Our fantasy partners at Draft Kings have been supporting Hail to the Victors since their main marketing guy helped us Kickstart the 2012 edition.

In 2013 he bought a bunch of the books off of us and gave them out to anyone who deposited at least the amount it cost the Kickstarter backers.

Last year they asked if they could just hand us money to keep making it, and I was like "can I tell people you gave us money?" and apparently this is called a sponsorship so they're sponsors. And they bought a bunch of books to give out again. As for this year…

They're the Sponsors Again!

Yay! But seriously I'm sure you've seen stuff for this daily fantasy sports website popping up all over the place lately, and we're very lucky that the people in charge of that are longtime and earnest fans of this site.

And They're Giving Out Free (kinda) HTTVs!

So once again if you missed the Kickstart you can still get this year's book basically for the Kickstart price by depositing $15 or more with them. (Or if you just want the digital edition—it's a PDF—deposit $5 or more).

The nice part for you is if you blow through that deposit, at worst you got a copy of a book you were buying anyway minus the shipping cost. But, like, it's a deposit; if you make money you got a free copy of HTTV, and you get money.

(The nice part for us is we get money if you do this.)

How this works:

1. You take the link we provided: LINK FOR BOOK or LINK FOR DIGITAL

2. You create an account using an email address that isn't associated with a Draft Kings account already.

3. You deposit $15 or more (for a full book) or $5 or more (for just a digital copy).

4. Within 24 hours I'll email you to say you get a book and ask for your address (if you don't hear from me or another MGostaffer within a day email me at [my name]@mgoblog.com

The books will be mailed out in batches so the sooner you act the sooner the book comes.

Caveats:

1. Gotta be a new user. They're looking for people who haven't tried out their games before, so if you're already in you're out of luck.

2. Gotta be in the U.S. (otherwise shipping's a nightmare). If you're from AZ, IA, LA, MT, or WA—i.e. states with prize laws—contact [email protected] to address that first.

3. Gotta be 18 (or 19 in Alabama or Nebraska).

What About the Kickstarter Books?

FAQ!

The final version has been approved at the printer so now we wait for them to physically print it. Make sure you sent us your address (just doing the Kickstarter isn't enough).

You should be getting your digital copies in your inboxes starting today. It's a 12mb PDF file but I have a lower-resolution 5mb one if you desire to put it on a Kindle or something that cares about hard drive space.

What if I find all this confusing and just want to pre-order a copy?

Go to the MGoStore! It's $15 plus about $5 for shipping depending on where you are.
