Hi all- In working on getting the survey ready, I discovered it would actually be better to wait to send it out, mostly due to shipping.
I will be offering a local pick up for anyone who would like to get it from me and to avoid the shipping cost. We will be having a launch party at our local friendly game store, The Adventurer's Guild. I can also bring copies to some of the cons that I visit for distribution there.
However, for those who won't be able to arrange a pickup, there will be a shipping charge. This was noted in the pledge level, although its often missed. So for two main reasons, I want to wait on getting the survey's out. 1. I don't want to add an extra cost this close to the holidays. 2. I'd rather wait closer to actual shipping so that I can better estimate the cost. Likely the cost will be $8 for US and $18 for elsewhere, but who knows what could happen in the next few months to change that.
If you have any questions on that, please feel free to comment here for any clarification.
I also wanted to share some progress. I've received responses from most (but not all!) of the backers who are adding content to the game. Our artist, Clarissa, is working on a few of the portraits now. I'll be happy to share once we have some drafts.
In the meantime, I've been working on the fourth storyline. Without giving too much away, the image below is the starting point for the branching storylines. It's going to have an establishing government angle since that was the most popular option back in the poll. Also there will probably be plenty of ideas to gather this upcoming year being an election year in the US.
One main storyline that branches into 16 different endings.
Thank you again for backing. Looking forward to keeping you updated on the progress. - Manda
