Project Update: PDFs Distributed!

Hello Purple Planet backers!

Here's a brief update for you on a couple subjects.

PDF Files Distributed


We have sent out the PDF files for almost the entire project. You should see them in BackerKit now - Tome of Adventure volume 1, 2, 3, and 4 being the main enchilada. One or two files are still straggling in (specifically DCC #107) so we will add those as they are completed. 

DCC Core Rulebooks, Variant Covers


Several fans asked for photos of the special DCC core rulebooks that are part of this project. Ask and you shall receive!

Here are some photos of the advance copies. They turned out great. Erol Otus's artwork is always a thing to behold, and the purple foil on that cover logo really highlights his work. The demon skull edition is fantastic as well, especially with the subtle reflective rainbow hue on the gold foil. It looks great in photos, but you really have to see it in person and rotate it in bright light to fully appreciate it.

These copies are still in the shrink wrap, BTW, so you'll see a bit of reflection. Must keep them pristine!




Shipping Costs for Select International Markets


We discovered a calculation error in the postage matrix for Australia, New Zealand and Denmark. Thanks to all the fans who asked about their postage for those countries. The tables are now fixed so residents of those markets should see reduced charges now. If your credit card was already charged, a refund will be processed soon.

Fulfillment Status


The books are on the way and we are awaiting delivery with bated breath! As soon as we have a solid delivery date we'll provide an estimate on fulfillment status.


Indie DCC Crowdfunding Right Now


Here are some indie DCC crowdfunding projects by our friends. Goodman Games doesn't make anything on these referrals. We just want to share out some cool projects out there. (Like if you ever needed a D13 or D19... or you always wanted to see monsters illustrated from childrens' nightmares...)

Fight your way through a horde of invading demons to become the Horseman of the Apocalypse and pass Final Judgement on a world!


Yes, really - a 19-sided die, a 9-sided die, a 15-sided die...check it out!!


Live now on BackerKit! Play a goblin in DCC RPG!



Live now on Kickstarter! A huge collection of an adventures for DCC RPG and other systems!


Coming soon: a zine of monsters for DCC RPG - created by children!



And coming next from Goodman Games...


Our huge boxed set of underdeep adventure, crowdfunding in Spring 2025. Follow now for earlybird rewards!

Project Update: Pledge Manager Shipping Costs Assessed

Hello, Purple Planet hordes!

Just a quick update that we have applied shipping charges in the pledge manager. 

Because we are braving new ground in how we fulfill this project, applying the shipping charges is more of a milestone than it may seem. Remember that we are working with a fulfillment company who is going to fulfill all the Purple Planet crowdfunding projects in the same box. So if you pledged for Purple Planet books from more than one publisher, they'll all arrive in the same box. This means backers who supported multiple projects will effectively save money on postage. Fewer boxes shipped = fewer stamps required!

If you log into your pledge manager, you will now see the shipping charges. You have about 48 hours until those charges are actually applied to your card. If you see anything you need to change, please email [email protected] and we can help you with it. (At this point the main pledges are locked but with some special TLC we can work out most exceptions.) 

P.S. The boat full of Purple Planet is on its way here!! We will let you know when the fulfillment process begins.

I pledged for the Tome of Adventure 4, but all of this stuff is listed as well, but I have no idea what any of them are, and I cannot find a description for any of them. What are these things? How can I find out? Crown of Stars Death Orm Swarm Purple Planet Stretch Goal Pack Glyphs of the Purple Planet

PROJECT UPDATE

Project Update: Advance copies in hand!

Hi everyone,
 
Greetings from the Purple Planet! This update has some big news: we have advance copies of the books in hand! More details on that below!
 
Pledge Manager
 
As you know, the pledge manager for this Purple Planet project also includes all the other indie DCC Purple Planet projects. As backers, you have already selected your add-ons. We are currently in the process of calculating all the shipping charges. It’s slightly more complex than usual since the calculations cross multiple projects. Backers will benefit via lower shipping charges, especially if you backed more than one project, since they’ll all arrive in one box. We’re a week or two away from finalizing these calculations. Then we will charge shipping and lock orders, so we are ready for fulfillment the instant the boat lands.
 
Video Preview of Advance Copies
 
The printing process is complete! The printer has FedExed us advance copies of the project books. These are literally “the first books off the press.” Here is a video showing off just how awesome they look.

Hello, Have the PDFs/digital rewards been sent out to backers yet? I haven't seen anything and want to make sure that I haven't missed the location of the downloads. If they haven't been sent out, when can we expect to receive the PDFs? I'm itching to start gaming on the Purple Planet!
