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!

Quick update!

Hey all!

Just a quick update per Dave: He's still meeting with printers today to hash out details. Our artists are still working, and once the final art is done, printing starts!

All 3 PDFs parts 1-3 should now be available in the pledge manager.  I try to catch all the comments but inevitably some get missed :(  So if you're having access issues, email me at [email protected] with your full name and email you used to pledge!

Thanks everyone, and Happy New Year!

Part 2 of 3 is out, which means all three parts are out! Woop!

Hey friends,

We just distributed the last massive chunk of the book. There'll likely be some typos, formatting errors, etc., so if you'd like to help us out by reporting those, send information to [email protected], and Aubrey will make sure we see them before print.

Note that there will be a whole bunch of [x] placeholders for pages. Those will remain until the final final is done within the next couple of weeks. We won't change those until production, so if there is a change in pagination due to edits, we don't mess everything up. Additionally, we're still waiting on a few key art pieces from Matias and Nacho. Until then, there's some placeholders.

We have a meeting with Eastar on December 30th, where we will discuss getting this up and printing before the Chinese New Year. There'll be a sample process, of course, but we'll keep you in the loop with all that. And as noted before, all the accessories are already in the US. We're just waiting for the book to print.

Once we have a hard date on the book arriving, we can give you ETAs on when stuff will ship.

Thanks for your patience! If you're having trouble downloading or finding your PDFs, make sure to reach out to Aubrey at [email protected]

Thanks again and enjoy this huge, beautiful book that Chase and Kestrel wrote!

Final Part Coming Today or Tomorrow
8 months ago – Thu, Dec 18, 2025 at 08:24:58 AM

Hey friends!

The final part is written and formatted. It'll need a quick proofing pass on our end. Also, there's going to be some different art for it in the final version; Nacho and Matias Lazaro are doing those as we speak, hoping to get them done before the holiday. Either way, we're going to release it for your eyeballs and any additional proofing comments you have for us. Then, once we have the final art, your notes, and any errors fixed, we'll release the final bugger.

I think we said 325 pages... it actually came out to about 400ish! Haha

Thanks for being patient. Very excited to get all this in your hands.

For those wondering about physical copies, we're sending the book to our printer along with a print run of two additional books. The larger print run should hopefully get this prioritized. Either way, with trade and the world being what it is right now, we don't want to put a hard date on anything just yet. Once we have more information, timelines, and ETAs, we'll share them with you.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, hit us up at [email protected]

Take care!

Adventure PDF dropping sooner than anticipated
8 months ago – Mon, Dec 15, 2025 at 12:05:48 PM

Hey everyone

A quick amendment to the last post. We're dropping the adventure PDF sooner than anticipated, with some place holder art until Matias and Nacho can get the new pieces done. That way, you'll have the full thing and ready to read. Then, after the holiday, once we have the art, we'll put out the finalized PDF. This will make sure nothing is running too slowly. 

I've got to add a couple more bits to it and do a proofing pass on it, but otherwise, it's good to go.
