Project Update: A Little Bit of a Hold Up...
Well, after struggling to get the black inks of the character sheets to be identical and (the bigger issue) print correctly on a home printer, I have finally got the PDF toward its final state (just another editing pass and some tests on various printers to make sure the quality is there). All art is in, and all characters have been created! The pledge manager and pre-order store should open within a few days.
To recap, with some bonus support from others and due to the success of the campaign, we are going ahead and doing that bonus character, "The Robot" in all 11 levels. Because early backers were supposed to get a version of The Robot character for free, I don't want them to feel unappreciated, so I commissioned another mutant character (given that they most represent the theme of the game), and they will get that character at levels 0-3. If you didn't make it into the campaign within the first 48 hours but want that character, I do have it as a couple-buck add-on in the pledge manager.
There will be a bit of a hold up for folks wanting a printed version of this product. The only form I could manage that made economic sense was to have it printed as a softbound book from DrivethruRPG.com. The way this will work is that, for $2 you can add-on a print version of the book. However, what you really get is a coupon code to buy it at production cost from DriveThru (right now it is at about $6) and have them ship it to you at your expense). This is not ideal, but numbers did not allow for much else. To sweeten this deal, I will also send the backers who buy a physical copy a file with images of each character class that they can then use them privately for VTT tokens or what have you (just not commercial, public, or for-profit endeavors). I hope that makes the up-charge worth it. The other drawback to this approach is, that these books will require a few weeks of back-and-forth with me and Drivethru until I get a printer's proof and can OK it. I would guess they will not make it to your homes until December. In the meantime, you should have all PDFs within a week or two.
Thanks for your support!
