Project Update: Day One: THE MAGIC IS REAL!
10 hours in: more than $93,000 raised from over 1700 backers!
We are truly overwhelmed by the amazing response you've poured into this very innovative and deeply queer game. Thank you so much for your support. Together you have unlocked six different stretch goals with contributions from 16 amazing creators. The light is shining bright and wide!
Let's take care of some common questions that have popped up in this first stage of the campaign.
That's a lot of stretch goals, and I see you have more planned. Is this going to delay the delivery of the game at all?
Not one bit. The zine stretch goals will be a digital reward which you can print and assemble at home - like all good zines should! They will be delivered separately from the books, PDF, and Roll20 rewards. This helps us keep our timeline tight. It also means you will be getting zine PDFs after you've already gotten the main rewards.
We're targeting January 2024 for the delivery of the main rewards and we have a track record of hitting our dates on-time, if not earlier.

What's this Jumpstart thing? How do I get it?
We've created four different Series Jumpstarts to help you quickly dive into each of the unique genres contained within Girl By Moonlight.
Each Jumpstart is based on one of the Series Playsets and provides a cast of playable characters, some tailored choices around the series, and a starting situation. They're ideal for one-shots and convention games, or as a quick way to get your campaign going. If you don't want to go through the entire Series Creation phase of the game, you can use these Jumpstarts as a shortcut.
The PDFs for the Series Jumpstarts are included at every pledge level. If you want a more portable, physical version you can scribble notes in, you'll have to upgrade to the Jumpstart Bundle, Magical Girl Bundle, or Transcendent Girl Bundle tier in order to get the separate, full-color printed folios.

What's the difference between the Hardcover Book and the Limited Edition Book?
The Limited Edition will feature an alternate cover by Zakiya Goggins, embellished with spot gloss varnish. The Limited Edition will also include a special design for the endpapers, plus two ribbon bookmarks. While we may release some overstock books from the print run after delivery of the rewards is complete, the Limited Edition will not be reprinted after this campaign. In terms of content, both versions will contain the exact same interior text and full-color artwork.
If this is the type of keepsake version you like to have on hand, we're proud to offer it. We think it's going to look gorgeous. But if you're worried about missing some extra bonus content because you can't afford the Limited Edition, never fear: the game is exactly the same.

Why don't you ship to X/Y/Z country?
Between Brexit and the pandemic, the cost of individual shipping varies wildly by region. That means we're simply not able to offer a shipping option during this campaign that will service everyone. Trust us, we're just as frustrated by this as you are, but the alternative is charging some customers $40 or more in shipping (that's not including VAT or import fees) just to deliver a $30 book.
We simply don't think that's fair or reasonable.
If we do not offer shipping to your country, consider backing at the PDF or Roll20 level and picking up the physical book once it reaches your FLGS. It's a much, MUCH more affordable option. We work very hard to get our games into international distribution within a couple months of reward fulfillment.

The page says I can get the full rules and the Roll20 Quickstart after I pledge? Where do I find those?
We posted links to the preview PDF and handouts and a code for the Roll20 Quickstart in Update #1. Note that this is embedded in a backer-only portion of the update, at the bottom of the page. Make sure you are logged in to your BackerKit account to view them.
Reminder that unlike the preview PDF we put on DriveThruRPG, the backer preview contains the full text of the game - all the rules, all the setting and character playbook info. It's the complete game with placeholders for the art. You can use it to start playing Girl By Moonlight right now!

I made it all the way to the end of this update. Do I get a prize?
Yes! You're now free to go back to reading through the backer preview and setting up a new game on Roll20. Enjoy!
Thank you for your generous support. It's been an amazing first day.
