You get a PDF!.. and you get a PDF!..
Digital Rewards are now sent via DriveThruRPG and Backerkit, using the email provided thru Kickstarter.
If you have any specific questions or notice issues, please send them to me via Kickstarter PM.
Otherwise, if you enjoy what you see, please consider leaving a review on DriveThruRPG once the PDFs are available to the public later this week!
What's Else?!
The Backerkit Pre-Order page is live!
Also, the Grok?! 2e Diceweaver VTT (beta) is live!
As a reminder, check out GanderGaming.com for some awesome FREE tools!
What's Next?!
Proof prints will begin production this coming week!
Printing and shipping to distribution centers should take a couple months.
Once the books are received and ready for fulfillment, surveys will be sent via Backerkit to lock-in addresses and collect shipping.
In the meantime, enjoy the PDFs and please send me your play reports via discord!

Quick Update?!
As of today, Kris has finished preparing files for print. Next steps will be to send the files to the printer for review, get print proofs back, revise/approve, then printing begins!
In the meantime, I'll be pushing out the Backerkit this week, which will handle fulfillment surveys and allow for pre-orders. I aim to have this active by next weekend. After this, digital rewards will be sent out.
Check it out!
I want to take a moment and recognize the amazing work that Kris has done on Grok?! 2e. He's one of the most talented and humble people I've ever worked with, and the mere fact that he's involved in this project has elevated it beyond anything I could have hoped for.
If you get the chance, please check out some of the other awesome projects he's done (some of which I've even done some writing on!).

Thank you so much for backing my project!
Here's what the future looks like:
- Kickstarter will charge cards for all pledges in the next 14-days.
- Late Pledges will be available through kickstarter.
- Backerkit will open shortly, to be used for pre-orders and fulfillment.
- Files are being prepared for print, with production to commence shortly thereafter.
- Digital rewards will be used around the same time as print-ready files are completed.
- Once books are printed and received at distribution hubs, surveys will be sent via Backerkit.
- Backerkit surveys will confirm delivery addresses, and shipping/VAT/etc. will be charged at this time.
While you await the next update, here's a family photo of Lesser Ones from the Nether.
Aren't they just the cutest things?!

Get Hype!
To help hype Grok?! 2e, I've worked with my great friend Tom Hickman to implement tools on the GanderGaming.com website.
You can now roll dice pools with baked in features for Grok?! mechanics like Advantage/Disadvantage and Pushing rolls. It even tells you the result per the Outcomes table!
You can also get access to a fillable Character Sheet, generate a complete and wholly random Player Character, as well as generate random Scenes, NPCs, and Assets.
If there are any other features you'd like to see, please post them in the comments!
Sickest Wretch
A friend of mine just launched their Sickest Wretch supplement for their game called Sickest Witch. The Sickest Witch is a dark, low-fantasy setting with smooth mechanics. It has a very focused setting, strongly reinforced by its system, and it does them both very well. The kickstarter also offers some pretty cool looking wooden minis.
NEARING THE END?!

Other Projects
Kris McClanahan is the genius responsible for the Grok?! 2e layout, and is also currently funding Dweomerdark!
It's a SONGS & SAGAS based game, focusing on cooperative dwarven dungeon exploration, written by Alan Bahr. It's a focused OSR inspired game with modern sensibilities and I think the aesthetics really nail the vibe.
