Project Update: Long Awaited Sayuri's Update
Previously backed this creator's crowdfunding project
It is now November 2024, the funds were collected months ago, yet there is no update as to an ETA for delivery. Still outstanding from the "We Wish You a Merry One Shot!" BackerKit project: - Whispers Upon the Waves PDF (Add-on) - A Wraithmas Carol PDF (Add-on) - The Frostville Snowman Massacre PDF (Add-on) The creator has not responded to requests for an update, hasn't responded to comments, has not answered inquiries by email, or other social media that are still active. Their Reddit, Discord, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook sites are no longer active or available. There are 2 KickStarter projects that funded, are not completed/delivered, and are no longer updated: "Vagabond's Guide to Dalriada" and "Davian's Treatise of Peoples". The latter's KickStarter page states: "Davian's Treatise of Peoples - NPC Book for DnD 5e is the subject of an intellectual property dispute and is currently unavailable."
Project Update: A Quick Update on Sayuri's
Just wanted to keep you in the loop regarding development for this book.
The magic items are done and the adventure is well under way and is slated to go into editing next week.
We've been slowly chipping away at the magic item art and should be moving into the last few bits of custom art as per the reward tiers soon.
We're on course to publish the PDF by the end of September as planned. If anything changes on that front, however, we'll let you know.
The print books, of which there are only a handful since we wanted to keep them exclusive to those working with us on the art front, will take roughly a further month to process. It depends on how many samples we need to order before we're happy to go ahead with the print job. If the first one comes back as we want it, we'll go straight to print and since we're using a PoD service, you won't have to wait months on shipping. It'll go straight to you from whatever country you're in, unless you're in a country without a printer, in which case you'll have to wait an additional few weeks.
We're excited to see several projects cross the line over the coming weeks.
I'll post another update in September.
Cheers,
Paddy and team Penny Dragon
P.S. if you missed the project, you'll be able to get the book in our store in October/November, so keep an eye out for it on there.
Project Update: Sayuri's Work in Progress
It has been a busy few weeks in Penny Dragon land with a number of other projects all in varying stages of being closed out. This is both pretty darn exciting and a tad overwhelming for a small team of creatives. There's no better feeling than hitting that upload button on a finished project, though!
The writing and art for Sayuri's Chest of Wonders is well underway. The writing for the magic items is complete with a few requiring the final once over. The magic item art with take several more weeks to reach completion on the project as expected.
I just received the latest WIP for our resident Lorekeeper, Alluminora. She features across a number of our publications and Sayuri's Chest is no different. I love that our artist, Liam, has added Sake to this one. He's a sneaky little devil that Sake!
We're looking forward to sharing a few more of the magic item pieces in the coming weeks, too.
The project continues to progress well and we're eager to get some spreads together later in July so you can get a better feel for the finished product.
Enjoy the rest of your week!

Project Update: Surveys Are Out
Your Digital Rewards
Good day, everyone!
Surveys have gone out and all your digital rewards, bar Sayuri's Chest of Wonders, are now on their way to you. Yay!
The art team are working on the magic item pieces at the moment and I will have a few more of those to share with you next week.
There will also be several pieces of art featuring Sake, Sayuri's little luck dragon, featured (hidden) throughout this book. We look forward to seeing who can spot all of them once this one is published. We enjoy bringing a little bit of fun into the things we create and this one is no different.
A Quick Note
Those of you that backed a tier that includes an art submission for your magic item or NPC to be included in Sayuri's Chest will submit your writing via the survey questions. There is a closing date for 1st of July on these so that we can ensure no delays when it comes to getting this project to layout.
Thanks again for the support on Sayuri's!
See you in my next update (next week :)),
Kayleigh & Team Penny Dragon
