We have some truly exciting news to share with you all!
First off, all the High School Cthulhu accessories have finally arrived! They look fantastic, and we're incredibly thrilled with the quality.
In other great news, the reprint of Vulcania has also landed! This means two major components of your pledges are now physically in our hands.
Regarding Extra Curricular Horrors, the digital version was distributed yesterday, so please check your emails for your copy. The physical edition is officially going to print today, which is a huge step forward!
We know we're running a little behind our original schedule, and for this, we sincerely apologize. Our absolute priority is to ensure everything is produced to the highest possible quality, and sometimes that means unforeseen delays. We truly appreciate your understanding and patience.
Starting in the coming days, we will begin shipping out rewards for the "Freshie" pledge level and for all backers whose rewards do not include a physical copy of Extra Curricular Horrors. As soon as the last manual arrives (we're hoping by the end of July!), we will immediately commence shipping for all remaining pledges.
Finally, just a quick reminder that pre-orders will close on July 18th. This is truly your last chance to secure your copies before they become unavailable. https://hsc.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
Thank you once again for your incredible support and continued patience. We're doing our best to get these amazing games into your hands as quickly and perfectly as possible.
We've got some important updates on the progress of your rewards! We're diligently working to get everything perfected and shipped out to you. Here's what's new:
1. The Yearbook is Here!
We've officially sent out the digital version of the Yearbook to everyone! This was the very last piece of digital content to create, and we're so excited for you to see it. If you purchased the Notable Pupil add-on, please take a moment to review the section related to your character and let us know if everything looks good. Your feedback is important to ensure it's perfect!
2. Extra Curricular Horrors - Digital Release
The Italian digital version of Extra Curricular Horrors has now been distributed! For our English-speaking backers, the English version is currently under final review, and we anticipate it will be ready in a couple of weeks. Thanks for your patience as we put the finishing touches on it.
3. Screens and Card Decks are On Their Way!
Great news regarding the physical components! The Ancient Screens, Dice, and Blasphemous Decks are still en route. The ship carrying them has already docked in France, and we're confident we'll receive all the materials very soon. We'll let you know as soon as they arrive at our facility.
4. A Small Adjustment to the Timeline
We want to be transparent with you all. While we were aiming to ship everything by the end of June, we've encountered a few minor, unexpected bumps along the way. This means it's highly probable there will be a delay of a few weeks beyond our initial estimate. We're doing everything in our power to get your rewards to you as quickly as possible, but our top priority is ensuring that everything is done to the highest possible standard when it ships. We want you to have the best possible experience right out of the box!
Thank you so much for your continued support and understanding. We truly appreciate your patience as we finalize every detail.
We'll keep you updated every step of the way!
Best,
The Gear Games Team
P.S. This is your final chance to grab High School Cthulhu and secure the exclusive BackerKit rewards!

We've got some important updates regarding your digital downloads, so please take a moment to read through.
Digital Download Corrections:
We've received reports of some errors in the digital download files, and we're working diligently to correct everything.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Some of you experienced issues with the Narrator's Screen. We've uploaded a new version that should resolve these problems for everyone.
English Core Rulebook Feedback:
Regarding the English Core Rulebook, we're actively collecting all feedback and error reports.
These corrections will be applied to the physical version of the book.
Blasphemous Deck Update:
The Blasphemous Deck is already in production to ensure we meet our scheduled delivery timeline.
Therefore, we won't be able to implement any changes to the printed cards.
However, we are taking steps to provide you with a corrected digital version of the Martin Beregermann card, which currently has text in Italian erroneously.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to resolve these issues. We're committed to delivering the best possible High School Cthulhu experience.
