Hey, I missed the Kickstarter but am really interested in the game. I was hoping to have a look at the beta playbooks to get a better idea of what to expect, but those were apparently backer only. Any chance of a link?
I also cannot find any mention of a PDF-only option for purchasing Masks when it’s released and there’s no PDF-only option on BackerKit. I can only assume that’s going to be an option. So any word on when that will arrive?
A post from two weeks ago mentioned the playbooks being in the final layout phase. No idea what that means in terms of general game release.
We’re close! In fact, we’re talking with our editor about finalizing the text by the end of the week, which means layout isn’t far behind. I think it’s safe to say that we’ll see a backer version of the PDF in April.
As for general release, we’ll need a bit more time. We need more art for the book, and we’ll want to proof it before it’s released on DTRPG. Maybe in April though! We’ll see how it goes.
Magpie Games Is playtest over then? Many changes made? I should have asked sooner, as I’ve struggled with Kickstarters in the past where the final version of the game was significantly different from the one I grew to love during playtest.
Having seen the most recent draft, the rules are still great!
Adam Goldberg That…doesn’t actually answer the question.
Well I don’t work for the company!
Awesome. Glad to hear the release is getting close.
As for the initial question, any chance for a link to the beta playbooks?
Bryanna Hitchcock – The rules are final, but they aren’t radically different than the original draft. A lot of our playtesting actually helped Brendan Conway write the full text of the game. I think you’ll be very happy with the final, official version of the game.
Right now, we’re in the final stages of editing, about to go to layout. Stay tuned: new playbooks and the full PDF are coming soon, but we’ve got a bit longer before it’s all done.
