SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Does anyone know when the pdfs are due to be available?

I backed the kickstarter, and was going to make this my next campaign. I thought that the pdfs would be available when the backerkit site went live, but that seems to not be the case. Now I'm not sure if I should wait or go ahead and start something else.

So this is loosely based around OSR rules?
I would have used something entirely different than classes and levels I think, since it looks more fairy-tale like.
Looks nice though.

Not even loosely.  It's about 80% B/X with a few AD&Disms like separating race & class, though he offers race as class as an option.  From the preview, if you know B/X and/or AD&D, you can learn this game in minutes.  Gavin shifted gears a bit due to the OGL fiasco, but he's a B/X fan at heart so it was never going to stray too far from those roots.

In the Kickstarter update dated Sep 9, they said the early release pdfs would go out in about a month. So I'd assume any day now. Someone asked the same question in the KS comments a few days ago, but hasn't been answered yet. I know from backing Gavin's Patreon for awhile that he did have the books quite close to completion, so I don't think it will take them too long.
Klytus, I'm bored. What plaything can you offer me today?

An obscure body in the S-K System, Your Majesty. The inhabitants refer to it as the planet... "Earth".

They just released the PDFs for the player's book and character sheet in BackerKit today.

I missed the deadline for the KS due to having to exercise some fiscal discipline.  I can't wait until this thing is released. I am dying to sink my teeth into it.

Reading all the available material about it, it's essentially OSE with a couple of tweaks.  The differences are centered around classes and races.  I am to understand you can run this ignoring the internal mechanics and use OSE or any other of your favorite OSR clones.

Terrible idea, overwhelming majority of ttrpg players can't pass Voight-Kampff test.

Why wasn't this moved to the kickstarter thread where it belongs? ???
TTRPGs are just games. Friends are forever.
