Latest Updates from Our Project:

PDFs coming... soonish?
about 1 year ago – Tue, Mar 11, 2025 at 12:04:26 PM

Hey friends,

Just a quick update for March. 

Everything is ordered and on the way except for the main book, which we're still finishing up the PDFs for. They're drafted, they're just waiting on me (Dave) to get them cleaned up and organized. From there, the Mage Armoire team will do a final pass. We will likely do an "alpha PDF" once that's done to see what you all think and to see whether or not we need to fix any mistakes.

No ETA just yet, but soonish.

Once that's all done, we'll open the Pledge Manager and start getting your information for shipping.

Thanks again! We look forward to delivering this project to you all.

 - Dave

China is back and the draft is complete!

Hey friends,

Quickie update with everything that's going on:

  • Pendants are ordered. We ordered a few extra than what's needed, so for those of you looking to get one (or extra), we'll have a few more available when the Pledge Manager opens.
  • Dice are ordered. The company making them just got back in, and they should start the process of shipping them soon.
  • The draft for the book is completed. I will be reviewing it for its "5e-ness", making edits, and formatting it. A few extra pieces of art might be needed, but otherwise, it's mostly done. I will probably work on this once I get back from the GAMA trade expo the last month. Once it's released we'll do an "alpha" release to catch any typos or answer any questions about it. And then follow it up with a "full" release.
  • Although it's hard to know what will happen during all the trade kerfuffles coming up, I expect we'll probably place an order for the book sometime in March or April once the PDF is out. 
  • You can expect the Pledge Manager to open up probably in March at some time, if not sooner. I'd like to open the PM and give you the PDF right away, so that's all that's really holding that up. That way you'll get charged for shipping/add-ons around the same time we're receiving the goods. 

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

Thanks!

Another quickie update!
about 1 year ago – Mon, Jan 27, 2025 at 10:33:40 AM

Hey friends,

Chase is doing the proofing runs now on the content Kes has written, which will then be handed over to Dave for formatting. Meanwhile, Dave has ordered all of the dice for the campaign, which is slated to arrive in late February/early March. Printing on the main book will likely start in March using a manufacturer that Free League uses. We estimate that the books will be finished printing in late Spring and start shipping in early summer.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to hit us up at [email protected]

Thanks!

Dice Samples and Quick Update
over 1 year ago – Sun, Jan 05, 2025 at 06:16:10 PM

Hey friends!

Happy New Year! Just a quick update for all of you. We've got dice samples from our manufacturer:



They look excellent, so we'll go ahead and put the order in now. Kes and Chase returned from their holiday excursions, so Kes will work on finalizing the content. After that, Chase will do a quick pass over it and hand it over to Dave to start organizing the content.

We're not sure when we'll be doing the Pledge Manager, but likely closer to a date when we're ready to release a PDF and start collecting funds for shipping. That'll hopefully give you a break from holiday spending.

If you have any questions, be sure to contact us at [email protected]. There, you can reach Bree, the Customer Service specialist, directly.

Happy post-Christmas!

Hey friends!

I hope you're having a good holiday so far. Just giving a quick update, we're underway with the project. The dice and pendants are being ordered, and Kestrel and Chase are working on the last bits of the book. We probably won't open up the pledge manager until January just to give everyone time to recover for the holiday.

As it stands, everything will be delivered in Q3 of 2025 (about 10-12 months from now). If we feel that we can't match that deadline, we'll let you know in advance.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
