Here's a quick update on timelines.

Hey everyone,

Sorry for the lack of reply. I thought I posted an update with updated timelines, but I forgot to send it. That's my bad.

Just to keep you in the loop, I'm working on three sets of content this month (October), all of which are stuff owed on Backerkit. Negative Energy Plane is nearly complete. I keep flip flopping on a few elements, but the bulk's complete. If you're a patron, you've likely seen me posting slivers of the main adventure, Thirteen Nails in the Mouth of God all throughout this month. And if you've seen the monsters on Instagram, those are getting tossed in as a bonus PDF as a way of thanking you for your patience.

Just Passing Through (another Backerkit) is near complete, so all of that time spent working on that is snowballing into here.

Horror is shipping its books now. I'm still owed two small ones there, but at least have the main books in those folks' hands.

Since all of these elements are printing in the US except for the dice which I've had since the campaign ended, it won't be long to have 'em printed and shipped. I'll make sure to have at least one of the smaller books out by the end of this week and than the main book out in early October. If that changes, I'll post here.

I'm sure no one wants an excuse

Thanks again for your continued patience!

Hey all,

Sorry for the confusion last month. There were a few inhouse changes we had to get squared away before we could start taking shipping addresses.

Anyways, we're still looking at end of this month/early September for PDF drop and shipping.

If you have a shipping address update, please send me the request to [email protected]

Thanks everyone!

June 2026 Update
5 months ago – Wed, Jun 03, 2026 at 09:44:18 AM

Hello everyone!

First off, thank you all for your patience and support. We know this project has taken longer than expected, and we sincerely apologize for the delays. Over the last several months, we’ve spent a lot of time reorganizing our workflow and getting our production pipeline into a more manageable state. Progress is still slower than we’d like, but we are moving forward steadily.

For Guide to the Negative Energy Plane, I decided to go back through portions of the material and revise it to make the book more manageable, usable, and cohesive overall. We also commissioned new artwork from our friends Nacho and Matias, which also added some additional production time.

This project is a little behind as a result, but there are only a handful of major pieces left before we can move into printing.

Like several of our other projects, printing will be handled in the United States, so once files are finalized the turnaround should be fairly quick. In the meantime, we also hope to provide some additional bonus content for backers while we finish everything up.

Thank you again for your continued patience and support. If anyone needs additional assistance, please contact Aubrey at [email protected].
