Hello Curious Cats,

It's been about a week since I let you know that Pledge Manager surveys were going out. Check out our previous update if you need to refresh your memory. We're just about at the 85% response marker, so there's still about a hundred of you that need to check their email and complete the survey.

Hopefully some reward distribution will help inspire you! Because I've got some rewards to send out!

If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://curious-cats-of-mau.backerkit.com/

Many of the rewards for our Crowdfunding projects take a lot of time and effort to complete. Usually, the crowdfunder is a means of moving the project from an idea (even when it's a mostly-fully-written idea) into the actual channel that turns it into a project/product. It'll be a while before we're ready to talk about delivery on Curious Cats of Mau.

That said, there are a few rewards that are available now, as they were mostly add-on PDFs of existing products. And now we can work on getting those out to you over the next few days.

The following Add On Rewards Will Be Distributed This Week:

It's basically this section from our Add On Menu:

With Realms of Pugmire currently in production, backers who have added that book to their rewards will also get the draft manuscript for that book until the PDF is available.

Your link to claim these digital rewards will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the next few days. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the hosts for these, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.ph

The best way to ensure these redemption codes work smoothly is to log in to your DTRPG account first, and then click (or copy) the link shown in your BackerKit.

Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with links for these rewards over the next few days if any of them are on your expected list of rewards. I'll be releasing them in waves, so don't panic if you only see a couple links at first... the rest are coming. (We're in a digital world, but there are still a lot of manual processes. And there are many links to go out!!)

The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://curious-cats-of-mau.backerkit.com/

In addition to redemption links for these digital rewards, all backers will be receiving a link to the compiled draft manuscript. This link can be found in your BackerKit digital rewards page, and you'll receive an e-mail linking to that with the first wave of rewards going out. Again, this isn't a new manuscript, it's just all of the pieces we shared during the campaign put together in order. Your link to the draft manuscript will be available in your BackerKit digital rewards page until our final reward goes out, so you'll be able to access it even after the book is in your hands.

And with the surveys out last week and the wave of existing titles coming to backers over the next 4 days, it's time to monitor the monthly progress on our Crowdfunding rewards from this campaign. There's still a long road ahead and a lot of work to be done on these projects, but we're going to have these regular updates at the end of each month to keep track of where we sit on our rewards.

I'll be back on the final Thursday of May to review where we stand on each project with a handy chart and some notes about where to find more on Onyx Path's project progress.

Until then, If there are any issues you find with the Pledge Manager, please contact me as soon as possible to let me know. It rolls out in waves so that I can correct issues on the fly and make it work as best possible as people come on board.

If you have any other questions or concerns, you can post them to the comments for this update, the comment section, or message me via one of these methods:
