We are close enough to the achievement total and the end of the project's funding period is nigh so: I'm unlocking the last add-on PDF! 9 unique archetypes/subclasses including the Rampaging Spirit, College of the Miraculous, Circle of Hell, Unrelenting fighter, Sensei, Oath of the Magebreaker, Ghostwalker rogue, Sovereign warlock, and Magic Conduit wizard.

It's not possible to get an export of everyone's email addresses before the project's data gets sent to Backerkit's Pledge Manager services (I tried that earlier today and then started a conversation with Backerkit's staff to find out why). That should take about 24 hours after the funding period ends, so please expect your PDFs of Complete Class Compendium to be sent via DriveThruRPG on Sunday (probably in the morning). 

Backerkit has to approve some back end stuff and I'm told the earliest I can start sending surveys (to get shipping information going for the process of sending physical rewards) is possibly on Monday, though that might be later in the week. I'm eager to keep the pedal to the metal and send everybody all their things (add-ons too!) as soon as I can. 

Expect that survey next week. Thank you again for backing the project, I am blown away by all this, and VERY stoked to hear what you all get up to with these classes! ☺

That went by fast! 

In the time since the last update I have finished preparing all of the unexpectedly popular add-ons (did *not* think I was gonna need so many!), received the print proofs, made some tweaks, submitted new files, and ordered a second set of print proofs.

Usually I keep hold of all the print proofs (well some find their way into the hands of friends as holiday gifts) BUT—would anybody want a signed print proof as a special pledge reward? If that is you, tell me and suggest a number for that pledge level. There would only be a maximum of two of these available (one for the softcover, one for the hardcover), and aside from embarrassing typos I picked out or minor tweaks to how the title logo sits on the book's spine they will be identical to the final version. Except of course that only one of each of these will exist. Message or email me if you want one, we'll make a pledge level for it. ☺

My suspicion is that sometime early this week (by Wednesday I hope) we'll unlock the next add-on. When that happens I am going to want folks' feedback before making the decision about what's next. Everything I've got in queue is big enough that I wouldn't want to start the work without knowing more about the destination (the smallest of these options is 20k words, or half a novel worth of gaming stuff, so not to be taken up lightly).

Because you excellent human beings have charged in with pledges ready to rock we have already surpassed the funding goal!

Expect an update tomorrow with a target, but the first Stretch Goal is worth telling everyone about now: Complete Class Compendium on Foundry Virtual Tabletop!

As ever, the dope people in the A5E-Foundry team stepped up to put all of CCC into Foundry. Although this reward will not be immediately available like your PDFs (including other Stretch Goals waiting in the wings), they are already into the work. There's just a lot of work to do. ☺
