You're getting an early update because the books have arrived! I wasn't expecting them for another few weeks, but they're here!
If you are a backer, you should have a recent email or two from BackerKit letting you know your order is about to be locked down. Shortly after all the surveys are locked, shipping costs will be added and final charges will be applied to your card. Then I can start sending packages out. If you haven't completed your original survey yet, please do so as soon as possible!
In other news, my Pocketopia cross-collab partner - the ENnie awarded TTRPGkids - is kicking off their next TTRPG crowdfunding project in September! StoryGuider is a series of 36 adventures designed for kidsages 2-7 that intentionally teach social emotional learning skills and provide practice of other skills (like fine motor control) as part of the story itself and story-related engagement activities.
StoryGuider was initially published a few years ago as an aid for a pre-K teacher looking to improve class engagement on the school’s social-emotional learning curriculum. This campaign aims to not only improve the stories based on feedback and lessons learned but to also hire artists to update the coloring and activity pages. All art in these choose-your-own-adventure style books will be made by humans, and the team includes two skilled teen artists who are kicking off their careers in illustration and comics.
