Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on June 10, 2012.
Sorry, missed one outstanding Reward Tier because we can't yet contact the Backers. Any of you who pledged the $250 Artist Model Reward Tier to appear in Anarchs Unbound- don't worry, we haven't contacted any of you folks yet because the book is still being worked on by Justin. We will soon, though, to get you to sign the Model Release form and start sending us your photos. Thanks to a concerned backer for catching that one!
You might ask, and some do.
- All copies of the Deluxe CotR are shipped, and we're dealing with a few returns because of bad addresses and the like. This is mostly a series of emails from a backer, through me, to the shipper- and we're getting folks their books. A lot fewer, proportionately, issues with delivery on this KS than Deluxe V20 Companion, I'm happy to report.
- All the Rewards have been fulfilled except for the Character Sheets- although those portraits were delivered earlier- due to some miscommunication not at all related to the backer, and the Making of the Art of CotR PDF, because it took me a long time to amass all the sketches and emails from three different accounts and two different computers which weren't playing nice with each other. The Sheets are being finished this week, and the PDF is being laid out right now by me.
- The V20 Red List was red-lined by Justin (he put in notes to the writer on every page-originally done in red ink) and is being further written by Matt McElroy to encompass Justin's comments. I don't have an ETA on this, but it is progressing.
That should hopefully cover anything outstanding from this KS, please let me know if there's anything I missed or any specific questions you might have.
Also, because I'm not sure it was clear enough in my earlier post about the Deluxe Hunters Hunted II Kickstarter that's now running: this KS includes the V20 Storytellers Screen as part of the Reward Tiers. This was the first V20 KS that we've had since we were able to work out a viable way to proceed with the Screens, and so it's offered here because so many V20 fans were excited about it. Here's the concept piece for the art side:
Hope everyone will check out our latest Kickstarter for a Deluxe V20 book: Deluxe Hunters Hunted II, where we describe the mortals who not only grow aware of the secret manipulators who prey on them, but decide to strike back.
And because so many of our V20 fans have asked, this Kickstarter also contains the V20 Storytellers Screen:

Just a brief note to let you folks know that our current Kickstarter campaign is live for Mummy: The Curse. Mummy occupies a special place in our releases because not only is it the first new nWoD game line in over two years, but it was developed by the same developer who created the acclaimed Mummy: The Resurrection for cWoD: C.A. Suleiman. Along with his guidance, the writing team consists of veteran WW pensmiths such as Ari Marmell and Greg Stolze. Here's a bit of of introductory text:
"Imagine being both dead and deathless at the same time. Imagine being cradled in the arms of death for years, sometimes decades on end, but all the while knowing that you will eventually not only arise again, but awaken to an unfamiliar world that mostly fears and hates you. Now imagine that your purpose, your entire existence, is bound within this cycle -- that you are chained to it for all eternity. You sleep, you wake, your serve your Judge's will in the lands of the living, and you return to the death-sleep once more. The ancient culture that empowered you is gone, lost to the sands of time... yet you endure.
In Mummy: The Curse, a Storytelling game set in the World of Darkness, you play one of these beings. Those who know they exist, from the the cultists who serve them to the dark forces arrayed against them, call them the Deathless.
We call them mummies."

Starting late Wednesday, copies of Deluxe Children of the Revolution began shipping, with all or at least most of the books finishing up heading out the door today. Still getting a couple of signatures on the Bookplate copies, and I have the Original Art and Book here in my studio- I'll be personally sending that one out and waving goodbye to my VtM piece as it goes. <sob>
I'm told there is a new system for tracking the packages and I've heard from a few backers that they have tracking numbers. I'm expecting this system to work better than the previous one, but we'll have to see if that works out to be true once numbers and packages are flying about. Under no circumstances or by any definition of the words am I promising anything here- I'm just relating what I was told by the shipper. They are in Atlanta, I'm in Pennsylvania and have no Skype window into their warehouse.
Personalized Character Sheets, The Making of the Art PDF, and the V20 Red List PDF are all still in progress and I'll Update you when things are at a stage where we can give a solid Update.
Hope your books get to you just before the holidays so you can have a great read while sipping eggnog, or whatever your potable of holiday cheer is. The copies I have look great and read even better. As always, thank you all so much for your support of this project as we couldn't have done it without each and every one of you, and I hope you all love your books.
