Latest Updates from Our Project:

The final Stretch
4 months ago – Mon, Oct 07, 2024 at 06:12:13 AM

Greetings Sinner, 

I know its been radio silence from me for a wile, but I want to give you a heads up as to what is happening. 

I have been working hard in coordination with the fantastic folks at Free League to make sure that the core book as well as the book of spells are the best they can be when they go to print. 

This is the largest and most complicated print project I have tackled and there have been a lot of lessons learnt. Free League puts out some of the most beautiful books in the RPG market and I do not want mine to be the weak link, you as a backer deserve only the best. 

Although production is still at a late stage with mostly ploish and logistics being prioratised, I can say that we are another step closer to the final file being made before it goes to print and delivered to your door. 

As to that, we are projecting that the book will come out mid to late March 2025, however it is more than likely that the digital only editions can be sent out before that, its all up to Free League for that. 

I am already hard at work making sure that there will be aditional goodies available for the books launch, some will be for digital or print on demand purchase, some will be free. These include NPC and enemy cards, an adventure, additional super bespoke rules, and more. All of this will of course feature brand new colour illustrations and more lore. 

I apreciate your patience with this project, I am currently recovering from surgery on my voice box but I still want to keep everything to the deadlines. 

If you want to keep in contact here is a fresh link to the discord

It's already lively with discusssion and very welcoming. 

I hope to have another update by the end of the month. 

cheers

Greetings Sinner,

I am on a much needed holiday to prevent myself form more burnout and an early grave, but i still come with good news. I opdered a dummy copy of the book to be made so that I can make adjustments for the colours and font layout to make sure that the book is the best it can be. 

If you want to check out the video of me flipping through please follow th link to our discord, already populated with a fine selection of nare do wells, and my wife.

Greetings sinner. 

Work on the book has come to a near close as well as the pages of the Book of Spells!

On another note, the Discord is now live and open. There is also a special Spanish Linquisition chat for the wonderful people voulenteering to spellcheck the doccument ahead of the final print. Its been a real ride, but we are sp much closer to geting the book ready for print. the next stage is geting a test print done to make sure that the colours and fonts look the best they can be and nothing is too dark or small to see at a glance. 

below are some more examples from the book of spells, i hope to see you in the discord soon. 

cheers

Update on PDF issue
7 months ago – Tue, Jul 02, 2024 at 12:20:21 PM

Greetings Sinner, 

Ive been told  by multiple people that there was a issue with Backerkit assigning an additional PDF of the book with peoples orders. This was a mistake that should not have been an add on, as the PDF is either the actual pledge, or will come free with every print of the book. So it makes no sense to have it as an extra. 

Thank you to everyone who brought this up, and I hope this will make it easier to sort out the backerkit survey. 

I'm hoping to lock the orders by October, but I will let everyone know if that date changes. The realistic time for the print to be made and shipped is early next year, but! It is my hope to pull off a christmas miricle and get it on shelves and in peoples hands by December. This however depends on a lot of dominoes falling into place including having all the surveys completed soon. So lets see!

cheers

Ben
