Last Chance
This is your last chance to update your shipping addresses or complete the backerkit survey. Shipping addresses will be locked on 7/15, and physical fulfillment will begin the following weekend. Please reach out to me on kickstarter or twitter @lestortoise if you have any questions or problems updating your address or backerkit survey.
What's Next?
Once physical fulfillment of GROK?! is complete, work will begin in earnest on supplements diving deeper into the setting, additional rules for adding "crunch" to the system, and rules for solo-play. An adventure is also in the works with William Galaini, featuring Mr. Person Hugh Mann: an academic who seeks to better understand the human condition, who just so happens to be a humanoid construct operated by a colony of shrimp (portrait below).

Print-On-Demand
Print-On-Demand is now available from DriveThruRPG!!
Some key differences between the POD and the KS Print Copies are:
DTRPG-POD is perfect bound - KS-Print is Staple Bound
The Staple Bound KS-Print will lay flat, with better readability on the inside margin.
DTRPG-POD is gloss cover - KS-Print is Matte Cover
Both covers look FANTASTIC!
DTRPG-POD is 70lb uncoated inside paper - KS-Print is 100lb Matte inside paper
Both booklets have about the same overall thickness.
Inside pages of the KS-Print feels much more substantial.
Uncoated DTRPG-POD inside pages have more subdued colors.
Pictures of the DTRPG-POD proofs are below!
KS Printing & Fulfillment
The shipment from the printers is due to arrive THIS WEEK. There are a lot of packages to assemble and ship (THANK YOU!). With the extra labor required for fulfillment and the upcoming 4th of July holiday, I expect to begin shipping KS Physical rewards in the first half of July.

Proofs
Proofs have been received from the printers, and look FANTASTIC!
A few revisions were made after receiving the proofs, and now the printer has been given approval to begin production.
If all goes well, physical rulebooks and add-ons should be shipping by the first two weeks of July.
If you haven't completed your survey yet, now is your last chance!'
In the meantime, I'd love to hear about your experience with GROK?! either on twitter @lestortoise or in the NSR Discord.

What's Next?!
Files will be going to the printers this week, with test prints to follow. After that = FULFILLMENT?!
Meanwhile, the fillable character sheet should be complete in the next few days, and a "GROK?! Compatible" logo is also in the works.
And then..

I’m anticipating having the handouts finalized in the next couple weeks, and I will send out those PDFs as soon as they’re ready.
In the meantime, Yochai Gal of Cairn fame was kind enough to give us a home within the NSR Discord Server, so feel free to stop in and talk all things GROK?!
