Drinking with Skeletons

I want to say that I'm in agreement that I would like to mix and match the challenges without being locked into Expert Mode and Path of the Damned. As much as I love the Pillars games, I'm fundamentally not hardcore enough for PotD, but do think that some of the challenges (like Eothas' Challenge and Galawain's Challenge) sound interesting and manageable.

I haven't seen any information on this, so please correct me if I've missed it, but is there any timeline for when physical rewards from the campaign will be mailed out? I added the Guidebook Vol. 2 to my pledge and the shipping status is still "pending." I also do not have access to the digital soundtrack, but I assume that just hasn't been finished yet.

I'm having a major bug that I haven't seen reported elsewhere. I have a waiting level up on Eder and Xoti. I can level up Xoti just fine, but when I finish the process for Eder, the screen goes black and never returns to normal. The cursor looks like the in-game cursor and the music continues to play, but nothing appears. I have to use Task Manager to close the game. This occurs regardless of whether I level Eder first or second. I'm going to experiment a bit more with it, but it has happened every time for about half a dozen reloads. I have attached my dxdiag file, but cannot upload my save for some reason. DxDiag.txt
