Tales of The Black Piper

Hi all,

Exciting news! On Saturday, we hit our first $10K (253% of the starting goal), thanks to all of you! That's a great milestone! We still have a long way to go for some great rewards, but we want to celebrate! So, we're excited to enact the first "author payment".

The Author Payment
Every time we hit a multiple of $10K raised (for the first time), all volume 1 authors (those pledged at the Author or Author + Songwriter level) will receive a $20 upfront payment! You will see this in the form of a drop in your tier base price - up to a total of $200 off the cost of a custom soundtrack! This is a special thing we worked out with BackerKit, and we're happy to announce that we have now (as of late Saturday night) dropped both the Author and Author + Songwriter tiers by $20 each.

Options
It's important to note that your current pledges are unaffected. So, if you pledged $350, your pledge is still $350, but the tier/level is now $330. This means you have 3 options. You can:

Caveats/Notes
For those who elect to go with option 2, note that the project funding price will drop as you make your change. This has been accounted for, and you are welcome to do this at any point during the campaign.


Thank you all, and don't forget to spread the word! I've heard from a few author/backers who have been plugging the project "like crazy" to their writer's groups. This is awesome, and all of the word-of-mouth is helping! The more we raise, the more we can give back, so tell your friends, family, fans, neighbors - everyone!- to come support you!


With gratitude and excitement,

Michael & The Team @ The Black Piper

Hi all,

Michael here. We are extremely grateful for the generosity and excitement you all have for this adventurous endeavor! Thank you all - to those who helped make this the first ever campaign to be funded before launch and to those who have shown up on our first day to put us over 175% of the main goal!

To the authors who have signed on: we can't wait to read and engage with your stories musically and in the editing phase. I know many of you have already started writing, and I've had the pleasure to read drafts of a few of them, only heightening my excitement. 

To celebrate the success of this first day, we'll be doing a live stream and inviting you all. We're ironing out the details now, but it's looking like it may be next Saturday, the 11th. I'll let you know. There may or may not be a happy dance involved. It hasn't been confirmed yet.

Lastly, thank you to those who have begun spreading the word! We'll need all we can get over the next 29 days!

You're all the best!
