Gamebook Friday: YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 Late Pledges
It's almost two weeks since YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 funded on Kickstarter, but if you missed it - or you want to add to an existing pledge - it's not too late to add a Late Pledge.
If you put in a Late Pledge you will gain all the benefits of someone who backed the original Kickstarter. For example, any physical copies of YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 will be hardbacks. You will also receive the prints that come with the £20 Gargoyle reward level and above, and if you back at the £50 Calacorm reward level or above you will also receive a pair of custom-made dice.
So don't delay - get your Late Pledge in today!

YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 has funded on Kickstarter!
YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 has funded on Kickstarter, raising an incredible, 35th anniversary-worthy, Fighting Fantasy-tastic
£27,335!
And that's no April Fool!
Thank you to everyone who backed the project or helped spread the word - I really couldn't have done it without you.
Now I just need to write a book worthy of such a magnificent crowdfunding effort, but then with so much happening in Fighting Fantasy's 35th anniversary year, that should make my job a little easier.

YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 has 6 hours to go on Kickstarter!
YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 has just 6 hours to go on Kickstarter, so if you've been considering upgrading your pledge, now would seem like a good time to do so - just make sure you do so before 1:00pm today!
Pledge at the £20 Gargoyle reward level (or above) and simply add £15 to your pledge to receive a second copy of the book.
Pledge at the £60 Gark reward level (or above) and add £40 to your pledge to receive a second copy of the limited edition hardback.
Add £120 to your pledge to receive the Golden Fleece canvas print of Chris Achilleos's cover art for the book.
Since YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 reached its fourth stretch goal yesterday, everyone who pledges to receive a physical copy of the book will also receive:
1 x art print of Chris Achilleos's cover art for YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2
1 x art print of John Blanche's painting of Kharé - Cityport of Traps
1 x art print of Leo Hartas's painted map of north-west Allansia
1 x MP3 download of music inspired by Fighting Fantasy gamebooks
On top of that all copies of YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 will now be hardbacks rather than softbacks.
Gamebook Friday: YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 has 24 hours to go on Kickstarter!
YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2
has only 24 hours to go on Kickstarter and is creeping ever closer to the stretch goal whereby all softbacks that people have pledged to receive automatically become hardbacks!
Backers who have pledged to receive physical copies of the book will already be getting two bonus art prints and an MP3 download of Fighting Fantasy-inspired music, but if the next stretch goal is reached they will also receive a full-colour print of Leo Hartas's map of Allansia.
A new art add-on has also been announced. Add £120 to any other pledge (or select the Golden Fleece reward by itself) and you could be the proud owner of a canvas art print of Chris Achilleos's cover art for YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 .
So if you've been holding out, hoping that YOU ARE THE HERO Part 2 would be published as a hardback, don't delay - back the Kickstarter today!
