Skeeter had posted that he was going to post every Sunday but evidently things are close enough or hectic enough he feels otherwise.

Last file in layout now. PF and 5E complete. Still on track for physical book shipping in August. Next update will be when I know when the pdfs will be available to backers. Nothing until then.
Thanks, The Herald Frog. Where did you see this particular bit of good news? There hasn't been a Kickstarter update email yet this month.
It's in the Comments section of the KS.
If you have a question about page count, Patrick gave a fairly precise explanation of it here.

I'm proud and delighted to say the PDF has apparently been finished, awesome credit goes to those wonderful frogs and the many lovely supporters who have been so patient whilst the frogs have had to translate my peculiar words into human.
Huzzah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woo-hoo! ^^ As a backer, I'm eagerly looking forward to the final release.

Here is the latest news, and it's good news, indeed!

It's great news, but also kinda horrifying, as my "to read"-pile will grow so much with this tome that I fear for its stability. ;)

Three Pathfinder Kickstarters I've backed over the past three years are due to ship this month: Frog God's The Blight, Encounter Table Publishing/Legendary Games' Aethera Campaign Setting, and Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos for Pathfinder.
All three of them are supposed to clock in at over 500 pages each!
I'm also thinking that I'm going to use that 40% off coupon at Frog God to by a hardcopy of Razor Coast (which I already have on PDF, but haven't read extensively).
And then there's that little thing you may have heard of called the Starfinder Core Rulebook...

Same here, only that I just started reading the Bard's Gate book, have just bought some big 3pp races and class books and took part in the 7th Sea Kickstarter which got me a crazy (and growing) amount to read in my mailbox.
Oh yeah, and basically everything you mentioned except the Cthulhu Mythos book. Instead I have this huge book called "The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft" still waiting for me to lose yet another sanity check.

I've got The Blight and Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos for Pathfinder coming in, and recently picked up a couple of bundles of smaller pdfs that I've barely downloaded, much less read.
Of course, there are much worse problems to have than an embarrassment of pdf riches, but there's definitely a lot of reading coming up.
I hope to use the 40% off coupon on some of the Blight accessories that I couldn't afford during the Kickstarter.

Blight PDF has now been downloaded. :)
The Table of Contents is 15(!) pages long...

Got my copy! Not really free enough this evening to dive through it in anything resembling detail, but... knowing the Frogs, I'm sure this'll be fantastic all the same, and I'm really looking forward to getting started. XD

Good (as in evil, nasty, mind rending) stuff in there. And that just from skimming for an hour. It's going to take me days to read the whole thing.

just downloading as I write.
And now I have to go to work :(

Up periscope.
Huh. Turns out just waiting works out.
Now I suppose I need to start trawling through my mail history to see if I missed links for various supporting materials, since all I notice in my download folder is TB3. And I suppose I need to check to see what the heck I actually ordered when I backed it.
Anyway, congrats, Frogs, and congrats Richard.
Will those of us who never had a chance of being part of the Kickstarter be able to maybe get a hardcover once it's out?

You might even be able to order it now from their website, if not than when it arrives at their warehouse. That is supposed to be later this month.
You can get the PDF now, but I already tried to order the book (while getting my PDF). It was a no go. Seems it won't let you order a book they don't have in stock.

There is so much awesomeness in this book and I've read about 20 pages or so. BIG TIME kudos.

I downloaded mine on Saturday.
This thing really is 954 pages!!
It took me two hours to skim through the first half... and that's not getting to the actual adventure path!
This book is a monster. A beautiful monster.

954 total or 954 numbered?

954 total as a PDF... which, by my count, is slightly over Slumbering Tsar's 951 or so. XD

Between getting my copies of the Starfinder Core Rulebook, the Aethera Campaign Setting, and The Blight... I have a whole lot of reading ahead of me for the next several weeks!

Well, I decided to use my 40% off coupon at Frog God to get the Razor Coast hardcover (I already had the PDF).
I think I'm set for reading material until... oh, maybe 2020 or so!

My hard copy of The Blight just arrived... and I'm slightly afraid of letting it sit with my other books, lest its influence start to seep out.
(On the other hand, the packaging was excellent as usual, and the color maps are quite nice. ^^)

Nearly here. This is one of my most anticipated books in years. :)

I'm really looking forward to the hard copy. I've been plowing through the PDF on my tablet, but my bookcase is looking too stable, and something needs to go up there and keep the Northlands Saga in line.

Mine just arrived. It appears to be approximately the size of the monolith from 2001, and every bit as ominous.

IT'S HUGE! I think the postal carriers qualify for hazard pay carrying this monster around...
I got mine yesterday! And I got my copy of Razor Coast about a week ago.
What's weird (at first) is that while Razor Coast is half the page length, it weighs more. Razor Coast is in color and printed on glossy paper, which is significantly denser than the standard paper the black-and-white The Blight is printed on.
I'm glad The Blight wasn't printed in color: It would have weighed like 12 pounds!
I rather like the subtle background they did for The Blight - it probably wouldn't have worked as well in full color anyway. XD

I picked mine up last week at the main frog pond. Had a nice talk with Bill. Always a pleasure to spend some time talking with him. Thanks Bill. And the books are huge...

Did Bill send out tracking #'s ahead of delivery? Just want to make sure I didn't miss a message. Thanks!
I don't think I received tracking, but mine arrived safely the other day.
