$50K stretch goal unlocked: LYLE magnet!

Posted on May 5, 2024 by David M Willis
Dumbing of Age Book 13 Kickstarter update!: The campaign’s countdown has shifted from counting down days to counting down HOURS, and here we are, near the end, unveiling our twelfth character magnet!:  LYLE! Lyle’s magnet will be about 2″ x 4.5″ and you can pledge for him by himself you want!  He’d pair nicely with your FREE LUCY MAGNET, I think!  Two siblings for the price of one!  If you need slightly more than just him, the PICK THREE and PICK FIVE MAGNETS tiers are right over there as well! And, yeah, COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tiers await those who need them all.
About sixty hours remain as of this writing, and maybe in that last two-and-a-half days, we can push this thing to $55K and unlock a thirteenth magnet for the thirteenth book!  A bonus JENNIFER magnet is still a possibility. This Kickstarter ends Tuesday night at 11:45pm Eastern!  Pledge before you can’t!

At $50K, we’ll unlock the LYLE MAGNET tier!  (That’s Lucy’s brother.)  That rounds out the usual 12 magnets, but what if I told you there could be a 13th magnet?  WELL IT’S TRUE, if we get to $55K, there’ll be a new JENNIFER MAGNET!  Hot dang!

$45K stretch goal unlocked!: HALLOWEEN BECKY magnet

Posted on April 27, 2024 by David M Willis
DUMBING OF AGE BOOK 13 KICKSTARTER UPDATE At $45K, HALLOWEEN BECKY is now unlocked!  This magnet is 2″x4″ of in-your-face dinosaur rustlin’.  Pledge for just her at the Halloween Becky tier, OR (or!) pledge for the HALLOWEEN BECKY and HALLOWEEN DINA magnets tier!  Both, obviously.  Both is good.  Dinosaur eats man, woman inherits the earth. And, of course, the PICK THREE or PICK FIVE MAGNETS tiers are out there, if you need more than just those two goofballs. And, yeah, the COMPLETE MAGNET POWER tier is getting pretty dang enticing at this point, huh!  And that’s even with a few more magnets still to come! Pledge today!  10 days remain.
