Canadian Backers GO! Book Format Changes.
Hi Everyone,
Canadian Customers
It took me an extra day (because my life is a circus and I'm the ringmaster) but the postal rates for Canada have been added and Canada is of...
A little over half of the packages have been sent. I had to pause shipping for a little bit due to a printing issue with the Alt Cover standard (softcover) books. Thoe have since been shipped from the printer and are due to arrive in the next 2-3 days at which point shipping will resume.
Apologies for the delays and thank you for your patience.
Keep an eye on your email for a shipping notification. I was waiting on a couple things to arrive, so I'm ready to start shipping. I still have one thing I'm waiting on but only a few of you are affected by that.
I had initially expected to get this stuff out in January, but that was a little optimistic. I sincerely apologize for the delays. Some of them were my own fault. Lesson learned. There's a lot of moving parts and we're dealing with two different printers (although I won't be dealing with one of them after this).
Everything looks great though!
Be sure to check out the landing page for Vault of the Murderworm, our second book in the Heroic Adventure! series of modules for DCC RPG. We're working with Bob Brinkman again and Carlos Castilho on interior art. This one is a 0-level funnel and it's going to be a real blast.
I'm super happy to announce that the proofs are in for the hardbacks and they look fantastic.
I mentioned the softcover books in my last update but didn't include a pic so I'll start there.
Regular and Alternate covers for Evil Never Dies
I'm extremely happy with how these turned out and the full order has been placed. Fulfillment begins as soon as they arrive.
Next up is the hardcover. We had a slight delay on these because the printer we planned on using had a MOQ (minimum order quantity) that we didn't hit so we had to change printers and reformat a few things, but the end result is good. I'm very happy with how they turned out.
Hardcover Deluxe Edition
Aside from just looking great, this hardcover deluxe edition contains a number of accessibility features like enlarged text, zoomed in map chunks per encounter, full 2-page map spreads, and more art. It's really quite nice.
Zoomed in map chunks, enlarged text
two page map spreads
More art!
And for those of you also waiting on KINLESS, all books have been ordered and shipping will commence as soon as they arrive. Next couple months are going to be busy busy.
Given the interesting times we're going through, I'm wondering if you can hold off on shipping mine (to Canada) until the tariff war settles out. As eager as I am to get this fantastic looking book (and the zines), I'd rather not be hit by another $25 in tariffs! (though, not sure if it's feasible for you to micromanage shipping).
MORE DIGITAL DOWNLOADS Sorry for the delay. I had a heck of a time figuring out why some of you didn't get the digital download email, but I think I have it sorted out without spamming everyone with a second download link (for those who got the first one.)
Everyone should have gotten an email (either this time or last time, but not both) to download the Evil Never Dies standard PDF.
Additionally, if you backed a pledge level that include the Deluxe Hardback edition (or added it as an add-on) you should have gotten an email for that as well. Not everyone gets that email.
I'll be uploading the printable map images as well tonight. So expect an email for those.
PRINTING UPDATE We went with a different printer for this project, and encountered some layout issues during the proof process (seems like every printer we deal with wants things a different way). We got all those issue sorted out and approved the digital proof. We did a small test run to make sure the physical books look as good as the digital proof, and I expect to see those late this week or early next. Once those are approved I'll hit the button for the full blown order. Same for the Hardback editions. The poster maps are already here and look great.
HEROIC ADVENTURE! #2 - VAULT OF THE MURDERWORM Early work has begun on the next module in the Heroic Adventure! series: Vault of the Murderworm.
Vault of the Murderworm - Cover by Billy Blue
Bob Brinkman is returning as designer and Brett Hess will be handling cartography again. Carlos Castilho will be handling interior art for this book and Raven is returning for layout. Cover art by Billy Blue and alternate cover art by Waclaw Traier.
Vault of the Murderworm - Alternate Cover by Waclaw Traier
(I just noticed "Murderworm" should be 1 word not 2 in the title, but this is just an early mockup, so I'm going to let it slide for now.)
Once the signup page is live (soon) I'll let everyone know.
