*VERY IMPORTANT* Production Progress & Pledge/Reward Changes
almost 2 years ago – Thu, Jun 23, 2022 at 03:18:40 AM

Greetings Adventurers!

We have good news! Production has begun! 

Production.  Digital proofs are being finalized and we expect a physical "production proof" within the coming weeks. We've been told to expect delivery to our warehouse around late August to early September (depending on shipping logistics). If budget allows (and if it'll shorten fulfillment times), we will air freight what we need to fulfill your orders and send the rest from production to our warehouse via ocean freight (which is slower). We will keep you informed.

Digital proofs printed on our large format printer (saving 2-3 weeks of transportation time).

Pledge/Reward Changes. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the box set over the individual decks, we will not be producing any individual decks in tuck boxes. We're sorry for the inconvenience, but there were simply too few of them ordered to justify a print run. Before the campaign we surveyed our customers and determined that we had a healthy number of people who wanted tuck boxes as well as people who wanted the box set (which is why we offered both during the campaign), but the final numbers showed a lack of support for the tuck box format. It would appear that the box set presented a better value to the vast majority of our backers.

*This does not affect any PDF/Digital pledge levels or rewards*

Those of you who did pledge at a level that included one or more tuck boxes do have the option to upgrade to the box set or be refunded. Please follow this link to fill out our Google Form and our customer service team will be happy to help: https://forms.gle/SEFyEdXfAGu3CP6N9

PDF Downloads. The PDFs are being finalized as we speak and will be made available very soon. If your pledge included a PDF you will receive an email from Backerkit in the coming days with a link to download them.

Happy gaming!

And Look, *More* Artwork Updates
about 2 years ago – Tue, Apr 19, 2022 at 12:38:47 AM

Ahoy gang, 


Another quick one just to let you know that, bar a very minor change to the Simple Sidequests deck, artwork is now complete! 

Card backs for the Epic Adventures and Relics & Artifacts decks

This means, with the Pregenerated Stories and Storyteller's Guide written and very nearly proofed, that we are pretty much ready to get the ball rolling on the production side of things. As soon as those files are ready for production, that means they're ready to be sent out to digital backers as well! 


Keep on keeping on, 


Ralph

Artwork Update
over 2 years ago – Fri, Feb 04, 2022 at 01:34:35 PM

Hi all,


Art Director Ralph here, just popping in to let you know where we are with the artwork. As you know, we unlocked the additional artwork stretch goal as part of the campaign, which means a lot more visual goodness for us all, but also 5 times as much work for our artist, Karen Petrasko! With the holidays, and a house move in the mix, this means we've hit a couple of delays along the way. At the moment, we have 3 of the 5 decks completed, with a 4th at the sketch stage. However, the card content is all written and proofed, which means that as soon as we are done with the artwork, the cards should be ready to go!


I hope you enjoy this little preview of some of the completed artwork. The idea was to turn each deck into a little 5-panel story, each panel of which gives you the actor, action, subject, intent, and development of the narrative, and we had a lot of fun sneaking in thematic little background details.

Thanks for your patience!

Pre-Production Updates!
over 2 years ago – Sat, Dec 04, 2021 at 01:11:52 AM

Greeting Adventurers!

This is a super quick update to let you all know that pre-production is coming along nicely. We have some additional pieces of artwork (unlocked through stretch goals) that are being finished up. We expect to send the final files to production in January as soon as the remaining artwork is completed.

Here are a few sketches from the Contracts & Bounties deck for your enjoyment:

Stay tuned for more updates!

Happy gaming!
