Overclock RPG Update

Hello everyone!

First off, thank you all for your patience and support. We know this project has taken longer than expected, and we sincerely apologize for the delays. Over the last several months, we’ve spent a lot of time reorganizing our workflow and getting our production pipeline into a more manageable state. Progress is still slower than we’d like, but we are moving forward steadily.

We recently received the sample pages back from the printer. There are a few corrections we need to make before they provide us with the final print files, but overall things are moving in the right direction.

We’re also upgrading the book with spot UV coating to help it stand out visually and feel a bit more premium in-hand.

While we wait on final print approvals, we hope to release some additional digital content for backers as a thank you for your patience.

Thank you again for your continued support. If anyone needs additional assistance, please contact Aubrey at [email protected].

May 2026 Update
about 1 month ago – Tue, Apr 28, 2026 at 08:11:47 AM

We’ve secured a reliable printer, but production through China is moving slower than expected. At this stage, the books are in the manufacturing queue and awaiting completion.

We understand the delay is frustrating. While this portion of the process is largely outside of our control, we are monitoring progress closely and will continue to push for updates. In the meantime, we’ll be providing bonus content so there’s continued value while you wait.

Thank you for your patience as we work to get these books into your hands.

Aubrey is back and her surgery was a success. She’s still recovering, so responses from her may be slower than usual. 

If you need assistance, you can still reach us at [email protected]

Thank you for your understanding.

Communications Update

Hey everyone,

I'll be on medical leave until April 28th. That means Dave will be taking over communications for a while. Responses might be a bit slower than usual until I'm back, but you can direct all needs via email to [email protected]. Please note that updates will be given on this page, but not by email or DM. 

Thanks for your patience! See you soon.

Art first, then off to the printers!

Hey everyone!  Our printing contact had been MIA for about a month, but communications have resumed, and Overclock is officially with LongPack for the printing process.

We're waiting on some art before we can drop the final PDFs and start the physical printing process. Also, since there's a trade war and all, there's no current ETA on completion and shipping. We'll let you know when that changes. 

Questions? Email me at [email protected]. Thanks you guys!

Almost PDF time! Then off to the printers.

Hey all! Just a quick note from Dave that proofed versions of the PDF are almost ready! We are waiting on one more piece of art from our artists. The estimated goal is next week. Then printing! Estimated time from finalized print to shipping is 2 weeks. 

We're almost there! If you have any issues that need resolving in the meantime, email me at [email protected]. Thanks everyone!
