That include people who uped their pledge? I don’t want to cut in line if my wave of surveys hasn’t meant to be sent out yet.
yes, by that comment, the only char surveys that should be ongoing are the explicit char buy options. Everything else should be through.

  I' am little concern about what going on in China at the moment with Corona Virus. I know it hurting China in the pocket book right now. I have been getting minis from Kids Logic which is based out of Hong Kong for last 4 to 5 months now. The latest new from them is that everyone working from home at the moment. So the question is how much of a delay are we looking at because of the Virus out break? I know that Kids Logic said that there going to be some delay in shipping because there no one in the warehouse to do the packing and shipping. Gov ordered to stay home. So that problem right now. China is getting hit hard here and they losing a lot money in the process. I hope thing get better of over there.

To be perfectly honest, if it comes down to a choice where one option is people not dying, I'll pick the people not dying. My minis can wait.

Since it seemed to be possible, i ended up switching my dice and coin from Jade Falcons to Nova Cats.
I have hard time sticking to a single thing...

I reckon PMs get locked completely at some point, that is no more edits whatsoever?

I have some friends who work in supply chain management for hardware companies, and they point out that these delays are happening day-by-day and they're completely dependent on local conditions.  From that previous delay update, it sounded like the minis were the only critical path item; everything else can handle some delays.  So it depends on where those minis are being made, and we have no idea.  Then we have to hope that the hub that all the Wave 1 items go to is healthy whenever that occurs... and not backlogged because they weren't shipping but other cities were still making stuff that was going to go through there.  Could very easily happen, and it'd be a tiny drop in a bucket among all the crappiness of this little epidemic.

Shenzhen is seeing a lot of factory closures (or factories remaining closed after Chinese New Year was supposed to be over) and that's a colossal manufacturing center.  But as far as we know, those measures are working outside of Wuhan, where it's still pretty awful.

This was about 75% of the reason I gave up my custom character for credit.

PM them through Kickstarter; just reply to their early PMs that they used to send out Dropbox links for digital content.

Millenium Edition...

Loving the Hatchetman.  Is that a connection to the hatchet to help swing it under the right arm?
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Jadefalke Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr!

Yeah, looks like a hinge to allow it to swing under the arm and out of the way when the pilot wants to use the hand for other purposes.

the contact option on the kickstarter page should still work. that DM system is the main contact for the ks and anything related to it.
That said, I don't know how the DM system looks like on the creator side, e.g., if messages are sorted by backer status, which might lead to a longer turn around time.

I was thinking either that or some sort of counterweight or backstop.
