GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Previews/Discussion

[Upper_Krust]

I just uploaded God Rules: Ascension Version 1.0 Cover A to Drivethrurpg and sent Kickstarter Backers a complimentary copy.

If you backed Cover A (the green one) at any level can you confirm you were sent the link to download and that the file looks okay. Thanks.

I just Private messaged you Akira buddy.

First thing to check is that it went into your Junk Folder.

Hi @Upper_Krust

I'm a complete noob with Kickstarter so apologies for the basic questions - this is only the 3rd item I have purchased using that platform. First two buys were hard copies delivered in the post.
I pledged for the Legendary Tier (Cover B) with an option to buy the hard copy at DriveThruRPG with a code.

Do we receive a link to download the PDF in an email you will send when you are ready with cover B?
Is that also where the code is sent (via the email) should I choose to buy a hardcopy from DriveThruRPG?

Hi @Upper_Krust

Hey AnotherGuy,

No worries amigo. While I have backed quite a few Kickstarters, this is my first time running one.

I pledged for the Legendary Tier (Cover B) with an option to buy the hard copy at DriveThruRPG with a code.

Thanks for your support.

Do we receive a link to download the PDF in an email you will send when you are ready with cover B?

Yes, that's right.

So far only the Cover A PDF is done. The others will take a day or so each.

I'm going A, C, B, because B will take the most effort, so getting the others out quicker, even though most people backed Cover B.

Is that also where the code is sent (via the email) should I choose to buy a hardcopy from DriveThruRPG?

Yes, but that will be in about 2 weeks for the hardcopy code.

Pdf version and Print version are slightly different (cover and spine are a separate file for print), the files need to be okayed by Drivethru, then I order a physical copy of each and when I look over the physical copies and check there are no printing mistakes I okay it for people to order.

Cover A PDF 29th September (yesterday)
Cover C PDF hopefully today.
Cover B PDF in a few days

All Physical copies available in a few weeks. Backers will be able to buy these at 'cost' (which is slightly less than half price).

Essentially Backers already paid the Kickstarter (ie. me) for the PDF at a slight discount. Soon they will have the option for a complimentary Physical copy, just having to pay the Print cost and Shipping.

Just realised the Sketch version is missing two illustrations. I have the artist on the case as we speak.

Sketch version is virtually finished - I have to tweak 3 Sketches in Photoshop to fit the layout (...for those keeping track, Company of Devils one spear is too long, the 9D Grand Purview Omeganian mace is on the wrong side, and the Drave's White Tentacles spell needs the background deleted to show the previous page). My fixes should only take an hour or so.

Once I get the new Sketches from the artist, we should be good to go. However, that might be tomorrow (since William is 8 hours ahead in the Philippines).

Errata: I noticed the Tables in Chapter 5 were not all properly numbered and also that some of the footers at the start of the book still said God Rules: Epic Heroes instead of God Rules: Ascension. Those errors are fixed in the sketch version and I will fix them in the Cover A PDF before the next update. Just a heads up I have seen those mistakes.

Sketch Version 1.0 is complete; I just sent out the email notification from Drivethru for all Backers of Cover C. So check your email (and sometimes it gets sent into the junk file so just double-check).

If someone can let me know if they got the email, the file downloaded okay and the PDF looks fine that would be great.

I will be away from the computer for about 1 hour, so in the event there is a problem (and there shouldn't be because I am getting used to the process now), I'll be back to fix it after that.

Note that this version has some errata fixes not yet added to the Cover A version released a few days ago. All those fixes will be implemented in Cover A Version 1.1 (released in tandem with the Print versions) and Cover B Version 1.0 (coming in a few days).

All version 1.1 PDF releases (released alongside the print versions in a few weeks) will have added Hyperlinks.

Thanks for the support and patience.

Yours sincerely,
Craig Cochrane

How can I get it? Should you send the link, or is it handled via private message? Also, when is the monster manual (big, really nasty monsters) coming out?

I can confirm that I got the PDF and, on a first skim, it looks fine.

Backers get an email when their version is ready. Title of the email should be something like "Free Digital Download from Eternity Publishing at DriveThruRPG.com". Do a search at the email connected with your kickstarter account.
