Only a few more days remain for the Skyway Robbery campaign. This has been a real challenge. I'm still very much in love with this game and still really want to see it published. Just looking back, I've appeared on 16 podcasts and done 3 written interviews. We got 6 major reviews (all quite positive--some embarrassingly so!). We had at least 4 or 5 people construct the print-and-play version of the game and talk about it in various places. Finally, I did a local event Saturday which was attended by around ten people.
There is still a bit of time to turn things around and hit our goal. The 48-hour reminder notices will be going out soon to loads of potential backers. Kickstarters are weird creatures, and unexpected things can happen quickly. If you are still trying to decide whether or not to jump in, now is the time! Not every Kickstarter project can boast 350+ backers and $20K in pledges, so we have certainly done some things right. Help us finish the campaign! Thanks.

Skyway Robbery at (Almost) 60%
Time for another blog update. Skyway Robbery is right at 60% funded! We are on track to be successful if we keep at it just a while longer--10 days to be exact! That may seem like a short time, but it's fully one-third of the campaign. A lot can (and will, I believe) happen in the next few days--and I'd like you to be a part of it!
In game terms, we have reached the mysterious Underwater Museum of Volmare. It takes a hardy crew to break into this place and steal the giant pearl. Well done!
Please help us find those last few backers as we near the finish line. Here are some of the most recent media appearances and reviews:

Little Metal Dog Show: http://littlemetaldog.com/2014/09/12/episode-81-skyway-jabbery/
I will also be doing a local demo here in Cincinnati this Saturday!
Let your friends know about these items and the project itself. Help us get a bit more exposure on BGG by thumbing the pics and commenting. Thanks for your support!

Skyway Robbery Already 40% Funded!
Time for a quick Skyway Robbery update here on the blog. After only eight days, we have reached 40% of our funding goal! That's like busting into the Glacier Research Facility and nabbing the Power Crystal!
We have plenty of time to finish out the campaign--but only if you will continue to help us by sharing the updates and links. We also need more activity on the BoardGameGeek page. Give some thumbs to all the game images and feel free to dive into the forums. We need a few more eyes on our beautiful art and fantastic gameplay! You can see my latest media appearances toward the bottom of the Kickstarter page.
Also, be sure to spread the word about the reduced shipping costs for backers in Canada and the EU! It took some behind-the-scenes scrambling, but the team came through for us. Grab one of these stylish profile avatars before you head out, and stay tuned for the daring assault on another highly fortified location when we hit the next milestone!
FUN FACT: The first version of the Extreme Explorer card featured a polar bear with a heart over its head in the background!
Oh, yeah. In other news, Fidelitas closed out at 327% of our goal--nearly $40K!!!!! Thanks to Jason for running a textbook campaign and to all the backers for making it happen!
