Project Update: Less than TWO DAYS left... unbelievable!
Hey Everyone,
I hope all of you that celebrate Thanksgiving had a good one. I spent some time with friends and family and managed to keep my promise to not do any work at all, which was really nice.
But now it's after midnight, so I'm back at it again. I want to tell everyone Thank You again. Your support on this project really means a lot to all of us. YOU are what brought this from a cool idea to a real product, so thank you!
I updated the timeline / checklist as more stuff comes in. Things are still looking really good, as you can see below. If it has a dot next to it, it's done.

- The manuscript is complete.
- Additional content from Stretch Goal #1 (Bob) is complete.
- Additional art from Stretch Goal #2 (Dan) is complete.
- Alternate Art Cover from Stretch Goal #4 & 5 (Brett) is complete.
Additional Art from Stretch Goal #6 (Dan) is in progress, to be done by early December. - Additional content from Stretch Goal #7 (Bob) is complete.
- Editing and review process is complete.
Layout process is in progress, to be done by early December.
Post-Layout review can take up to a week. Files hit printer by mid-December.
Digital fulfillment happens when files go to the printer by mid-December. - Cover art and interior art are complete.
- All 4 maps (3 + SG#1) by Bob are complete.
- Map #1 (Crypt of the Chrono-lich) final art is complete.
- Map #2 (The Holding of Elaro the Necromancer) final art is complete.
- Map #4 (Merchant Guild of Emerson) final art is complete.
- Map #4 (The Town of Emerson) final art is complete.
Poster maps should be at the printer by mid-December.
We expect everything to be complete on our end by mid-December.
Turnaround time on printing could be as little as 2 weeks or as long as 5 weeks. (We won't know until we submit the files to them.) Fulfillment will begin immediately after receiving the printed books and maps.
I'm working on getting the BackerKit Pledge Manager set up. It's not hard, but it IS time consuming. Lots of little things to configure and of course there's postage to calculate. BackerKit doesn't do that for us, so I need to look up each country that has backers and manually calculate the shipping by weight and enter it all in. The plan is to have that done early next week.
We still feel reasonably confident that we could start fulfillment in January.
That's all for now, so I'll get back to it.
Thank you again,
Chris
