Today is a pretty great day. We're doing our final layout changes and adding in a little bit of last minute art to fill in the spots where editing brought our word count down. (It's still 162 pages long. So dont worry there's a lot of adventuring goodness in there!) For the most part. Volume 2 of Righteous Vow is ready, and we're submitting it for print setup today! This means we're on schedule and will most definitely be getting you your copies by March. How long it will take DriveThruRPG to send us our proofs and get the greenlight for sending out your discount codes? That's another question all together. But, even with the uncertainty of timelines with DriveThru. (We expect a couple of weeks) I'm hopeful we can get this out the door soon enough to have these wonderful books in your hands before mid-March.
The other awesome news is that your pledge managers should be going out soon as well. This means that you can send us your DriveThruRPG email addresses to get those discounts out to you once it's time. It also means that if you forgot and wanted to add a hardback version to your pledge, or a softcover copy to your hardback pledge, you can do that!
Also in the coming days we will be releasing pre-orders for the retail versions of the book. These will be at full price and will not be fulfilled until after every single one of our backers gets their prints FIRST. You also get the thank you of a lower price overall (even after printing and shipping) than the retail prices. So you saved yourself some dough. Nice work!
Finally. Just wanted to say thank you once again to all of you who have backed this project and then followed through on your promises by sending your funds through the backerkit. There were only two people that didn't clear the funding stage. That's a pretty smooth process there. Happy about that. Also those funds are being distributed now. I am paying myself back for some of the costs of creating this book, and I'm also sending funds to our artists to make sure that they can start working on Volume 3 and feel good about it.
Be sure to join our mailing list on our website for more details and upcoming news about the zine. I'll be sending updates here too. But the best way is to visit CrawlClub.com and get signed up. I'm going to be creating a one shot in the coming months that will be given away for FREE. And the way you can get it, is by joining our mailing list!
Have an excellent week. Hopefully everyone gets signed up for their Gary Con games this weekend. I can't wait to meet a lot of you there. Please do come say hello! I want to meet every darned one of you!
