Do you hear that? The jingling bells and cavorting laughter? That’s a portentous omen! The holiday herald is fast approaching! We better be quick and squeeze out one last project update, before the Gleeman comes to spirit us away, to long nights of grin-splitting merriment and coma-inducing feasts.
Ways and Means Preview PDF Available Now!
The team have worked like absolute monsters the last few months with one goal in mind: get a preview PDF of Ways and Means sent out to backers before the holiday break. We weren’t quite sure if we could manage it, but I’m glad to announce that we did!
Everyone who has a physical or pdf copy of Ways and Means in their pledge should now (or shortly after this goes live) be able to download an advanced preview copy of the book.

Please keep the following in mind when reading the preview pdf!
It’s still a work in progress: We have several rounds of polish to complete in terms of layout, grammar, and minor content tweaks.
You can help: If you spot anything that seems wrong, especially in terms of grammar and content (statblocks or mechanics that don’t make sense) you can help us make sure the book is as solid as possible by submitting them to our public errata form here: https://forms.gle/1YXb9h62m3egLgBbA
We’re on holiday: Shortly after posting this, the RRD team are taking a well deserved rest for the festive season. That means we might not be able to answer questions or resolve issues as fast as we normally would. Normal customer service will resume from January 5th.
With that in mind, enjoy!
Two Different Fancy Editions
If you voted last time in our poll for which Very Fancy version of Heart you’d like - thank you! Roughly speaking, half of you were into the blue-and-red Echo edition, while the other half were excited about the new yellow-and-black Hive edition. We’ve got some great news: you’re going to be able to choose. We will have a limited number of the Echo edition available alongside the new Hive edition, and if you choose a pledge that includes a special edition, you’ll be given the option to pick your favourite in the new year. That will mean, in early January, your surveys will be reset so you can pick, and we’ll email you individually to make sure we’ve got your choice correct and all the details we need. We’ll also be making the Hive edition available for folks who might be tempted by the new design - that’ll be in our next update.
The Gleeman Cometh
Oh no, our time is up! The Gleeman is here! Time for us to rest and prepare for the new year.
From everyone at RRD, we hope you have a lovely holiday.
