Latest Updates from Our Project:
November 2019 Update
over 4 years ago
– Fri, Nov 29, 2019 at 09:40:50 AM
Hello Survivors!
You've just about made it through another month! And with that, comes our regular month end updates!
I can follow up on last month with the note that DystopiaRising: Evolution is currently with the printer. Test proofs are being created so that the team can review and ensure everything's coming out the way it should be before the print run is officially launched. My guess, just from observing a few projects now, is that things will go full steam early in the new year. So, as noted last month, now is the time to review and confirm your information in BackerKit in anticipation of our lock down and ship out in the next few months.

So, some big rewards making forward progress, and we're getting within striking distance of moving a few from the Pending list to Completed! Just a bit longer...
I'll post our list of delivered and pending rewards with each monthly update, so that we can track everything that's needed and keep on the same page. Also, feel free to check out Onyx Path's Monday Meeting Notes posts that I mentioned (linked here) which will give you a weekly status report on ALL of the projects Onyx Path has on the go (you may see spoilers for my monthly updates, or see what other kickstarter campaigns are currently running or about to launch).
NOW ON KICKSTARTER - FINAL WEEK!
In Mummy: The Curse, players take on the characters of the Arisen, humans who were subjects of the greatest magic ever worked by mortal hands, the Rite of Return, in the long-lost Nameless Empire. As part of the Rite, they underwent ritual death, and their souls were eternally bound to their mortal remains. Consequently, while the Arisen can be killed, they will always return, their bodies reforming anew.
Mummy: The Curse Second Edition includes all the rules you need to play as one of the Arisen: Decrees and Pillars that reflect the transformation by the Rite of Return, Utterances and Affinities as the powers you wield and the price you pay for them, magical relics and vessels for use or sacrifice, and all manner of antagonists from immortals to Shuankhsen and others besides.

Happy Halloween, Survivors!
You recognize that guy? Second from the right? Yeah, that's him!
I'm sneaking in on the final day of the month to send out our regular update! It'll be super-quick, as I'm spending most of the day changing costumes! It's like a Concierge fashion show!

So, a nice shift from last month, and our Completed pile is now bigger than our Pending pile! Everything's moving in the right direction!
Pre-Review Review
The files for DystopiaRising: Evolution are being prepped for printing. There are still a lot of steps involved, including reviewing printer proofs and making final corrections/tweaks before the actual print process is unleashed, but we're on the precipice of moving into a major phase of the campaign.
Once the proofs are approved and actual printing has begun, I will begin our lockdown phase, where I solidify the orders and quantities and lock in everyone's order in BackerKit. We'll then process any outstanding payments (either stuff that didn't process correctly on Kickstarter or payment for Add Ons from backerkit, or pre-orders), and then I'll get everyone to confirm their shipping addresses.
If you want to get out way in front, you can review your information in BackerKit - make sure your order is correct and includes any Add On information that you needed to provide, payment information is updated and ready (if required), and your shipping address is current - or current to where you'll be in late early 2020.
Again, we're not *quite* at that stage yet, but it's not a bad idea to give everything a once over now, so it's all good when the time comes. When I get the green light, I'll be sending out a 6-week timeline that will break these steps into regular weekly deadlines, so you'll have plenty of time to re-review!
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://dystopia-rising-evolution.backerkit.com
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://dystopia-rising-evolution.backerkit.com/faq

ANOTHER Digital Reward Distribution!
over 4 years ago
– Wed, Oct 23, 2019 at 02:36:49 PM
Hello again, Survivors!
PDF Team, back again Check it to wreck it, let's begin Party on, party people, let me hear some noise Concierges in the house, jump, jump, rejoice
Well, the digital rewards seem to be flowing like... digital water? Something? Ones and zeroes? I don't know, but you get the idea - we've got ANOTHER Digital Reward ready and waiting for you! It hasn't quite been a month since we sent out the Jumpstart (which is now available for non-Kickstarter backers! Spread the word), and just a couple weeks since the Reference Charts and Wallpaper went out, but here we are!
Introduced and expanded via Stretch Goal during the campaign, I'm happy to share, for the first time, our threat guide: HELNAU'S GUIDE TO WASTELAND BEASTIES
Get some info on the baddies roaming the badlands...
REWARD DISTRIBUTION
Your link to claim your copy of the Helnau'sGuide to Wasteland Beasties PDF for DystopiaRising: Evolution will be sent out by our BackerKit pledge manager today. Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you will need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service. http://www.drivethrurpg.com/contact_us.php
Again, you will receive an e-mail from BackerKit with a link for the Helnau'sGuide to Wasteland Beasties Backer PDF today if the DR:E ThreatGuide is on your expected list of rewards.
The easiest way to see if you've got digital downloads available is to login to your backerkit account: https://dystopia-rising-evolution.backerkit.com/backer/digital_rewards and it'll show anything available. Your backerkit account should also confirm all rewards that you should expect from your reward tier selected.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://dystopia-rising-evolution.backerkit.com
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://dystopia-rising-evolution.backerkit.com/faq
BACKER PDF VERSION
This is the first version of Helnau'sGuide to Wasteland Beasties to be released. We've sent you this initial Backer PDF for three reasons:
1) To thank you for your support! You helped bring this game to life (so to speak!) and bring this into the world, and you deserve to see it first!
2) So you can start using this info right away! This is the Threat Guide for Dystopia Rising: Evolution after all, so guide some threats into your story!
3) To make the final version the best it can be! The design and development teams have done their best to proofread and correct any errors and typos - but some always sneak through. Just like you did for the Jumpstart last month, If you catch any typos, incorrect math, visual glitches, and the like, we want to hear about them and correct them before we finalize the PDF for release!
With that in mind, let'sstart this errata and correction process!
Generally, we try to keep errata collection open for the next 2 weeks, so please report what you can as soon as possible to make sure we're getting everything covered.
We won't be collecting errata from other spots, just this specific form. Please note this form will be for errata only - typos, incorrect math, page elements that overlap incorrectly, etc. It won't be for book discussion - you can do that in a different thread, or on the Kickstarter comments page.
Also, they already know about the Page XX notations - those are usually corrected after any changes are made and the books are being finalized.
After any needed corrections are made (based on your feedback!), we will prepare an updated final PDF version of the book and you will receive a notice that you can re-download your file with the latest version.
You've already made the game a reality with your Kickstarter support. Now you can make it even better by helping us crowdsource any minor errors and corrections.
I'll have another update next week to go over our current reward status, but wanted to move this from "Pending" to "Delivered" and out to you awesome backers right away! Dig in and enjoy!

You woke up… different. Someone changed you: on a slab, an operating table, an altar. By luck or by fate, you escaped. Hunted by your creators, they hold all the cards, and it seems they might recapture you. Except, what they don’t understand is they’ve stoked the fires of vengeance; what they did wasn’t right. What they don’t know is that now — you’re hunting them.
