I suspect not, unless a distributor came to us and offered to pay for a second entire print run at least as large as the first. I don't think we can overstress how expensive this game is to produce -- Phil wasn't exaggerating when he said that by any rational pricing scheme, this is a $300+ game.

It appears that the total print run will be more than 10,000. So, thanks to your support, we’ll be printing more than three times as many as we originally planned to. That includes over 5,500 directly through Kickstarter.

In the comments under Update #75, Phil says "It's a single printing (approximately 12,000 units total across all three editions)".

[The three editions are retail, KS with Pocket Ogre, KS without Pocket Ogre.]

I keep forgetting that your revenue model isn't normal on this game; you're peddling it at cost. I still want that novel, though. :)
