BackerKit lockdown MONDAY as Wrestlenomicon hits the high seas

The printer is preparing to load all of this project's rewards onto the freighter that will bring WRESTLENOMICON to our warehouses in Tennessee and the UK. Once it arrives, it ships to you.
That means it is time to lock down and process pledges and preorders.
Please log in to confirm your information at BackerKit, particularly your mailing address and your payment method:
We'll lock it all down next Monday morning Pacific time, 11 AUG 2020.
Meanwhile, the titles on the bookcase to my left today rearranged themselves as if in a dream that was not a dream, the top letter of each spine forming uneven words from a dozen different typefaces: THE CALL OF CTHULHU PART III. Which is, I think—and please forgive me if I mistake or if I succumb to hubris—certain thoughtforms that congeal and curdle in Carcosa demanding that I remind every backer of the time that Great Cthulhu got his ass kicked by a boat.
The awful squid-head with writhing feelers came nearly up to the bowsprit of the sturdy yacht, but Johansen drove on relentlessly. There was a bursting as of an exploding bladder, a slushy nastiness as of a cloven sunfish, a stench as of a thousand opened graves, and a sound that the chronicler would not put on paper. For an instant the ship was befouled by an acrid and blinding green cloud, and then there was only a venomous seething astern; where—God in heaven!—the scattered plasticity of that nameless sky-spawn was nebulously recombining in its hateful original form, whilst its distance widened every second as the Alert gained impetus from its mounting steam.

Wrestlenomicon writhes and slimes its way to freedom

Manufacturing proceeds. Our splungy card game of the Great Old Ones squicking and huning each other is nearly finished at the printer and soon begins its journey aboard an unsuspecting freighter. It will roil along Pacific tradeways that drift placidly north of the oceanic pole of inaccessibility, that distant and empty zone long used as a spaceship graveyard by nations who know not what they might raise up in apocalyptic irritability by dumping spent rockets on the head of Great Cthulhu while He is trying to sleep.
Prototypes!

Manufacturer prototypes arrived for the Wrestlenomicon core game, the WrestlenomiconBonus Cards box, and the Wrestlenomicon playmat. Join us for our first look. Behold my epic plastic-cutting skills!
We also got dice prototypes just this morning, so they're not in the video but they are right here...
Little "three-sided" dice and larger six-siders.
The materials look and feel fantastic. We're asking the manufacturer to increase the size of the core game box a little so it has room for the bonus cards if you want to put everything in one place. That won't take long to sort out. We're still on track for August delivery.

A Kickstarter-exclusive set of 10 Servitor cards (5 Deep Ones for Cthulhu and 5 of the Dead for Hastur) will be mailed exclusively to "Servitor of the Old One" and "Willing Sacrifice" backers.
A Bonus Deck!
A deck of bonus cards comes in its own tuckbox. It includes 25 new Cthulhu cards and 25 new Hastur cards.

The bonus deck will be shipped to all "Willing Sacrifice" backers as part of their rewards. It will be available for purchase by everyone else after that.
Shutdown Risks
At this time we do not expect delivery to be hampered by coronavirus shutdowns. That may change, of course, if necessary for the health of our friends and colleagues who run our warehouses.
Thank you SO much for your patience and support. We are beyond thrilled to finally see Wrestlenomicon heading your way!
