Alright folks, I have listened to the majority and the servitors of the Petty Gods are being featured in their own Appendix!  As previously promised, here are a couple of the critters in the book to sate your appetite:

While working on writing and layout, I came upon a question. Should the  heralds and minions of the petty gods be in a section in the appendices, like the gods themselves, or in the general creature section of the book? I am leaning toward including them along with the other creatures, but I would like to see what you all think. Please leave your answer in the comments below.

Thank you!

Update For the Sake of Updating

Hello all. Just updating on what is going on at this time.

• Monies were received a couple weeks back and Evlyn has been paid her share.
• Writing is progressing, though the additional pages added through stretch goals far outnumber what was originally planned! It's a good problem to have.
• So far the print cost have not gone up since the KS ended, so that is good.
• I am seeing printing of books from other Kickstarters that I had backed moving lead times out and sometimes not having paper stock to print the project, delaying things further. I am not concerned about this YET as the additional writing, layout and editing have put us at a mid to late fall printing, rather than a late summer one as originally planned. Hopefully printer issues will be resolved by that time. We can keep our fingers crossed.
• One of my upcoming updates should include a few sample page layouts of creatures, so you can get excited about that if you like!

That's all for now. Thank you all!

Early June Update

Alright folks,

Not a lot to report at this point. We had several of our backers fall through the cracks with payment at the end, which would technically put us below the stretch goal of sewn binding, but we are going ahead with it on this printing anyway.

Base on reports I am seeing about longer lead times with printers right now, due to supply chain and worker issues, I am going to say that this KS will definitely move beyond the September deadline, even if I get everything to the printer "on time" based on the original timeline before we quadrupled the length of the book. 

I am in an "organization" phase with the project as I choose which pieces from Evlyn (outside of the initial 24) that I will be stating. She has put out some very nice pieces over the past few weeks that were not available when we kicked off, and they have replaced other pieces. I will share some of the entries here as we progress!

Thank you,

Ryan Thompson

Thank you all!

We have funded! Everyone will be getting the book and 2 zines in digital and physical backers will also get physical copies of each. This started out as a 48 page soft cover manual and now looks like it will actually clock in around 160 pages in hardback with sewn binding! I'm happy that we hit the sewn binding stretch goal, as it really adds a good deal of value and endurance to the book. 

All of this said, now for the initial bad news. With all of the additional material that has to be written on top of what I have complete now, we may be a month or two later on shipping than the September target. I will be doing what I can to ensure that doesn't happen, but it is a possibility and I want to be transparent about that now. The main book has nearly quadrupled in size through your stretch goals! In the end, we are going to have a much better product.  

Thank you again for your support!
