We're closing in on the final text.
Zack and I just spent two full days re-reading Synthicide. We wentcover to cover. We're making sure the game is perfect. We found lots of little things to tweak. I think you'll love where it ends up.
Please fill out your BackerKit surveys!
The last thing going in the book is the Kickstarter credits page. However, I don't know how some of you want to be credited, so I can't finish it. Please fill out your surveys. We're at 94% completion – so close!

BackerKit update
You guys are quick. 90% of the BackerKit surveys have been completed. Awesome! We need to hit 100% before January, however, so I can lock down inventory requirements before I go to print. Keep going!
Book update
Layout is almost finished. I'm waiting on about 20 pages of content from Zack, and five more illustrations. Here's a sneak peak of the factions section:

It's been a busy few weeks. I've been tying up loose ends, finalizing vendor quotes, working on the layout with Zack… the list goes on!
Coming this week – BackerKit surveys! Keep an eye on your inbox and respond as soon as you can.
As a last little tidbit, here's a preview of how the layout is coming along:

We did it. Synthicide is funded.
Here's what will happen next:
- Zack, myself, and a few more authors will continue working on the draft
- Joe Slucher and Ian Llanas will finish the last of the illustrations
- I will make the final layout and send it to the printer
This process will take a few months, but there are things you can do in the meantime.
You can play the game!
The draft of Synthicide is available here: DriveThruRPG. An update to the draft is coming soon. Keep your eyes peeled.
You can submit feedback!
Play test information is vital. Anything you guys discover can be reported here: Play Test Form.
That's everything for now. I'll post another update when BackerKit is ready.
Only two days left!

This has been an awesome month, and I appreciate all your support! But with just a couple days left, it would be great if we could hit the first stretch goal. It's only $1,000 away!
And one more generator to share…
If you haven't seen it yet, there's now a PC generator available. Here's a short video explaining how it works:
