Hooray! The text is done! Kickstarter backers and people who pre-ordered through this site now should have received the final rules text a couple of days ago.*

The courses I was teaching this summer have just wrapped up, so as soon as I dig myself out of marking hell I'll be able to get to the last few tasks to wrap everything up nicely and put Strike! on sale for real. I'm excited!


*Well, a couple of sharp-eyed readers have caught some grammar errors and such, so I'll be fixing those and in that sense it's not FINAL. But there won't be any substantial changes, and I'm certainly not going back in and looking to make more work for myself. The only changes at this point will be mistakes that other people catch.

Well, the proofreading is agonizing, but it will be done any day now. Obviously with the new baby and with my summer teaching (and my two other kids, who still take up way more time than the baby), there hasn't been much time in July, as I knew there would not be. But I am still finding small chunks here and there to finish this up little by little. That's why there have been so few updates: in the amount of time it takes me to write this post, I could have proofread the Defender. So rather than go on at length, I'll just tell you the plan and then get back to the grind.

The plan is that I will finish proofreading, then I will drop everything into a document to release to all the backers and pre-orderers. Then my loyal fans can catch all the mistakes I missed in proofreading while we get it into a nice layout (I wish). When? My best guess is this weekend, since usually Fridays are very good for getting work time.
