I'm back with your weekly update of what's new and exciting in the world of Awaiting the Burning Gods!
New Art!
One of the advantages of crowd funding projects like these is how it enables me to work with awesome artists and Daniel Vega does not disappoint. Each week more of his work lands in my inbox and his latest piece is no exception. Here’s a preview of his psychedelic and slightly horrific vision of the vast, ruined city on Ma’at. I love how it captures the awe-inspiring scale and mystery of the adventure and hope you all dig it too.
The ruins beneath the memorial vault
Now some exciting news: we’ve unlocked the custom dice stretch goal! Inspired by the unique dice we created for the Nirvana on Fire: Extended Edition box set, DAI and I are brainstorming designs for this set— with Panda Game's ability to make completely custom faces we're thinking of incorporating some of the iconography from the zine or maybe going classic with a black and marbled gold effect to evoke the ancient ruins of Ma'at and their hidden treasures. If you have't seen them before, here's a photo of the Nirvana on Fire dice for a sneak peek at what you can expect.

We’re just shy of unlocking the Audio Aids stretch goal. Check out the poll below to share what you're most excited to see included in the package and have your voice heard (get it, 'cause it's an audio achievement... ok, ok, I'll see myself out).
Shipping Estimates Posted
Updated shipping information is now live on the campaign page with price estimates for all world regions. I've been working hard behind the scenes to secure the best rates I can for this project and I'm happy with where we've landed. As stated on the main page, I'm proud to be partnered with Flying Cloud (USA, ROW) and Compose Dream Games (Canada, UK, EU) for reliable fulfillment for this project. Lastly, a quick reminder that all shipping prices are listed in CAD first, followed by USD.
What’s Next? Smuggler’s Guide Zine
Looking ahead, we’re just $25K away from unlocking a standalone Smuggler’s Guide zine for every physical pledge. Help the campaign reach this milestone by sharing it with your friends and fellow tabletop lovers far and wide.
That's all for this week, thanks as always for being a part of this journey and see you all in the comments!
This is the big one! The Smuggler’s Guide becomes its own zine, featuring “Shoot the Messenger”, a thrilling bonus adventure by DG Chapman (Haunting of Ypsilon 14, Another Bug Hunt).
Goal: C$100,000 reached! — We did it! This project reached this goal!
