Street Wolves: Turbo Edition Kickstarter Late Pledge Pre-order

Update 17: Monthly Progress Update and News
7 days ago – Sat, Nov 16, 2024 at 09:45:17 AM

We don't have as big of an update as last time, but we have a couple of noteworthy items, so let's do this!

Street Wolves Physical Book Status

I've been waiting on bated breath for news on the printing status/shipment info of the book for the last month. I've now heard that the books could likely get to me the first week or so of December. We were targeting getting them end of November to start fulfillment in December, but overall we're still on track with the original estimate of sending the books out in December. It'll just be a week or two later than we were hoping for. If anything changes, I'll keep you posted. Thank you for your patience! 

Locking Addresses: We're waiting until we get official notice that they're being shipped to us. Once we get that, we'll lock addresses with a final notice, meaning you'll get an email letting you know your address is about to lock and that you have 48 hours to update it if you need to.  

Vehicle and Pet Sheets

The Vehicle and Pet sheets are now available in Backerkit! They've also been packaged up with the pdfs of Street Wolves on itch.io and Drive Thru RPG. That means you can either get them from your Backerkit rewards or just get a new copy if you've chosen to have the game fulfilled on Drive Thru/itch. 

Fulfillment Issues Reminder

A Reminder: If you've experienced some sort of issue with digital fulfillment, please send a dm through Kickstarter or an email to tablecatgames [at] gmail [dot] com. It's much easier to track the issue in dms/email and I may require account details you probably don't want to share in public.

PAX Unplugged

I'll be at PAX Unplugged in Philadelphia. I'm not running a booth or anything, just roaming around. If you happen to see a guy wearing Street Wolves/Table Cat Games/Wicked Forever King Hungers t-shirt, there's a 99.9% chance it's me, so please say hi!

Update 16: Progress, fulfillment updates, and an announcement!
25 days ago – Mon, Oct 28, 2024 at 03:56:23 PM

Hello all! I had this update sitting in my drafts folder ready to go and then a few big things happened in quick succession. Now that I've had time to sit down and catch up, we've got a big update!

The Physical Proofs

The first proof of Street Wolves arrived in the last week. It was in an unbound book form, so all the pages were there, but not trimmed and the cover was just thin paper. This was cool and all and I was going to update the Kickstarter with this but then...

 I was notified that the final proof was on it's way and blam it arrived today, hot off the presses. The turn around on this was really fast. It looks great so far though and I can't wait for you to get it.

I need to go through it just to make sure there's nothing majorly wrong and then once it's approved the printer can print all the copies! 

But that's not all!

Adventure #1 is Available

The other thing that happened between updates was testing, editing, and formatting the first of the two free adventures. And it's out now. Christian Nommay's "Push the Button" has the Street Wolves uncovering a dastardly plot and racing to stop it in time. 

It's  available in your Backerkit rewards right now (if you backed at PDF tier and above). 

It's a timed exclusive to the Kickstarter, so it's not going to be on Drive Thru or Itch for awhile (it'll likely show up in a collection further down the road). 

NPC Cards fulfilled

Just FYI: Everyone who ordered the PDF and POD versions of the NPC cards should have gotten them on Drive Thru RPG!

Introducing: Monster Truckers

While we're gearing up for fulfillment of Street Wolves, we must plan for the future! That's why we're excited to announce our next game which is crowdfunding early next year: Monster Truckers: Long Haul into the Worstlands.

Players step into the role of classic monster types (vampires, werewolves, etc), get behind the wheel of big rigs, and explore the mysterious and often dangerous post apocalyptic Worstlands. See weird things! Discover strange places! Fight terrible creatures and foes! And avoid the undead Highway Patrol!  There's also a journaling component in the form of a log book, and you are encouraged to map your journey. And use the CB radio.

The game's rules are based on Tricube Tales system by Zadmar Games. Tricube Tales is a rules light, D6 system played by a GM and players that encourages exciting storytelling and fast and exciting exploration and combat. If you'd like to read a bit more about the mechanics and world building check out this blog post.

Follow the project on Backerkit and get a free sticker! That's right, if you follow the pre-launch page and back at a physical reward level at launch, you'll get a sticker.

Thank you everyone for your support. We're looking forward to fulfilling Street Wolves and making great games in the future. 

Update 15: Catching Up!
about 2 months ago – Fri, Sep 27, 2024 at 07:35:41 AM

After a whirlwind few weeks, it's time to take a look at where we are with Street Wolves: Turbo Edition! 

Street Wolves: Turbo Edition 

Print Edition

The final print files have been sent off to our print partner! We've been going through the approval process and have had a couple of hiccups, but we're close to getting everything all set for the book to go into production. 

PDF Edition

There's not much new going with the digital edition*, if you haven't downloaded it, please check it out. And if you like it, please consider leaving a review on Drive Thru RPG or itch.io. It really helps us out!

*One exception being a few names were added to the thank yous, and a couple of fixes that will appear in a future update.

Fulfillment Issues

If you've experienced some sort of issue with digital fulfillment, please send a dm through Kickstarter or an email to tablecatgames [at] gmail [dot] com. It's much easier to track the issue in dms/email and I may require account details you probably don't want to share in public. 

Fulfilling outside of Backerkit's digital downloads (to Drive Thru RPG, and itch.io) is a bit tricky and I've had to do some work arounds to do it. So, if you filled out your survey and your payment went through and you haven't gotten your copy on Drive Thru or itch, just message me, I will hook you up! 

Other Rewards

Foundry Module

The Foundry Module got it'sTurbo Edition upgrade! It's now on v1.1. It has the updated data along with a bunch of new art. I also added the six Jumpstart characters as playable PCs along with their token art. 

Please let me know if you experience any issues with it. There were some reports of installation issues before the update , but that was fixed in a hotfix and the update has tested well so far. 

NPC Cards

We got the proofs of the physical versions of the cards in hand, and they look amazing. We're now trying to slot some time for fulfillment. Hopefully we can get those Drive Thru credits to you soon!

Adventures

I got Christian Nommay's adventure in! I'm going to play test it and then I'lll have to do some layout on it before I can release it. While you wait, check out his Savage Worlds setting Titan Effect if you haven't, it's great!

For Dead Hand and the other adventure, I've talked to the writers and there's work going on in the background, but nothing big enough to report at the moment. Things are happening! The wheels are in motion! 

Point of No Return (for Legacy Backers) is currently on the docket for a winter release. I'd like to get the two bonus adventures out first. 

Merch Rewards

Most of the merch stuff is ready or in a semi-ready state (i.e. we have a lot of the stuff to make it, but just have to do more production). The biggest exception are the buttons. I am going to be starting on working on those soon. Once they're fully designed it shouldn't be too difficult to get them made, because we have a button maker and churn them out pretty fast.

Legacy Backers

If you are a Legacy Backer and haven't contacted me with proof of purchase (tablecatgames [at] gmail dot com), you've unfortunately missed deadline for special credit in the print edition. BUT there's still time to get that upgrade in future versions! And for you to get your NPC cards and free adventure when they're ready.

Note: You might be wondering why we're not specific about dates. Table Cats is basically one person (and 3 cats). We are juggling multiple  things (including a day job) and don't want to put a date out that we can't make. So we work on the stuff until we get a better idea to be able to set a target. Thanks for your patience and understanding! 

And That's a Wrap for Now

Oh before you go, have you listened to the Street Wolves Turbo EP yet? J Strautman did an excellent job. Here's the first song with some clips of art:

Update 14: Digital Fulfillment!
3 months ago – Tue, Sep 03, 2024 at 06:52:41 AM

After a whirlwind weekend, Street Wolves: Turbo Edition (pdf) and a couple of the extras are available. Here's what's been fulfilled and where:

• Street Wolves Turbo Edition PDF: On Backerkit, Drive Thru RPG, and itch.io
• Street Wolves Turbo EP (music): On Backerkit, Drive Thru RPG
• Street Wolves Foundry VTT: On Drive Thru RPG

IF YOU DID NOT GET YOUR COPY OR ARE MISSING SOMETHING: There's a few reasons for missing stuff, including surveys issues and missed payments on the shipping/add-ons. Or I could have messed up! But the good news is if there's any issues, or have a question just message me through Kickstarter or at tablecatgames [at] gmail [dot] com and I'll fix you right up!

Okay, this was just a short update to give you a heads up about the current state of fulfillment. We'll have a future update with more details as we progress on making more Street Wolves stuff!

Update 13: Orders locking, Digital Fulfillment, and Surveys
3 months ago – Fri, Aug 30, 2024 at 06:18:31 AM

It's update time! We've had a lot going on and a lot of things are in motion, so we thought we'd send another update to keep you in in the loop.

Orders Locking Soon

If you filled out your survey, you should have already gotten an email from Backerkit notifying you that in 48 hours your orders will be locked, so if you want to add anything or alter your order you can still do so until the deadline.

After orders are locked, you can still change your shipping info. Shipping info will be locked much closer to fulfillment time.

Surveys

There are still 34 people that haven't filled out their survey. If that's you, you've missed the deadline to guarantee your name will be in the printed book. But more importantly, you won't get the stuff you've purchased if you don't fill out the survey. Get on it! Please!

The Digital Book Release

After you order is locked, your card will be charged for shipping and any additional add-ons, and theTurbo Edition pdf will be available in Backerkit for you. Hopefully we can get Drive Thru RPG and itch.io fulfillment done the same day, but if not it will be very shortly thereafter. 

Other Updates

The Book

Street Wolves: Turbo Edition is done! I also updated the Street Wolves: Player's Guide, which is included with the core book and is a more condensed form of Street Wolves that you can give to players (primarily for making characters).

Book Blank: A to Z Media sent me a blank book as part of the printing process. This book is blank, but it reflects all the printing selections we made such as the paper type and cover lamination. This thing feels great in hand. The pages are a bit thicker and should hold up to extensive gaming/reading.  

Music

The music is done! The songs include loopable extended versions to run for however long you need as your Street Wolves race, investigate, or fight their way through adventures.  

The Street Wolves: Turbo EP will be in your Backerkit downloads after your order is locked and your card is charged. 

It'll be also be available through Table Cat Games publishing account on Drive Thru RPG thanks to the composer J. Strautman. The files include mp3 files and super high quality wav files if you really enjoy high fidelity music. So just a warning, the WAV download is pretty big! 

The Backerkit version only includes MP3s. Uploading the full thing there causes it to stall out, so it's not possible to offer the wav files through Backerkit. Also we are unable to offer the tunes on itch.io due to their lack of royalty sharing on that platform. 

NPC Cards

We've uploaded the cards to Drive Thru RPG, but we can't fulfill them yet until we have a printed proof set in hand, which we hope is coming soon. The bad news is that if you're getting them POD and having them shipped to you, the price for shipping on Drive Thru RPG is fairly high, which we have no control over. This is disappointing to us, but is something that it is out of our hands. 

What's Next?

After the book goes out the digital door, we're going to be scheduling what's next on deck for rewards. 

TCG In Person

If you happen to live in or near Milwaukee, WI, Table Cat Games is going to have a booth at The Awkward Nerd Book fair on Sunday, September 22. If you go, please stop by and say hi!

Important Upcoming Dates

• 9/1/24: Surveys locked and cards are charged.
• 9/1/24 (Projected): Street Wolves: Turbo Edition pdf and Street Wolves music are fulfilled. 
• December (Projected): Street Wolves: Turbo Edition and physical rewards arrive at your door.
