And... done.

I've sent out the complete PDF, the form-fillable character sheet, and a map for the Hob's Cross micro-setting.

If you don't receive an email from Backerkit with your download links:

Sorry it wasn't Friday: if you're following us on social media you may have seen that I have been sick as a dog this weekend (indeed, the only good fortune I have experienced is that our four dogs are hale and hearty as ever, and taking remarkably good care of me).

You've all been uncommonly good-natured about the wait involved for this project, and I consider us extremely fortunate to have backers like you. Sure, this isn't exactly a million dollar crowdfunder that you staked big money and your gaming group's next campaign on (I mean... tell us if you did, I would love to know folks are playing Meatbags), but it's still frustrating when things take longer than it says on the crowdfunder page, especially when a lot of you were taking a punt on a company you'd never heard of before.

Files will now go off to the printer tomorrow (there will be time to fix anything egregious you spot, and I have never sent a file over to a printer without one more check... just one more...). Timeline to follow.

I will also set up the DrivethruRPG listing and print-on-demand process so that European backers can order their POD copies.

Because I am sometimes not smart, I have realised the plan of locking orders and charging cards immediately was bad, actually: it makes much more sense to only do that once I've input shipping costs. And I need Backerkit to review that setup, because if I get it wrong it is financially bad either for me or you, and I do not want that. On it. I'm on it. And look, I consider it much more important that I get printing started than that I take a few more pounds from you right this moment. 

The last step is to finish our half of the adventure we're co-releasing with Eerie Games. At this point I think it's safest to just... tell you when it's done. At least that one's PDF only, so when the PDF release is done, it is complete and finished.

Thanks again - it's been a lot of fun making this for you.

PS - backers have noted on other projects I've run comms for that my updates sometimes come off as unwarrantedly flippant. The more is riding on an update, the greater my tendency to crack jokes and generally not sound like I'm taking it seriously. It is a bad habit, and one I'm trying to break, but it's a process.
