Latest update on where things stand with the recent Kickstarter project:

Funds have been transferred. Proofs were ordered as of a couple weeks ago and we are still waiting for their arrival. We are confident the proofs will be final versions (fingers crossed). All of the digital book versions are completed as are all of the stretch goals. The FAL digital generator is one of the stretch goals and will be a continually updated thing, but the core is finished and contains a level-0 character generator, level-1 character generator, level-1 random character generator, build generator featuring towns, villages, and dungeons, and an encounter generator that allows users to choose level and environments to randomly generate encounters. 

Like I said, this is the core of the generator and changes will be made in future versions. We have a lot of thoughts as to what will be included in the generator, however, we feel good about what is there right now for the initial release. We think it is a great tool fro GM prep and quick character creation to get a game up and running in very little time. The generator is a series of HTML files and is intended to be used on a large screen (we aren't going to be worried about mobile devices right now). 

As soon as the proofs arrive, we will be making final checks and hopefull y getting rewards to backers shortly after. Thanks for the patience on all of this. We are really excited to get the books to everyone as we are really proud of them.

 Well, that's it. Thanks to all of you who backed our Kickstarter project. It was the most successful Far Away Land KS ever, both by total backers and $$. Now it's on us to fulfill our promises. We are excited to get the books and stretch goals to everyone. In the coming weeks we will post updates as to where things are with the project. Right now...

The books are finished and we are awaiting physical proofs of all four books. This is due to some small revisions and edits made after the previous proofs. 

The bestiary images, creature stat card pdfs, and map icon stretch goals are ready to go, they just need to be cleaned up a bit and organized so they can easily be delivered. The text app is done on a basic level and is already ready to go as well. However, the plan is to do some cleanup on that as well and add a couple new features before we release. 

We set our delivery date of November because so much was already completed on this project. The wait times for us now are on receiving proofs and making sure these final proofs are good to go. Once that is done all of the rewards will be sent out. A lot of time has been spent to ensure these books are in good shape so only one more rounds of proofs are needed. I am confident we will have everything sent to backers by the delivery date promised. Fingers crossed. 

Regardless if things go smoothly or if there are hiccups, we will be transparent and communicate and let everyone know where things are. 

Again, thank you all for supporting this project!

 Just a quick update to let you know that surveys have been sent as of this morning. Also, the proofs of the physical books have arrived an...
