I was able to finalize the INTO THE DARK pdf which was put on BACKERKIT and DTRPG on the same day--which I thought that was very clever. However, BACKERKIT needed a 2 day lock BEFORE any PDFs could be delivered. So alas it was a little odd to see on DTRPG before you got your PDF in BACKERKIT. This was NOT an issue for the ILLUMINATION PAD (which is only on BACKERKIT, not on DTRPG)

The printing will be done by end of JUNE/early JULY. Shipping should start soon afterwards.

Things are moving relatively smoothly on this project—but nonetheless, it is a difficult time in the industry for publishers, gamemakers, and printers. My work, my world, and Studio 9 Games (which is more than this project) is quite challenged right now. I bring this up so you can find as much patience as possible for us and the other creators or projects you are backing. If things are slow, a bit awkward, or stained its because this creative process is happening through a VERY overwhelmed and overworked industry that just got harder to navigate and is shifting dramatically.

But we are a creative community, so this will all evolve into a higher level of resourcefulness and product!

Keep gaming, and hope to see you at the CONS.
