You Just Never Know...

Day one and you fantastic folks made the Dark Ages dawn brighter than we ever dreamed.
You'd think after over FORTY crowdfunding campaigns—here and elsewhere—we'd know exactly how things are gonna go. You'd think we'd be calm, cool, and collected, and have everything ready weeks if not months in advance.
I hate to break the illusion, but you'd be wrong. While most of the team are cool as cucumbers, some of us...well, me... are always nervous and still making changes right at the last minute. What did we get wrong? What did we not think about? Are those graphics blurry on your screen? What can we add that will make this a no-brainer for our fans? Is the timing right? What's the "temperature" out there?
Then you launch and you hope. Today is one of those days where we seem to have got it right. We're on track for one of our biggest and best efforts ever. We knew a new Deadlands spin-off by John Goff would be exciting and fun to play, but communicating that is always the trick, and today the stars aligned because YOU made it happen. Please keep talking about the "cool factor" in this campaign so others find out about it, too!
📺 Do join us tonight at 7pm Eastern for a Launch Day Celebration livestream on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook. Bring your questions for Shane, Simon, Darrell, and maybe even Landauer. John Goff is having his teeth drilled, but wanted to pass along his appreciation for brightening his day with your enthusiastic embrace of another epic Deadlands game.
📺 And then, prepare thyself for an epic actual play of a Deadlands® Dark Ages one shot adventure featuring the gaming gang from Knights of the Smith Dinner Table! It drops at 9pm Eastern tonight on our Twitch channel.
Thanks, friends! The story of Deadlands continues!
Shane and the whole Pinnacle team
