Howdy folks,
We did it! All backers will receive a digital copy of Tales of the Bizarre #12 – AMAZING!
NEXT UP:
SCI-FI FANS REJOICE!
All Backers Will Receive A FREE Digital Copy of Dren Productions' UNWANTED #1!
A group of teens are abducted and brought to a secluded, tropical island with no explanation, no supplies and no way off. Left to their own devices and forced to find a way to survive, they soon discover they aren’t alone – and their fellow inhabitants are hostile!
Things become more complicated when boxes begin to appear on the beach near their camp with weapons and supplies of unknown origin inside. Part Lord of the Flies, part Hunger Games, this is a story of survival where you can’t trust anyone.
Spread the word and help lock up another awesome reward!

Stretch Goal #1 UNLOCKED - onto STRETCH GOAL #2

We did it! Took a little longer than anticipated but we cross the first stretch goal for DIGITAL WALLPAPERS! Next up... a FREE DIGITAL COMIC BOOK. But not just ANY comic book – the critically acclaimed DREN best seller Tales of the Bizarre.
That's right you get to see the Ones & Zeroes team in action as we had the lead story in this issue. A late night driver discovers a mysterious object on the side of the road – will he make it home alive?
DREN RECOMMENDS:
Tokyo Blade Detectives #12
Speaking of Tales of the Bizarre #12 – writer Todd Black (who ALSO has a story in Tales #12) has a new Kickstarter out for his Manga series Tokyo Blade Detectives:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/blackmagicwolf/tokyo-blade-detectives-1-12
The story is set 200 years in the future, where Japan has been rebuilt through incredible technology and several new laws. But the one that no one can break is "No Guns Allowed."
While noble, it creates a power vacuum that is filled with groups using "laser swords." Now, the capital of Tokyo is constantly under siege. Five factions have risen up to take everything for themselves, and our main character, Miko, a 16-year-old detective, is just trying to live through it all.
I highly recommend you check it out!

Hi all,
We're off to an awesome start so far and I can't tell you how much cool stuff we've got lined up as the campaign progresses.
To help get this ball rolling, I'm happy to announce we've LOWERED the 1st stretch goal from 2k to $1500. That means we're less than $200 from free DIGITAL WALLPAPERS for all!
So please spread the word and let's get past the first hurdle! Our next stretch goal is a FREE digital comic book! Which one? Well, you'll have to unlock that...
A Simple ReQuest #1
Also, please check out some friends of DREN – A Simple ReQuest #1. The world's most immersive convention FantasyCon is in town. A little to good to be true?! Allison and Brenda are about to find out.

What an incredible start to the campaign, funding in under 12 hours. From the whole team, we truly thank you for your support!
But just because we’ve hit the gates running doesn’t mean we’re slowing down. Announcing stretch goal number one: DIGITAL WALLPAPERS!
Once we cross the 2k mark we’ll send digital wallpapers of all 3 covers to all backers!
Spread the word and let’s keep the momentum going!
Thank you!
