You’re welcome
I saw the video and Dave walked two people through the step-by-step process of creating their own characters with the guided method, and also clarified at some point that the constructed method is literally just the guided method without the dice-rolling, which I already suspected. It's as in-depth as they possibly could've gone into character creation without just straight-up giving us the rules, which I'm now even more excited for!
An update about stuff

Glad to hear it! I did another session with podcasters that’s included in today’s update as well.
There’s an archetype called “Modular” that covers heroes like Bunker and Muerto. It’s… complicated. But the text under Modular walks you through the whole thing step-by-step.
Ah. I can’t wait to give it a read.
Gonna have to… the wait is… trying… no, not right…
Cue Carly Simon’s Anticipation
With A little over a week left on the campaign, where does everyone think we're gonna end up with funding ammount?
The amount has steadily been going up, so I think the current streatch goal(Sentinels of Freedom Prelude One-shot) is very likely. And with the '48 hour wave' yet to come, I think we have a good shot to get to the Dark Watch Source book. Depending on what comes after that though, I'm not sure how much farther we'll go. Has to be something REALLY good to get that final push to 350K.
If 250K is reached before the last 48 hours I’m optimistic it will reach 300K. My expectation with where it stands now is 275K

We’re gonna have quite the number of ways to access blank character sheets, aren’t we? First the big ol’ pad of empty character sheets, and now a pdf.
Makes me all the more eager to get my hands on the character creation rules…
I'm a big proponent of providing form-fillable character sheets for rpgs in general, though in this case, it makes me question the worth of providing a pad of 100 sheets.
I mean, I can go to my work-printer right now and print a whole ream of character sheets for nothing. Is having a pad of sheets really worth the shipping/logistical cost associated with them, when the same content is available print-on-demand for free?
Honestly I don't mind the pad. Some people just don't have free access to a printer(Most of my friends and playgroup included, and I have to be careful about not being too obvious when I print things at work), so a pad like that would be a very neat thing in my situation.
I don't know the logistics of it but I'm fairly certain after all they learned from the OblivAeon KS, GTG isn't going to do anything that they can forsee will turn into a logistic/shipping nightmare for them.
I usually use digital character sheets to handle the calculations that are often needed, but SCRPG doesn't really have those. :-) So when we play, we'll likely use the pads for simplicity.
*nods* I can see the utility of them, don't get me wrong. It just seems like a lot of shipping weight and expense for something that's being given away for free.
Well they're bundling it into the GM Kit, so I'm guessing the cost is covered by it?
The GM Kit is $40. How is that “being given away for free”?
I think they mean that the marginal cost of the pad of sheets being added to the GM Kit is probably pretty small. Something like that is probably relatively cheap, especially compared to special-printed stuff like the 4-fold screen and the dry-erase cards.
As in, the very same sheets are available as a PDF and can be printed out at your leisure for relatively free.
Why would I want to pay for those sheets as part of a $40 GM kit, when I can already print off as many as I’d want, at minimal expense? Fully realizing, of course, that there are other items in the GMs kit that may make it worth the $40 price tag.
Lots of people don't have access to "relatively free" printing. I know tons of people who don't own printers, or only own black and white printers but like fully colored game materials.
I also know many people who refuse to steal resources from their employers.
You are making a lot of assumptions about what resources people have access to and what people value.
