Absolutely.  I may totally forget about it due to all the new stuff in my brain at the moment. You may have to remind me...but I will do it. I owe you that much at least for your continued support of my strange behavior. 

[Mr. Peabody]

After a great deal of agonizing and consideration, we've decided to include the PDF edition in all pledge levels that contain the printed Rulebook at no charge. 

Wow.   

[Uncle Mike]

Seems like a fair reward considering we did fund in 28 minutes. Very cool of all of you to jump on it so quickly.

Super nice! please make it very clear on the Kickstarter page that you are buying both a physical book AND a PDF version. It's not clear ATM, sorry for bugging you, but if this gives just a few more backers it would be great for all of us! :-)

Only a few hundred $ from the Aliens to be included! (I love Mi-Go's).

I've updated the visual pledge reference, added a note in the Rulebook section of the commentary, posted an update and added an FAQ item.  Unfortunately, what I can't do is edit the text of the actual pledge levels, as it becomes locked as soon as someone backs it.

Kind of a bizarre request, but I noticed that Morbid Adventures and the other Strange Aeons PDFs were taken down off the SA web shop (understandably). Would it be possible to have the supplemental material available as add-ons during the kickstarter? A year is a long time's worth of potential gaming, and I want to maximize my SA gaming! It might be a good way to raise some additional funds as well.

Very excited about the Kickstarter's progress, I'm currently getting terrain painted up and digging out my minis, hopefully I can get started playing here in a few weeks.

Haven't been active here for a while but I just needed Cosmic Horrors to be added to the rulebook...just brought the pledge amount over $22,500.

The Aliens have landed!  Now everybody can stop bugging us about adding Mi-Go to the game  



Aliens are a completely new Special type, and can access some unique Skills (who needs Command when you have a Hive Mind?) and their own list of advanced weapons.  I'm really pleased to see these included, as they're my most significant personal contribution to the rules to date.

The keen-eyed will also spot a new Stretch Goal reveal.  $30,000 will deliver a trio of card sets: an expanded Twisted Fate Deck, Solo Play Deck, and Zener Cards for Psychic Powers.

Its really tough to give up my hero early bird to change to gallantry....

You'll find that you really don't have to give anything up, as the percentage discount when you jump from the two Early Birds to the next pledge level is the same or just a tiny bit better.  ie. Extraordinary Heroism is 1% better than Early Bird Agent, and Gallantry in Action is almost identical to Early Bird Hero, so upgrading doesn't amount to any sort of discount loss.

That's not a bad idea at all.  The only challenge resides in our electing to use a pledge management tool at the conclusion of the campaign.  As a result, we won't actually know for certain exactly what Add-Ons backers have selected until they commit their final orders.  This makes distribution of PDFs to select backers a bit tricky.  I should mention though that we won't be removing any of the free supplements from our website, so everyone will still have access to all the extra Lurkers, Arcane Relics, and scenarios there, plus the rules for Mobs, Scenes of Horror, Promotion and Special Branch.

You dont understand the problem.....its not about the money...its about giving up a early bird ...they are holy....its the grail.....

An excellent point sir!  Let me see what I can do about that 

[harleyface]

Now you see the problem....

Yeah, I could see how that might get a bit tricky with the addition of a pledge manager and all that (and I've seen some pretty harsh examples of how problematic those can be). Perhaps make them as add-ons through Paypal only? That way it could just be a quick transaction essentially (or at least in my understanding - I've never used Paypal in conjunction with Kickstarter, so I'm unaware of any intricacies there). Even if its not able to be worked out, the core book has a ton of material and I'll definitely be getting  lots of SA in during the next year! Thanks for the response!

P.S. Aliens look fantastic!
