Project Update: Update Patch November

Backerkit News

Pre-Orders
I've opened up the pre-order store. Adventures will be made available to buy as a group or individually in early 2025. https://netcrawl.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Surveys
Surveys will be sent out sometime in the next couple of weeks. It's time for me to start planning my next steps with international shipping and I need to see all your fine addresses. Also those of you who added on the Create a Virus assignment, will be contacted soon to begin the process. 
Physical Stuff
The WorldNet poster map, bookmarks and stickers for backers have all arrived. We're waiting on a logotype design for the Token Collect tokens that were unlocked, then we'll send those out to the printer.
Editing
I've been busy writing and that means editing needs to happen. Jeff Scifert and Craig Langrall have joined me on the quest for clarity, proper grammar, and fewer typos.
Layout
Finished content needs to go to layout! Which is where I'm spending my other free times. The most exciting part of all that is commissioning art. In Space No One Can Hear the Robopocalypse is in layout and print run is paid for.
Writing
Brian "Neon Lord" Shutter has shared his 1st Token Collect mini-adventure based on Gauntlet. Brendan LaSalle has checked in with progress on his adventure. Julian Bernick's is in rough draft status and a play test will happen at Planet of the Cyclops Con. I am busy writing various things for the main rulebook and Token Collect. Things are moving along on all fronts nicely.
Art
I've been looking for some new artists, and I found this beauty by Helm. This amazing piece of pixel art will appear as a full page image in the Netcrawl RPG main rulebook. I'd play that avatar any day.


Stefan Poag is on cartography for Robopocalypse and after that is a cover for Brendan LaSalle's adventure.
I'm bringing in some new artists to help spread the load, but Colin Richards, Robbi Burns, Steven Gomez, Juan Ochoa, Jayna Pavlin, J. LaBelle (Sinerous) and John G are working assignments for Robopocalypse. Robbi Burns already turned in their piece!
Cover Artist Announcement!
Lastly, I'm excited to announce that the Peter Mullen is working on the cover of the 4th level adventure, Battle at the End of Time! If you know Peter's work, I'm sure you're as excited as I am!

Events

I'll be at PAX-U December 6th - 8th. I don't have anything on the books, but if you'll be there let me know. I'll probably be near or at the Goodman Games booth. I'm sure there is going to be some after hours hi-jinx. Maybe I'll run some Netcrawl.
U-Con Recap
I ran 2 sessions of Hunt the Wumpoid from Token Collect. Both sessions were great and worked quite well. A few tweaks on the 2nd session got it pretty well dialed in. Really pleased how it turned out.
I also ran a session of Julian Bernick's 4th level Netcrawl adventure, Battle at the End of Time. I was able to get through 3/5 sections. A bunch of veteran gamers at the table (Keith Nelson, with Tor & Bjorn, Roxual Barger). Adventure has a bunch of classic Bernick in it. It will be great.
