Project Update: Project Update: August
The print-on-demand Collection deck links were distributed on July 28 through the BackerKit Pledge Manager. If you picked up a pledge tier that included this reward, you can use the link to order your deck through DriveThruRPG for just the cost of printing. I love how well these cards turned out and since it's going to be a while before the books are available, definitely take advantage of the cheapest/slowest shipping option.
Aug 1 EDIT: the original link I sent out was accidently for the PDF version of the cards, not the printed cards. I've updated the download link on BackerKit Pledge Manager so that it now adds the printed cards to your DriveThruRPG cart. Sorry for the confusion!
And speaking of the books, I've received word that the printing is complete. We've now begun the 6 to 8 week wait for shipping/delivery.
I expect August to be pretty quiet on the Scryptwyrm front; I'll let you know about anything that comes up. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach me at [email protected]
Thanks!
Project Update: Project Update: July Update
First up in this month’s updates is that I’ve submitted the book files to PrintNinja and approved the proofs, so the printing process is afoot!
In dealing with some items that came up in the printing files I discovered a few things that needed tweaking, so I have also updated the digital version of the game book. It’s nothing major - a couple art fixes, obligatory typos, hyperlinks are now visible, etc. - but if you’d like to get your copy, Version 1.1 is available through the same itch.io link you received previously via the BackerKit Pledge Manager.
And coming up in July, I plan to send out the codes for ordering the print-on-demand version of the Collection deck. I’m just waiting on one last proof set from DriveThruRPG before that goes live. These will also be delivered via the BackerKit Pledge Manager.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach me at [email protected]
Thanks!
Project Update: Digital Releases & Pledge Manager
The digital version of Song of the Scryptwyrm is live!
Just mentioning another campaign that ties into this infinite library theme. Dahlia’s Diversions for Peculiar Parties by Steven Jackson Games (a current backer kit project) is a set of eight short RPG games. One of them is called Overdue. “Overdue is a GM-less game of magical research for up to four players. You are an apprentice librarian at the Central Branch of the Omnifold Library, entrusted with an important and hazardous duty – you must retrieve one of the library’s overdue books. Of course, those books tend to be checked out by powerful wizards, so you’ll need to make sure your grimoire is filled with spells for any contingency. You may learn something surprising along the way! This game is a treat for library lovers, occultists, and fans of the classic game Exquisite Corpse. Designed by Ash Cheshire. Illustrated by Ben Williams.” I am in no way affiliated with the project/campaign. I thought people might enjoy adding to their Librarian’s Apprentice thematics.
Project Update: Pledge Manager Surveys: Smoke Test
I've just initiated the pledge manager smoke test, which means 5% of backers have now received their BackerKit surveys for Song of the Scryptwyrm. These surveys will allow you to confirm your pledge and give you the chance to pick up extra add-ons.
Once it's clear that everything in the surveys is running smoothly, I'll push the button to send the surveys to everyone else. I expect this to take place in the next few days, so keep an eye on in your inbox. (And if you are one of the lucky early recipients, thank you for testing things out for me!)
