I know that the other novellas are reserved for the higher tiers, but I pledged at the $30 level and was really looking forward to reading the novella to get a sense of the world before I jumped in and started playing.

Text from the pledge tier:

Pledge $30 or more

Previous reward + Downloadable DRM free digital soundtrack by Mark Morgan and digital WASTELAND 2 CONCEPT ART BOOK + Extra Digital Downloadable copy of game DRM free for PC or MAC OSX or Linux + Exclusive Ranger portrait collection + Access to Four episode Video Dev Blog. Also receive a Novella on the Wasteland 2 world created by Chris Avellone.
on this page:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/wasteland-2

I've downloaded all of the content available from my "shelf" for Wasteland 2 and it wasn't shown under the extras section, within the game installation folder or either of these two folders created by the GOG Downloader:

* wasteland_2_digital_classic_edition_upgrade
* wasteland_2_kickstarter

Thanks for your help.

Can anyone quote an official source that explains whether that novella is delayed, this is a mistake on GOG's part or whether inXile entertainment has changed their minds?

That's for KS backers only and I think it will be supplied through the ranger pledge management thing. The Classic Edition on GOG does not include any novellas....but the digital deluxe contains three of them including the Avellone novella.....or at least will include it whenever it's released but at the moment it's marked as "coming soon".

...Or... well... OK, fine, you can read it now. Here is our message:

Thank you,

inXile
Whether it will show up here or via the Ranger Center is to be seen. Oh well, I guess if I want back story I probably should just play Wasteland 1. ;)
