[Randy]

hey, my name is Randy Blackwell. I am running a Kickstarter project right now to publish three novels and an RPG Book that all have a redemptive message, spiritual symbolism, and encourage parabolic lessons.

I recently applied for a vendors booth at Dragon Con. Dragon Con is a multigenre convention which takes place once each year in Atlanta, Georgia. As of 2012, the convention draws attendance of 52,000, features hundreds of guests, encompasses five hotels in downtown Atlanta near Centennial Olympic Park, and runs thousands of hours of programming for fans of science fiction, fantasy, comic books, and other elements of fan culture.

There were thousands of applicants for the 350 booths available. Lamplight Media was one of the applicants chosen because of the uniqueness of our product (Christian Fantasy/sci-fi novels, RPG Books, and art). I count it a God thing that we were chosen out of so many secular applicants.

The Kickstarter ends in 20 days. We are 33% of the way to our goal. Please go check it out at:
