In all seriousness, we apologize for the delay in getting you a solid update. The fault is totally ours, we are sorry for not keeping you all more in the loop. So, without further adieu - here are some real updates. From now on, you can expect monthly (or more often) updates until we deliver rewards to you.
Project Status
Kobolds Ate My Baby Orange Book - Mostly written, playtesting is ongoing (with great reception at Origins), final edits expected in late August. Layout in September.
SMORKAS BORG - Fully written, in editing (its hysterical by the way)

Reception to polymorph Rules at Origins Game Fair
At Origins Game Fair we ran over 20 demo tables throughout the weekend showcasing the new polymorph rules and our new THWACKO Adventure creation system. Additionally, we ran the infamous Kobolds Ate My Baby Midnight Massacre for over 80 players with these new rules.
Chris before the Kobolds Midnight Massacre and after
Reception to the system was great. Players were asking questions that we either had covered or made sure to make the note to address in the final text.
To date, the favorite item in the game is "200 XP" and there is a real fight going between calling them OUTFITS, JOB, or JORBS* Writers Bug and The Kobold Dude made progress on making fan favorite actions (like Barking) still relevant under the new streamlined rules. Death Checks were had by all.
At GENCON we'll be running another 4 demo sessions where we'll implement everything learned from Origins. If you want to try out the rules before we go to BETA - this is the time, and Indianapolis is the place! *BTW, It's not going to be JORBS no matter how often our team chants it.

Kobold Plush Samples
These are definitely kobolds, but we don't think the design is QUITE there yet. We asked the factory to make a few tweaks to both samples (long fur and short fur) and then send us them physically for review. Once we have them we'll show them off and hopefully that will be the final round of plush edits!!!
