Project Update: October Update: Backerkit Surveys, the Zine(tm), Big Bad

Hey folks, Sylvan here!

Seemingly with a finger snap, September has come to an end. Rolling, roiling, boiling heat has cascaded down from the foothills and washed over my home like a flood, baking us into the tarmac and sapping away the morning dew before we get back up again. Devildays, the hottest season of the year in Wanderhome, seems to come earlier and stay later every year.

Enough with the poetry.

Sorry! Heat makes me languish, and when I languish, I get wordy. September was extremely productive for the BTF crew--we've stayed completely on schedule, which is extremely exciting. Within the next 24 hours, you'll all be sent Backerkit surveys (I'll send out another short update reminding you to fill them out this week). You will have 2 weeks to fill out your survey. That includes adding on any extras you want to snag, giving us your shipping address, and paying postage. Once those two weeks have elapsed, the survey will close, and you will not be able to fill it out.

You can also all expect the PDF to be delivered to your inbox within the next couple of days. We're finalizing a couple of laaaaaast touches, and then the game will well and truly be done. And it looks..

Well.

Take a peek yourself :)

As a reminder, the zine-only orders will start shipping out by the end of October. Once I submit that print order on Monday, I'll be calling a meeting with the team to figure out our precise timeline for delivering All Of The Extra Things(tm) like the postcards, map template, playing and tarot card, and Book of Legend. You can expect that information soon. My optimistic estimate remains that you will all have all of your deliverables in-hand by the end of November, and there's nothing that's indicated to me yet that it won't be possible. I'll keep you in the loop.

Stay cool, stay dry, stay safe, my friends.

You'll be hearing from me soon.

With gratitude,
Sylvan

PS: Nic and I will be at Big Bad Con this year running Before the Flood! Event sign-ups are happening right now, so go find us and get in on the action!
