Hey Ruttigers, thanks for filling out the surveys and generously supporting the project. If anyone wants to change their address, you'll have to send us a message before we order the books later in the year.

Richard and the team continue working on the book. Here's an example of the updated layout:

Greetings Ruttigers!

We just sent all the surveys for you to finalize your pledge. You can include more add-ons and you will be asked for your address if your reward includes a physical book. The surveys are open until July 17th, then credit cards will be charged and addresses will be locked.

Thanks for helping make this great book! Richard and the crew are working on the next phases. Backerkit will likely take another 7-10 days to review the project. In the meantime, we're writing and finishing surveys.



Surveys with Pledge Manager

Around mid-June, you'll receive a survey with your Pledge Manager. This is an online portal where you can manage your pledge, choose more add-ons, and input your shipping info. We'll keep the surveys open for about three weeks for people to finalize their pledges.



Current Writing Progress

Richard is working hard on the book, and we hope to have the PDF ready by October at the latest.

Thanks for backing Ruttigers! The final countdown has begun...

There's still time to get the stretch goal! We're around 3000gp ($3000 USD) away from expanding Ruttigers Almanac. This 20-page illustrated field guide would be a great addition to the book.
