I only just found out about the kickstarter. Will it be possible to join the throng by, for example, “adding” to a zero pledge through pledgemanager?

I only just found out about the kickstarter. Will it be possible to join the throng by, for example, “adding” to a zero pledge through pledgemanager? Hey, mate. Late pledges will be made available *soon*. I've reached out to Biohazard for an update on that, so should have some fresh info later today. |

Late pledges will likely open in the period just before the book goes to the printers. Biohazard will be making plenty of noise about it, when that time comes. We'll of course announce it here as well.

Looks awesome. Count me as another late pledge hopeful. Fantastic!  Thought I'd post the latest Kickstarter update here to give you an indication where the project currently is. TL;DR, not far till the last development stages now. "We have mostly transitioned from production of text and art to editing and layout. Accordingly, I thought I would share a little about our editing process. Much of my time on the project has been spent content editing text – both new and existing material. I edit the new content to fit freelancer contributions into the Blue Planet setting and style. I edit the existing content to keep the cool stuff we want, cull the stuff that just won’t fit, and update, modify and add to that original material. There’s been 25 years of technological, scientific, societal and game design advancement since the 1st edition was published, and one of the main reasons we are doing Recontact is to catch the game up with all those improvements. I’ve finished the content edits on almost everything, and our editor Rachael is cranking through her two-phase process. First she makes a line editing pass, editing for structure, grammar, comprehensibility and continuity – facts, dates, names, locations etc. Then she sends the files back to me for line-by-line approvals, after which I send them back to her for final proofreading - spelling, fine grammar and anything missed in the first pass. When these come back, I make a final review, and they go to layout. Keeping this process flowing is critical so there are no production bottlenecks with someone having to sit on their thumbs waiting for files to come in. The process is optimized when each of us - production, editing and layout - have stockpiles in our queues so we can all work in parallel. So far we have been able to maintain that balance, and it is serving the project well." |

Add me to the list of people who would very much welcome the chance to late back blue planet recontact. Welcome to the pod, Mordante! Let me see if I can get some sort of signup form organised, so you guys can all be notified by email when the Backerkit opens. But yeah, we'll be shouting loud when we have the dates for this, here on the forums, on Kickstarter, on Twitter, etc. |

As mentioned, we'll be shouting here on the forums and everywhere across social media, and of course on the Kickstarter page, when the time comes to open the pledge manager (likely Backerkit) - which is also how late pledges will be managed. But if you'd like to ensure you don't miss the announcements, please feel free to subscribe to the Biohazardous Updates here: www.biohazardgamespublishing.com/ |
