In the Old, In With the New!

Update #62 · May 6, 2013 · 2 comments

Folks,

I've gotten a lot of emails since last week in response to requests for information about backer rewards. Honestly I'm surprised at just how gracious, easy-going, and damn cool you people are. The response to the game and bonus rewards has been great, and those of you still waiting on things have been patient. Thank you!

Ben and I have our next Lovecraftian horror underway, the one born right here with the Building An Elder God Kickstarter campaign ... The Very Hungry Cthulhupillar!

As I said last week, I'm still committed to tying up all loose ends and making sure everyone's happy with their participation in Building An Elder God. If you have any questions please contact me. If you're interested in our new project please click the link below and check it out!

Update #60 · Mar 14, 2013 · comment

Hey folks! This is NOT a regular update, just me sharing a bit of humor that rolled into my feed courtesy of my friend John Kovalic and his comic, Dork Tower.

For the record, I agree with the principle of regular communication with backers until everything is completely done and everyone has all their stuff. But I laughed, because before you run a Kickstarter campaign you don't know that updates become an extra part of your job that didn't exist before. I'll be back with a regular project update from Las Vegas on Monday!

FAQ & Variant Gameplay

Update #58 · Feb 11, 2013 · comment

Good morning, folks! Things are chugging along here at Signal Fire Studios in the new year ... nothing happening as quickly as I would like but some exciting things on the horizon.

Rewards Update

The good news is that I've started slowly getting some materials due everyone out the door, so some of you have some things coming in the mail already. I wish I could make everything happen all at once but this process will instead be a trickle rather than a flood. For making you wait, I'm exploring a few extras to throw into the pot to thank you for your support and patience. Our game would never have happened without you! Everything you have on your rewards is still coming your way, and I'll keep you updated.

FAQ & Variants

I'm happy to announce that we've got a "living" FAQ (meaning it will stay updated as we field more questions from players) and some variant game rules up on the site now. Click here to check it out! Let us know what works for you and if there is any other gameplay variants you've come up with as you've played the game.

Thanks everyone! More news soon as more overdue rewards continue to head out the door.
