In really big news I am investing in myself and publishing my own website with a store! https://netcrawl.io will launch soon and https://horseshark.games will point or mirror the new site. You will be able to order directly from Horse Shark Games.
Baked in to this website is the capability to send email communication to you from me. No more third parties, no one collecting your data and selling it -- just me and Horse Shark reaching out directly to you. You'd know about sales and other cool stuff before anyone else. I promise not to bother you too much.

Something new and exclusive to the CPU supporters. CPU WIP started this month and another one will drop this week. They are pdfs of work in progress. I'm currently sending out a few PDFs pages from Netcrawl:Arcologies. If you want to see the print quality PDFs of Arcologies before anyone else, sign up to be a CPU supporter.

The Netcrawl rulebook is in the print queue! I don't have a committed date when it will be ready for pick-up, but I have been clear about needing it finished by the end of October. Cross those electrons and hope it happens!
Do Cybernauts Dream of Electric Goblins? First up a look at Do Cybernauts Dream of Electric Goblins? by Brian "Neon Lord" Shutter fresh back from the printer: Generative Scheme I am waiting for the map to be completed and then that is off to the printers. Here's some art that is waiting for paper: Arcologies 30 pages are nearing completion in the layout stage. I am still going through Create-A-Virus materials for inclusion. I should be finished by the end of October. Then it's off for a quick edit and then print. I'm pretty happy with it so far. If you want to check it out, join the CPU supporters and get exclusive print-quality PDFs samples from the book.
Fulfillment End of October spilling into November is still our most probable scenario. As soon as the Netcrawl rulebook is in my hands, I could start shipping. Those of you with all the adventures or Netcrawl:Arcologies will be waiting the longest.
A note on sales before fulfillment: I know seeing books available online or at stores often rankles backers. If this happens to you, I am apologizing beforehand. The reality is fulfillment, sales, and distribution all need to happen and I cannot guarantee backers exclusive first delivery of all the books. You should take pride in materially helping bringing Netcrawl into the world. Without you, it wouldn't have been possible. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Events
