Amazing success of our Kickstarter campaign!

Our Kickstarter campaign for the Gaia anthology has surpassed 50,000€ today! It’s currently the most popular comics-related campaign on all of Kickstarter: [1], [2]!
To celebrate the success, I plan to further increase the quality of The Complete Gaia hardcovers by chosing the following printing options: a round spine, an endband, and a bookmark. See the following news post on Kickstarter for details.
Celebrate with a Ryker stamp! Not a stamp-pad-ink stamp like the others, but an Ileasaar postage stamp. Don’t you think they’d issue a stamp honoring a martyred hero?
Please be careful – so many webcomic Kickstarters went wrong by adding stretch goals they hadn’t costed properly. Lots of extra sales doesn’t necessarily mean the margin to increase the cost per book! People are happy with what they’ve already put money down and would rather you did well from the Kickstarter and be able to produce more material, rather than losing money by adding extras.

The best way is what Harebrained Schemes did with shadowrun returns. First start a kickstarter to create the basic engine/mediocre game, build reputation & then expand on it with highly acclaimed sequels.
No one hinders Novil to later on draw on his supporters & do another kickstarter, if there should ever be demand.
The error is rather to try to do all at once, which usually is too much.
@ Arky:
I agree.
