Hello! When will those of us who backed for MotW + Tome of Mysteries see those PDFs in Backerkit? I sent in my survey weeks ago and I've got the Codex of Worlds prototype PDF showing up in there, but nothing for the other books.

Hi all, I responded to my BackerKit survey and just checked my digital rewards, but I don't see the MotW PDF in the digital rewards section. Any word on when that will be added? I'd like to run a MotW session before the hardcover comes out.

I have found two references for the The Summoned playbook, but I don't know what the source of that playbook is. I don't se it in either this book, the core book, or Tome of Mysteries. Where is that playbook from?

Hello, there are several aspects about this setting that I think I do not understand well. I'm assuming the map doesn't physically correspond to the layout of the house (I'm guessing it's a map similar to the Blades in the Dark one). When it says "the secret rooms are listed o...

As a backer, I can see the pdf of the new sourcebook available, but as someone new to the system, I don’t yet have the main book to read first. Is there any way for us backers to get access to the off of the main book as well, so we can get started?

I see options to get all the books, and an add on for MotW print copy + PDF. But is there, or will there be, a PDF only MotW option? Or is it a silly idea and I should just get it at the Evil Hat site separately?

You might have already caught this but thought I'd point it out. Page 226, it seems like "perfect map or Hermessia" should read "perfect map of Hermessia." That's the only one I've spotted so far!

Sorry if this was already asked--the $150 level....are ALL the books hardcover? I think I assumed so, but just realized I don't know for certain.

Can you please show some love to comments? This is why I hate backerkit campaigns I dont get any updates when someone comments to my posts and looking through most of the posts people are asking questions then answering it themselves with no response from the creator.
