Update #14: Z-Ward shipping deets
Z-WARD and Z-WARD-X have arrived safe and sound at Skull Mountain. They're available for order now on the MMT site and *all* orders will start shipping when I return from Maine on Monday.
I have the shirts and other goodies (!) but I'm still awaiting the buttons and patches. Here's how I'll do the shipping: the $10-$20 orders will go out first (because I have all the materials here) followed by the $25+ orders in January. Cool?
Print copies of Z-WARD-X (the expansion) may be available in print once the kickstarter orders are sent out. Thanks for your support!

Funding Successful
This project successfully raised its funding goal on November 30.
Pledge $2 or more Pledge $2 or more
You get Z-Ward as a PDF. Keen! This is an advance copy — any errata or post-publication changes (like thank you's) will be added to future versions, which you'll totally get.
Pledge $5 or more Pledge $5 or more
This is the same as the $2 reward but I'll throw in the Action Castle PDF (which contains all the basic rules to Parsely, as well as the kick-ass game that started all this insanity)! Plus: a Parsely PDF micro-green (a mini-game, yay).
Pledge $10 or more Pledge $10 or more
You get both the print version of Z-Ward (shipping included) and a free PDF version of the game (as soon as it's available in November), plus your name recorded on the Z-Ward web page's "Board of Trustees."
Pledge $15 or more Pledge $15 or more
This level nets you the $10 reward plus PDFs of all of the other Parsely games—that's more than a half-dozen games! You'll also get a big wet virtual kiss on the Z-Ward web page.
Pledge $20 or more Pledge $20 or more
Imagine the $15 reward but with a second copy of Z-Ward. Can you do that? THAT'S WHAT THIS IS! All of the Parsely PDFs and two printed versions of Z-Ward—give one to a friend who beats the game!
Pledge $25 or more Pledge $25 or more
You'll receive the print and PDF versions of Z-Ward (shipping included) and your name recorded on the Z-Ward web page's Board of Trustees. We'll also send you a Parsely starter pack featuring print versions of Action Castle 1 and 2!
Pledge $50 or more Pledge $50 or more
This is one of the big ones. Donate 50 clams and you'll receive the entire Parsely series (a total of 8 games in both print and PDF) and your name in the game (listed in the "in-patient roster"). I know, right? Madness!
Pledge $100 or more Pledge $100 or more
For a solid Benjamin, you'll get everything from the $50 reward, plus signed copies of my RPG books: Lacuna and InSpectres. Be one of the first five $100+ pledges and you'll get a Z-Ward NPC named after you! Right now, they don't have names. Sad panda.
Pledge $250 or more Pledge $250 or more
What can you get for $250? Plenty. Get all the rewards mentioned thus far and I'll get on the train to anywhere within NY, CT, NJ or PA and run through some Parsely games with you and your friends. A great deal for local convention organizers.
Pledge $500 or more Pledge $500 or more
A generous albeit ridiculous pledge of $500 gets you the above-mentioned goodies plus I will hand-deliver these suckers to anywhere within the East Coast of the US and we'll play some Z-Ward and other games. That means a plane ride, kids...and I hate flyin'.
Pledge $750 or more Pledge $750 or more
This is crazy-town. You've been warned! For 750 simoleons you'll get all the stuff listed above but I'll travel to anywhere within the continental United States — ugh, more planes.
Pledge $1,500 or more Pledge $1,500 or more
The Pledge-pocalyse is here. For $1500, I will rock the house. YOUR HOUSE. Not only will I bring copies of all my games to your domicile/convention, but I'll design and publish a custom Parsely game based on a theme and genre of your choosing! Of course, you'll get your name in the credits, creative input and a big thank you for supporting my Parsely games. To top it off, you'll receive 30 copies of the finished product to pass on to friends and family members. There is no way anyone is going to do this but what the hell? I'm insane...!
Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
Jared A. Sorensen writes, designs and publishes games for no good reason. He is credited as one of the "founding fathers" of the indie RPG movement and is the creator of numerous RPGs and games including FreeMarket, Lacuna, InSpectres and the Parsely series. Jared is also a veteran of the computer games industry and has worked for the likes of Turbine, Mattel, Atari, LucasArts and PF.Magic.
Alas, also I didn't see my name in the game under in-patient roster. :-(
Only just remembered to mention that. Perhaps in future printings...?
Sorry to annoy you, but I just want to add that I really enjoy doing business with you, because I think you put out a quality product and that you care about your customers. I would hate someone to only see me whining about the negatives.
Also, ZW was a rousing success at my gaming table!
Fear not. Your name's there, Joe. You were mailed the preview copy which wasn't quite done.
All Kickstarter backers get Z-W-X for free. 244 copies will be sent out and everyone should have access the PDF (either because I emailed directly or through RPGNow*).
*In January everyone should be able to get the updated versions through RPGNow. I could only send out 150 copies of each title through that system.
