Hello, Thunderians!
The big update you’ve all been waiting for is here!
After a thorough review to ensure everything respects the license, we’re happy to share that both books have been approved, pending two small logo placement changes.
What does this mean?
We’re now preparing the print files and getting the PDFs ready for delivery. We’re still waiting for final confirmation on the PDF release date, but it will likely be next week.
If you haven’t closed your pledge manager yet, please do so. PDF delivery depends on your pledge manager being closed and payments being collected. Once that’s complete, you’ll receive your PDFs. We will lock the pledge manager down on Friday.
We’ll share another update next week to wrap up this stage and move into the printing schedule. Everything else is complete and being prepared for manufacturing, including screens, sheets, stat cards, and more.
Thanks so much for your patience! We waited a few weeks to report back because approval was still pending, and now we have it.
Tommy, our lead designer, will walk through the document on stream this Friday at 5 p.m. Eastern. He’ll preview the digital PDF, share what makes it exciting, and answer questions. Come check it out!
Anyone excited?

Hey Thunderians,
We are close to completion. To clarify, the May 20 update was referring to the Pledge Manager launch, not the final RPG PDFs. The Pledge manager has been sent to everyone as of last week.
The RPG books are still moving through final production. We understand the wording may have caused some confusion. We’ll share more information on PDF delivery once we have a confirmed timeline.
Everything is now in final approvals except for one item. That being said, here's a sneak peak on something fun while we wait.
The pledge manager will close soon. We are closing in approximately 14 days. Once closed, the approvals should be complete and we can work to begin delivering digital rewards.
Keep in mind, this is not set in stone. This is our current desired timeline. Subject to final approvals. Printing begins shortly after.
It's bee a bit behind, but we're not bad all things considering. Thanks for hanging in there. We're close! Next update we'll give you another sneak... peak... ;)

Hail Thundarians!
Great news! Everything has been approved on the Pledge Manager. We're going to launch what's called a smoke-test. This is about 2-5% of the backers to receive the pledge manager so that we can watch and ensure everything goes according to plan.
After the smoke test (one-week) we'll launch the full thing!
We'll update you next week with details and another sample to show to keep the pallet moist! ;)
This WEEK!

Hello everyone,
Good news! One last approval for the pledge manager. We got green text throughout, however...
This is on Backerkit's side, and it's really only a business day or two. Once approved, everything else has been set up and we can begin a smoke test which sends a minor amount of pledges to see if everything is working.
After that we'll release the pledge manager and keep it open for a few weeks while we send approved products to start mastering the proofs and finally print this game!
This project is not as quickly delivered as we would like it, however, considering the additions and complications with setting it up, we're not far off! Appreciate your patience and I'll be sure to update again within a week or two with more news as we complete the next steps.
If you happen to be either in the Chicago area for Anime Central OR in Atlanta for Momocon, we'll be there running games on stage and quite approachable to ask questions or talk Thundercat's shop!
Thunder..... Thunder.... Thundercats.....
Update for Progress

Hey Thunderians,
I wanted to provide a quick update on our current progress.
We are currently working through some technical hurdles with the Backerkit Pledge Manager. There are several small details to resolve, and since communication between teams takes a few days, we are unfortunately unable to expedite this part of the process.
Regarding the books: The Adventure Book: Layout is complete and it is print-ready, pending final approval from the licensor.
The Main Campaign Book: We are finalizing the last few requested edits and turning them over quickly while we wait for Backerkit to go live.
We understand that some of these updates may feel repetitive, but we are committed to providing the frequent communication you’ve requested.
Next week, I hope to announce the launch of the Pledge Manager and share more news regarding the module book. If possible, I’d also love to preview the GM screen or the character sheets.
Thank you for your patience. There are many moving parts, but we are very close.
Stay strong, fellow Thunderians!
