Our Girl Genius Sparks and Monsters Kickstarter is Now Live!

We're excited and terrified to announce that our latest Kickstarter campaign is live. We'll be adding fun things as the campaign goes on, so we hope you'll visit and maybe back it!

Phil wants me to point out that, since we won't be doing conventions for...well, we're not sure how long, this is the best chance to get a copy with a signed bookplate. It's also the best way to get a hardcover edition since those have been selling out very quickly lately.

As always, thank you very much!

The new cover for Girl Genius GURPS

Hi everyone! Right now, with things so precarious, we are especially grateful for all of you who help us out here on Patreon. I've been trying to think of something to amuse you with, and I thought I'd start with this. Yes, it looks like Girl Genius GURPS is really going to happen. The authors did a great job, and  I've read through and done my own editing pass on the manuscript. Phil and Victor* have as well, and Victor even did some worldbuilding for us. Supervised, of course. Here's the cover Phil turned in recently, I'll show you th...

Our new Kickstarter campaign has 12 days left!

Thank you all so much for supporting us here on Patreon! We appreciate it so much, and are currently trying to thing of ways to better show it. Right now, we are running a Kickstarter campaign for our latest Girl Genius Collection: Queens and Pirates! The campaign has funded, and we are well into the stretch goals (and working to come up with more.) The Envelope of Madness is looking good.

I know I need to let you all know about it, but I hate to come to people who are alrea...

Capricon is coming!

Hello, everyone! Thank you for backing our campaign here at Patreon. We really appreciate your support. I thought you might like to see this artwork. As you can see, Winslow is attacking Chicago. I wonder how that will go.

Phil is art GoH at Capricon this year, and I'm going along for the ride. We'll be demoing the new version of the Girl Genius: The Works card game, which ought to be interesting, since neither of us is actually very good at it. We'll also be doing a new Girl Genius radio play. 

The convention is held in Chi...

Our latest Kickstarter is going on now!

Ok, going on about our Kickstarter, when you folks are already so wonderful for helping us out here on Patreon, kind of makes me want to die of shame...BUT it has been pointed out to me by several readers that people might actually want to KNOW about the thing, so here goes. Also, there's a free wallpaper download near the bottom of the page, it's there for all visitors, not just backers, so please stop by! --Kaja

Here's the proper information:

Our latest Kickstarter campaign: Girl Genius: Kings and Wizards has now funded, and we’ve p...

Sketch to Finish...

This is seriously embarrassing, but Phil says I should post it because you all might think it’s interesting. 

So...uh...what happened was, we needed to do a "Science" T-shirt for OffWorld Designs. Phil was stuck on what to do, and was getting really annoyed, so I did this horrible scribbly composition sketch and the picture on the right is what came of it. 

Phil says it was very helpful, and the final is good, so I guess it all worked out, but I'm going to have to do some real drawing again soon just to prove to myself that ...

Our Occasionally Glacial Work Flow...

Hello! I know we don't do much on the actual Patreon page, which feels a little weird, so I thought you all might like a look at this "before and after" shot. The sketch was done around the same time as the first Girl Genius comic, but Phil never got around to drawing it. I saved it all these years, and finally got him to use it as a basis for the color image above. I see that VonPinn didn't make the cut. Hm. This is going to be part of the decoration for a DIY print-it-and-make it yourself box for the Girl Genius First Journey set. That's book...

Our Thanks!

This is the "Thank You" wallpaper for our latest Kickstarter...but we haven't forgotten the people over here at Patreon who are cheering us on in a different way! Thank you, everybody!

These links will stay live at least until May 1 2017. I hope you enjoy the silliness!

An early April wallpaper download!

And...while I'm posting ads for our Kickstarter over here, I've got something better to post as well...here's another wallpaper as thanks for your continued support!

Here's the link to the page where you can download it.  I change the wallpaper there when I've got a new one, so if you like this one, grab it now! Thanks so much!

Well, the new Kickstarter is live...

We went live on Friday, but we're kind of taking a while to really spread the word. There's so much to do! I had to learn to make videos in Premiere Pro. Heh.

I asked Phil for an energetic picture of the GG characters...

For our last KickStarter campaign, Phil drew a really energetic picture of the characters as the special "Thank You" wallpaper. This time, I asked for something like that, and this is what I got. I thought you guys might like to see it fresh off the drawing board! --Kaja

A Gingerbread Castle Wallpaper!

Hi everyone! Thank you so much for supporting us here on Patreon. We're still complete Patreon noobs, so please bear with us if we make mistakes.

I've uploaded a new "Thank You" wallpaper as an appreciation for all the donations. I've made it in a few different sizes, you can download them individually or you can grab the zipped file with all of them.

Here's the download page!

We hope you all have a wonderful N...
