Project Update: 📚Locking Orders and Charging for Shipping 12/26 - Plus ZINETOPIA DUNGEON - Follow Now! 📚

Wow! 86% of you have completed your surveys. This means one big thing:

We can lock orders tomorrow and charge for shipping on 12/26, allowing us to send out your books right when they arrive, on the first Monday of January.

In the meantime, we have more exciting news - a dungeon Zine for BackerKit's Zinetopia event, available for a limited-time, Backer-exclusive print edition price of only $11 - The Mouth of Mentius!

The Mouth of Mentius is an old-school style, grid-map dungeon. You know the type: Short room descriptions, high action, lethal monsters and lots of loot. And in Witch Pleas fashion, it's heavily inspired by historical myth; Ancient Rome, in this case, crossed with the weird fantasy you'd find in a setting like Barsoom. 

The Mouth of Mentius is written by my wife and co-founder, Gina Funk. She's detailed 73 rooms, with over 15 unique magical items and over a dozen new monsters. Her intention is for the action to be epic, so it's for 4-7 level in Dungeon Crawl Classics. It features art by the awesome Faith Murphree, and comes in print at a limited-time, Backer-exclusive price of $11.

Plus, all followers receive a free intro encounter, downloadable instantly as a PDF. So follow now!

Back to the matter of When the Stars Cried Despair:

For those who appreciate a full breakdown of details, here's our thinking behind charging on 12/26:
  • BackerKit funds take up to 3-5 business days to arrive, though this is sometimes shortened to 1-3. 
  • If we charge on 12/26, this means the latest that the funds for shipping arrive is on Friday, 1/2
  • This means we can buy the postage and materials that day, and pack everything up over the weekend
  • Leading to shipping on Monday, 1/5!

As for recent shipping estimates, they are as follows:

Domestic: $8 for a single item, $10 for two or more items
Canada/Mexico: $30
Overseas: $40

We hope that you agree with this approach. We welcome your feedback either way.

We're eager to get your books to your gaming tables as soon as possible, so that you can dive into the world of epic stakes and rich backstories within When the Stars Cried Despair, setting the stage for our contribution to the Castle Whiterock BackerKit campaign in April,Descent of the Ancient Fane!

Meanwhile, may you have a magical holiday season. We'll be toasting your support and aglow with gratitude for how you've helped us create amazing gaming experiences.

Thank you, happy holidays, and may you have a very happy New Year!
