The Few and Cursed

Created by Felipe Cagno

Welcome to The Few and Cursed & Timberwolf Entertainment online store! Please scroll down for all our titles, collectibles and extras including digital editions of every comic book and sold out editions like both 321: Fast Comics volumes. The Few and Cursed is a creator-owned comic book series about people trying to survive a wicked world where most of the water was gone overnight in a mysterious apocalyptic event in 1840. Red is a hardened survivor that was born in this reality and now fights to protect the innocent. As for every darkness there is also light among those few and cursed there are those willing to fight to bring balance to the lands: the Curse Chasers.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

$35K Stretch Goal UNLOCKED! Social Stretch Goal ANNOUNCED! Origins Game Fair RECAP! Reddit's AMA featuring me!
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Jun 18, 2019 at 10:45:32 PM

Alright, alright, alright...

We smoked one more Stretch Goal, that's number 11 already, and not only that we're also well over 1.000 backers!!!

So that means we get to have a DOUBLE ANNOUNCEMENT today \o/

Thank you all so much for the unbelievable support! This has been just an all around fantastic Kickstarter and as always it's thanks to you all!!

The next Stretch Goal adds THREE POSTCARDS to every pledge towards a print copy of the comic book. Not only that but backers will be able to pick the three artworks to be printed through a poll online!

I'm also launching a new Social Stretch Goal since these have been quite popular over at the Board Game's Kickstarter campaign:

That's right! If and when we reach 1.400 backers every backer pledging towards a print copy of the book will get a FULL SET OF NINE CHROMIUM CARDS FEATURING CHARACTERS FROM CHRONICLES OF THE FEW AND CURSED =D

I've been wanting to do a Chronicles collection of cards for a while now and I think this might be the perfect opportunity for it. Just continue help spreading the word about The Few and Cursed and I'm sure we will hit the goal in no time!

I also have plenty of exciting news about the Board Game...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikegnade/the-few-and-cursed-board-game?ref=50phvx

I just came back from Origins Game Fair in Columbus, OH this weekend and it was just a fantastic experience. I finally got to play the latest and most complete version of the game and (sure, I might be biased) it's absolutely a lot of fun, one of the best board games I've ever played!

Mike and I played a match that lasted two hours while we tested as much of the mechanics as possible and time just flew by. It's pretty amazing how Mike's design really puts players in the shoes of a Curse Chaser inside the world of The Few and Cursed.

We also tested the game with six players instead of four as originally designed and it's just as much fun if not more so if we get to unlock the two extra characters we have come up with The Few and Cursed Board Game will officially be a game for 1 to 6 players.

The best part of being involved with the game's creation as well is how both the comics and the game overlap. While thinking of extra characters for the board game I came up with a pretty interesting character:

ZÉ AMADO - THE  REDDIT SOCIAL STRETCH GOAL

Zé Amado is this smooth-talking, charming and cunning con man that made his way to the desert of the Pacific Ocean all the way from Brazil. He's the true embodiment of ginga - a very Brazilian trait that means flexibility and out-of-the-box thinking when faced with a problematic situation.

We are unlocking this extra character to be added to the Deluxe Edition of the game through a Social Stretch Goal and you can expect Zé Amado to make his comic book debut in 2020.

I will be LIVE on Reddit's "Ask Me Anything" page this Wednesday June 19th at 4pm EST to answer any and all questions about working with comics, Kickstarting  over a dozen projects and sharing my Hollywood tales as a film making  graduate.

Once that link is up on Wednesday you will be able to up vote it so  it's featured in their home page. If we get enough votes we unlock ZÉ AMADO. Pretty simple, right?

Project Spotlight

For those that are yet not familiar with my Spotlights I truly believe in the community feeling around Kickstarter and how it should go well beyond creator and backers. I started doing these way back in one of my first Kickstarters and it just feels great sharing interesting projects I think should get a look from you folks.

It was through one of these Spotlights that Mike Gnade and myself met resulting in the Board Game. Not only that but we actually met because a common backer put us in touch, pretty awesome, right?

INFERI (Relaunch)

Link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/caseybowker/inferi-relaunch

Ruben Romero is a passionate comic book creator and a good friend so it's only fitting that I start these project spotlights with one of his projects. Inferi has a little over a week left on the clock and are almost funded so if you are looking to support another creator head over to the link above.

From their own page: "Inferi follows the adventures of 3 Quantico students and their Professor who travel the globe solving crimes committed by mythological  creatures. Little do they know that's just the beginning as a shadowy  organization watches their every move and makes plans of it's own to  stop our intrepid heroes. A Mythologically Thrilling Crime Saga Comic Book. Think Buffy meets Supernatural meets The Sopranos."

I will be back in touch on Wednesday with the Reddit's AMA link but feel free to leave me comments, questions or critiques anytime whether it's through the Kickstarter page or shooting me an e-mail at [email protected]

THANKS!!!!

There goes another Stretch Goal...!!!! Also Fabiano finished the first five pages... want a peek?
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Jun 15, 2019 at 07:49:22 PM

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikegnade/the-few-and-cursed-board-game?ref=50phvx

The Few and Cursed Board Game is now a PROJECT WE LOVE on Kickstarter, folks, and that's absolutely phenomenal! It's awesome having the support from the platform too as we are really gunning for some exciting Stretch Goals already :D

We are well over 100% funded and past 1.000 backers. Not only we are doing regular Stretch Goals we're really loading up on Social Stretch Goals as well.

We have already unlocked two Stretch Goals, The Fallen Immortals mini-expansion and a second Red miniature. That's right, the game comes with TWO REDHEAD MINIATURES!

Next up is:

The Facebook Social Goal

We also have a social Facebook Stretch Goal which I'd really appreciate your help in unlocking!

Please share THIS POST RIGHT HERE on Facebook and at 100 shares both the Retail and Deluxe editions of the game get an extra 3 New Cursed Encounters with gorgeous artwork by Brazilian artist Gio Guimarães!

Just hit the link above or the image below, log in to Facebook, and share. Easy-peasy! 

We're constantly announcing new Stretch Goals, both traditional and social, and I really want the game to be released in its best version possible!

If you haven't pledged yet please consider clicking the link and coming over:

PHASE 2 HAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED NOW THAT THE FIRST STRETCH GOAL IS GONE!

We made it! We've reached $33k \o/

It's too good to be true... I'm sure I will wake up at some point and realize this Kickstarter hasn't happened yet in real life. We still have another 20 days to go and already we're unlocking Phase 2 Stretch Goals.... WOW!!!!

We are now chasing one of my favorite Stretch Goals we've been able to unlock for a few Kickstarters now: the double-sided bookmark! And this one is being produced by artist JULIO CESAR!

We are going for a really fun and cartoony look for Red this time as if The Few and Cursed was going to be an animated show. Would you guys watch something like that by any chance?

Work In Progress preview! Final artwork will most definitely vary but I really wanted to share this sneak peek \o/

EXTRA STRETCH GOAL

As of this moment we're past 950 backers on Kickstarter and I decided to do something cool for you all. If we hit 1.000 backers in the next ten days I will announce an EXTRA STRETCH GOAL that is not on the board.

And it will be a good one.... shall we do it?!

Please post, tweet, share The Few and Cursed, show it to friends and family, let's really get our strength from numbers!

LAST BUT NOT LEAST...

Fabiano finished the first five pages of Issue #6 which are currently with colorist Tiago Barsa.

I can't show much as to not spoil the reading but here's a little taste. Fabiano is really bringing his "A" game to the finale...

And with that I make it to the end of this really exciting Update.

Thank you all so much for the incredibly awesome support and all your pledges both here towards the comics and at our sister Kickstarter towards the game. It's you that make The Few and Cursed so special and we all appreciate it!

Any questions, comments or critiques, I'm always all ears =)

Cheers!

New Redhead one-of-a-kind original artworks for sale!
almost 5 years ago – Sat, Jun 15, 2019 at 07:48:56 PM

Howdy, my friends!

Quick update to let you know I managed to secure two more ORIGINAL ARTWORKS featuring the Redhead to offer as rewards during this Kickstarter only.

Both artworks are 1 of 1 and available now!

ALEXANDRE TSO's artwork will be featured in the Gallery of Guest Artists at the end of the book and the finished version will mix traditional art (pictured above) with digital colors.

The art comes signed by both Tso and myself.

ALLAN JEFFERSON's artwork will be given away as our special Summer Mini-Print to backers pledging towards the Summer Special Combo ($33) and other higher tiers too.

This artwork was completely painted in watercolor and looks absolutely gorgeous up close. Also comes signed by Jefferson and myself.

For those interested collectors, happy hunting!

Cheers,

Felipe

Another Stretch Goal bites the dust!
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Jun 11, 2019 at 01:40:42 AM

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR AN AWESOME KICKSTARTER!!!!

Those backers pledging towards the Kickstarter Edition just got something pretty exciting:

Backers going for a Regular or either of the Variants don't fret we do have something special planned for you as well coming up.

If you think the below are all our Stretch Goals you'd be sorely mistaken... that's just Phase 1! There's a whole new batch of SGs as soon as we get to $30K which I can't believe is already so close with so much time on the clock yet \o/

Our last Phase 1 Stretch Goal is already on the horizon so please let's keep spreading the word about The Few and Cursed, folks. We also have a pretty sweet surprise coming up if and when we get to 1.000 backers \o/

The more the merrier!

TFAC BOARD GAME IS OVER 94% FUNDED

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikegnade/the-few-and-cursed-board-game?ref=50phvx

We had a pretty high initial goal but man we've been flying and we're looking to fund it today actually! 

And what's really exciting is Mike and I worked out the Stretch Goals together so you comic book fans know you can expect a LOT of awesome content to be unlocked in the following weeks :D

If you have yet to come check out the board game please click the link and pay us a visit. Mike did an exceptional job translating the lore and Few and Cursed experience into a fun game with tons of replayability, you'll really feel inside one of the comics!

I really appreciate you all showing up in full force for Red, it really means a lot to Fabiano and myself, we feel we are really working on something that you made so special.

If you have any comments, questions or critiques, please do not hesitate to drop us a line right here on Kickstarter or via e-mail at [email protected]

All the best!

Felipe

All Phase 1 Stretch Goals have been UNLOCKED!! Bring on the next batch =D
almost 5 years ago – Tue, Jun 11, 2019 at 01:40:40 AM

And so it happened! You have unlocked every Phase 1 Stretch Goal available in record time, congrats!!!!!

Thank you so much for bringing The Few and Cursed Issue #6 so far in so little time, it's so exciting to contemplate all the content we can unlock before the Kickstarter ends!

Here's everything unlocked already:

And since you folks are really enjoying this whole Stretch Goals unlocking, how about we keep that trend going?

Here's a whole new batch of Stretch Goals!! And these are really designed to take Red and The Few and Cursed to a whole other level.

How many do you think we might be able to unlock?

BOARD GAME 100% FUNDED!! HOW ABOUT WE UNLOCK SOME STRETCH GOALS OVER THERE AS WELL?

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mikegnade/the-few-and-cursed-board-game?ref=50phvx

It's such an awesome coincidence that we've unlocked Phase 1 and funded the Board Game with a few hours apart from each other! The Few and Cursed Summer train is really speeding along \o/

Now that the game has been funded Mike and I have announced the first batch of Stretch Goals (scroll down) and not only that but we have already unlocked a Social Stretch Goal which is a big one:

This expansion adds FOUR MINIATURES and Encounter Cards to the Deluxe Edition adding a whole new dangerous layer to the game play. This was unlocked hitting 200 "Likes" on Board Game Geek.

Now we are moving on to our next Social Stretch Goal and this time we're taking over Facebook!

Log into Facebook, hit the link or image below and LIKE and SHARE the post. As soon as hit 100 Shares or 200 Likes we will add 3 new beautifully illustrated cursed encounters. If we hit both stats then we will throw in a 4th!!

Facebook Post: https://www.facebook.com/rockmanorgames/photos/a.1812927448927015/2377306095822478/?type=3&theater

I think we can get that many Likes and Shares pretty easily, what do you all think?

As for the announced Board Game Stretch Goals there's plenty of fantastic stuff planned including an added character - Alistair Fairweather!

If you haven't checked out the game yet, come on over and help us deliver the best possible version possible \o/

From the bottom of my hear thank you so much for your incredible support and confidence in the work Fabiano and I have been doing with The Few and Cursed!

It's because of you that we will continue developing this universe for a long time to come yet. If you have any questions, comments or critiques please leave me a comment or message or shoot me an e-mail at [email protected]

I'm always around!

Cheers,

Felipe
