I'm also hearing that some have received their physical copy but not the digital. I've reissued the digital distribution, in the hopes of getting this cleared up. If you have completed your survey and have not received the digital copy, please reply here.
Several people have asked about the lost level room and a physical copy. The lost level room is digital distribution only.
Thanks for supporting Forest of Terror and thanks for your patience while I check on these issues.
The fulfillment survey will come along at the end of Backerkit's obligatory 2 week wait period after the campaign end, which will put us at May 19. Filling out the survey in a timely manner will enable a more speedy fulfillment of your pledge.
Just as a reminder about the physical copies:
- Those of you who pledged at the level of "$20 - Forest of Terror Print + PDF" are the only ones who will be prompted for your physical address for fulfillment.
- If you pledged "$16 - Forest of Terror Print + PDF (DTRPG checkout)", you will receive a link to buy the book at print cost on DTRPG. Your shipping will be managed by DTRPG at that point.
- It is still possible to switch your pledge to "$16 - Forest of Terror Print + PDF (DTRPG checkout)" if you would like. Because this allows you to combine shipping with other things in your cart, and your shipping will be calculated based on your location, this pledge option will almost certainly save you on shipping cost as compared to the $20 pledge level.
Thanks again for backing Forest of Terror. I hope to run into many of you at Origins and Gen Con this year!
Game on,

I need to make a clarification with respect to my previous update. I use DriveThru for fulfillment for both print and digital distribution, regardless of the pledge level. The difference simply comes down to whether the DT checkout is being done by me or you.
So either way, it's going through DT. If you do the checkout, there is a benefit to you as compared to me doing the checkout, because the shipping cost will almost always be lower if you're doing the checkout. (The reason for this is that, in order to make sure my shipping costs are always covered, I have to set the shipping cost for each country equal to the highest it could be for that country. The cost based on your specific location will almost always be less than that.)
Hope that clears things up.
Game on!

Forest of Terror is out the gate and running! We hit funded within a few hours. I can't wait to see where we go from here.
I wanted to get out this important information about the campaign. I have added a new pledge level that some folks may prefer to switch to. The level is called:
"Forest of Terror Print + PDF (DTRPG checkout)" and it's $16.
- You will pay the print cost directly to DriveThruRPG. At this time, that's $3.66, though it's subject to change.
- You will pay the shipping cost directly to DriveThruRPG.
- You can combine the order with other products you might be getting from DTRPG in order to save on shipping.
- In most cases, your shipping cost will be lower, because I have to cover worst case costs if I charge through the campaign.
- You can get the physical product sent to any country that DriveThruRPG ships to.
So if any of those appeal to you, you might want to switch to this level.
Thanks for supporting this project,
Ed

Hey there. My physical copy of "Forest of Terror" showed up today, and I recently got emails with the Lost Level and my add-on PDFs. However, I never got a Drive Thru RPG PDF copy of the Forest of Terror, or a physical copy of the Lost Level (not sure if physical copies of the Lost Level are coming out). I can also confirm that most of the images in the physical copy of "Forest of Terror" appear slightly blurry, but it's not a major issue for me. It's not bad enough that I would have noticed had others not brought it up and caused me to look more closely, and a few seem completely fine, so I suspect that some of your images may just be a bit lower-resolution than they should be for their size on the page. The last page, however, 43 (opposite the Lycanthrope Critical Hit Table) is entirely blank. Is this intentional?

Just taken delivery of my POD Forest of Terror today, after the PDF was collected earlier. No sign of the Lost Level PDF though. Is that still on the way, and will it be delivered through DTRPG as well? One point regarding the physical POD book, after a check through it today. A lot of the interior greyscale artwork is rather "soft" and pixellated. This isn't an issue with the print quality, as a few images are fine, and the text is very crisp throughout. It looks as if much of the artwork for the physical print copy has been added at too low a resolution, which is something that needs correcting for the future. The odd thing is the same artwork is perfectly fine in the PDF version.
