I’m running a little behind schedule, but the good news is that I’m aiming to send out the PDF beta to all backers in March. I’m currently about 60% of the way through the layouts, and I’m really happy with how it’s shaping up (I’ve attached a few layout previews so you can see where things are at).
Once the beta is out, we’ll need a couple of weeks to:
Gather your feedback
Do our own proofreading and final tweaks
After that, the files will go to the printers.
Because of this, we’re now looking at a May/June fulfilment window for physical rewards.
Thank you so much for your patience.
I will be posting more regular updates with tidbits about the game and layout previews in the coming weeks. Like its predecessor, Punk is Dead, I genuinely think this is going to be something special, and it will be worth the wait.
So the surveys are now out, but not without a small issue.
Digital backers who were on the Early Bird will find that a pin badge has been added to their rewards and they are being asked for shipping fees.
Please ignore this for now and we will get it fixed today or ASAP and drop another update to let you know you can complete your survey without being asked to pay shipping.
Seriously, thank you so much for being a part of making Folk Hero a thing!
I'm going to have a couple of weeks concentrating on other things such as preparing for Pax West (do come see us if you are in Seattle) and then I'll begin layouts for the game.
I'll keep you updated at every step of the way.
If you did miss the campaign, we have a late pledge option on BackerKit for the next couple of weeks.
I'm just doing a final shout out to say thank you to those who have backed and spur on anyone who has been on the fence about my solo songwriting game.
Come join the struggle while you may, the revolution is only a TTRPG away! (apologies to Billy Bragg).
First up, let me tease you with some layouts I am working on for the sections:
Folk Hero explores the dynamic of the individual and community.
And this...
Yes, you will be able to (try) kick that things ass!
And not forgetting this..
We're proud to have permission from the Woody Guthrie estate to include his lyrics in the book.
Plus you'll get a whole load more lore about the UuK...
You-You-Kay
Not only that, you will also get this game for free:
A dark, but hopeful game about friendship and alternate realities.
You can also stock up on my other games without having to pay any extra postage. That's right, all postage rates are capped, no matter how may games you order!
Shelf fodder...
As always, I want to thank you for your support, no matter whether it entailed giving me capitalist tokens or just shouting loud about or game on social media. Community is what keeps me doing this.
I'll be back with another update exclusively for backers later this evening.
