As mentioned in the last update, this was the bottleneck we were held up at for so long. Layout across all three formats was already begun when we reached this point, and is moving swiftly.
We are aiming for a release in late November.
That does two things - it gives us time to do backer surveys, which will go out in the near future, and it gives us time to work with Backerkit to merge orders across this crowdfund and two others (New Edge Sword & Sorcery 2025 and Sometime Lofty Towers) that many of you also backed. Thus we can save those who backed multiple projects a healthy chunk on shipping by putting everything together in one package!
Our very next update will be when I have proofs of the soft and hardcover in my hands that I can share pictures of. Your continued patience has always been appreciated. I'm rather happy now that, knock on wood, the narrative of this project can begin to shift from awful health issues & delays to wonderful stories and a brand new book for you to read!
