To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect with this new project. I really loved the concept--it truly did seem to hit a need for TTRPG game masters that isn't addressed by many other resources. But it is different from anything else we've done.
We were almost done writing the cards before launch--I think just the two bonus cards were not started. But the writing is now 100% done and I read through all the cards one more time yesterday and sent them over to our editor to edit. We are waiting on a handful of art pieces, but I'm confident we'll have those in the next week or two.
So we plan to send the surveys as soon as possible. If Backerkit is like Kickstarter, they will take 2 weeks to collect payment (allowing time for people to update expired credit cards or anything like that) and then we can send out the surveys. Because two weeks from now puts us right before Memorial Day we may not get the surveys out until just after Memorial Day. PDFs will go out at roughly the same time--maybe a day or two later.
Then we'll have about a week for anyone to point out any problems or additional typos before we send them to the printer. Finally it should be 4 weeks or so for them to print the decks and me to send them to you! (Late June/early July--depending on the printer's backlog.)
Shout-Outs! I feel very lucky to have some great friends & colleagues as fellow game creators. Below are two of their projects that are worth checking out.
First up, already launched & funded is the Oracle Monster Generator from Nord Games: Use it & the many options on each of 420 cards to generate new monsters for your game setting!
Second, Jason at Earl of Fife Games has an upcoming Kickstarter called "Dungeons Deep and Caverns Old": Delve into an ancient dwarven kingdom, navigating political intrigue and uncovering long-lost secrets in the Halls of Splendor. It is a campaign setting with 4 subclasses, 10 backgrounds, 9 new adversaries, 10 new feats, and confront corruption with a brand-new 5E sub-system.
