Glorious cabal,
Today I'm going to clear up some confusion about how the preorders work and how the digital files are distributed.
We handle all preorders through BackerKit. This is the best option for you to get Unknown Armies 3 before retail (unless your retailer was a Merchant backer - hi Merchants!). Using BackerKit, you can select which items to order, from digital editions of the books to printed Deluxe Sets to dice. Unlike the Kickstarter backer rewards, none of these are packaged bundles. This means that if you place an order for a Deluxe Set through BackerKit, you won't get any of the PDFs or the UA3 musick or other bonus items. If you want those, you need to add them individually. We're sorry this has been confusing!
For those backers who are expecting digital rewards, such as the PDF/ePub/MOBI files, the UA3 musick suites, and (down the road) the PDF Resources, those will appear in your Digital Downloads tab under your BackerKit profile. If you preordered a digital item, it will also be here, but again, if you only preordered physical books, your Digital Downloads folder will be empty.
I hope this clarifies things for all of you! As always, you can contact me with questions or concerns at the crowdfund AT atlas-games DOT com address, or leave a message here on KickStarter or below this update. We'll try to get back to you within 48 hours or as soon as we can.
Cheers,
Cam and the UA3 production team
Beloved cabal,
We've just released the soundtrack to Unknown Armies as composed and arranged by James Semple in the form of three cycles of musick to all backers at the $99 Checker level and above, as well as those who included them as add-ons or pre-orders. They can be found in your Digital Downloads folder on your BackerKit profiles.
It is an understatement to say that these compositions are magnificently creepy and heartbreakingly appropriate to the many thematic elements of this game, and we owe James a deep debt of gratitude for putting them together for us.
From soulful twangy guitars to moody cello and suspenseful electronic synth tunes, the Musick for Unknown Armies has it all. We hope you enjoy it.
Note: For those who weren't able to include it or add it on to their pledges, or are otherwise unable to pick these up now, we do plan to release them widely by appropriate vendors and outlets.
Best to all of you,
Cam and the Unknown Armies production team
Beloved cabal,
Here in the Grand Nation of our Founding Fathers we are about to commence the annual Great Rite of consumption, giving thanks to our ascended masters for their beneficent blessings and various terrors visited upon us year-round. It's also time for an update.
This is it, they're all done. Well, mostly. A couple of tiny last minute in-house proofs remain, but today is the day Book One: Play, Book Two: Run, Book Three: Reveal, and the slipcase (with GM screen) all go off to press. Enormous gratitude to our UA3 production team members Thomas Deeny, Colleen Riley, Aaron Acevedo, Jeff Tidball, and avatar #333 himself John Nephew for getting us to this milestone. Our "Create a Third Edition of Unknown Armies" objective is at around 90%, so maybe Greg should roll the dice for it now.
We got our glorious dice in from Q-Workshop. We are very thankful for them. Anyone who is expecting dice from the Kickstarter or from add-ons or pre-orders is being sent those dice beginning next Monday. That's right — before you even get the books, we're shipping the dice to you. Everywhere in the world.
Your dice set includes 2 each of red, blue, and purple dice. Here's a picture.
There's a long wait while we get the books printed, but in that time you can expect to see more news about Book Four and Book Five, the Campaign Starter Kits, and other goodies. More importantly, at least in the short term, a package of excellent digital editions of the core books (in PDF, MOBI, and ePub) is next on designer Thomas Deeny's list. We hope to have those to you before the year is out.
And, as always, we are incredibly thankful to all of you, our backers, our beloved cabal, whose generosity and enthusiasm got us here. Have a wonderful holiday if you're one of our Stateside backers, and if not, know that we are grateful to all of you for supporting Unknown Armies the way that you do.
Best,
Cam and the UA3 production team
