Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!

OH NO???? OH YES!!!! For it is confirmed… This flock is laden with ABSOLUTELY FILTHY SICKOS!!!

Through your diabolical actions and obvious proclivity for impure thoughts, this once-chaste campaign has just released forth the last FORBIDDEN STRETCH GOAL in an unholy torrent of desire. Steady thyselves — for the final $666,666 stretch goal has been unlocked!

So what happens now?

We’re going to be adding something spicy … but secret … to the campaign rewards and every single physical and digital backer of this campaign is going to get a taste. YUM.

YES, we know what the secret addition is going to be.

NO, we’re not going to show it to you yet.

Remember: Delayed gratification makes the heart grow fonder … and we’re saving ourselves for campaign fulfillment, baby.

But, in the meantime, we know that many of our most ardent backers need something to keep their impure urges at bay … So here is a sneak peek of our CULT OF THE LAMB #1 SECRET EDITION VARIANT cover (coming soon to backers at the $500 tier and up!) by the salacious and sensational Ed Luce (Wuvable Oaf):

Now, THOSE are some “lamb chops,” amiright? (The final cover will be in color, too!)

As we head into our final hours for the campaign, one very important note: THANK YOU for your massive support, your endless enthusiasm, and even your depraved thoughts, too — this is a truly record-setting campaign that has exceeded ALL expectations, and it’s all thanks to you, our fellow followers. It’s an honor to be working on this series and we can’t wait to share CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE with you all!

Keep spreading the word until the clock strikes 12 midnight ET and our campaign officially closes! We will report back here tomorrow once the final pledges have been pledged (and our sultriest of thoughts repressed for yet another day).

Just remember: YOU DID THIS, YOU MANIACS!

Praise the Lamb,
Team Oni

Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!

The end beckons! Aye, we have reached the final stages of the Lamb’s plan for complete and total Kickstarter domination! On behalf of the entire Oni team, a sincere thanks to every member of the Lamb’s devoted flock – your devotion and support have driven this campaign far beyond any expectations we could have dreamed.

But there is still time, fellow acolyte ... Our final 24 hours now draw near, and all pre-order pledges must be received by 12:59 PM ET tomorrow for our final Forbidden Stretch Goal to be unleashed!

Rejoice, for faith in the Lamb shall lead to victory!

As further proof of our devotion, we’re elated to reveal more evidence of the Lamb’s many wonders … Behold: yet another all-new art piece by the exalted Carles Dalmau (that shall be included as the fourth of the five 11x17” art prints in the CARLES DALMAU CARDSTOCK PRINT SET tier)!

Look for further signs and wonders as we approach our final day! We have such exalted sights left to show you…

Praise the Lamb, 
Team Oni
 

UPDATE! 🔥OUR FINAL WEEK DAWNS…AND THE $666K STRETCH GOAL BECKONS! 🔥

Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!

Thanks to your generous support and unyielding devotion, the CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE campaign has already surpassed our greatest expectations — more than 7,500 followers from around the globe have united to will the first-ever CULT OF THE LAMB graphic novel into our plane of three-dimensional existence.

Also: In yet another display of your limitless generosity, we can report that ALL of the Level Up bisect sets – both the Tier and Add-On versions – have officially been claimed. Yes, all bisect units are completely SOLD OUT! 

But the rewards need not end there! 

We still have three more days to reach the final Forbidden Stretch Goal milestone of $666,666, whereupon we shall add something … spicy (muffled cough) to the campaign rewards. 

(Spicy, but still tasteful, of course, as is the will of the Lamb.)

By the Lamb’s decree, we must go forth and continue preaching the gospel of the One Who Waits across lands far and wide! Stay tuned here for more to come as our final days draw near... 

Praise the Lamb,

Team Oni

UPDATE! 🔥LO, A STRETCH GOAL HAS FALLEN! 🔥 Plus: More Level Up Bisects released as Add-Ons!

Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!

Though April 1st is known throughout our land as the cursed day of “April Fool’s”, fear not … for we have only TRUTH to share with our fellow acolytes of The One Who Waits! 

This devoted flock continues to surprise in exhibiting the depth of its undying fealty to the Lamb, and for that, you shall be justly rewarded! 

For eclipsing our next Forbidden Stretch Goal at the $500,000 mark, the Lamb has decreed that every physical order shall now be bestowed with a meticulously crafted, mini-set of eight (8) CULT OF THE LAMB tarot cards featuring the triumphant artwork of the exalted Brenda Hickey... all of which shall be revealed in due course across the days and weeks yet ahead:

May this bring all who put their faith in the Lamb one step closer to eternal glory!

But the rapturous recompense does not end there: 

We’re answering the prayers of the faithful by unlocking an additional 125 units each of the Kickstarter-exclusive CULT OF THE LAMB Baal and Aym Knucklebones Bisects with an exclusive set of nine (9) clear quartz dice, forged by the fine craftspeople at Level Up Dice. 

And because Level Up’s Bisect sets are already sold out at the tier level, we’ll be adding these additional units ONLY as Add-Ons to the campaign. If you have already completed your order and would like to add a Baal and/or Aym Bisect set to your pre-order pledge, you can find more instructions on how to modify your order via the Kickstarter FAQ here. 

PLEASE NOTE: Each bisect purchase is for one full set of nine (9) clear quartz dice and one Knucklebones bisect case. Some images may depict two bisects and sets.

Now, go forth and continue spreading the word of the CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE high and low… For there may yet be more bounties (🌶️🌶️🌶️) should this flock manage to bring the Lamb’s coffers to $666,666 in the 10 days left to go… 

Praise the Lamb,

Team Oni

UPDATE! Rejoice…for more NEW TIERS are brought forth!

Greetings, Followers of the Lamb!

Your mighty devotion and prayers for more illustrious tokens celebrating the Lamb shall not go unanswered!

And lo, from on high, come four new tiers of limitless glory!

First, an exclusive set of nine (9) RED CROWN CRYSTAL DICE, emblazoned with sacred glyphs and sigils of Lamb's flock, in metallic silver ink. This unique combination of color and design is being created exclusively for this campaign by the artisans of Level Up Dice, who too, share our limitless devotion to The One Who Waits. This is a one-of-a-kind set of dice for each and every cultist and will be available in unlimited quantities – but only for the remainder of this campaign as both a standalone tier and an Add-On!

Next, CULT OF THE LAMB’s beloved tournament of chance and skill smashes into reality with two EXCLUSIVE KNUCKLEBONES BISECTS, also from our acolytes at Level Up Dice! Each Bisect is your half of the Knucklebones playing field, and with specially positioned magnets, it allows you to connect to the other player's Bisect to form a complete play area for you and your opponent to Knucklebones it out! This Bisect set includes a beautifully hand-crafted wooden play area / storage box with a limited run top-face design featuring a choice of either Baal or Aym, as well as a playing field and a rolling tray that includes the basic rules. This item comes complete with all nine (9) dice as an EXCLUSIVE CLEAR QUARTZ DICE SET, never available again in this stone and color combination! Each version is limited to 125 units and will be entirely exclusive to this campaign! 

And finally, at last: We have convened the high council of our sect and been bestowed with more original character sketches and interior art pages from CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE by none other than fellow acolyte and series artist Troy Little! For the benefit of our brethren, we give our last and final limited-edition tier: the SIGNED HARDCOVER + ORIGINAL ART SACRAMENT SET. Extremely limited to JUST 10 UNITS alone, this is the final opportunity to secure both an ORIGINAL 8"x10" CHARACTER SKETCH and ORIGINAL INTERIOR ART PAGE directly from the desk of Troy Little himself – alongside a single copy of the EXCLUSIVE SIGNED HARDCOVER – UNLIMITED EDITION (inscribed by Little and writer Alex Paknadel) and a bounty of this campaign’s most limited offerings, including the BLOTTER PAPER ART PRINT, PANORAMIC GICLÉE PRINT, RITUAL FLAG, DEVOTIONAL CANDLE & MATCH SET, and so much more. Relish in their unearthly delights…or forever hang heavy with regret! 

(The SIGNED HARDCOVER + ORIGINAL ART SACRAMENT SET will also include the recently added CARLES DALMAU CARDSTOCK PRINT SET, so as gesture of our infinite goodwill, we’ll be automatically adding this same item to orders at the higher HERETIC WHITE “INFINITE EXCESS” tier, as well.)

Yes, yes, do you feel it? The power of this flock quickens with each passing moment, ushering us ever closer to the seventh Forbidden Stretch Goal to bring forth even more glorious bounties!

Go forth and continue to spread the good word of CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE … There is so much more yet to come!

Praise the Lamb,

Team Oni
