Last Four Days, Then Off to Clockwork Alchemy

Hello Awesome Backers:
We are into the last four days of the campaign and still going strong. Lots is going on in the background, which I'll fill you in on after the campaign. Unfortunately, I've been sick the last week, so I'm doing the bare minimum and watching a lot of Netflix. I've never been much of a zombie fan, but I finally watched Train to Busan, and it was good! There are some interesting subtle moments in it that I've never seen in zombie movies before. Definitely worth the watch, but I digress...
I will be on the road to Clockwork Alchemy in San Mateo when the campaign ends, so I will send my "what comes next" post probably the next day.
In the meantime, I ran across a couple of very cool campaigns that could use your help.
