Have there been significant changes from the ones sent out to backers?

Same ones! In fact, give us a tad, and we will get all backers the same links as everyone else.

Appreciated, but I was more referring to any editing? That's not me being passive-aggressive, I haven't noticed anything, I just want to know if I need to redownload.

Even just skimming it I can see this is an amazing batch of stuff. It's got everything from generic NPC stat blocks to rules for cup holders! There's so much amazing art, too, wow. I can't wait to really dig in!

Likely no changes - if there are any, they will be very, very minor (like formatting tweaks rather than text changes).

so, needing to pick and choose which one I get since i'm poor. But I was gonna ask a question if anyone can give me a one sentence synop of the following articles to help me decide: Volume 15: High Guard: Beyond Jump-6, and volume 16:
Charted Space: Extending the Computer into the Crew and Charted Space: Project Steel. It will help me decide which one to buy first.

Hi @MongooseMatt, any chance of this still happening? Not that I haven't been happy with the KS volumes, but last time we backers also got our volumes through a monolithic KSJTAS2 bundle at DriveThru that never got updated further once all volumes were in there. Meaning they never got to the same version of the equivalent commercially available pdfs when those latter were updated in the great Apple-update wave... (and for the record, to this day the KS bundle versions still aren't updated btw). Your customer dep peeps managed to help me out by giving me complementary links to the commercial versions when I raised this through a CS mail (for which my unending thanks of course), but would be a lot easier if we wouldn't have to constantly keep tabs on whether our backer copies are up to date or not versus the commercial releases.

It took you a week or two to hear back? lol

The hit or miss nature of Kickstarter rewards on Drive Through is why I take advantage of Mongoose’s offer to email them and have my Kickstarter rewards added to my downloads on their site.

You do this during the kickstarter or after the rewards are delivered on DT? Might also consider starting doing that tbh

Neither am I! Just look at the joke I made! lol

Once the rewards go on sale. The first time around, I just bought the pdfs because I was so dissatisfied with the lack of updates on Drive Through, but for the ones after, I've emailed them and asked to have the rewards put into my files after they've gone on sale. I sent a screen capture of my backer info to validate.
