Been a little quiet on here for a while, and not for no reason. The trade situation here in the US has made pricing out the #neoncityoutlaws game Kickstarter really challenging. The bad news is that with the current state of things a box set full of goodies like DCO/Spectaculars is too costly.

The good news is that a more traditional format--hardcover and softcover books--is likely more realistic. So, after some hard thinking and conversations with manufacturers, #neoncityoutlaws will be switching to book format.

This means that certain things that previously relied on components, like the Deck of Time, will be redesigned to be less component-driven. The game will still use the 100AC System, with clear instructions for using standard d8s and d10s for advantage and challenge dice.

While this means some redesign is necessary, it also gives some of the concepts in the game more room to breathe, like advice for running the game, building out your setting, etc. Additionally, it means shorter timelines for editing, timelines, and production, so there should be no delay.

I still plan to launch the Kickstarter next month, and expect that I'll have print-on-demand card decks and other accessories available when the game launches for anyone who wants them.

Thanks to everyone for your patience, and I'm excited to get the game into folks' hands!

What with Covid and now tariffs, you've not had much luck with your KS timings! (still could be worse, you could have launched and completed 2 months ago, then you'd be mega-screwed!)
