Project Update: Wasteland Degenerates JCE Post Campaign #10: Digital Deluge INITIATED!
Hey Degenerates,
Hope your holiday season is truckin' along. To help you cope with the existential horror of reality, I've just submitted all of the digital Wasteland Degenerates material for download. I've also initiated payments on all Pre-Orders, so you'll be in on the fun as well even if you're late to the party.
Enter the Dismal Armory and Blood on the Bleak Road were already available digitally, but I did notice an error in the last version of Bleak Road, so if you already downloaded that, please pull the new version.
Matthew and I did a flurry of corrections for the main zine in the last couple weeks, but it isn't impossible that there are still errors. If you DO see something weird (that isn't SUPPOSED to be weird...), feel free to hit us up at [email protected] to let us know ASAP...
...because I sent the files to the printer, and paid the blood tribute to get the process initiated, and if we get edits there in time we can potentially resolve issues before they become permanently etched upon a page.
Anyway, that's it for now. I'm very excited to get these documents out into the wild. Happy scavenging!

Project Update: Wasteland Degenerates JCE Post Campaign #9: SENT TO PRINTER!
Hey Degenerates,
In a flurry of final editorial review from me, and fast updates from Matthew, I have released the final documents to my printer. Special shout-out to backer Browncoat79 for some good catches on the playtest copy.
I can't say how long it will take to get prototypes back or print a thousand copies of the zine, as well as getting the postage from BackerKit. These are all things that are new to me, so I'm learning as I go.
My best estimate would be that we'd send things out by mid-December, but you know how the holiday season is.

Digital Assets
The documents are all done and I'll sit down and re-figure out how to send them out digitally. Hopefully I'll have time to do this over Thanksgiving weekend, but let's call this one "soonish."
The Road Ahead
The next step is to start doing layout for Reaver's Rhapsody, the introductory adventure. Whether this gets released separately or is simply rolled into the Wasteland Degenerates hardcover edition campaign tentatively slated for the latter half of January 2025 is up in the air. When we get it done I may release it directly onto my Itch page, so keep an eye out.
I'm also continuing to write two more adventures; we'll see how much we can get done by the hardcover campaign!

Also Check Out:
I'm pleased to back P!LLS FVLL of GODS - Rehumanized by Paweł Kicman because it took a lot of guts for Paweł to go back and "fix" something he used generative AI for originally, and I'm excited to get my hands on yet more Cy_Borg content.
Until next time, keep your eyes on the road!

Project Update: Wasteland Degenerates JCE Post Campaign #8: Addresses Locking in 2 days
Hey Degenerates,
I have been sick since returning from Gamehole Con, so I haven't done a lot of extra work on future products, but I still have plenty of plans. And no, I don't have covid, so if I saw you at GHC I'm not the reason you're sick.
I had a great time at the convention, though, and meeting Brian Colin at the Vast Grimm booth was stellar!
I'm just waiting on the final pages to send to the printer, so it's just about time to lock addresses. Let's get everything secured in 2 days so we can get the most up-to-date info on shipping.
Nothing more to it, this time.
Get back out into the wastes, you pvnks...

Project Update: Wasteland Degenerates JCE Post Campaign #7: Orders Locked (Pre-Orders still open, briefly)
Hey Degenerates,
I just locked the orders. You will all have 48 hours to finalize your requests. I'm going to keep pre-orders open for another week just in case someone finds the project late, but then those are getting locked, too. Locking the orders gives me a final count that I can provide to the printer... well I'll probably ask for double or more since I intend to have copies I can sell at conventions or in new crowdfunding or whatnot.
I fielded a question about reduced price on add-ons like the character sheets and the solo adventures this week. Here's I'm sure where it would have helped to be an experienced content provider, because it did not occur to me to include retail pricing on anything except the core zine. That will be something I reflect upon and offer in the next crowdfunding campaign, as well as post-fulfillment supply discussions.
I am on vacation and that means I had a whole day to work on editing and quality control for the Jumper Cable Edition. I went through all of the completed work and gave Matthew my needed updates to the formatting, art, text, and layout. There were a number of rules that I scratched my head over and asked Matthew to correct my foolishness in the final version. There's only a handful of pages not done yet, but I'm sure these will be done in the next couple weeks.
After that, it's final layout and sending on to the printer. Exciting, yet terrifying.
Anyway, Brian Colin invited me to Gamehole Con in Madison, Wisconsin, so I'm going to be there by Wednesday night. I will probably be around; it was a bit last-minute, so I wasn't able to get on the schedule with a game of Wasteland Degenerates, but I'll likely be hanging around the Vast Grimm booth with Brian, so come around and say hello!

The prices for the Zines and character pads look to be the MSRP pricing. Is there any discount for retailer pledges for the addons?
