The game is very interesting. I have begun playing it, and it is fun to watch the Lineage develop. I am unsure of how it will progress. I am blogging about my experience if anyone wishes to read: Blogger or RPGGeek. Three kings in so far!
...omg I was about to ask this same question and I just saw I missed it by a week and a half. (The community copies system is super appreciated, even if my timing is bad.)
I keep coming back to Lineage and dig it. Even created a new "hack" -- a worksheet that helps me log each generation faster. I've posted it here for everyone to enjoy: https://serialprizes.itch.io/family-tree-worksheet
Hello. Glad you're enjoying it. There are no hacks that I'm aware of (Epoch Edition was actually inspired by a hack of an earlier game. I'm all in favour of anyone who wants to make their own version or add-on). There is also an alternative sci-fi flavoured version of Lineage: Reign of the Star Kings
Just received my physical copy of this! What a cool book. Well done, great art, feels substantial in hand. Then all the prompts! I havent been able to play it yet, but even all the narrative hooks and world building, for any game! Nice job
Just got my physical copy, and I love it. The only thing I personally can complain about is that the pattern on one side is slightly cut off in my copy, but the paper used feels fantastic and sturdy.
Glad you like it. I agree that the decorative border on one side of some of the pages feels a little short - I think the bleed and margins have just been a few millimetres off when printed, unfortunately.
Hi. There was a field for addresses when making an order, and I've emailed everyone whose address wasn't provided. I've checked, and I do have your address.
The first batch of copies were posted yesterday, and more will go out in the next few days.
Hello! I've been a big player of Lineage ever since the first outing. Is there a possibility that community copies could be available in the future? It'd be amazing to experience this new edition for myself.
Hi. Physical copies will be available again in April, either here or at another online store. I want to get the current preorders printed and dealt with before taking on any more.
Hello. The pre-order bundle ends on 1st March, so at that point I'll be contacting everyone who pre-ordered with a survey to get their names, which will be listed as backers in the final product.
I'm planning to release a PDF version on Sunday 6th March - but it might be updated again after that date if any backers respond to the survey after then.
I'm so excited for this edition! Will there be any way for non-physical backers to receive the magic rules at any point, or will it always be physical-exclusive?
The magic rules will be a little mini-bonus for physical pre-orders only. The plan at the moment is for an extra A6 postcard with rules for a court witch

Would recommend getting a physical copy 9/10

Hi Freddybeard. Community copies have now been added. Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you so very much! I'll get to downloading right now.
Very excited to try Lineage as a newbie to solo RPGs! Is there any way I can still purchase a physical copy as well, or are they sold out?
Hi. Physical copies will be available again in April, either here or at another online store. I want to get the current preorders printed and dealt with before taking on any more.
When exactly will the PDF become available in March? On the 1st of March, the 1st Thursday or another date?

I am so glad to see a new version of this game!
Do physical backers also get a digital copy of the text or is that purchased separately?
Hello. Yes, physical backers will get access to a digital copy also...i just need to find the right button on itch!
Thank you!
