We continue to edit, sensitivity read, and format the book so it is ready for print. The Tarot deck is also nearing completion, with just four cards left to finish. Once everything is complete, we will be able to share more concrete timelines, shipping estimates, and final shipping costs.
At this point, if you ordered a version of the book, you should have received a link to a raw, unedited version of the PDF via Itch.io and DriveThruRPG. If you have not received your link, please email us at [email protected], and we will get that sorted for you.
⚙️ Design Update
With the core book written and currently in editing, we have shifted focus to new content. Several subclasses are already in development and will be part of upcoming releases.
Once the final PDF is complete and the books are sent to print, we will begin rolling out this new content through our Patreon.
As a reminder, once you have had time with the raw PDF, join us on Discord to share your thoughts and discuss the rules, setting, and overall design.
🎨 Art Update
Adam has completed the illustration of Madame Rose and Esten Skye. He is now moving on to several additional key characters. The extra time in production has allowed us to include more artwork in the final book, which we are very excited about.
Madame Rose
Esten Skye, The Marquis
Luana continues work on the Tarot Deck. All Major Arcana cards are now complete. She is currently adapting some of Adam’s character illustrations into the Court cards for the Minor Arcana.
