Wait on Filling Your Survey if You are in EU / UK

Hi folks,
Surveys are out after what seemed like a successful smoke test, but minutes after sending the full survey it appears I've calculated VAT wrong for digital backers. If you are in the EU or UK and are a digital only backer, hold off on filling out your surveys until I can correct this with BackerKit's team. If you are outside of that area you should be good to complete your survey.
Surveys Coming Soon: Smoke Tests are Out

We are ready to open up the pledge manager, folks. We'll be using BackerKit, and your surveys will go out soon. In fact, some of you will be receiving them this evening. This is part of a "smoke test," which involves us sending surveys to around 5 percent of backers to check for errors and generally see how things are going. Don't panic if you don't get an e-mail yet, the rest will come soon.
Assuming all is well with the smoke test, we expect to have the full survey out this weekend. We'll have more information about the beta test at that time, too. Thanks again for your support!
November Update: Public Playtest is Coming

Hello friends,
As it stands, the adventure is finished and has gone through two different rounds of playtesting. After discussing things with our author Randall Right, we both agreed that offering a public playtest before we finalize things for print would be a good way to nail down any final issues while also giving those of you who want to participate a chance to get a playthrough in early.
We aren't quite ready to release the playtest document, as we are stilling taking into account feedback from the previous round of testing. When we do, I'll link our discord where you can grab the documents and provide us with any feedback you might have. the more feedback we get, the better!
What else is new? For starters, the cartography for the book was just submitted for review! We are in the process of reviewing that now, but we expect to have the maps finalized in short order. Keep an eye out for our next update as we make the public playtest available.
The Almanac of Allies
Scoundrel Game Labs is closing out the year with a final Kickstarter campaign, and it might be of interest to solo D&D players. The Almanac of Allies is currently live on Kickstarter, and the book provides 30 well-balanced, easy to use sidekicks for D&D 5E. These are more than just stat blocks, as our allies scale from levels 1 to 20 along with your player characters. They include lots of lore, quest hooks, and even some new magic items. what's more, they are easy to use and simple to level, making it possible to run alongside your own PC without issue.

Hey friends,
Brief update to say thank you for the support! We are currently fine-tuning the book and will start final playtesting during the last stretch of the campaign. I'll also be updating the campaign FAQ based on the questions we've been getting over the last few days. We're excited to get this in your hands!
New Scoundrel Game Labs Logo
This isn't directly related to the project, but I'm excited to share the new logo for Scoundrel Game labs. Let us know what you think!
Other Projects We Love
Our friend Jeff has a new project that is wrapping up in a few days!
Weapons of Legend is a 5E supplement containing 80 magical weapons to add to your game.
Progression Rules. 40 of these weapons have progression rules, allowing a character to acquire the weapon early in their adventuring career and watch it progress in power as they complete tasks, finish quests, or as they gain experience.
Traditional Magic Weapons. The book also includes 40 traditional magical weapons which do not progress.
