Greetings & good morning, wolves of the realm!

Nevyn here~

First, we want to say that we're so grateful that you've been understanding of the affects the tariffs are having on our small business (and the industry as a whole). We know it can be upsetting for something you're excited for to get delayed, and it's been a frustrating situation that we have little control over.

As of this morning, keys for the digital version of Little Wolves have been sent out! It's not a public release yet (that'll come soon~), but everyone whose order includes a digital copy should have an email from BackerKit with a link and some instructions.

Claiming your copy is straightforward: click the link in the e-mail, log in, and click "claim"! From there you'll be able to download your copy and some play materials :)

We have some additional play materials on our website, free for everyone, so go check 'em out! This includes mask template variants, instructions, and Basil Wright's excellent piece on accessibility at the table.

It also has a gallery of wolf masks! We'd love to see and share your creations and stories! If you want your wolf added to the showing, send it our way along with how you'd like to be named under it~

Again, we're so grateful for your support. We hope you have as great of a time playing Little Wolves as we had bringing this world to life.

As an extra little treat, we want to share some photos we got from Print Ninja! These are the test copies they received to do a quality check on assembly, and they're incredible. We're blown away by the quality, and this has us EVEN MORE excited to get these books in your hands!

That's all for now! We'll continue to update you as we hear more regarding our books. If you'd like to stay up to date on our work outside of here, you can join our discord and sign up for our newsletter.

Dear backers!

Nevyn here with a not-so-fun update for you, some good news and some bad. The good news is that we got confirmation that the production of Little Wolves books is complete and they're ready to be shipped! 

The bad news is that they're not being shipped yet. We've been discussing the unpredictability of customs with our manufacturing partners Print Ninja, and we agree that it's simply not a good idea to put our books on a boat right now.

In case you don't know, tariffs are charged when products arrive at port and they are paid by the importer (us), not by the country who sends the items.

Books, under some classifications, are safe for now (as this is being written), but with rules changing hour by hour we can't risk taking on a massive price hike we could not have imagined when we carefully budgeted for this project last year. There's a possibility that these increasing retaliations might even halt international shipments entirely.

The truth is our hostile and ignorant administration has flamed a trade war with no consideration for harming it's own American-side businesses and industry. We don't have much of a choice but to do what we can to protect the hard work that went into these books.

In spite of these delays I hope you all understand and make time to support small businesses as we weather this storm.

Greetings & good morning, wolves of the realm!
This update is as simple as it is exciting:

Just last week we approved the first round of proofs, and now we're waiting on our print samples! We should have them within the next week or two, and if everything looks good we'll be fully in production :D

Additionally, we're working on getting the digital version ready to release to backers by the end of this month.

That's all for this update! Thank you again for your support, we can't wait to get this book into y'all's hands :)

The finished layout is with our incredible editor Tyler Crumrine for final review before we package the documents up and send them to our printer. This also means that the digital versions should be available pretty soon, too! 😉

I'm putting a few more layout teasers/mockups at the bottom of this update for you all~

In case you missed it, last month we launched a patreon! Jam is making awesome postcard dungeons and stickers every month, and you can sign up to get them in the mail! I'm also doing blog posts that patrons will get a whole month early.

If this sounds cool to you, go check it out!
We also have a video detailing Jam's process for creating the first dungeon, and more videos are on the way~

That's all for this month, so enjoy these fantastical teasers~
As always, you can join our discord and sign up for our newsletter to keep up with us outside of this project!
