It would have preferred if the shipping would have been into a single wave vs multiple wave to avoid additional brokerage fees. Also, a bit disappointed the player options are for 2024 - I just realized the campaign was not specific about that. I mean I can convert them back but it is annoying since I don't care for that edition at all.

Just an FYI for any Canadian customers. My book arrived today. Along with a $50.74 COD charge. I thought it was a little nuts when my $40 pledge got hit with a $35 shipping charge but that got fixed to $10. I thought this was coming directly from the printer, Amazon but the UPS paperwork says it came from Oklahoma. So $1.70 duty, $8.19 tax and a $36.15 brokerage fee. I think I’m done with the physical backings.
Project Update: International Shipping Officially on the Way and Special Edition Covers ETA End of the Month
Quick update.
- The special edition covers are printing. We had a couple issues with formatting and for whatever reason it wouldn't let us do dust jackets, but that's now resolved. We have an ETA arrival time at our fulfillment center on June 30th.
- The Best of DMDave books will probably go out around a similar time. I just have to get those uploaded onto Amazon.
- After trying to figure out what's going on with the tariff situation, we're finally confident we're "in the clear" (for the most part), so international shipping is underway. Great Britain folks probably already saw confirmations today. We'll probably do Canada next (next biggest spot) and then the rest.
- I'm now manually going through every domestic order to ensure that it's all done and sent. If you think there's an issue, let us know at [email protected]
Thanks again!

Project Update: Dice, dice trays, and dice bags here—everything shipping this week!
Just letting you know that we got all the goods in yesterday. We have to inventory them and make sure we're good on shipping materials, but otherwise we should start shipping everything this week.
The only thing we're holding off on are the Best of DMDave books which will probably go printer direct (I'll eat the cost), international items (also printer direct), and the fancy covers which are being printed through a different printer.
In other words, unless you got the special cover with the Yaniir die, you should see a tracking number come through for domestic orders, and you'll get a heads-up once we have all the non-domestic orders go out (we don't get tracking numbers for those until they actually ship).
As usual, if there's any issues, let us know at [email protected]
Thanks!

Project Update: Shipping and PDF Release Status Updates
Happy May! Here's a quick update for status:
- All US orders receiving books only that aren't the special edition or Best of DMDave series have shipped. Most of you should already have tracking numbers. The rest will see them come through today.
- International book-only orders that don't have Best of DMDave goods will be shipping throughout the week. The process for these is a bit slower since I have to manually enter all of them through the printer. I won't have tracking numbers until they're printed and actually ship. But you can probably expect your books by the end of this month.
- All of the Chinese goods are arriving today (I think they slid in right before the cut-off date for de minimum tariffs, phew!), so we'll be checking those over and will start shipping that stuff this week.
- Best of DMDave books are going to a different printer (Amazon), but I will likely just send these separately.
- The special edition books are still being printed. We're using a different printer for them so the process is a bit slower. But they're super duper nice so it's worth the wait.
And if you haven't had a chance yet, we're about to wrap up our latest campaign, book #26 Broadsword Guide to the Negative Energy Plane:
