Hi there,
I'd planned on an update on the 20th but turns out that was Easter!! So I skipped a week.

Here's the update on Cozy Quests:
We are moving forward with layout and still gathering additional art. This means we won't have the book to the printer by the intended end-of-April deadline. We could have turned it in... but we know that by taking a bit more time we will have an exponentially better product, so it seems to us that the delay is worth it. I have to say that some of the additional art is SO CUTE!!! This is such a finely crafted, wholesome book I just can't see rushing it out in a less-than-well-crafted state. As for the exact date, we just are not sure yet. Keep an eye on these updates and we'll keep letting y'all know how it's going. 

Bonus Update:
While the art and design folks work hard at completing Cozy Quests, the writer folks have gathered, edited, and curated an amazing collection of short fiction set in the Small Town Magic setting of Unknown Worlds! Eleven authors (including some of the designers!) and 130 pages of magic-filled fiction are coming your way! The book will release on May 30!!! The book has already been printed and is in hand. We'll be having a fun book release event in Milwaukee on the 30th and the book will go live on Drivethru Fiction that night!! 

Thank you for your support,

Hello backers!!! Here are updates on the two titles in art/layout:

BOOK OF POWERS
It's out today!!!! The digital version is live on DrivethruRPG, and the print version is coming soon. Codes have been emailed to all the "digital all-in" backers this morning!!

COZY QUESTS
As the book was coming together in layout it became clear to us that this book was not yet up to the standards set by the first two field journals. We are making and commissioning additional art elements for the book now and continuing the layout process. Our original goal of sending the files to Drivethru by the end of April will not be met. We could send finished files by then, but we believe that a bit more time will return a much better book. We know that in crowdfunding delays can pile up and stretch for years but that won't be the case with this book. It's close... we're just not quite happy with it yet. We will continue regular Sunday updates until the project is completed. As for a new goal date... that's tricky. We don't want to set a goal too soon and miss the goal but we want this book in players' hands asap! Next Sunday update we'll give a realistic new date of completion after we hear back from the artists with which we're working.

Tariff Update
It will cost us more to print and deliver the Cozy Quest book, that's just a fact. We will not be passing that extra cost on to backers. Let us say again: If you backed our project and your pledge included Cozy Quests there will be no additional cost passed on to you. 

All our products are printed in the United States.

Hi Backers!

It's been a while since we updated. Here's where we are:

Once the files are accepted we'll order a proof and the product will go live once the proof looks good. Backers who are receiving the digital version of the book will get codes for download through DrivethruRPG after we confirm all is well with the proof! A PoD version will also be made available at that time.

The text and art are completed and the layout is progressing well. After the layout is complete, we'll upload to DrivethruRPG for a proof. After proofs are approved, we'll order physical copies for those who included those in their pledges and also send digital codes for download of the PDF. Our goal is to complete layout and upload the files by the end of April. 

Now that we're nearing the completion of fulfillment, we'll be posting weekly updates (on Sundays) letting you know where we are with the project. 

While one of us is in Layout Land, the group is hard at work on new material. Several projects are in development and we're really excited to see them moving forward. Here's a list of what we're currently working on, in rough order of future release!

1. Unknown Stories: Tales of Small Town Magic
A book of short fiction releasing at the end of May!

2. Field Journal, Codename: SPACE!
Field Journal set in a retro-futurist moons of Jupiter setting with space shenanigans.

3. Field Journal, Codename: OG
An unannounced Field Journal being developed through play.

4. Field Journal, Codename: NY
A Field Journal about magic in the big city in the 90s.

5. Tier IV Core
A core book that adds Tier IV Paths, Secrets, Tools, and Lore

6. Tier IV Monsters
A core book that adds Tier IV Monsters

7. Field Journal, Codename: END
An unannounced Field Journal about the end of the world as we know it.

8. Field Journal, Codename: PDK
An unannounced double-size Field Journal.

9. Interactive Character Sheets
This one won't be released last... but since we don't have any clue how to do this well, it's down here until after the layout of Cozy Quests is finished!  


Thanks to all of the folks who have supported us through this project!!
