Welcome to Arkham 1692

If you have the Season Pass, I've just sent you Arkham 1692 by Kathryn Jenkins. It includes both the setting and a mystery to play, The Doors Beyond Time.
You'll notice some extras. First, I've added beautiful text ornaments by Nathan Paoletta, which will appear throughout the book. Second, there are instructions for playing all the Cthulhu Dark scenarios as a mini-campaign. You might remember that this was a stretch goal we didn't achieve, but I wanted it to happen in some form, so I've added some quick instructions as a sidebar.
I'd love to know what you think of Arkham 1692, especially if you play The Doors Beyond Time. If you find mistakes, there's still time to correct them before we publish. Send me your thoughts, corrections and comments to [email protected].
Thanks for getting the Season Pass! Next up, you'll get Helen Gould's beautiful and atmospheric Jaiwo 2017, together with the mystery The Curse of the Zimba.

This is me emerging from the darkness - well, from the room where I'm editing Cthulhu Dark - to tell you three important things.
Important Thing One: If you haven't signed up for BackerKit, do it now, because I need to send you stuff! If you've lost your BackerKit email, you can get another one here.
http://cthulhudark.backerkit.com/
Important Thing Two: If you check your BackerKit account, you'll find the Cthulhu Dark Zero PDF, the same one as before. You'll also find George Cotronis' beautiful cover.
If you're waiting to order the print version of Cthulhu Dark Zero...well, yes, it's taken a while, but it's happening. There was a minor error with a proof, so I want to make sure that's fixed before everyone orders it. (If you backed at a very high-level, I've sent you a complimentary print copy of Cthulhu Dark Zero, which is all part of making sure that everything's okay. That should arrive shortly.)
Important Thing Three: If you've got the Season Pass, I'll send you Arkham 1692 in the next few days. You'll then get Jaiwo 2017 and Mumbai 2037 as soon as I finish them. That'll be soon, I think, since the editing is going very well.
If you haven't got the Season Pass, you should totally get one. I mean, I'm biased, but you should. It means you'll get Arkham in the next few days, then lots of other stuff in the next few weeks. If you'd like one, go to your BackerKit account: you can either upgrade your pledge or order it as an add-on.
Now, back to editing Cthulhu Dark. It's going really well. I'm excited to share it with you.

Next week, I'll send you a survey from BackerKit, which I'm using to fulfill Cthulhu Dark.
Please fill it in! Everything I send you from now on, digital and physical, will come via BackerKit. I really need your details on the system.
I hope you're enjoying Cthulhu Dark Zero. Keep sending me any corrections and comments at [email protected].
And, for those of you on the Season Pass, Arkham 1692 arrives very, very soon.
What happens now

I hope you're enjoying Cthulhu Dark Zero. I'd love your feedback, whether it's quick thoughts or detailed editing notes. It really helps me. Send me a message on Kickstarter or email me at [email protected].
This is what happens now.
I'll get working and finish the book. As I do this, I'll send occasional updates when there's something to say, about once a month. If you have the Season Pass, you'll get something about once a month too.
If there are any problems, at any point, get in touch. I'm responsive to messages and I'll sort any issues out. Again, you can send me a message on Kickstarter or email me on [email protected].
Above all, I want you to know that I'm working hard to make this book as good as I can.
Finally, I wanted to spread the love and point you towards other Kickstarters. If you like simple mechanics that drive the story, try Clink, a coin-based game about Wild West drifters. If you like cosmic horror, try Robin D Laws' The Yellow King Roleplaying Game. And, if you like maverick designers with unusual and brilliant games, try Hannah Schaffer's
Damn the Man, Save The Music.
I'll get to work now. If you need me, you know where I am.

Check your email! If you backed at the Digital level or above, you should have a download link for the Cthulhu Dark Zero PDF.
If you don't have an email or if there are any problems, then:
- Check your spam folder.
- Check the Drivethrurpg.com website is actually up. It's been flaky this weekend.
- Contact me, either at [email protected] or by sending me a message on Kickstarter.
And this is a general rule: whenever there are problems, contact me and I'll sort them out. I'm really responsive to emails and messages. Get in touch.
Later, I'll add a print option to Cthulhu Dark Zero and I'll add the cover too.
On Monday, I'll get in touch again and tell you what happens next, including the Season Pass and the final book. For now, enjoy the book.
