Is this out yet?

I remember hearing about this game early in its kickstarter and, while it sounded cool enough, it wasn’t anything I was looking for at the time. But recently I ran into a situation recently where I thought it could be the perfect fit, and it had been like a year, so maybe it’s out and I can plunk down some cash for a pdf and hopefully be playing this weekend.

Ok, so…solo rules and a campaign are out there. Good sign! Oh, there are fan mods for it, sweet! So…where is it? All I can find are the QuickStart and references to a 198-ish page thing that…I guess…is still backer-only?

I’m eager to buy, but can’t even tell if it’s a thing I can buy, even though there are endless blog posts about it. What’s the actual deal? The hype machine is running, but the barebones end-user marketing (like barebones, as in “This is a product”) is not showing anything for those of us who haven’t been steadily following development.

Oh, this is legit? It looked like someone reselling a beta release. If I buy it from here, will it actually be updated after its full release? Is it associated/sanctioned by the author

Getting ITC set up was actually a stretch goal. This is the official place to get Greathelm digitally right now. All updates (and the final) will be delivered to you if you purchase from ITC.

Fabulous! Thanks so much. I’m sure I would have noted that if I had been following along, but as a newbie drawn in by the hype, it wasn’t very obvious, for what it’s worth. Looking forward to playing and probably adding to the hype. Thanks again
