We have a completed PDF for the 3.0/Mighty Protectors rulebook. We’re giving it one more day for in-house review, then we expect to send it out to the Kickstarter backers TOMORROW (7/27).
The print edition is only waiting for us to complete the back cover layout, which will take another day or two. And then THAT will begin to ship.
PDF and Print editions of Mighty Protectors will be available for purchase by the general public soon after all of the backer copies have shipped.
It’s been a long difficult struggle, but the culmination of all our efforts is now right through that door. Our deepest thanks to everyone who has supported us, financially or otherwise. You are the reason we’ve worked so hard, and you’re the heroes who came to our rescue. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
