A few things:
1. Will we get PDF copies early, so we can start killing our friends under these rules ASAP? 2. This is just an off thought, but have you spoken to JimFirePrincess about selling it in Europe? I mention this simply because there was a bunch of traffic to my site from a French forum of some sort, and I don't know French, but they seemed pretty excited about it.

Jeff, it took a bit of pleading and begging but my wife finally relented. As soon as I get my paycheck in the bank I'm going for the bronze. I have to say that I like everything I've read here and on your site about this game. As a hardcore lover of sword and sorcery material I do believe that you've created a winner.

Honestly I can't say yet, because the PDF will be built of the print version, except that we will replace all the high res print images with low res, and then add the bookmarking. So at the moment I'm not sure.

Can you provide the link to the French site? One of my developers, Benoist, is French, and maybe he can help with that.
Regarding Jim of Flame Princess fame, he already carries one of my books, and perhaps we will talk about this sort of thing in the future. It is a possibility.

Personally, I would offer her to Azathoth, but that's just me.

Seriously, thank you for your support and interest in the project. I'm happy to hear it strikes a chord with you.

It's offical, just signed up and sent my payment/support. Would you believe that last night I pulled some of my CAS and HPL to start looking through them in order to create adventures. Jeff, you've got me hooked.

Thank you for your generous pledge of support! It is tremendously appreciated. I hope you find the material useful for your S&S campaign, Mythos!

Your welcome Jeff. I have to admit that I've never seen a S&S setting that captured my interest more then what you have created. I look forward to having the chance to run this with my players and getting their reactions.

Fellows,
Seven days remain for the Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea Kickstarter Campaign. Meeting our 10k stretch goal will be a great help in reducing out of pocket expenses for this project. Thank you to all our gaming peers for your generous pledges of support and well wishes. We could not have done this without you.

Jeff, I think you owe yourself some credit. You've produced a setting that speaks to a lot of gamers. Without your efforts we would still be looking for that elusive Sword and Sorcery setting.

This is hard to do when you are your own worst critic, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Whether you're writing a novel, painting a portrait, building a birdhouse, or cobbling together an adventure to present to your gaming fellows, it is easy to become overly critical of your own results; I suppose it's human nature, eh?

Hello fellows,
Just a quick reminder: 3 days remain for our Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers Kickstarter Campaign. For folks who are interested in this boxed set RPG, please note that a "Copper Level" support pledge gets you the game (boxed set with manuals, map, dice, and character sheet), your name in the credits, and a complimentary PDF of the game.
For pledgers in the USA, free shipping also applies, and in other countries, the shipping charges are extremely low ($3 for Canada + Mexico; $5 elsewhere). Standard shipping rates will apply once the fundraiser is over. Thank you for your consideration!

Jeff, I'm not sure how Kickstarter would deal with this, but say that I wanted to up my contribution to Copper from Bronze---would it recognize the difference between the two, or would I end up contributing $60?
