POD Update
12 days ago – Mon, Jun 24, 2024 at 01:25:33 PM

Just to be clear, the POD codes are not available yet. Backers at the POD level have gotten emailed codes with the SKU that says POD: these are the pdfs for those pledge levels. POD codes will be emailed once I have and approved the print proofs. As I said in the previous update, this will likely be at the end of Julyish. Sorry for the confusion.

Quick update
16 days ago – Thu, Jun 20, 2024 at 08:14:29 AM

Sorry to send out two updates so closely together, but I'm making faster progress on the layout and should be done by the end of the weekend. I'm going to send out Backerkit surveys this weekend, largely so I can get an accurate count for the offset version. 

What does this mean?

  • PDFs will go out almost immediately after you fill the survey out (I'm guessing around July 27th at the very latest).
  • I'm going to give it a week or two before I submit the files for print copies. If anyone spies any errors, please let me know. 
  • I'll submit the print files, and should be getting proofs in by the third or fourth week in July. I got an alert from Drivethru a few days back that hardcover POD is taking a bit longer, but I think this time frame should work.
  • Offset copies should be coming in end of July and I'll start sending them out as soon as they do come in. 
  • The first volume of the book is available as an add-on in pdf, pod, and offset. You'll also have an option to upgrade to the offset version if you'd like.
  • We didn't hit the stretch goal for art for each monster, but I said to myself: "myself, the first volume has art for each monster, so let's do that here, too." The book is also about 20k words more than volume 1. 

Thanks, and have a great weekend!

Update #7 -- Layout has begun
20 days ago – Sun, Jun 16, 2024 at 11:40:00 AM

Just wanted to drop a quick update that layout on Vol. 2 has begun and we're still on schedule/slightly ahead of schedule. I'll be sending out Backerkit surveys in the next week or so. There will be an option to snag Vol. 1 in this survey.

Art is in, text is out
about 2 months ago – Tue, May 21, 2024 at 09:20:37 AM

All of the art is now in, and I've made a few minor edits to the text to better reflect the art. I just now sent the document off to be edited. It comes in right at 70k words, about 20k more than Volume 1.

I will keep everyone updated as to progress.
