IIRC Gavin mentioned that the new manuals would not be crowdfunded. I imagine they'll be available for normal sale as well as as add-ons for the crowdfund on the demon book.
Ditto that. Recently I phoned a number of LGSs in my Canadian city and they all said there's zero chance of bringing in Necrotic Gnome books due to no distributor. I just started an OSE campaign IRL around a table without a players tome. None of my players have tablets. Not that the rules have been complex enough to need a book much, but as DM I'm missing being able to have players work independently with the tome as they build PCs post zero session.Having the new tomes would be great but I already have the individual booklets of both sets. I hope he gets a Canadian distribution hub because I'm not paying extra import duties.
