I have backed Grimwild at the "$115 Grimwild Complete" level. Does this freshly-launched campaign offer anything new for me? I am eager to support, and I may do so just to get an additional copy of the book and add on more dice, but I wanted to find out if there was anything I "need" to get so that I will have the complete Grimwild experience. Thank you!

Project Update: Grimwild v1.4, Printing Process, Expanded Print Run, Upgrading Your Pledge, Changing Addresses
Hey everyone! Sorry for the long quiet there.
Grimwild v1.4 is out
Due to some printing delays (more on that below), we had the chance to fix a few lingering typos and—more importantly—streamline the damage system in the game. Huge thanks to everyone on the Discord who helped hammer it out. I’m really happy with where it landed. You can check the changelog and grab the updated files from your DTRPG download link.
This will be the final update Grimwild receives for the forseeable future.

Print Schedule
Here’s a quick update on where things stand. All files are finalized and with the manufacturer. Printing begins in May, books arrive at our US fulfillment center in June, and shipping starts shortly after. You should have your books in hand by the end of July. That’s a few months behind our original schedule—here’s why:
We received test prints of the supplements and parts of the hardcover (printed in sections due to its complexity). The cards and zines looked great, but the dice had issues: the Pantone red I picked was too dark. It took a few rounds of adjustments to get it right—Pantone can be tricky.
We also ran into some back-and-forth over the hardcover design, especially the foiled and debossed cloth spine. Each change meant waiting a week for a new test print, then repeating the process. It added up.
There are some photos at the bottom of this post to check out. I had more photos of this process, but unfortunately the Dropbox folder got deleted. So no hardcover pics yet. I’ll post those when the physical test prints arrive at my place.
As for tariffs: yes, we’re affected. It’s impossible to say what the US–China import tariffs will be in June. They’re currently 145%, though there are rumors they might drop. My guess is 30–50% by the time our shipment arrives. In any case, I’ll be covering the cost myself—whatever it ends up being.
Expanding the Print Run
As April neared from the delay, I realized that many others were interested in the hardcover as well, people new to the game. I had originally planned to do this first small print run (of 500 copies), then another larger one in about a year. But since the printing was delayed a bit, it actually opened up two opportunities.
- First, we got to update the final printing to the *very* well checked v1.4!
- Second, we get the chance to allow anyone that wants a copy of the book to order it.
So we’re launching an expanded print run via Backerkit early next week. If you know someone who wants a copy, please send them the link:

Unlocked Orders / Upgrading Your Pledge
I’ve unlocked all orders. If you want to add the hardcover or any of the physical supplements to your pledge, you can do that now. I also reopened address changes in case you'll be at a different location come July 2025. Please get them updated.
I originally locked things down a bit earlier than necessary before. Sorry about the false start there.
If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out!
Pictures
Here are a few photos from the test print process. Most of what I had vanished with that deleted Dropbox folder, but I managed to salvage some from Discord. They’re rough snaps from the production process, but I’ll take proper photos when the final test prints arrive.

Project Update: Unlocked Orders / Late Backers
Hey everyone,
I tried unlocking all orders yesterday, but the system didn't correctly process the request.
However, now I've managed to get the orders unlocked. Anyone that backed the original campaign can now change their orders (to upgrade to physical editions) and addresses. Let me know if you have any problems with it!
For late backers that want to grab the physical editions or edit addresses, the orders can't be unlocked. It's a separate system - if you'd like to make changes, please drop me a message at [email protected]
Sorry for the hassle!

It would be good to get an update on the printing process. It’s been three months since the last update. It is a bit concerning that we haven’t received any news about the printing, or estimated delivery time - especially with the current international tariff situation.
