Wow, so my book won the first Genesys Foundry Spotlight! So much gratitude, which I'll expound on in a ridiculously long post below (but stay until the end for a special prize!)

So Ready....Fight! (my first book on Genesys Foundry) has had a **** of a week! Between earning the Electrum sales metal last Monday to earning the first Spotlight article from FFG yesterday, there's just been a huge outpouring of support and love for the book that I can't appreciate enough.
So a big huge thank-you to everyone who picked up Ready....Fight!, and an even bigger one to those who rated, reviewed, and passed along good word of mouth about the book.
And, of course, the book wasn't a solo venture, so huge thanks again to my team who helped make the book better at every stage of development. Sean Vrabel 's art, Ryan Brooks' layout, and Peter Thompson 's Rumble City map have the book looking even better than I could have ever imagined it in my head. And of course Alyx Ross and her army of playtesters for all the valuable feedback and hard work! Not to mention all of Alyx's hard work on Twitter promoting the book!
Of course the book wouldn't exist without the initial work of Jay Little , the Fallout hack of FFG Star Wars by Phil Maiewski , the Genesys Core Rulebook from Sam Gregor-Stewart and the entire team that worked on that, and Tim Huckelbery , for shepherding the Foundry program through launch. All four of you are awesome!
I've also gotten loads of help from two Genesys podcasts, like The Forge (shout out to Ian Houlihan and Chris Witt ) and Finding The Narrative ( Tony Azzmodeus Fanning , Stephen Dragonspawn, and Chris Holmes) for having me on, promoting the book, and just generally saying all sorts of nice things about it, and referencing it in several episodes since its release.
It's really humbling to have the top selling product through the first three months of the program launch, and hit a lot of these milestones, especially considering how many other great products came out at launch and have released since.
There are a lot of great books on the Foundry right now, and even better, they're made by good people, people I have bothered incessantly for the past few months. They all have incredible products on the Foundry (which you should all buy immediately). Of particular help were Scott Zumwalt , Chris Hunt , John Dunn , Sterling Hershey , Darren West , GM Phil, GM Hooly, and Brett Bowen (and I'm certain I forgot several more). Your support, and just being able to bounce ideas off you all and draw on your experiences in similar programs from the past was invaluable. It's made the whole experience feel far more collaborative than competitive, and I look forward to next month when it's one of you getting the Spotlight.
Regarding the future of Ready....Fight!
I plan to keep supporting the book from now until at least August with a metric ton of stand-alone adversaries for the various settings in the book (Lucas Hankiao is already up!). And if we hit Gold before August, I'll explore one of the settings in a spin-off product! So keep telling your friends, and sharing your stories of getting Ready....Fight! on the table!
And also, in celebration of all this, I'm giving away 50 copies of the Lucas Hankiao adversary for Ready....Fight! The first 50 people to visit can download a copy for free! Use the link below (it should work) to get the special discounted price!)
