Quite frankly, I think it's incredible we managed to get this many! Because we launch our KS on March 1, I want to make haste to get the process started. So, here is a poll in which you can vote on your preferred character design. Each will be an ally of Igraine in Bound for the Styx.
This is our current Igraine miniature. Still painting a prototype for the display.
Kickstarter Q&A
This is the Q&A section I wish to include in the Kickstarter. If you have other questions, let me know.
Do you have a community?
Yes. We have a discord server.
Are all books illustrated?
Yes. Illustrations are very important to me.
Can I be a proofreader for future books?
YES! Please join our discord above and contact me.
I don't have a credit card or don't have money to spare. Can I support the series in another way?
Yes! First of all, word of mouth is very important for any indie creator. It means more for the potential readers it hears from fans than from the creator himself.
Second, if you want to support Kickstarter. please send a message here, through our website, or PM me on Discord. Then we'll arrange it through a payment method that suits you.
Do you offer Hard Covers?
Not yet. I still have a lot to learn about formatting and style. Where to get my books printed the way I want them to, etc. Although I have greatly improved, I want to be sure the hardcover editions are the definitive versions.
Do you have audiobooks?
Yes. Bound for the Styx is already done. I'm doing my best to get the Wrench in the Machine out as soon as possible. You can also check out our Youtube channel Radio Retrofuture for short stories.
Are there going to be more books and comics in the series?
Yes. The novels will be on the back burner to expended the universe with several novelettes. These will also continue Igraine's adventures.
Will the Nyctolar from the first book be back?
Yes. I have plans for them. But first, I continue the adventures of Igraine and the Casket Girls.
Are you going to do a Table Top Roleplaying game?
I m asked this question a lot. We would love to. However, this is going to depend on you! At this time, there are no plans to develop games. We do have the ambition, and some Indy game devs have offered to help. However, this is a time-consuming and costly process. At this moment, the series does not have sufficient readers to warrant this. You can help by spreading the word and voicing your ideas in our discord.
In the meantime, we have a World Anvil. It's not much at the moment because I simply don't have the time. Therefore the community is free to use it. However, it can be edited by Patrons only (at any tier).
Can I support The Association of Ishtar in other ways?
Yes. You can join our discord, subscribe to our website, and share our links. Offer your time proofreading, making art, or participating as a voice actor in future videos. This is a multimedia project that I have worked on and paid for by myself. I'm simply stretched to my limit and looking for people to help me delegate work. Especially to organize community activities, like writing workshops or other fun challenges, or roleplays.
You can also help me afford editing, illustrators, etc., by supporting me on Patreon or Subscribestar.
I am an Illustrator, and I love to do work for AoI, or make Steampunk in general. Can I make art for the series?
You are free to make (fan) art for AoI and offer it up for publication with your name credited to the product. If you want to offer commissions, DM me on Discord or send me a message through www.associationofishtar.com.
This is excellent, I was unaware of the discord community for this fascinating project. The prototype model alone is well worth supporting the Kickstarter, and now I really must dig deeper into the Association!
From the character art for the other possible models that will be a hard choice to make. I'm inclined towards Cabbie, Nier and Cutter the most personally though that's not narrowing the field much! Will there be a poll set up somewhere or will you be collecting information from comments?
