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.

News from the Ruttigers Guild!

Five days to go! We're about 5000gp ($5000 USD) from the first stretch goal. Richard and the crew are continuing to promote the book and have emails going out to thousands of potential backers this week.



You can now add extra books!

Due to popular demand, we've added the option for extra hardcover or softcover copies as add-ons during the funding phase. See the Add-ons section.

Greeting Ruttigers! Thanks for coming on this journey!

We're excited to have reached the funding goal and are ready for the final week of the campaign. With a stretch goal or two, we can make this book even better. 

Richard recently visited with the guys on Fireball the Gazebo on YouTube, and we have the video link below. You can also check out the updated Quick Start Rules booklet on the campaign page. 

Our first Stretch Goal is a 20-page Illustrated Field Guide added to the book!
