Not sure if it will yield any results, but in the last 2 days I've posted the KS link and a blurb about it on my Twitter, Mastadon and Bluesky with appropriate comics and ttrpg tags, and to a handful of comic and/or ttrpg FB groups we are a part of. I really dug the first 2 issues and want to see #3 (and more). -M Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Well, we hit the goal! Just barely, but I will take it for sure. I really appreciate everyone's support!
There's still 7 hours left until it ends, so hopefully we'll get a couple more backer before it ends, but I'm just relieved it funded. I'm probably going to set a lower goal for the next issue so it's not as stressful. And I am trying to figure out some ways to make this series more sustainable so I can keep it going.
Of the 14 Kickstarter campaigns I've done, the only ones that I've lost money on are all three Quest issues. I'm basically running just 20 backers short of break even but I haven't been able to really grow the backer base at all from the first issue to close that gap. Barring a last minute surge for this campaign, all three issues are going to come in at almost the exact same number of backers and money raised. So I will need to try and cut costs to bring the cost in line with the support that I do have.
I already have most of issues #4 and #5 done and paid for, so I might just have to eat more losses with those, but starting with #6 I'm going to have to do some belt-tightening, probably meaning fewer variant covers from other artists and more by me. I might also start doing the back covers myself as well to save money, though I already have the back cover for #6 done, so that wouldn't be until issue #7.

If anyone wants to spend their Friday night partying like only comic book nerds can, I'm doing a livestream at 10pm ET to count down the last hour of the campaign. Everyone's invited to join, I'll be fielding questions and talking about comics! The embed feature here doesn't seem to love livestreams, so here's the link.
