I just ordered the proofs for the artist prints from DriveThruRPG last week. I wanted to let everyone know that you WILL be getting the at-cost print discounts for those the very moment they arrive in the mail. I learned my lesson with the cover art so I'm not sending anything out in advance and assuming that DriveThru will not....well....have problems with my files. I don't want to talk too harshly about DriveThruRPG though. They have done a fantastic job, especially with the hardcovers. Which turned out exactly as I had hoped. Just really top notch prints there. (For POD anyway.)
Still waiting to get the proofs for the new softcovers in the mail. It's likely going to be another 10 or so days before I do. So we're waiting. But once again. As soon as the proof arrives I'll be smashing the "LIVE" button so everyone can print those.
I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to all of you who contacted me via email during this process. For our first Backerkit ever I have learned a whole heck of a lot. The next go around I'll be doing things a lot differently, but I do appreciate the patience, understanding, and willingness to work with me as I power through these learning experiences. I do believe I have gotten back to everyone who has emailed me about any difficulties they may have had with the printing/email discounts process. Some of the emails just never hit your inboxes, some of them got caught in spam filters, others had no problems at all. But fortunately I was able to send out emails and codes to get most if not all of you taken care of. Whew! It was a process. But I think we're just about there. Thankful that the majority of backers didn't have problems. But for the ones who did. You all showed how top notch this community is. With excellent responses and more patience than I deserved. Anyway. Huge thank you to all of you!
And if any of you have any problems with anything, or questions about anything. Do not hesitate to email me at [email protected] and I will certainly get back to you within 24 hours to help. I want to give the best possible service I can for the best possible product I can. Always. You matter. And you always will to me!
OK. One last pretty great thing. Here's the cover for Volume 3. We're hard at work on it. And, well...it's going to be all about Dwarves, Paladins, and Dragons! Here's to the next adventure!
