Arcforge Update from Matt Daley

Hi everyone,
Thanks to all who participated in the playtest on our Discord channel! We got tons of great feedback and Matt dived back into the word mines on both of the big Arcforge books. One of the final steps is incorporating hyperlinks for ease of reference to over 100 different sourcebooks from core rulebook to class expansions, adventures, and more! Matt is currently 150 pages into the hyperlinking process for the Arcforge Player's Guide. When that finishes, Ihe'll be sending the book off to Johannes for his editing pass. While he's doing that, he'll be compiling the massive Section 15 OGL reference and the hyperlinks for the Arcforge Universe Cyclopedia.
We are hoping to have this production phase tied up by the end of September and get your books and PDFs on their way!

Hi all,
Matt's playtest (see last update) is coming to a close soon, with our target to close things up around the end of the month and prep books for layout in August!
Meanwhile, I sent out 24 copies of the Aethera Campaign Setting hardcover today, to all our USA and Canada backers. For our international fans, we've got books headed to our intermediary to ship from them to you. These books are coming directly from LG. The remaining Arcforge books will all ship directly from the printer once the Arcforge hardcovers are ready to go.
Meanwhile, backers Seidman, Kankelborg, Young, Lanis, Ostrow, Bryan, Kortbein, Hall, Owen, Rudd, Mertens, Mull, Nedzlek, Jones, Ottosen, Brooks, Hubert, Moeller, Clugston, Riehm, Rist, Perry, Flemming, and Hinojosa, Aethera is heading your way!

Hi all,
Arcforge master Matt Daley has been having a great and very productive playtest time rolling through Arcforge and wanted me to announce that the playtest is entering the final phase, with things winding up by the end of the month. We would love for any of you who have not yet jumped into the fray to check out the playtest documents online now and fire off your questions or comments so we can make these books the very best they can be!

Hi all,
I got a few emails about folks not being able to get their PDFs and I had to poke around in Backerkit. It turned out that the "Start Distribution" button had not been pushed yet. Whoops! All of your PDFs are now ready for download (aside from the two main Arcforge books themselves, of course, which are still in playtest with Matt Daley on our Discord)! But if you need your Alien, Aethera, or Mythic books, you can download them now on Backerkit!
We also would like to invite you to check out our latest Kickstarter project, A Tale of Two Seas for Pathfinder 1E and 2E and D&D 5E! In this project, you'll find monsters, adventures, and campaign lore from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and beyond! You'll find over 100 killer creatures from Southern Europe and North Africa, from Greece to Portugal and Morocco to Malta in our new Mediterranean Monsters bestiaries for PF1 & PF2 and Mother of Monsters Adventure Path for 5E, along with our beautiful Boricubos: The Lost Isles Caribbean campaign setting and companion Latin American Monsters bestiary for all three systems! Plus get VTT support on Roll20, Foundry, Fantasy Grounds, and Shard! Nearly 300% funded already, we hope you'll check it out!
Over 75% of you have completed your surveys! Start downloading now!

Hi all,
We are at almost 80% complete for your surveys, so thanks for your prompt attention! I've locked the orders of those who have completed theirs so far and have charged cards where needed, so if you have completed your survey you now should be able to download all of your files on Backerkit! The exceptions are:
- Any VTT activation codes, as we are getting those sorted out with the VTT providers and will get those set up soon.
- The final files for the Arcforge Player's Compendium and Arcforge Universe Cyclopedia. As noted in our earlier updates, those books are still in playtesting (hop on our Discord and be a part of it!) and we look forward to completing that this summer and sending the books to layout for you!
All your other books should be ready to download directly from Backerkit! Since there is the time lag with playtesting before we ship, we will wait to Lock Addresses until the print books are ready to go later this year. We'll send out a notification to double check your addresses when that time approaches and make sure we get everyone's rewards where they need to go!
Thanks again for your stellar support of this project, and we hope you look forward to our next new project, A Tale of Two Seas: Monsters & Adventuresfrom the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and more for PF1, PF2, and 5E!
