Ok, so maybe it is Nimble: Second Edition…

I've fought it for as long as I can, but I think you all may be right 😅. While I didn't intend on this "reprint" growing to become a full on Second Edition, enough changes and improvements have accumulated that I think… it does warrant the new title.

Free Upgrades

That said, this Kickstarter was pitched as a simple reprint and expansion. I set up the pledge tiers with the goal in mind that backers would not need to repurchase their existing books and I want to honor that. Existing backers have already been sent the updated digital files, but I wanted to go a bit further than that. 

For anyone who has backed the Expansion Boxed Set, you will be upgraded to the Complete Boxed Set for free. You'll get everything you originally pledged for, plus print copies of the Second Edition Core Rules, Game Master's Guide, and Core Heroes.

To not leave out anyone who backed the Complete Boxed Set or at the All In tier, I wanted to show my gratitude by giving you an extra copy of each of the Core and Expansion Heroes, so you can more easily have 2 of the same hero at your table without them needing to share as well as an extra copy of the Core Rules book for easier referencing at the table (and to keep their grubby mitts off your Special Edition books!).

Build Your Own Bundlers will get whatever single upgrade that is reasonably closest to what is listed above.

I never intended for this to become a Second Edition, but it has, and I want to do right by the community that has supported and encouraged me so much. Thank you all for your patience, your faith in this project, and your continued support.

You don't need to do anything to get these freebies, there is no additional shipping, no additional steps needed from your end. This free upgrade will apply automatically for any backers locked in before December 31st of this year.

The pledge manager will be open through the end of the year if you need to make any adjustments to your pledge (note that if you already selected some of these freebies as addons, you can adjust your pledge and use that value as credit for something else if you want).

Progress Update

The updated Core Rules are done and in final review. Likewise with the updated Game Master's Guide, all of the core heroes, AND all of the expansion heroes. They're available for playtesting and final rounds of feedback before they are sent off to the printer.

This month I am focused on doing a second pass on the Monsters & More book. I'm estimating that I should be done with it by the end of this month, then I'll be wrapping up all the other bits & bobs and am planning on delivering the final digital files next month (though, as ever, that is my best guess and is subject to change—but I am working night and day to deliver the best possible game in the shortest!).

After that, everything is in the hands of the manufacturer, the shipping companies, and the fulfillment companies. If we're lucky we might begin fulfillment in Q1, more realistically we're looking at Q2. Thank you all for your patience as this project has grown and evolved over this year. I think it'll definitely be worth it in terms of quality.
