Seriously thank you very much for backing Netcrawl RPG. I am honored to have you on the team.

I had a bunch of fun with Joey Royale as we slapped together a little crowdfunding show on Goodman Games Official Twitch. Thanks to Goodman Games for the use of the channel. And thanks to Alana Thompson for engineering the show.

We didn't end up playing through the conclusion of the adventure, but I promise to turn it into a little digital solo zine or something along those lines so you can finish it on your own.

So close to breaking the stretch goal for the GM screen, but I am in no way disappointed. We put it all out there! It has been an amazing campaign and exceeded my expectations. I'll certainly be providing some PDFs of player handouts, reference booklet of important tables, and the screen for you to print at home.

There's been several new people on the Discord and Patreon. Come on over and join us. A new mechanic of Access Control dropped on the Patreon a few days ago. I'm be talking about why and how to use it later this month in the Developer Diary. I'll be posting the Update Patch from the Patreon here every month (usually published on the 20th). 

I'm going to get some rest. Thank you all again.

Quick, before the Sick 16 round is over, please cast your votes for your favorite DCC RPG 3rd Party Publisher adventures and Supplements. Vote here! Two things I've written are still in the running: The House of the Red Doors and The Lesser Key to the Celestial Legion. Please help me get to the round of the Crazy 8s! Voting ends on March 21st at midnight!

Brendan LaSalle has turned in his 2nd level adventure and it is about to head to editing. I was able to play the adventure with Brendan on the Netcrawl discord server. Then I ran it during Precognition online convention about a week or 2 later. I was even joined by some of the backers! Pretty cool.

Julian Bernick's 4th level adventure is finished with layout and the art is starting to roll in:

341 / 387 have completed their survey. Have you? 

May 1st we will announce the lock of surveys.

May 8th the surveys will be locked.

When we lock those surveys we are also locking up the Pre-order Store. If you are sitting on the fence, now would be a good time to get in there and support Netcrawl. Books are absolutely going to be higher priced on the covers and in stores.

We are at 80% complete for filling out those surveys. Come May 1st things will start to swing into action. Locking orders and charging cards for shipping and add-ons ordered during the Pledge Manager will happen on May 8th.

Our final 75~ supporters need to come into the Pledge Manager and finish their orders up. Thank you in advance!

Did you miss the campaign? The Pre-Order store is open for you to join the WorldNet.

Today Spellburn launched voting for its 1st ever March Madness featuring 3rd Party Publishers who are aligned to DCC RPG. That includes me as a 3rd Party Publisher. I did not nominate very many of my books, but others did. I also wrote all or part of several books that were published by my friends. So help a publisher/author out and go vote. Plus this is going to be a lot of fun to talk about during the March 31st Live-Stream of the Spellburn Pod cast. For even more info check out Spellburn.net

Do the Right Things:

That's right! As mentioned yesterday, it's time to get the pixels into place. 

Some of you will be getting notifications to finalize your pledges. Please help us out by responding right away. Be sure to reach out if there are any issues or if something is confusing. 

This is my first time using Pledge Manager so bear with me as I learn something new.

Cheers,
James

Update Patches are published in my Patreon and available publicly.

The past month has not been a super month, but things are progressing!

The pads of character sheets arrived from the printer and they look great. I mean look those! I rolled up a bunch of 2nd levels using both pen and pencil. They are fantastic and ready to go.

Covers
Great things have happened. First Stefan Poag's cover for Brendan LaSalle's A Study in Ashdawn:

A sketch arrived from Peter Mullen this week! Do you want to see it? Of course you do! Here's Peter's sketch for Julian Bernick's Battle at the End of Time:

Speaking of the 4th level adventure. Maps are in process. The adventure layout is finished. Art spots have been identified and the usual gang is making art magic.

A Study in Ashdawn
Brendan LaSalle's adventure is in progress. If you're interested in joining us in the Netcrawl Discord server at noon Eastern time on Saturday Feb 22nd, you can play test it with the author and designer.

In Space No One Can Hear the Robopocalypse
Davin Kluttz has taken on the task of the final map for the adventure. (Remember to download it. It was this month's content available to all free and supporting members of the patreon.)

Netcrawl: Arcologies
I've been chipping away on the tables for awhile now. Julian Bernick had some great ideas for random hex crawl for his adventure, but I thought they would make great additions to the WorldNet Rumors, News and Events tables. Basically there will be a table of ideas to help jump start your adventures. One for every zone of the WorldNet map. Donn Stroud is working on drug tables called abends and zaps.

Netcrawl core rulebook
It's basically finished. I'm currently sharing it with close confidants for feedback. I will share the plain doc format of the rulebook to everyone soon.

Time to Collect Surveys
Yeah I think it is. I have covers (finished or sketches) for everything. We need to get moving on the Create a Virus add-ons and I need information back from everyone. Watch those in boxes. The Pledge manager is currently under review with Backerkit.
