First things first, thank you to everybody who backed Ground to Dust! I know it takes a kind of leap of faith to invest in a new game idea when there are already so many brilliant games out there. I am looking forward to bringing this to life and getting it into your hands!

We crossed the mark for the Scenario Expansion stretch goal, too! I can't wait to show you all the possibilities capable with the system! This also means that the Joey Royale scenario Dankest of Deaths will be released upon the world!

So what’s next?

ThePledge Manager will be sent out as soon as it is approved on Backerkit's end.

Writing/Editing - The game and scenarios are written, and will continue to be tightened up as we put the zines together
Art/Graphic Design - Everyday more art is arriving to my inbox, and I think everyone is going to be blown away by the incredible pieces that Belt&Bone has been creating! 

We are on track to have everything wrapped up and shipped out by August.

Thank you again for coming on this journey with us, and stay tuned for the next update in March!
