Tomorrow is Kickstarter Day! To celebrate, I thought I’d show off some paraphernalia I’ve acquired over the years to connect with these characters and the world they lived in.




The matchbook is the first item I collected, and the brochure is the second. The newspaper clipping is one I obtained later on, but all three have to do with the Furness Prince Line.


For books most are for research, but others were for vibes or setting. Not pictured is Into the Amazon: The Life of Cândido Rondon by Larry Rohter, which I have in ebook.

Cornelius’ camera, a Kodak Eastman No. 2C Autographic edition. Mine is awfully rough shape, but when I stumbled upon it in a local thrift store I knew it was meant to be. Cornelius’ is a little bit different, his has the red bellows.

A postcard from the Butantan Institute in São Paulo, where antivenin was developed and our characters witness the process, and its effects.

Lastly, a Camillus pocket knife. Watt carries a Camillus TL-29, which is an electrician’s knife. This is not a TL-29, but it is a well aged electrician’s knife like the one he would’ve used, and from the same company.
