>>> WHAT'S MISSING?
We still have to deliver the Soundtrack, Solo Rules and Third Party License The ETA for all of these is by the end of the year. The Alchemy VTT module is also stil work in progress, we'll let you know an ETA as soon as we have one!
>>> PRODUCTION AND SHIPPING
Unfortunately we had some trouble during the production process, so shipping will be slightly delayed.
Twilight Sword is a strange book with a custom ratio and it's something entirely different from what we've done in the past. After many attempt to getting it just right, ultimately we weren't happy with the final prototype and had to make the difficult decision to change factory. This decision pushed us back of about 6-8 weeks, but it also allowed us to make the best Twilight Sword possible.
Currently we have a wonderful prototype in our hands, and we are extremely proud of how it came out. Now Twilight Sword is exactly how we envisioned it, and we're happy that we decided to take the time to start over with a different factory, rather than rushing it to deliver on time. We understand that many of you will be unhappy with the delayed shipping, and for that we apologize sincerely, but we also trust that you will appreciate our decision one you have these marvelous books in your hands!
>>>>>> NEW ETA: The original plan was to SHIP by the end of June, given the current circumstances we are confident that we'll be able to start shipping at the end of August. On a positive note, the books are already in production and many of the components are ready, so there should be no other issue going forward!
Thanks for reading through all of this, and for the tremendous amount of love, support, and kindness you send our ways. We truly appreciate it!
Raxa, the Pink Fairy, is here to bless you with the BETA version of Lands of Radia. Now, this is going to be a rather long update, so please sit back and enjoy the art show

WAY OF THE BLADE by Daniela Giubellini
GOOD NEWS FIRST:
The good news is that we will deliver the BETA PDF of Twilight Sword AND the Starter Set on April 7th. These BETA will be pretty advanced, with some maybe some typos left to find, and some artwork missing. But you can expect the full Twilight Sword experience, including an introductory mini-campaign ready to play.
Another good news is that we're already working at Lands of Radia, so it won't take too long before that book is completed as well.
Another good news is that we're starting to receiving samples from our factories, and everything looks GREAT. We're over the moon with the Twilight Dice and we'll soon show you some photos of everything.
Yet another good news is that we're perfectly on time, and we don't anticipate any major delay in the physical delivery of this project.
NOW ABOUT THE BAD NEWS...
Well, actually there's no bad news (gotcha! :D). Sit tight, and count the day until April 7th when you'll finally be able to claim the Twilight Sword!

I just noticed I had pledged at a lower level than what I had wanted. I believe I likely pledged at this level, with plans to upgrade my pledge later.
Is it too late for me to upgrade to the level I want?
Can we expect some downloadable digital art like what we had for OG, OGA and Household?
It would be nice to have several drawings of each kin in full gear for several "ways / paths"
Like a Pengu way of the song, a Kedi Way of Magic, a groda way of the shield, etc etc
