Backerkit Surveys
I can't emphasize enough how important it is to complete the Backerkit Survey.
Please check your email (and spam folder) linked to your kickstarter account for your backerkit survey. If you can't find it, please send me an email or PM on Kickstarter so I can send you a direct link.
Backerkit is being used for fulfillment, so you must complete the backerkit survey to receive physical rewards.
You'll also have immediate access to digital rewards as soon as you complete the survey.
Print Proofs
Print proofs arrived today!!
All in all, I couldn't be happier with the quality of the print.
These feel genuinely fantastic to hold in hand.
That said, there are some minor tweaks that need made before going into full production.
We're reworking some files now to resample, but I'm pretty confident we won't have to go through any further rounds of revision after this one.
Surveys & Digital Rewards?!

Surveys?!
I'll be sending out a batch of smoke test surveys this week. So long as everything functions correctly, all other surveys will be sent immediately after.
The purpose of the surveys at this time is to lock down required quantities per region, so I make sure to supply the distribution regions with an appropriate quantity of each reward.
Even if there are no changes to your rewards, you must fill out the Backerkit survey. This will allow you access to the Digital Rewards and will be required for your Physical Rewards to be shipped to you. Survey deadline is August 21st.
Note: You'll be able to purchase more add-ons with this survey, but shipping will not be charged at this time. Shipping will be charged nearer to time of fulfillment to ensure that any address changes and shipping rate changes are captured at time of shipment.
Printing?!
Digital files have been approved, and print proofs are currently being printed! After the physical print proofs are reviewed and deemed acceptable, and after the August 21st survey deadline, final print quantities will be confirmed and the full print run will commence!
Digital Rewards
If you have not received an email from DriveThruRPG with your Digital Rewards link, please send me a PM on Kickstarter with your DriveThruRPG e-mail address and I'll resolve that for you.
Please note that AppleID emails are especially problematic for DTRPG fulfillment, so if you have an AppleID in your Kickstarter account, that is undoubtedly why you haven't received a DriveThruRPG email.
After you complete the Backerkit survey, you'll have immediate access to your Digital Rewards through Backerkit. A link will appear after completing the survey, and you will also be able to access the Digital Files using following these steps:
1. Log in: Go to BackerKit and sign in to your backer account.
2. Open profile: Click your profile icon in the top right corner and select Your Pledges & Surveys.
3. Select project: Find and click on the "Grok?! 2e" project under the Your Surveys tab.
4. Download rewards: On your Survey Review page, click the Get Your Digital Rewards button to view and download your files or codes.

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?!

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?!
