The NYT Bestselling action fantasy series Monster Hunter International comes to Savage Worlds in an all new Kickstarter!
We've been radio silent as we were heads deep in pushing forward in this project!
Expect a detailed update Saturday so you're all up to speed! Thanks for your patience as we move forward!

GenCon Game
Those of you who pledged for the GenCon game can expect to hear from us next week about dates and times of the game.
BACKERKIT
Please go in and double check your BackerKit (see the previous notes), and make sure your pledge is correct.
There've been some questions in the comments re: BackerKit and pledge levels. The best way to get an answer is reach out to Alan at [email protected] and he'll sort you out and get you fixed up if you need help. Please use the subject line: "MHI BackerKit" so the filter catches it!
Thanks!

Hey folks!
We've got a full update coming Friday, but I thought I'd show you the picture of the production proof dice we got in!
Hey folks! Alan here with a status update and some shipping information.
The last few pieces of art have been approved by Larry! We should have all the art in the next two weeks.
Steve Long has turned his writing in, so we're finalizing the rules portions so Larry can give everything the once over and we can get it to the editor!
We anticipate editing will take 2 to 3 weeks and our target is to have it to the editor by April 1st.
Our goal is to have all book and card components into layout by May 1st, with a due date of May 30th so we can get ready for printing in June!
The coins and dice have been ordered! Patches will be ordered soon.
Now for the not fun part of the update. Our primary shipper is USPS, and GKG does our own fulfillment. Shipping Rates have changed since we built the BackerKit, and the shipping rates in BackerKit had to be updated.
For US backers, it's a minimal difference (a few dollars at most.)
For International Backers, the rate increase was more significant. ($5 to $15 USD in some places.)
Gallant Knight Games has subsidized much of the cost (we're covering some of the shipping, and we're not charging for labor, material, or time like other fulfillment companies do), but shipping rates in BackerKit did have to change (or we'd have lost over $20,000 on shipping fees, which would have been severely problematic.)
Situations like this are why we don't close down shipping until closer to actual fulfillment (the vagaries of the shipping world are the single most frustrating bit of being a small publisher), but this is the only time these numbers will change in BackerKit.
If you'd like to check on your pledge and shipping, please go to THIS LINK and do so. Our goal is to lock down preorders and the BackerKit on April 1st (04/01/2018) and then charge the shipping on April 30th (04/30/2018), so there is still around five weeks before we're charging shipping.
Thanks for all your patience and support as we get this project ready to hit your hands!
- Alan, The GKG Team & Larry!
Art is moving along! We heard your comments, and we made a few tweaks!
At Gallant Knight Games our flagship line is the TinyD6 line, a minimalist, fast roleplaying game line for shorter campaigns, teaching folks roleplaying games, or convention play! There's several genres out right now, but we're currently exploring the wastelands, as we're kickstarting the next game in the TinyD6 line, while MHI moves through the production process.
We'd love it if you came and took a look at Tiny Wastelands! It's already funded, and we've unlocked a host of stretch goals!
Gallant Knight Games will be at SaltCon in Utah from Thursday through Sunday this week, so we'll be out of the office!
We'll be back next week with another update!
