Did all surveys go out? I didn't get one.

Ditto! Also didn't get one.

No. Smoke test now, which means a tiny percentage of backers are playtesting the survey. We hope to open all surveys today or tomorrow; it depends on the smoke test results.

Once surveys are ready, Backerkit suggests doing a "smoke test." A fraction - usually 5-10% - of backers are selected by an internal algorithm to receive the survey. They fill it out and any problems that crop up can be solved before 100% of the folks all send the same email saying "But what bout X?!"

That the smoke test is going out is very good news. Expect a 100% mailing shortly, assuming that there are no problems that are smoked out.

Thanks for the clarification!

Should we ask questions about and report problems with the survey here? The Backerkit entry for Pyramid #3/50 has the wrong cover image, for instance.

I'm not sure these quotes clear up the ambiguity that GnomesofZurich points out.

Pyramid: Dungeon Fantasy Collected is a more-or-less unedited compilation of articles from non-DF themed issues of Pyramid, vol. 3. It was released in conjunction with the original Kickstarter for the DFRPG, and is for sale now on W23.

The Pyramid Dungeon Collection that Kromm and Turhan's Bey refer to in the links above will include revised and 4e-updated articles from Pyramid, vols. 1 and 2. So is it really the same as Pyramid: The Dungeon Fantasy Collection listed in the Backertkit survey? If so, the Backerkit blurb's list of Pyramid vol. 3 numbers and its claim that "This is a direct compilation, without updates or changes" are quite misleading.

These are not the same thing at all:

• This is Pyramid: Dungeon Fantasy Collected. It is a collection of Pyramid, Volume 3 articles written for the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy series. The articles are offered "as is." The only available format is PDF, and it's what we offered as a Kickstarter add-on.
  
  
• This is all we've ever said about Pyramid Dungeon Collection. It will be a collection of Pyramid, Volume 1 & 2 articles written prior to the existence of the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy series but suitable for use with it. The articles will be significantly updated. The planned format is print, and it hasn't been associated with any Kickstarter that I know about.

I understand the confusion:

Pyramid: Dungeon Fantasy Collected
Pyramid Dungeon Collection

We probably could have chosen better titles. But they're not the same beast at all.
