MekBorg PDF minus appendices is in your Backerkit

Hey...
Yeah, yeah, another update. However:
You got mail. MekBorg PDF in its "pretty version" minus the appendices and the big ol' list of monsters and meks named after you guys (there's fuckin', like... 100+ of 'em) are in your Backerkit. There are 3,000+ files going out, all pretty large, so it may be slow to hit you.
If you don't see it by MONDAY, JANUARY 27th, message us here or at [email protected], and we'll see what's up.
Oh, and be nice. We're humans, and there are two of us doing this, one of whom is only part-time, working as a nurse full-time, and me. Shit happens. Either way, I'm placing orders once China returns from vacation in late February. This new company works fast but it's still a slow boat from China. and god only knows the state of things in the world by that time.
Steel Psalm will follow shortly. After that, it's just me making whatever strikes my fancy, well... forever. The way I see it is you basically paid for, like... a year of content. So that's what you'll get.
And if you don't want to be nice, fine. You'll be a slime in the book. Not even a cool one. Just, you know... mud with a face.
(By the way, for all of you who are cool with everything, y'all rock!)

EGREGIOUS FRIEND PROMOTIONAL POST!
Hey nerds,
My pal Brian Colin from VAST GRIMM fame is getting ready to launch his minis-agnostic game set in the world of Vast Grimm. It goes LIVE in February.
Here's what it promises:
• Forbidden Psalm-Compatible
• Cool Design
• Space Horror
• WORMS
• MAGENTA
Follow and back it, or be turned into a slime creature in the MEK BORG universe.

Go!

Main Book is Written, Appendices are Being Wrapped up, Printing Starts in Late Feb/March

Hey all,
Well, the title pretty much says it all. The main book for MekBorg is written. We had roughly 100 people (!!!) submit ideas for enemy MEKs and Kaiju, so those are being added right now and then I'm going to toss in an adventure or two. Then I'll tidy up Steel Psalm.
I'm debating releasing just the main book for MekBorg, so you hungry fools can devour it whilst waiting on the rest of the stuff. If you wanna weigh in, do so in the Discord.
And if you aren't in the Discord, wtf is wrong with you? Join now: https://discord.gg/BC5A435K
Oh, if you didn't hear, I'm testing a new printer with my horror book. It's the same one that Free League uses for their boxed sets. I'm only doing 700 copies of that one (versus the 3,000+ of each of these two books), so if they suck, I'll know before spending all my/your moolah.
So far, they seem pretty legit, and they're eager for business. China is about to go on its month-long Spring Festival vacation. Once they're back from that, I plan to submit these two books and get the printing going. The rest of the doo-dads are coming from other manufacturers, and I've already got most of 'em (pins, stickers, yadda yadda).
Anywho, just thought I'd keep y'all in the loop. Yeah, it's late, but so what—I'd rather it be perfect than "on time." I've done the 'GOTTA MEET THAT DEADLINE' before and released some absolutely terrible crap. My only regret was saying it was "done" last summer at the end of the KS.
Ah well, c'est la vie.
Anywho, see y'all in Discord. Oh, and if you didn't hear, I wrote an adventure for Vast Grimm that just dropped. Check it out here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/827ewjm9qsgr83q37r4zd/kill-cycle-spreads-01.pdf?rlkey=eqcj1x7tfwfk5bwnlg6w0pjgj&e=1&st=nr08purw&dl=0
Byeeeee

Hey friends,
I'm down to just the "monsters" of the book. As a way to thank you all for your continued support, I've decided to rename the original prebuilt MEK baddies after the folks in the Discord who've been active.
But what if you haven't been active? No worries, fam. Head over there now, give us a wave, and I'll add you to the list, too.
It's first come, first serve!

See you there!

Hey friends!
Just a quick update:
- All campaign doo-dads that aren't the books are ordered except the boxes. I found a new box manufacturer that I like. They're domestic, so there shouldn't be any hold-up.
- MekBorg final PDF (well, final-ish... god knows we'll find some typos) should be out before the end of the month. I'm down to just the nitty gritty bitties.
- Steel Psalm is up to bat next. I've gotta do some work for Badge Quest, but other than that, my whole writing plate for the month of December is done, so that shouldn't take too long.
- Printed copies will probably follow shortly after the Spring Festival (if you didn't know, China takes, like... a month off in January/February). I'm testing a new printer (the same one that does some of Free League's stuff), so I want to see how those samples look before I drop 6,000 more books on them, haha
Anywho, holler if you have any questions. [email protected]
OH! By the way, I just finished drafting my adventure for Brian Collin's Vast Grimm. If you backed that campaign, you should get a copy of it. And if not, I'll share it here (so long as Brian doesn't break my legs, of course).
Later!
- Dave
