritor with a huge axe raised, ready to HACK some creature - or person - in two (with a Red Monolith dominating the background, of course).
Then you get Ed Greenwood to write the story behind the pic; something real short, as an intro to that tome.

Thanks Todd!
If anyone from Candlekeep does pledge to the RED AEGIS kickstarter, please send us a message through the site with your Candlekeep handle. Matt and I want to do something special for our Candlekeep supporters. |

LOL - I haven't worn a 'Candlekeep supporter' since gym class in High School.
Gotta keep the ol' candle safe, ya know.
Can't believe how close you guys are to your primary goal already - looks like you are going to have a LOT of work ahead of you. Fortunately, it'll be a labor of love. |

| The primary goal is just the beginning. Once we are funded, then the stretch goals start to kick in! |

To Brian and Matt: Congratulations on getting funded. You've clearly inspired the RPG community and I for one can't wait to see what comes next from Red Aegis. Great stuff.*cheering emoticon*

| Do you guys have a Red Aegis presentation or other event at Gen Con? If so, you should let the gang here know about it. |

I'm a guest of honor this year, so you can bet I'll be trying to get content in about Red Aegis when I can. Otherwise, you can come visit Brian and I at the "World Building with the James Brothers" seminar: SEM1344237

About one of our Stretch Goals: RED AEGIS TACTICS
Chronospheric storms wrack the annuls of time and space as the anchors of power react violently against the impending invasion. Bloodlines vie for power as they call upon the prestige of their past, and summon forth the vestige of their famed ancestors. Glory to the victor as the death of all ages begin!
Red Aegis Tactics is a small tactical skirmish game that is designed for 2-6 players. Players construct an army using everything from axe-weilding barbarians, to spell-slinging archmages--from incredulous biker gang vagabonds, to futuristic space soldiers. This is truly the battle of all ages. Construct your army, deploy to the fields of battle, and defend the prestige of your legacy.

Sorry about that, Matt. It's the limitations of the Snitz software, unfortunately.
Rest assured Candlekeep 2 will have image-uploading capability.
In the meantime, linking directly to image-host sites is still a viable [though not as convenient] method, should you wish to proceed further with this. |

Just about at $32K - I guess the hacker's guide (to be use with the Pathfinder rules) is now going to be produced. Lets see if we can hit the next goal. 
I am SO tasting that Ed Greenwood written adventure module! Lets make that happen!*
*Any chance something like that could have 'adaption' notes on how to use it in FR, and perhaps Gol? Something along the lines of what Paizo used to do with their Dungeon AP's? I realize that would mean securing permission, but with both Ed and Stephen Radney-MacFarland onboard, that might be a remote possibility. |

I just noticed there are two 50K stretch-goals and no 45K goal - is that a mistake?
Getting real close to the 'Ed Greenwood goodness'. |
