Just a quick note to let everyone know Zeta Complex Backerkit is now live and about half of you have already completed your surveys. Thank you.
If you did NOT get your backerkit link, please let us know and we can help you out.
If you have friends that want to jump in and get the book, or even the PDF, please share this link with them: https://zeta-complex.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
The more people that get the book and play the game, the more it will spread and the more material will be put out for it. This game has the potential to be huge. But it has to start here.
Until next time, keep on gaming. --Ben

We are so excited that the books are finally starting to wrap up.
The main book should be going to print next week, and the module right afterwards. The volunteers are finding some minor formatting issues but overall everyone is really liking it. The module has been finished and it is now in their hands as well.
We are still waiting on the final touches on the maps and the last couple of art pieces.
Everything else has been ordered and should be here soon.
The Backerkit has been setup and approved, we want to go through the shipping prices for Europe one more time as we just got a new update on that pricing.
After that we will be launching the smoke test. If you do get one, please get it done as soon as you can, and let us know if you see any problems.
Thank you guys so much for all your support.

We are already into 2023, what a great month December was for us. We hope you had a great holiday.
We made a real push and have a great update to pass on to you. We expect to be done with the core book tomorrow!! and are looking for 2-3 people who want a sneak peak at what you are getting and give it a good read through. We are not looking for re-writes, we are looking for spelling, minor grammar, silly mistakes (like putting in the same thing twice), etc.. And we would need this done in about 10 days.
The book is right at 100 pages in length, but lots of images, etc.. If you are interested, please send me an email to [email protected] and we can talk.
For now, here is the breakdown:
- Writing: 100% complete - Writing for the main book is done.
- Editing: 100% complete - Editing for the main book is done.
- Main Art: 80% complete. We are still wanting 2 more, he is committed to getting them done.
- Secondary Art: 100% complete
- Cartography: 75% complete
- Layout: 95% complete
- Module: Latest Technology - Writing 100% complete, in editors hand now, starting layouts tomorrow.
- Module: Virus (will be in the book) - 100% complete
At our current rate we expect to be completely done this month and ready for the printers.
Here is the latest art piece by Metal Robot, we hope you like it as much as we do.
We will keep you up to date, but we should start working on Backerkit this week as well, and will announce as soon as it launches. Until then, keep on gaming. --Ben

Another month has passed and things are churning along great. We are still ahead of schedule and very happy with the progress. The area of concern, cartography, has been remedied and we are back on schedule. We have hired Manda, who has worked on several other RPG products and it always looks great. We are very happy with what we've seen so far from her.
Here is the most current progress of the book.
- Writing: 93% complete - Book is done, working on the Appendix sections now.
- Editing: 62% complete - Editor has completed through chapter 8 and is working on 9.
- Main Art: 50% complete
- Secondary Art: 100% complete
- Cartography: 30% complete
- Layout: 50% complete
- Module: Latest Technology - 50% complete
- Module: Virus (will be in the book) - 100% complete
At our current rate we expect to be completely done by the end of January and ready for the printers, but we are hoping to make a huge push this month. We play tested the system and the module Virus at Long Con this month and things went great. Players and I had so much fun. No permanent deaths but we did have 14 clones activated out of 6 players.
Here is the latest art piece by Metal Robot, we hope you like it as much as we do.
Until next time, keep on Gaming --Ben

We are now 2 months into the production of the book, and things are moving great. We are still ahead of schedule and very happy with the progress. We do have a couple small areas of concern, but do not expect them to lead to delays.
We have someone who has volunteered her great mind to help with the book and has been an inspiration during this last month. She played at Reaper Con and wanted to help bring this product to life. She is going to be my Chaos Consultant, Vicky Guarnieri. She has a great background in gaming with both Paranoia and Cyber punk and is proving an invaluable resource.
Here is the most current progress of the book.
- Writing: 90% complete
- Editing: 35% complete - Editor has completed through chapter 4 and is working on 5.
- Main Art: 30% complete
- Secondary Art: 90% complete
