Thank you for your patience as we worked through the long layout process. We're happy to announce that layout has wrapped and we just heard from the printer that the final document has been approved and print proofs have been ordered.
If they come back to us looking good, we'll shortly wrap this campaign by filling all the rewards in short order! Cards will be charged for any outstanding balances in the coming days.

We're excited to announce that Playing God is in its final stages. The editing phase has entirely wrapped, and everything has been handed over to the graphic designer for layout!
We have the edits back from Poorna and going through them one by one. One of the most valuable parts of the editing process is getting fresh eyes on the game, and Poorna is helping move sections around and defining terms that will help brand-new players quickly get a handle on the game.
There will be a little back-and-forth after the first round of edits are addressed, and then it's off to the graphic designer for layout!
Quick update! Though some playtesting is ongoing, the beta playtesting phase for Playing God has wrapped up. Playtesting was a valuable experience and fine-tuned virtually every part of the game. Most of them were small changes, but far and away the biggest one was how Worshipers was abstracted to the Devotion system. That made for faster gameplay with less number juggling. As a result, the most recent playtest went much smoother and the players could focus more on the roleplaying and story aspects.
All art pieces are complete, all game sheets are finished, and as of a few days ago, the entire game was sent to the editor. Unfortunately, the region where the editor lives has recently been hit by a natural disaster, so she's taking the time she needs to get back to normal life before starting in earnest. Once editing is wrapped up, it's off to layout, then to the printer!
Thanks for supporting this game! We can't wait to get it to you!
