REWARD DISTRIBUTION
Your links to claim your Scion: God Mobile Wallpaper will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager over the few hours.

The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account at https://scion-god.backerkit.com
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://scion-god.backerkit.com
While the world is pretty chaotic and unpredictable, the good news is that the books exist, have landed in the USA and are on their way to the warehouse of our fulfillment partners, Studio 2.
Since there are a lot of moving parts, we've given to give ourselves a solid schedule that will allow me to get things sorted and keep us moving at a reasonable pace.
As a reminder, any outstanding add-on or shipping costs must be paid before your order will be shipped. For many of you just receving the PDF, you're all good (unless you added on items in the Pledge Manager), but if you're expecting a hardcover copy, please ensure your Pledge Manager is complete and any payments are ready to be processed tomorrow.
At this moment, there are about 45 backers who have a pending charge but haven't entered payment information, so those orders will be held up until the info is in the system. For the rest, any outstanding payments are scheduled to process tomorrow and everything looks on track.
ORDER LOCKDOWN SCHEDULE
JULY 15 - PAYMENT PROCESSING - Now that orders and shipping costs have been reviewed and confirmed, the BackerKit Pledge Manager will begin PROCESSING PAYMENTS for any ADD ON OPTIONS SELECTED IN THE PLEDGE MANAGER and all SHIPPING CHARGES for your order.
JULY 29 - ADDRESS CONFIRMATION - Two weeks after we process payments for shipping charges, the BackerKit Pledge Manager will send out a 48 HOUR NOTICE to CONFIRM YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS. You'll be able to review the information in the system and have a link to adjust the address if needed.
AUGUST 5 - FULFILLMENT INFO - A bit more than one week after address confirmations, I will pass all of this information over to Onyx Path's fulfillment partner, Studio 2, will -hopefully- be able to begin fulfillment prep for your orders to ship out in August/September.

Final Days of the Campaign
Pugmire Unleashed: A Player’s Guide is a supplement for the Realms of Pugmire tabletop RPG. Pugmire Unleashed is primarily a book for players who are interested in new options for their games. Inside you’ll find not only more options for dog player characters, more advice on how to play dogs, and more information about dog communities beyond the kingdom of Pugmire. You’ll also find more species to play: badgers, birds, lagomorphs, and reptiles.
If you have a yen to be a nautical adventurer, there are rules for sailing and ships presented within, as well as a more detailed writeup of the main coastal city, Waterdog Port. For dogs looking to use strange and exotic weaponry, there are rules for gunpowder weapons, as well as the associated syndrome of Gunpower Panic that goes with using them. Combined with loads of new spells and backgrounds, there’s something for every player in these pages.
We haven’t forgotten the hard-working Guide in all this. Within in this book, we present not only some new enemies for player characters to thwart or befriend, but also three adventures that present a loose chronicle using much of the material presented in this book (and Realms of Pugmire). Players should avoid reading the back of the book, in case of spoilers, but most of the book is here for you to enjoy.
