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!)

Project Update: May Update!
Over the last few weeks, the pledge funds were released, I received some much-needed clarification from PrintNinja about how things will be handled given the changes afoot with tariffs, and I've been making a couple of updates to the game because ideas keep sneaking up on me.
Here's what to expect this month:
- The Pledge Manager Survey
- This has been a bit more complicated than I was expecting but it's about ready. I'll provide an update with all the info about it when it opens.
- Digital Copies
- While the final digital version of Song of the Scryptwyrm will be distributed through itch.io, I'm still hammering out whether that will need to happen when all other fulfillment is taking place or if I can do it early. If the itch.io distribution is going to be delayed, I'll set up a Google Drive folder for backers with the files so you can get to see them this month.
Thank you once again for all your support!

I'm really looking forward to playing, and we haven't heard from you in a while!
Project Update: The Next Chapter
After pledges are collected, I'll be opening up the Pledge Manager surveys, which will give you to the chance to add items if you wish, provide your shipping address, etc. Those surveys will stay open for a few months; I'll close them we're closer to fulfillment. That means you'll have the chance to update your shipping address if needed. Please note that shipping will be charged closer to fulfillment as well so that those costs can be as accurate as possible.
I plan to provide monthly updates here on the status of the project. If you have questions or comments, please feel free to post them here or reach out to me at [email protected].
Thank you again for making this possible!
Dan
