Hello C20 backers!
RichT here:
All the messages containing your links for the discounted Print on Demand (PoD) version of Changeling 20 have been sent out.
These discounts are only for backers who backed a Reward Tier that includes a discounted PoD version of Changeling 20. These versions are NOT the Deluxe Versions that were the point of our Kickstarter, but Print on Demand versions that do not have the Deluxe covers or other special features, and which you can choose to order or not from DTRPG. We just provide you with a discount in case you want a physical version of Changeling 20 to use now, and without worrying about ruining your Deluxe.
Because we were able to discover any problems with the printer files while making the PoD files, we are now able to send our book files to our traditional printer who is making the Deluxe versions of C20. They will process those files, send us proofs, and we will approve or request changes. Then they will print the interior pages, the endpapers, and do what they need to do to create the cover.
Then they will gild the outside of the pages, and then combine the three parts and the bookmarks and we'll have some deluxes.
Then will come shipping.
So in terms of the Deluxes, we have awhile to go, so keep an eye on our Updates Updates of the stages as the pieces come together.
Thanks!

Hello Changeling 20th backers!
RichT here:
We're setting up the Changeling: The Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition traditional printing files right now, and then we'll start the manufacturing/printing process for the creation of your Deluxe books.
The PoDs are almost ready for sale on DriveThruRPG.com (the PoD printer had some issues with our first upload to their servers so we had to go through the PoD proofing process again) along with the final PDFs, and any backer whose Reward Tier contains a discount for a PoD book will be sent that discount link.
These PoD copies are not the Deluxe books you pledged for, but are hardcover, color versions that you can choose to order at a discount if you want to. We offer this option because we know some backers want a version to play with while their C20 Deluxe can be kept safe from those little accidents at the gaming table we all have.
Also, some backers don't want to wait for the Deluxe versions to go through the manufacturing and shipping processes, which will take multiple months, and want a book version right now.
And just a note, if you have questions about your pledge or rewards, the very best way to get answers is to click on my name or picture over there on the top right, and use the Contact Me link on the creator page.
And here is our list of ongoing projects from this KS:
First Draft (The first phase of a project that is about the work being done by writers, not dev prep):
- C20 Novel (Jackie Cassada) (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Redlines:
- Kithbook Boggans (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) - not actually sitting in redlines all this time, a writer dropped and the project is catching up.
Editing:
- C20 Ready Made Characters (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Art Direction:
- C20 Ready Made Characters (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) (Yep, books are often in Editing and Art Direction at the same time.)
- Book of Freeholds (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) (Sorry, I jumped the gun last month and thought this was already in Layout. Mea Culpa.)

Hello C20 Backers!
RichT here:
A couple of minutes ago, I activated the links for the C20 Jumpstart PDF Stretch Goal reward (formerly called the C20 Quickstart during the KS).
If you have not been notified as to your links on BackerKit (this is a BackerKit and not a Kickstarter message) please first check that you pledged to a Reward Tier that includes the C20 Core Rulebook PDF, and then please check your email and SPAM folders. Then, please contact BackerKit Customer Service to see if they can help you - they're awesome!
If your link doesn't click to link you, you may need to copy and paste it into your browser. Also, you should be able to find the link in your Digital Downloads section on your C20 BackerKit page.
Since we are using our partners at DriveThruRPG as the host for this, you may need to set up a DriveThru account if you don't have one already. While you set it up, I suggest that you allow DTRPG to send you updates of any files downloaded. That way, when we tweak the file for any reason to improve it, you'll be notified and can download the newer version for free. I have been assured that allowing this does not put you on a spamming list from them.
If you encounter any problems with downloading your rewards, please contact DTRPG's customer service to resolve the matter, they've always been top-rated for customer service.
This C20 Jumpstart PDF is finished, but it doesn't hurt to get several thousand pairs of eyes on it. Please give your input on any errata you may find within the book to this thread on our forums which is where we’ll be exclusively gathering corrections: http://forum.theonyxpath.com/forum/main-category/main-forum/the-classic-world-of-darkness/changeling-the-dreaming/1123873-c20-jumpstart-errata
We will update the PDF with any corrections needed, and you'll be able to re-download the PDF via your DTRPG Library. We'll then take the final files and create the physical book PoD files so we can offer both the PDF and PoD on DTRPG.
Thanks for your support and enjoy your C20 Jumpstart PDF!

Hello C20 backers!
RichT here:
We're setting up the Changeling: The Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition PoD files right now, which allows us to test the interior layout files before sending them to press for the creation of your Deluxe books.
The PoDs will then be made ready for sale on DriveThruRPG.com along with the final PDFs, and any backer whose Reward Tier contains a discount for a PoD book will be sent that discount link.
These PoD copies are not the Deluxe books you pledged for, but are hardcover, color versions that you can choose to order at a discount if you want to. We offer this option because we know some backers want a version to play with while their C20 Deluxe can be kept safe from those little accidents at the gaming table we all have.

And here is our list of ongoing projects from this KS:
First Draft (The first phase of a project that is about the work being done by writers, not dev prep):
- C20 Novel (Jackie Cassada) (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Redlines:
- Kithbook Boggans (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) - not actually sitting in redlines all this time, a writer dropped and the project is catching up.
Layout:
- Book of Freeholds (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition)
Proofing:
- C20 Jumpstart (Changeling: the Dreaming 20th Anniversary Edition) - At WW for approvals
Finally, here is some info on our current Kickstarter project:
A new book of historical Dark Eras, intended for the Chronicles of Darkness, but designed to be fascinating reading regardless of your gaming interests. Each Era features two different game lines. We started the book with six Dark Eras, and backers have already unlocked a seventh - the Golden Age of Piracy!
Most importantly, backers are currently voting on which one of three other Eras to include in the book when the next Stretch Goal is met. Come on over and join in the fun:
