Good to see that you're getting this launched. Makes it seem like it's almost ready. So do I understand that it's all essentially written and now the kickstart is to fund it's printing?

Exactly so. The manuscripts are all in the hands of the editor. Next will be layout and printing. Very exciting time for us!

Wow, that's great, James! Very kind of you. Wait a minute. You changed your blog...

EDIT: Wait a minute part 2. How did you do that? I need to do the same on my site, which is wordpress format... This internet thing is confusing. Give me back my Commodore 64 and my modem that looked like something out of Matthew Broderick's Wargames.

Closed the first then made a new blog. I now think there was an easier way to do it, but it's done now. :P

Just kidding, James. It is the go to blog for new info on traditional p-n-p games.

25 days to go on the AS&SH Kickstarter campaign, and we are 2/3 to our funding goal! Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far, and also to everyone who has helped to spread the word on blogs, with facebook shares, etc. All of this helps!

Truly, it does. For example, James (above) mentioned the widget he placed on his blog. Someone arrived at the AS&SH Kickstarter page through that widget and pledged $75!

Also, I just wanted to mention that if you make a support pledge, the funds are not withdrawn until the campaign ends on January 15. Some folks have expressed interest, but also (understandably) expressed concerns about the nearness of the holidays.

Thanks again!
Cheers,
Jeff T.

Thanks John! But listen, don't feel obliged just because I've picked a few Brave Halfling items over the past few years. I'm not keeping score or any of that jazz. So, no pressure, old pal. :)

Cheers,

I was hoping to pick up this game at GaryCon III, so it's great to see this thing in the final stretch after so much waiting.

One question: Can you describe the planned T-shirt? (Sorry if it's already been asked)

Thanks for your enthusiasm! I appreciate your patience and do apologize that it took so long for this project to reach the editing and layout phase.

Great question! We are using this haunting Shoggoth image created by Ian Baggley. It is going to look perfect on a black t-shirt.
