Updates

A quick update to let you know that we are making progress toward finishing up Children of the Mountain God/Path to Tifala. Unfortunately, as happens sometimes, the going is slower than we had hoped. I posted a more elaborate discussion to my Substack blog last night.

The TLDR version is this: I finished writing both versions and passed them off to layout last week, along with my characteristically crude map sketches. I don't have a firm estimate yet on we'll finish layout and place our order with the printer, but I'll let you know as soon as we have one.

Thanks again for your support and your patience!

For those of you who have had trouble filling out the pledge manager questionnaire: We should have the problem fixed. With an emphasis on ‘should.’ It seems that the problem is that I assigned a price to a couple of the survey questions where there should have been no item price entered, and so those of you affected were expected to pay extra for your reward. I removed the prices from the survey questions, so I hope we’re all squared away now.

If you have been having problems filling out your pledge manager survey question, please try it again and let me know if you’re still having problems.

I can’t recall in my 10 years on crowdfunding platforms making a screw-up quite this big, but here we are: It seems that I built the pledge manager questionnaire incorrectly and some of you (depending on your reward tier) are being expected to pay extra when you have to choose between the 5E and Pathfinder versions of the module.

The best excuse I can make is that Backerkit’s process has become too complicated for me to grasp properly, and the logic chain of how Input X leads to Output Y has become obscure. I obviously filled out the form without understanding how it would work and trusted that it would all work out somehow. This is of a piece with how I have always approached life in general.

Anyway, I am consulting with Backerkit support to get this sorted out. I hope we can fix it on the fly, but I suppose it’s also possible that we may have to scrap the pledge manager as it exists now and just start all over again.

I am, at the moment, at Consimworld Expo selling Ramen Sandwich Tees merch and will be here the rest of the week. I’ll stay on top of things as best I can until I return home this weekend.
