Hello everyone,

It’s so great to see you all again! It’s been a bit since you received an update, and we’re happy we have a few things to chat about - the most important being that we’re now ready to open the pledge manager and send out invites! We also have a few updates on the current status of Toon Second Edition and on convention attendance. 

It’s time to open the doors! Yesterday we sent out a small test batch of invites to 5% of backers. We want to thank those backers for working through the process and providing enough info to verify that everything is ready to go!

Just can't wait to receive your email invite? Click here!

Here is the current projected timeline for the remaining key dates:

Pledge Manager Opens: 6/18/26

Pledge Manager Orders Locked: 8/10/26-8/15/26

Pledge Manager Orders Charged: 8/10/26-8/15/26

Late Pledging and Pledge Upgrades End: 8/10/26

$1 Backers can still upgrade to another pledge through 8/10/26. If you’d like a quick refresher on how to upgrade your pledge, click here to read the BackerKit help page.

We’ll close up late pledging the same day we lock pledges, on August 10th. Get your late pledge in for Toon Second Edition!

Steve and Irene had a blast at GAMA this year, playtesting Second Edition rules, and they are gearing up for round 2 at Gen Con! Altogether, they will be hosting three playtest sessions that are sure to be full of absolute hijinks and jam-packed with nonsense. We’re looking forward to seeing many of you at this year's con, and we can’t wait to talk to you there. 

As for the main show, the team responsible for getting Toon Second Edition to print is currently hard at work doing just that. Well . . . maybe not this week, since a few vacations aligned at the same time, but we are charging forward through the process toward internal review. I’ll check to see if we can smuggle out some “in-progress” layout shots for you in the next update.

We’ll be back soon with more. If you have a question, please leave a comment below or visit our help page for additional assistance.

Thank you!
