Smoke-Test!

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!

Hello Thunderians!
Nothing substantial to report except that everything is still in approvals and very patiently waiting for those green check marks.
I know it is difficult waiting, however, it's all just legal and process now regarding the pledge manager.
The very moment we get the green light, we will launch it!
Thanks for understanding
Pledge Manager Update

Greetings Thunderians,
This is a weekly update regarding the state of the project. Moving forward, we aim to provide updates weekly, or bi-weekly at the latest, as development is progressing quickly.
We intended to launch the pledge manager yesterday; however, we are still awaiting final approval from BackerKit. We are currently addressing a few shipping details and platform notes to ensure a successful launch. As many of you know, launching a manager incorrectly can lead to significant logistical issues, so we are carefully reviewing all requirements.
The good news is that the pledge manager is complete and finalized. We are simply working through the remaining technical kinks and expect it to be live early next week. We will provide another update once it is officially launched.
Thank you for your patience.
