Greetings, everyone. 

Exciting news today!

I’ve finished applying the proofreading fixes—all 424 of them. Yes, 424. Proofreaders are built differently. Most of the changes were capitalization, punctuation, italics, a few broken links, and one or two phrases that now read more clearly. Nothing structural, but enough that I can confidently say the book is as polished as it can be.

As a result, two things:

You can download it as usual from your library.

The Tables Compendium has also been updated (v1.0.5) so both documents reflect the same corrections.

That’s right. I’ve sent the final files to Critical Kit. They’ve forwarded everything to the print shop for checks, and things are moving forward. We’re finalizing the cover details (including some nice UV spot touches), reviewing proofs, and getting everything lined up in the production queue. The timeline is looking good.

Now, in order to place the print order and know exactly how many copies we need to produce and ship, I need to lock pledges.

About 97% of you have already completed your survey, which is fantastic. For the remaining few, I’ll assume you backed the project and then wandered peacefully into the forest to live among the moss and mushrooms. If that’s not the case, now is your moment!

If you need to:

Please do so before Tuesday, February 17th, 5 p.m. UTC+0. After that, I’ll lock the pledge manager.

You can find your survey by searching your inbox for “Backerkit,” “Pledge Manager,” or “Weird, Whimsy & Wonder.” If you can’t find it, use the recovery link below and enter the email you used for the campaign — Backerkit will resend it:

If you’ve already paid shipping, selected add-ons, and confirmed your address, you’re all set. No action needed.

On another note: the web app is now on GitHub. It turned out to be much less intimidating than I expected (one YouTube tutorial later and it was up). I still don’t fully understand why GitHub needs quite so many tabs and submenus, but we made it.

The repository link is in your itch downloads. If you’re comfortable with that ecosystem, feel free to look around. It’s a single HTML file (HTML, CSS, and JS together) so you can download it and run it offline on desktop or mobile without fuss. It’s under Creative Commons, so you’re welcome to fork it, tweak it, and experiment.

We’re getting very close now. It’s a good feeling!

Have a great weekend, and I’ll talk to you soon!
