Seriously I hate the bestiary with its fold out pages, and would not have backed it if that was stated in the kickstarter. I really wish there had been a option for a refund for it.

Why am I walking into local game stores and finding copies of rust and redemption, when I haven't even gotten my pledge yet? Makes me rethink backing anything else from MCG anytime in the future. Super delayed delivery of your backers, but retail sales happening? That's some pretty shady and terrible treatment of your backers.

I'm sorry, I know this has been asked. Other people have asked but often they have jumped straight to rudeness, I'm going to try to remain as polite and respectful as possible. But I'm not clear on what's going on. The Starter Set's coming "basic rules, pregenerated characters, and introductory adventures." I'm pretty sure that the basic rules are already out there. And pregens seem like something that wouldn't be too difficult for the game's developers to come up with. So is it the adventures we're waiting on? I'm not trying to be a dick, it just feels like this is something you guys could have sent out by now. I'm just hoping somebody can explain some of the processes that have gone on, and presumably still ongoing, between the time the campaign ended, and the time it it's ready for dispatch. Were there some major unforeseen setbacks?

Project Update: A Peek at It's Only Magic, an Awesome Online Character Builder, and More!
Things are moving quickly for the Cypher System, and for your rewards. Just a couple of weeks after fulfillment of the Cypher System Bestiary, It’s Only Magic is in proofing now, and heads to press soon. We’re going to give you a peek inside, but first, here are a couple of other bits of exciting Cypher System news:
The Cypher System Character Builder Is Now Live
Build, store, advance, maintain, edit, and even share Cypher System characters online with this free tool. There are multiple modes for creating characters—the Guided mode, in particular, is super fast and easy. It takes you through the process step-by-step. You can build a character in literally three or four minutes.
And when you’re done, generate a form-fillable PDF character sheet, export it to a VTT, or simply play your character right from the Character Builder.
The Character Builder includes all the character options from the Cypher System Rulebook plus all of our existing genre books—The Stars Are Fire, Godforsaken, We Are All Mad Here, Stay Alive!, Claim the Sky, and even Rust and Redemption. So you have thousands of character options from a huge range of genres. Build virtually any character you can imagine!
Did we mention it’s free? And available right now?
Last Call for Knights of Dust and Neon!
We’re currently funding two more genre books plus a really cool new Cypher System setting—but the campaign ends this week, so time is running out.
Remember, as a backer of this campaign, if you return to back Knights of Dust and Neon you’ll get a super-exclusive gift added to your rewards: a set of all-new foil-stamped XP cards to add to your Cypher System XP Deck. If you received the foil-stamped deck as a backer of this campaign, you know how stunningly beautiful the cards turned out. There is no other way to get these new cards, and they’re exclusive just for you. Don’t miss the chance to grab them—check out the campaign now!
And Now a Look at It’s Only Magic
We’re really excited about this hefty genre book covering every aspect of modern magic.
The final rewards of this campaign continue to march toward conclusion, too. We’ll give you a look at the Adventures in the Cypher System adventure book in our next update—and maybe even be able to show off a production copy of the Cypher System Starter Set.
It's a really exciting time to be a fan of the Cypher System!
Now that we’ve taken you through all the exciting news, why not take a few minutes to give the new Character Builder a try? And don’t forget to share your thoughts on it, and the Cypher System Bestiary, online before Knights of Dust and Neon comes to a close this week!
Thanks again for your support!

Project Update: XP Deck, Bestiary, and Other Fantastic News!
We have a bunch of great news to share with you today!
We’re Fulfilling Decks and the Bestiary!
The same goes for the foil promo deck. If you signed up to be notified of the campaign, or backed in the first 48 hours, you’re getting this reward for free! Again, redemption instructions are in that email.
Photos don’t do these cards justice—you really have to hold them in your hands to truly appreciate their magnificence. If you missed out on this promo (or if you’re getting these cards, and want even more), we have great news. We’re currently running the Knights of Dust and Neon campaign for new Cypher System books and other cool items. As an Adventures in the Cypher System backer, if you also back Knights of Dust and Neon, we’ll add another mini-deck of five new foil-stamped XP cards to your rewards!
You don’t have to do anything to claim them—just back the Knights of Dust and Neon campaign at any pledge level, and as a returning Adventures in the Cypher System backer, the mini-deck will be yours. This is an exclusive offer just for backers of this campaign—nobody else will be able to claim these new foil-stamped cards.
Character Builder Is Testing Now
Join Us on Knights of Dust and Neon
And as we mentioned above, as an Adventures in the Cypher System backer, your rewards will include another, all-new mini-deck of foil XP cards, automatically, as an exclusive thank-you for returning!

Project Update: Starter Set, Decks, a Cool Character Builder, and More!
If Rust and Redemption was among your rewards, we hope you’re enjoying it! It’s been getting some great press, and Cypher System players everywhere seem to really like it. We hope (and believe) you’ll love It’s Only Magic, the Cypher System Bestiary, and other forthcoming rewards just as much!
Speaking of those rewards, we have quite the load of exciting news to share. Let’s start with an unboxing of the Cypher System Starter Set.
A Look at the Starter Set
That’s a pre-production copy. The Cypher System Starter Set has been in manufacturing for several weeks now. A boxed product like this takes longer to make than a book, and it’s produced overseas, so it takes considerable time to reach us once it’s ready. We don’t expect to fulfill the Starter Set before May—possibly June; GM intrusions are almost the norm with international freight these days. But we thought you’d like to see how nicely it’s shaping up. We couldn’t be happier with how it’s turning out!
The XP Deck—and the Foil Deck
That’s the Cypher System XP Deck on the left. And it’s not a pre-production copy, either—it’s the real deal! The full shipment is scheduled to reach our US warehouse in about a week, and we’ll fulfill shortly thereafter. (But see what we have to say about the Cypher System Bestiary, below, before you rush off to redeem it.)
And look at those cards on the right! Those are the special foil-stamped promo cards for backers who signed up to be notified of the campaign, or backed in the first 48 hours. It’s hard to capture in a photograph just how stunning these are in real life. Look out—once you get these cards, you’re going to want to just sit around the house all day, granting and spending XP!
If they’re among your rewards—or perhaps even more importantly, if they aren’t—read on. We have a really cool offer for you below!
Other Rewards
- The Cypher System Bestiary is on press now, and is almost done with its production run. We anticipate it will reach our warehouses in about two weeks—very shortly after we receive the Cypher System XP Deck. If you’re receiving both rewards, you can save yourself some shipping if you wait until both items are available before redeeming them.
- It’s Only Magic has moved through editing, and is now in layout. We’ll give you a peek at it in our next update. And here’s some more cool news: we’ve added a second campaign setting to this tome, increasing its page count from 224 to 240 pages. That’s more magic at no additional cost! Again, we’ll have additional details in the next update.
Cypher Tools and Other News
At the heart of this toolset is the new Character Builder, which launches next month. Build a Cypher System character in minutes—this powerful tool takes you through the process quickly and efficiently. You can store and update your character throughout your campaign. There’s even a massive library of pregens, if you need to get playing right now!
Other tools include the Creature Index, available now. Looking for just the right creature for your next encounter? There are so many choices—especially since everything in the Cypher System is compatible. The Creature Index makes it easy to find the perfect creature for your needs—just choose your criteria. It already includes content from the forthcoming Cypher System Bestiary!
And in other news, content from Rust and Redemption has already been added to the Cypher System Reference Document, making it available to third-party creators who want to build post-apocalyptic-themed adventures, settings, or even complete Cypher System-based games under the Cypher System Open License. (You heard it here first—we haven’t even announced this CSRD update to the public yet!)
More Cypher System Awesomeness—and a Special Offer Just for You!
If you’re getting the promo foil-stamped XP mini-deck we just showed you, we guarantee that once you see those cards, you’ll want more. And if you missed out on that opportunity? All the more reason to get your hands on some!
(We’re also offering a special reward for gamers who sign up to be notified when the campaign launches. If you sign up, and you’re a returning backer from this campaign, you’ll get both promo items!)
So what are you waiting for? Sign up to be notified when Knights of Dust and Neon launches!
Thanks again for your support!

It seems like all of the items in the campaign are on the MCG's "Coming soon" page except for the Bestiary Deck 2 (based on the CS Bestiary coming out in May, I assume?). I assume that requires more development, maybe more art?

I checked my spam folder, looking for my MCG/backerkit email (searched the folder for Monte, montecookgames, backer, backerkit, etc…), but it doesn't appear I got anything this round. BUT! I logged on to my account at MCG and checked the "coupons" section, and there it was. So I'm fine. I just wanted share that you should go there to check if your copies are waiting.
