A couple of folks (including myself) have posted the question about the non-physical aspects of this KS - the seven Pathologies which were pushed towards the end of the KS as well as the 'Scoured to the Bone' Novella - on the Kickstarter Campaign page but there's been no word about them since September (if not before)... it would be good to know, especially as I am about to launch into my Levee campaign, a couple of things:
a) What are the Pathologies going to be? Titles, synopses, whatever...
b) When can we expect to see them?Also, having read and enjoyed 'Crooked', I'd like that second slice of twisted fiction from Mr Pett. Does anyone have any insight as to what is planned for these 'treats'?
I'll get the answer to your question, Zesdead. I'll post in reply here and on the KS page about them.

I didn't forget about this, I just haven't gotten the final list yet.

Any chance of seeing that list and / or a schedule soon? It'd be good to know what we have left to look forwards to - and from the point of view of having started to run the Levee, where I might stitch these new pieces into the adventure.
I am going to come over a bit negative here, and for that I am sorry - especially as the Blight is such a wonderful piece of work (the main book, the modules and the bestiary are all fine books), but I do feel quite let down by Frog God Games - obviously the delays to the books are well-documented and, to be honest, totally understandable - good things, after all, come to those who wait.
It's more the way that FGG seem to have walked away from the KS now... there are folks asking questions in the Campaign and, despite logging into KS and running Rappan Athuk / 5E book campaigns during the last months, no-one from FGG has bothered to reply to anything on the Blight Campaign... and there is no way they should consider the campaign closed yet.
On a more personal level, I'm also going to gripe here about the way in which the books were despatched... I don't know whether it is because the books are larger than anything they've sent before but my books were badly damaged in transit due entirely to inadequate packaging... to be fair, when I highlighted this, I was sent replacement books and had them (in the UK!!!) within the week. Sadly they were equally damaged (what do you expect when it is the same packaging - with corners that are only protected from the outside environment by sellotape and a few prayers to Orcus)... I'd have complained again but I didn't have the heart to ask Frog God to send a third book out - so yeah, I get Scratch and Dent books for 250 dollars... thanks. Reading through various comments on the KS and on messageboards, I'm not sure I'm the only one either...
So yeah, I'm still looking forward to seeing what we might get from the Pathologies... but backing Frog God stuff in the future? I'd take some convincing... and that is pretty sad given how exciting this campaign started out...
Once the KS has finished and posted out, there is no real reason for the creators to pour over the comments, so I disagree with you on that. There are other ways of engagement, basically you should be using the forum if you have post - KS questions. A KS comments page is not good at all for any discussion - can't even edit.
Sorry to hear about your books though, mine made it fine all the way to NZ. But I'd encourage you to go FGG forums for questions about the campaign, the KS comments are now quite irrelevant once the KS has finished and fulfilled.

Point taken about using the FGG forum but I'm kinda loathe to post there as it doesn't seem all that active whereas I know FGG do frequent here... and as to whether this campaign has fulfilled, I kinda disagree with you - there are 21 dollars worth of pdf's still due to us plus the free novella... sure, the main book is out - but for those of us who went all in, and helped push this campaign to big numbers, we're still waiting on stuff...

The FGG forum is definitely a better choice for information about anything including the uncompleted KS The Blight. I'm basically the one tasked with watching the forum, KS, and Paizo and Enworld. But Sqd Cdr Flashheart is correct that I don't watch KS that have sent out the main purpose of the KS. I've notified the Powers-that-be as to your question.

You make a fair point, Zesdead. I would ask that you email zach@froggodgames.com about the books and let him know how the second shipment was damaged as well. We will fix that for you. Also, I have complained about the packaging as well and I believe that is going to change. I don't like bent corners either.
As for the list, I haven't gotten the final yet. I hold myself accountable for not getting back here to make sure you knew that it wasn't because I wasn't trying. I wasn't involved in The Blight until it was time for the 5E work so I don't have visibility into the Pathologies as they were system neutral. I do try to read the Paizo forums as much as possible but I do miss things. Jerry does a great job of funneling issues to Zach and me but I do drop the ball at times.
I'll get back with definite word but it likely won't be till after the Christmas holiday. Thanks for your patience.

Apologies if I came over a bit grumpy!!! Maybe a little bit of the Blight's corruption wormed itself into my soul and festered somewhat... it'd be good to know what is coming down the track with regards to the Pathologies and I do find it a bit strange that, after wrangling the beast that is the main book, the status of these seven small pieces is so hazy... but it's good to hear someone is on it... same for Scoured to the Bone, that's something everyone should be getting - and if it encourages folks to go out and buy Richard Pett's Crooked then that's a great thing...
As to the damaged books, I'll contact Zach but I feel guilty asking again and cutting out whatever profit the Frogs are making on this adventure... plus, if the packaging is the same then I'll probably end up with a third set of bent books!!!

Also, for those folks who have enjoyed the Blight but don't watch the main page anymore... I thought I'd relay this missive from your horrible author...
Hello chums
I'm afraid I can't answer any of the questions on delivery, scoured is done and with the frogs but as for delivery I'm afraid I can't answer that one. I can say it's nasty though. I noticed over at Paizo and here that there are still a few questions coming up. In terms of the campaign and ap just to let you wonderful people know if you have any questions I'm still regularly watching these boards and the ones over at Paizo in case of questions, I have a set of new draft adventure outlines laid out on my PC for future use one way or another and I'm hoping 2018 will see some of those come to light. The support you've given the Blight is awesome and I want to make sure that her dirty streets continue to fester and grow so they can drag you in and never let go.
Huzzah!

Z,
Thanks for the repost! Ultra excited!
Bill will be posting to the Kickstarter about the Pathologies in the next few days. Keep an eye out.

Awesome... what a way to start the New Year!!!
So, the main book for the Blight is really great at providing both player-friendly maps / GM marked maps for the overall city map and for the various encounters within the Adventure Path... but I was wondering whether anyone had a solution for displaying player friendly maps for the various district level maps - I've spent a few hours, with a clunky software package, erasing the labels from the Festival map... and now, thinking about running the 'Crooked Nail', I'm dreading having to do the same for the Artist's Quarter!!!
