Project Update: Delays With Printing
TL:DR: Reordering the print run. Hopefully shipping in September.
Some of you may have noticed that I locked the shipping addresses! I did this on Wednesday, when I received an email stating that all the books would be delivered the next day. The following day I was very excited and then promptly very disappointed. The pages are off by 1 page, effectively ruining the layout. This is very much an error on the printer's side. Discussions are ongoing about getting a corrected print run. If things go south, I'll even seek out another printer.
On the brighter side of life, Dungeon Dwelling Creatures in about to launch on August 1st. I'm pretty heavily involved in this, contributing writing, editing (not on my own writing though), and doing layout. So follow the page and get ready to be a monster!
PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: June Update - Printing Soon! VTT Out Now!
Printing Update/ Shipping Timeline
TL;DR: I won't be receiving the books until the last week of July so everything will ship out in August.
Working with a proper print company takes longer than printing through Mixam! I'm certainly able to create a higher quality hardcover through Walsworth but achieving that takes time. So sorry that things taking longer than planned but little that I can do about it. I had wished to make a Backerkit update and share with folks earlier on in June but didn't want to put out information until I was certain of the timeline.

Foundry VTT!
I sent these out earlier! If you grabbed this during the campaign then you should have it in your email. DriveThruRPG already seems to have about a 1% error rate so please reach out if you backed for the Foundry VTT but didn't receive anything.
PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: PDFs have arrived!
PDF Fulfillment
The PDFs for The Conquest of Chaos and all purchase add-ons have been sent out! Find those PDFs directly in your DriveThruRPG account or in your email. These were sent to the email address associated with your Backerkit account, so that may be different than the one you use for DriveThruRPG. That said, the link in your email will still work fine even if the DTRPG email address is a different one. If you don't see the email or the notification in DTRPG, then let me know and I'll make sure things get handled.
Side note, if you find a typo then let me know at [email protected]!

Foundry
The Foundry add-on is not quite ready yet! But that should be ready before the end of the month.
Bonus PDF
I felt a little bad about not delivering the PDF as quickly as I could so I made a little bonus as my way of apology. It's called Every Kith Begins With K and is intended for folks running a Purple Planet campaign. It's a somewhat lighthearted 1d14 table of magic items, monsters, and adventure hooks.

Print Timeline
TL;DR: Still good for July.
I am waiting on distribution numbers before ordering the print run. I should get those number within the first week of June. I will then promptly order the print run, which I should have sometime in July. These are being printed in the USA so there's no "slow boats from China" to cause any problems. The boxes will take up an enormous amount of space in my home so I'll be shipping them out as quickly as possible! So still on track for July fulfillment as long as there's no bumps in the road.

Project Update: Surveys Locking 5/9! PDFs soon after!
Surveys Lock on 5/9!
Final maps should be complete soon, which means that I can get that final PDF out to everyone! Sorry that it's taken a little extra time to get to this point, but we're still on-track for delivering the physical books in July. I've got all the other pieces of the puzzle (stickers, patches, dice trays, even the packing boxes) all awaiting those books.
I'll see a few of you at Dungeon Con but the next update will be when those PDFs are being sent out.
