Update #17: The Demolished Ones has been funded!
First and Foremost I would like to say thank you to the backers for getting us here.
Second I would like to say thank you to Brian Engard, Hugo Solis, Ben McFarland and Claudia Burgos.
Special Thanks go to Tim Cupp, Fred Hicks, Rob Donoghue, Leonard Balsera, and Gareth-Michael Skarka for their unseen but not unsung assistance.
I also would like to mention Daniel Solis, Gary M. Sarli, Wolfgang Baur and Greg Stolze for their seminar on Kickstarter at Gencon, and their extremely helpful blog posts.
Over the next two weeks, I will be contacting backers individually to set up our exclusive patron forums for The Demolished Ones and getting everyone's access set up. I just ask that everyone be patient. I will state that we have deveolped a production timeline and that right now the finalized manuscript for the core book is due to be turned into me March 12th 2012, my current goal is to have the book released and the backer print run done June 2012 please remember that these are estimated release dates and are subject to change, and we will be posting a more detailed set of production deadlines soon.
Plus we want to take a day and savor our victory and also allow Amazon its 14 days to process everyone's payments :)

Update #16: A request to backers: Last day Spread the word.
Greetings Demolished Ones!
This project is green lit, has also hit its first goal of producing a secondary PDF supplement free to all backers, and we will also be producing a short story free to all backers. If we can raise another $400.00 today that short story will be illustrated.
I would like to ask everyone, even if your not a backer to use your social media networks and any forums you like post in to make people aware of the project. I would be emmensly appreciative if you would do this.
All you would really have to do is share or retweet our Facebook, Google+ or Twitter post. The level of impact this can have is insanely helpful.
As always thank you for your support
Steve Russell

Little error there, the original sketchs are on A4 (letter-sized), not A3 (tabloid-sized).
My apologies for the mistake!

Very big milestone, congratulations Brian...from little I have seen, you have put in a LOT of work on this....thank you!!
I'm rather glad we haven't submitted addresses for this project yet. I approve of your "get the work done first, then ask for shipping info" approach, as I'm certainly not the only one who has shadows of a move looming in their future, and it's a lot less work for you guys, not having to track down individual data to manually update it.
Interested in seeing the final product, once you approve of the final set up ;)
