Story

 

Briahna Ebelmare, a powerful but lost young woman is taken in by Trias and Liara, founders and leaders of the White Ravens, a rebel faction dedicated to slowing and ultimately stopping the advancing armies of the fascistic Overwatch. The fight has been long and difficult. Supplies and morale are nearly depleted and their enemy is stronger than ever. But when the Ravens pick up an Overwatch defector and the refugee he’s protecting, they have to decide whether to trust them.

 

What will Briahna and the rest of the Ravens risk in order to continue the fight?

 

The White Ravens is an action-packed fantasy adventure set in Theria, the world of the popular podcast Dungeons & Randomness. The story is canon to the events of the D&R podcast, though it stands on its own and you don’t need to have followed the show to enjoy this story.

Budget

We believe strongly in paying creators what they’re worth, so much of the funds we’re raising for this book will go toward a professional page rate for every member of our team. Our next highest costs are printing and shipping. The remainder of the funds will be used for licensing, fees, and any other rewards we unlock. Here's the breakdown:

Timeline

Because we’re relying on crowdfunding to pay our team, we’ve only completed the preview pages of the comic so far. Successful funding will enable the team to prioritize this comic and get the rest of the story done as quickly as we can. We are aware of the possibility of setbacks, and if we fall behind our team have agreed to the possibility of bringing in more high-quality creators to help complete the book. Our goal is to get this book into your hands as quickly as possible, taking into account the time required to produce a quality product.

 

Once the comic is complete, we anticipate printing to take 2-3 weeks, and shipping another 5-7 weeks thereafter. Regular updates will be provided as we reach each milestone.

 

We’re aware that problems could arise during production of this comic, but with our team’s cumulative experience with making comics and crowdfunding campaigns, we don’t anticipate delays. Successful funding of this book gives us the flexibility to adapt to anything that may happen in the coming months so we don’t lose momentum.

 

If we do see any delays at any stage of our process, we’re committed to keeping open and honest communication with our backers to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! We encourage you to get more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.

Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS

Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.

You can either access the transaction through your account and click the cancel button, or contact us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll cancel it for you and send back a confirmation email.

 

Cancellations of rewards or add-ons of $500 or more must be made before there are 72 hours left in the campaign. The reason for this is it can have a negative effect on the tally of the campaign. If it is a limited reward or add-on, there may not be sufficient time for someone else to purchase it, leaving the campaign possibly not funded. We ask for your courtesy of the people running the campaign when making these decisions.

Please use the notes section in the last checkout step or you could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.

If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.

Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.

Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.

No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it!  And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
