It was great seeing so many familiar faces at Gen Con! Thanks to everyone who made the trip. Before we dive into today's update on pledge manager, printer proofs, and Foundry adaptations, let's share just a few photos from the con.

We have many more photos on our blog if you'd like to see more. Overall it was a great con and we're so lucky to have such enthusiastic fans. Whether you realize it or not, if you're a Goodman Games fan, you are part of an amazing community. Visit Gen Con to meet your long-lost Goodman Games cousins!
Pledge Manager Locking Wednesday
As a reminder, the pledge manager is live. We plan to lock orders and charge cards on Wednesday. You will still be able to change mailing address after that, at least for a while. But if you'd like to change your pledge items or add-ons, please do so quickly!
A Few More Printer Proofs
In previous posts we have provided photos of many proof items. The very last things to get finalized are the Pinball Crawl Classics clamshell box and interior modules. Here are a few photos.
The final clamshell box, closed and folded up. The sides are printed with a nice bronze foil. It looks great.
The final clamshell box, standing upright in front of cover proofs for the five modules that will be inside.
Interior of the final clamshell box. This is a proof, and there is a clear problem: the tray (or "bottom") is clearly printed upside down! This will be fixed in the final. (And this is exactly why we do proofs - to make sure these things are identified and fixed before final production.) There will also be one other minor change before final. The white box at bottom center of the lid cover is the sound chip. That will manufactured using a black plastic instead of a white plastic.
At this point, ALL PROOFS ARE APPROVED. The printer is manufacturing and we will provide a timeline once we get a final ship date.
Update on Foundry Add-Ons
In the original campaign, we offered Foundry adaptations to Old-School Adventures #1 and DCC #113. Unfortunately we are encountering challenges converting those adventures to Foundry. It looks like we may have to cancel the Foundry add-ons. Only a handful of backers pledged for either so this affects a small group of people. But we are sorry if you are affected! We are working through some details and will reach out to affected backers if needed.
Final Week for Book of Funnels
If you're a Dungeon Crawl Classics fan (or MCC or XCC), consider checking out the Book of Funnels. This is the last week and crowdfunding backers get a host of bonus items - including eight bonus adventures bound into the book! More details here.
EIGHT bonus adventures? Plus the 12 in the retail edition? Plus even more stretch goals? Wow, whatta deal!!
