Package status and August preview
🕑 Added 2018-07-21 14:24:53 +0000 UTC Hello everyone and happy... Saturday?! It's time for an update!Packages
The loooooong overdue April packages are working their way out. We actually started shipping a handful yesterday. If you were a supporter as of April 1, 2018, you will be getting a package. If you joined later, don’t worry because May packages are going to be right behind them. The last item for May is about a week behind this one... and the last item for June is about a week behind that. So that leaves us with July, which may just be a week behind June if all goes well over the next few days.
WHEW! We’ve caught up quite a bit, and it’s all hitting our mailbox at once.
But we’re less than 2 weeks away from August, so we need to start worrying about that AND September AND October…. it can be maddening at times. :)
$20 supporters, keep an eye out for your wallet game selection message to follow this.
A quick note on Lazer Battlefield.
Everything for April was in except for the $10+ level Lazer Battlefield rules. They required another few days due to a proofing issue. Everything is resolved now, but we didn't want to wait, so we started shipping the first batch out without the rules. If you don't have them in your package, the rules will come in the next package (which is right around the corner).
If you want to get a head start playing the game, the rules are posted here:

August Packages
As we get caught up, we should have these previews out earlier than this. But we're at the tail end of the backlog before moving onto the new stuff.
In August we are looking at Timestamp: The Middle of Nowhen, Banned Books: Guy, and Legends of Dsyx: Derelict Dirigible all at our $5 level.
At the $10 level we bring in a fast-paced 2 player realtime chase game, Adder by Marty Cobb.
And then at $20 we have an all new wallet game, Potions Class by Owen Wokasch (or any wallet game of your choice from our library).
If you aren’t a $20 subscriber and you are interested in getting Potions Class, it’s going up for sale on Tuesday (and you can use your discount). We will post more about it on Tuesday, but the quick description is that it's a family friendly game of light set collection, with an explosive touch of press your luck. It was also designed by a 9 year old, which makes our second wallet game designed by a kid (the first was Launchtime) and I believe our 4th game total (Dwarf Invasion, Flip The Bottle).
Gen Can't Design Contest
And just a quick note that our Gen Can't Design Contest is in the judging stage, where we will pick a winner that will eventually be published as part of our wallet line. I have a few favorites in there and can't say that I'm going to only be able to pick one. :)
Keep an eye here for the winner announcement in the next 2 weeks.
Thanks everyone! Catch up with you soon!

Lazer Battlefield rules were printed as far as I know. If you don't have a physical copy and would like one, email me at buttonshysupport@gmail.com with your Patreon name and "missing Lazer Battlefield Rules" and we'll get you a copy.

Did the rules for Lazer Battlefield ever make it? I never did see that in a future package.

There is a digital copy in the BGOTMC Dropbox Folder. Enjoy!

I didn’t get the rules for Lazer Battlefield in any of my packages. Can I still get a copy, please?

I just got the $r pledge and am waiting patiently waiting. Will there be a way to get previous Banned Books characters?

I tried to go to the lazer battlefield link for the solo play. The page appears to be blank.
