Good Afternoon everyone! (Or whatever time of day it is for you)!

I'm happy to announce that the PDF for Beyond the Shadows is basically complete. It likely needs some minor editing for internal consistency or clarity, but there are no substantial edits left.

My current plan is to submit a draft to DriveThruRPG for a proof copy of the POD books this week. Once that is done I will send you the codes to get access to preliminary PDF copies (no later than Friday night). These likely won't be the final PDF copies, as I have long since learned that I'm better at finding minor errors in physical prints than digital files, but I don't expect any changes after that will be big enough to warrant further delays.

Once the POD has been checked and resubmitted, you'll recieve the final PDF copies, complete with any miscellaneous edits made during the POD editing process. I'll keep you posted on the status of your POD books as that happens.

I'm including a screenshot below of how the book currently looks. I'm really happy with how it's come out, and I'm very excited for you to get to see the rest of it!

Pocketopia is closed and Beyond the Shadows has finished fundraising, so I wanted to say thank you to all of you for your support! 

Next steps: An 8 hour playtest is scheduled for Saturday; after that, there's a couple rounds of editing. PDFs will be released first, and then I begin the back-and-forth with DTRPG to get the proofs finalized and the hardbacks ready. I did receive the second piece of custom character art, and will be commissioning the cross-collab backer reward piece soon. 

I can't promise specific dates, as I haven't worked with DTRPG on fulfilling a POD before so this will be new territory for me. I'm hopeful that the PDF will be ready by late April and the POD, by late May. 

If there's any questions feel free to reach out. Once again, thank you all so much for making this a successful crowdfunding effort!
