Hail to the Shield-Guard! The Skjald-hirð carries the day! (FUNDED!)

And with a mighty pledge, backer Mark S takes us well into final territory!

That’s it. We’ve crossed the goal, and if we keep on this trajectory, I will begin letting contracts to get the work needed to complete the book going.

the “real” shields will be slightly different than the above:

• I have secured an awesome source for more historically accurate bosses. Mild steel, proper weight, pressed rather than spun.
• The hide edging will be 1oz goathide instead of 2-4 oz deer hide. More historical on the thickness and weight.

Thanks to you all for your contributions so far, and let’s spread the word and keep it up!
