Woo! The final version of the PDF is done, and we’re up for printing!
First of all, thank you all so much for your patience and understanding. Truly, it means a lot to me that so many of you have been playing and talking about Masks, and I can’t wait to get the book into your hands (and into my own, for that matter—my grubby mitts ache).
Delivering the PDFs
Now! We have the final version of the PDF, ready to share with you all! You should be able to find that in Backerkit—we’ve uploaded the file there so we can make this update public to everyone. The messages with the core book PDF, and with coupon codes for DriveThruRPG, have gone out. We’ll also be sending you the final copies of the deck PDFs through Backerkit, so you can find them again easily. Everyone who backed for $10 or more should be getting those files.
Here are your Backerkit digital downloads.
Just log in to Backerkit and they should be available for you.
In the mean time, here's the DriveThruRPG page for the game.
Please share it around, put up reviews, and let other people know that the game is here!
You can find the additional materials needed for play on our Magpie Games website.
For reference, here’s a large chunk of our long example that we had to cut to make space in the text, but available for your perusal.
And on our website is a list of all of our amazing backers...
...along with a list of our Halcyon City Champions, who went above and beyond for playtesting purposes.
At this point, we’re about to send the book for printing. If you see any last proofreading issues, you can send a message to [email protected].
Schedule
What’s our schedule moving forward? Our goal is to get you the PDFs of the Halcyon City Herald Collection and Masks: Unbound by the end of the year, with Secrets of A.E.G.I.S. coming shortly in the new year. After that, we’ll turn our sights to the first issue of Halcyon City Stories, the comic book.
Right now, the HCHC pieces are just about to enter copy editing, and we’ve heard some useful feedback from the playtesting on the playbooks.
On that note...here’s some awesome art for the new playbooks!
Continuing the Series
We’re still full speed ahead, and in the home stretch. The core book will go off to the printer soon, and the supplements are well on their way!
Thanks again for all your support and all your patience. I hope that you’re as excited as I am, and I appreciate your kindness and your continued interest throughout all this!
Onward to new issues! :)
