I selected the $10 e-book pledge, was charged for the $10 e-book pledge, but have now found out that you added the Tarot Card Set: 7-8 and are to charge me and extra $80 for it. Please explain.

I haven’t seen a response to this issue yet. Pledged for the e-book, and one of the automatically-added bonus items (tarot set) seems to carry an $80 shipping charge. When might we see an update, and will it require new surveys etc? Thanks!

Project Update: Update: Surveys Being Sent Out & UNAVOWED Pre-Launch Link

Hey Everyone,

Thank you for your patience while I setup the Backer Store and got the survey system ready. It's been a crazy two weeks at House Speakman but all good things happening.

Today, I made the final changes that the fine folks at BackerKit suggested for that Backer Store and the surveys. A few moments ago, I sent out the Smoke Test. The Smoke Test is a way to validate whether or not I've done a good job with the store and survey, by only sending a small percentage of surveys out. If there are no issues, then I'll send out all of the surveys to everyone and you'll be able to answer the number/letter questions, purchase add-ons, enter your mailing address, pay for your shipping, etc. And hopefully it is all easy!

Expect more news from me in a day or two about how the Smoke Test goes. And I'll also write you that new continuation of Merle and Snedeker's story by the weekend. Will try to make the Choose The Adventure more challenging too.

Backer Store HERE should be open! I hope!

In other news, I'm excited to share news about Unavowed: New Tales from Masters of Fantasy, the next Grim Oak Press anthology. Click HERE to view more details about it, the authors involved, their story titles, timelines, etc. And be sure to join the PRE-LAUNCH page on Kickstarter if you are so inclined (900+ people have already joined)! It's the best way to stay up to date.

I should be getting my final edits on The Dark Thorn soon from the copyeditor. And this coming week I'm going to have the Map of Annwn printed, to get those shipped out early. Things are moving!

If you have any questions, do reach out. I'm always available. 

With Magic,
Shawn

Has anyone heard anything about when surveys are supposed to be sent out? Last I saw mentioned in an update had July 29th as the anticipated deadline to have them submitted, but as far as I can see, they haven't been sent out yet.

Project Update: Available Monday: The Extra Copies of The King-Killing Queen & The Briar-Sword Monk

Hi Everyone,

On Monday at 2PM ET / 11AM PT, the Grim Oak Press website will make available the remaining copies of The King-Killing Queen and The Briar-Sword Monk. These are set in the same world as The Dark Thorn but the series takes place 400 years before Richard's story. These were crowdfunded over a year ago in partnership with Skybound Entertainment (The Walking Dead) and are made available on Monday for the first time since the crowdfund ended.

Click HERE to see what will be available. If you purchased a limited, lettered, or rare edition of The Dark Thorn, we will be able to match numbers/letters with these books. Though I must warn you: There are only 140 Limited sets, 7 Lettered sets and 2 Rare books available on Monday. First come, first matched.

More news soon! We've begun getting the Map of Annwn posters printed as well as the Fae vs. Templar coin minted! And Don Maitz has flagged 22 scenes he wants to illustration in The Dark Thorn. Guess he'll have a hard time deciding which 15 to do.

See some of you Monday!

The Grim Oak Press Team
