Hello all,
Getting the art in for the new sections of the M&M 10 Year Anniversary Edition is taking longer than we planned, so we've decided to send out a draft PDF of the layout next week so you can at least read the content. Basically, you'll see the complete layout with blank boxes where the final art and maps will go. When the art comes in, we'll just need to drop it into the file and then send it to print. You'll also get an updated PDF at that time, of course. We expect to have the finished PDF ready by the end of May.
Thanks for your patience!

Since our Freeport Kickstarter just ended and things are getting back to normal around here, I thought I'd give you an update on the M&M 10 Year Anniversary Edition.
At this point we're just waiting for art to come in. The text is finished and most of the layout is done. There have been some delays on our end, for which I apologize. They were for good causes for the M&M community though!
First, we had to finish work on DC Adventures: Universe, the fourth and final book of our DC line. That is now in with Warner Brothers and we hope to get it approved soon so we can release the PDF and start the pre-order and printing process.
Second, there is the fabled Emerald City setting for M&M! We originally conceived this as a big hardback like the old Freedom City book, but during development we decided to up the cool factor by making it a slipcase with 3 books and a poster map instead. That has been a long road but it's also approaching completion. We need a little more art and some layout finesse, and then we can release the PDF and start the pre-order and printing process for that too.
My estimate right now is that the 10 Year Anniversary Edition will release in PDF format in about a month and then we'll ship the books two months later. Thanks for your patience!

Hi all,
I thought you'd like to know that the M&M 10 Year Year Anniversary Edition is now text complete. We have in both new adventures, Steve has converted over the characters from previous editions, and the essays are all in. Jon also spent time implementing feedback and errata into the Quickstart Character Generator, so it'll be even better than the original.
Next step is new art and maps. Hal and our new art director Pauline are handling that. Bearing in mind time for art and finalizing layout, we estimate a PDF release in the first half of April and then books shipping two months later.
Thanks again for your support!
