Work In Progress Update

Hey everyone! Just wanted to check in since it had been about six weeks since our last update. The three of us have been neck deep finishing up the main swath of writing for the book and getting deep into the editing process. The great news is that we have gone through our "everyone reads everything and leaves comments" part of the exercise, and are digesting all those comments. For perspective, on the 9 main Google docs, between the four of us (us three, and our main editor Trish) we left over 3,000 comments. So it's a lot, but man alive I can tell you that these factions are GREAT!
So where does that put us on our timeline? Well, the magic date that we circled on our calendars as to when we expected to be "delivery complete" was August 20th, and as of right now, we are on target. We have some very "fluffy" milestones regarding printing times etc, and we are in the part of the process with the most amount of work. These are all really good signs about hitting that date!
Thank you to all the backers who added NPCs and have filled out their surveys, getting those written and off to artists was a major milestone too! The Backerkits are still open, and we do still have some NPC slots available if anyone is interested. Reach out if you have any questions!
But more than anything else, thank you again. This project is our most ambitious one to date, and one that we really want to get right. We'll talk to you all again soon!

Hello Backers!
It's been a while since we reached out to give you an update on progress, so I wanted to touch base. Right now, we are busy going through the nearly 200 pages of content. Each of these factions came in around 17 to 20 pages, before art and layout, so there is going to be a ton of content in this book! This stage is going to take until the beginning of March or so, as we tear through these first documents and implement changes based on internal feedback. After that, the final editing and layout stages start. We are still on track to have all content delivered by the end of July, which is exciting!
87% of you have filled out your surveys as of this morning, which is also awesome. While they aren't going to lock for a while, there is one very important segment that should make sure they have their surveys done. If you wanted to appear in the book as an NPC, we need those details :) We are talking to our artists now about the NPCs that we have already received information for, but you probably only have about two weeks to get that ordered before it's too late. There are four slots available, and you can access them from the Backerkit Store!
Lastly, thanks to everyone who backed our Make 100 Campaign for "A Catalogue of Rellcs of Power". Josh is currently sitting at the scribes desk, cowl on, and nib in hand assuming the persona of High Cleric Arthur Thel-am-Rajai, noted traveler and scholar. It's a fun pet project, and he didn't even have to shave his head! We have another Zine-style campaign launching over on Crowdfundr in about a week, so we will make sure to let you know when that is up and running also!
Thanks as always for the support, we appreciate you, and really look forward to getting this project into your hands!

BackerKit Survey update

Hello friends!
Just a quick update, we are at 80% completion on the survey, which is AWESOME! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to respond, and thank you doubly to folks who are taking advantage of the Add-ons available!
One quick update: If you purchased the "You Become an NPC!" Add-on, there was an error in the survey because of a deprecated BackerKit feature. That has now been corrected, so you should be able to complete your surveys now. As always, if there are any issues, please let us know!

Hello Backers!
Just a quick message to let you know that I am sending out the Backerkit surveys tonight. Don't hesitate to reach out if things don't look right. The Backerkit store will allow you to add physical copies if you didn't buy them during the campaign, access Add-Ons if you were accidentally blocked out from adding them the first time around, etc.
From us and ours, to you and yours, we wish you a very happy holiday season and we will be back in the New Year with more updates!
Josh, Glen, and Lewanika
