Publish ETA?

Sorry to bother folks here, but I missed learning about this Kickstarter by one day (curses!), so I’m sort of on the sidelines for now. Any idea when this will be available? Ballpark? Thanks.

If I can pile on, I’ve been avoiding Kickstarter because they don’t allow PayPal, and I’m a bit twitchy about when and where I’ll give out my credit card number online.

However, I just finally noticed the PayPal Donate button in the lower right of the website. Is there a way to get early access by giving money via the donate button? If so, what do I do? Look up the Kickstarter amount and send that amount? Is there someone I should email? Or a message I should include with the donation?

Also, in the final draft discussion thread, Alex wrote this:

Alex wrote: Player's Companion is in layout and design now. But production takes a while. I'd guess the PDFs will be available in August and the hardcovers in September.

The Domains at War Free Starter Edition and the Domains at War Backer PDFs will be available as a PDF in August. The Domains at War Kickstarter will be in September.

The preferred way to pre-order stuff outside of Kickstarter is through the Game Salute storefront, http://shop.gamesalute.com/collections/autarch. I believe that you can use PayPal via that store, and it's got a secure interface. The Player's Companion is available there for pre-order in both PDF and print. Either way you'll get access to the latest draft.

Using the Donate button on the site is less ideal because it's harder for us to keep track of orders through that route.

So, I ordered the Player’s Companion through Game Salute. Are there any other steps I need to take? Or does it all happen automagically?

We set up the latest draft to be sent automagically, but it wasn't in place for earlier orders and might not be working now - forward your receipt to support@autarch.co in either case and we'll hook you up.
