Hi Rival Networks backer,
This is your final reminder that I am closing pre-orders and add-ons for The Rival Networks BackerKit in about 24 hours. At that point, you won't be able to add items to or remove items from your order, and I will be charging your credit card.
Important: if you did not order anything in BackerKit, you won't be charged anything! Cards are only being charged for add-ons and pre-orders made in BackerKit.
I will not be locking addresses tomorrow. You'll still have about 6-8 weeks to change your address. I'm only locking orders and charging them.
Thanks!
Reminder about BackerKit closing soon, and join me at AwSHUX this weekend!

Hi backer, just a reminder that the BackerKit campaign is closing soon!
I've had some questions from folks about what this means, so here are two quick points.
- If your address has not changed since you filled out the BackerKit survey, you don't need update anything. It's never a bad idea to double-check your address, of course!
- Your credit card will only be charged in BackerKit if you purchased anything in BackerKit.
Specifically, what's going to happen is that I will lock orders on November 1, and charge cards on November 3. Addresses will continue to be editable for about 6 weeks after that.
We're looking at fulfillment in January or February of 2021. I'm sorry that we missed the December 2020 estimate, but I'm grateful that this campaign wasn't as disrupted by COVID-19 and other global events to the extent that it could have.
I'm exhibiting at AwSHUX right now! We're playing The Rival Networks today and tomorrow at 2 pm EDT.
Please come by and say hello!
The game looks great, and I can't wait to get it to you all!
BackerKit closes at the end of October!

Hi Rival Networks backer! A quick but important update...
I wanted to let you know that the Rival Networks BackerKit will close at the end of October. At that point, I'll close the pre-order store, lock addresses, and charge your credit cards.
You're free to change your address and order quantities until then.
We have almost all our files submitted to the manufacturer. Proofs coming soon!
Files getting sent to the printer!

Hi folks! Thanks for your patience during this whole COVID weirdness. I hope you're all as healthy as possible.
Here's the almost-done rulebook for Rival Networks! We just have to finish up the appendix at the end, and we'll be all set.
One thing that I'm liking are the punchboards. Here are a couple of them; note the Ratings Points tokens. These go on your Shows that get Ratings Points from Network Cards or Genre Bonuses. It's a nice way to keep track in case anything gets bumped.
The Show Cards are all done! I've shown you a bunch already, so here are some from the Documentaries & Game Shows module we unlocked.
The Stars are all done! I won't put all of them here, so here are just a couple to whet your appetite:
And finally, a few Ads!
I'm looking forward to getting all these files sent over!

Hi folks! Just a quick update that Heiko has the rulebook to Rival Networks right now. We should have it done in the next couple of weeks. I'd like to post it when we're done if you'd like to check it out, and then we'll be sending it to the manufacturer.
Also, if you see me "wandering" around Gen Con in a few weeks (in the virtual sense, of course) I'd be happy to play a game of Rival Networks with you!
We're in the process of updating the Tabletopia implementation of The Rival Networks; we should have that and the Tabletop Simulator version of the game up by then.
Things are pretty slow right now, but they are moving! I appreciate your patience as we move this thing along.
