Now that you guys have Cultists of Cthulhu, I feel good about launching my next game, Murder Most Foul.
Murder Most Foul is a murder mystery dinner party game for four or more players. One player is the host, destined to be killed, one player is the detective, determined to solve the mystery, and everyone else is a guest, trying to commit the murder and get away with it.
Since the players commit the murder during the game, and it doesn't run off of a script, it's infinitely replayable!
And one of the ways you can commit the murder is by "poisoning" someone's food by spiking it with a hot sauce - so I teamed up with Dane Wilcox of FYM Hot Sauce to make a custom hot sauce, called Poison, for the game!
In other news more directly relevant to you guys, the first round of art for the add ons is done! That means that now I need to confirm that it's all formatted correctly, that there aren't any errors, and get a proof printed. Once that's done, it'll be time to send it out to you guys!
Guess what arrived in America!

That's right! The games are right now, as you read this, being accepted into Amazon's warehouse. I am currently formatting the spreadsheet with all your addresses on it, will be submitting it later today, and then your game should arrive very soon! I waited as long as I could on the spreadsheet to get as many of you as possible (holy cow a lot of you have moved since the campaign ended) and now the day has finally arrived!
If you filled out the form back when I sent it to you, then you are good to go and you will receive your copy of Cultists of Cthulhu in the next few days. If you didn't, send me a direct message, and I'll get yours in the mail too.
Do you live in Colorado? Come pick up your game at GenghisCon 40!

GenghisCon 40 is happening from February 16th to 19th. I'm going to have a booth there, my very first time having my own booth at a convention!
Your games should be winging their way to you by then, but if you would prefer to meet me and pick them up in person, come on by! I will be in booth 20 in the exhibition hall. I'll also have copies of Professor Pugnacious for sale, a sneak preview of Murder Most Foul, and free samples of the "Poison" hot sauce!
If you aren't in Colorado, or don't want to come to the con, then don't worry, you should be (fingers crossed, knock on wood, draw the Elder Sign, et cetera) getting your game in the mail at just about the same time.
If you do want to come by, then please comment on this update saying so, so that I don't end up sending you an extra copy by mistake! And please be sure to bring an ID or a phone logged into your kickstarter account so that I know it's you and not somebody trying to scam you out of your game.
Cheers,

IF YOU ARE AMERICAN, READ THIS

If your mailing address is in the USA, you must reply to this survey to get your game. If you do not live in the USA, please do not reply to that survey.
Earlier I said I expected American and non-American backers to get their games at the same time. As you may have noticed, non-American backers already have their copies of Cultists of Cthulhu, while Americans are still waiting. What's up with that? Well, two things. One is that the shipping to non-Americans was a lot faster than I expected, which is good! The other is that the Chinese shipping company I hired to get the games from China to the USA really dropped the ball. They split the shipment into two orders, one to go to the distributor to sell to retail, and one to go to Amazon to be sent out to you guys, and then only put the first one on the boat. It took quite a while and an enormous amount of headache and a few thousand dollars, but your games are finally headed over. I'm having the distributor hold their games and not sell them to retail until after you guys get yours, because you definitely deserve to be the first Americans to get it.
It has been a long, hard, painful journey, but it is all worth it to start hearing from non-Americans that they've got their games and are enjoying them, and soon, to be hearing the same from you.
Thank you for all your support, and please, fill out that survey.
