Project Update: These updates are getting harder

It was easier to make today's update as a video.

I... can't really explain it.

Project Update: Wow, that was fast

Great news! The minis are done and making their way towards us. That means it's time for the pledge manager. I started the smoke test today, meaning a select few folks got their surveys. If you are one of those folks, do me a favor - KEEP QUIET ABOUT WHAT YOU SEE! It's meant to be a surprise. 😈

This campaign has been... weird. I haven't been sleeping well. I've had strange dreams, but I never remember what they are when I wake up. I just keep having this feeling that it'll get better once I get these cursed things out the door, but we'll see. 

Okay, that's it for now. I'll keep you all posted!

Project Update: Pledge Manager coming soon, Files being sent to printer, PDF delivery

Hello everyone!

A quick update on what's happening now and what's coming up.

Pledge Manager Survey

We expect to have the Pledge Manager Survey out to backers in the next couple of weeks. We have been working with our BackerKit rep as they set up the group shipping pledge manager, which is more complex than a normal one. They just us know that their work is done and we are now able to start our part. We will send out another update close to the end of the month with an update on the progress and ETA for surveys being sent. 

Manufacturing and PDF Delivery

All files are complete for all components and we are finalizing quotes with manufacturers. We expect production to start on the books next month. Manufacturing for the other components will begin shortly after that.

As soon as the Pledge Manager Surveys are sent out we will also send out PDFs via BackerKit. No need for orders to be locked or cards charged!

Project Update: July Update: Files are Complete!

Hello!

We're back with the July update: the book has been created! I sent the files to the printer today to start the proofing process. By the end of the week, I expect to have placed the order so that they can start printing.

Otherwise, there's not much to say. We're still on schedule with our original timeline, so fingers crossed there are no major issues in proofing/printing/shipping. I'll be back next month with another update.

BackerKit Surveys!

We are at 95% completion on the pledge manager surveys, which is great! If you haven't filled yours out (or if you aren't sure), head over to https://ootil-ose.backerkit.com/ to check.

Thank you for your support!

Project Update: EU Shipping Update

Greetings Lost Souls!

I just finished a very productive meeting with Mudknight Media and I have great news for our backers in the EU.

Mudknight Media is going to complete HELLCRAWL fulfillment. What this means for you right now is that you will notice that the cost of shipping has gone done to $14.90 USD. This means you will enjoy lower costs, no VAT, and faster delivery.

The cost of shipping to the EU from the US has weighed heavily on me for years. It's always bothered me. I am grateful for the support you have all given me over the years and I am really happy I can cut this expense for you.

Over the next few months Mudknight Media will also distribute The Painted Wastelands and other Agamemnon Press products to European game stores. So hopefully, you will get to see more of our products out there in the wild.

You Don't Need To Do Anything
I haven't charged credit cards yet (expect this in September). The shipping fee is simply lower now. This will also be the case for future projects from Agamemnon Press. I will simply send some of the books from the printer to Mudknight Media and they'll handle the rest. 

Big shout out to Plus One EXP and Tony Vasinda who I really owe this victory to. I had a meeting with a fulfillment company from Germany last week that completely imploded because they were annoyed that I was not selling more books. Tony put me in touch with Mudknight Media and for that I'm grateful. 

The art on HELLCRAWL continues at a blinding pace and I'm about to head off to GenCon next week!

Project Update: New Shadowdark Project!

Hello friends,

While we are waiting for all the hell books to ship from Exalted Funeral, we at Parallel Dimension Gaming have been busy!  We have two new editions of our Shadowdark 'zine funding over on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pdgaming/parallel-shadows-volumes-2-and-3?ref=1mrryc).  Each volume includes one full adventure and a lot of gaming ideas and articles for your Shadowdark or old-school fantasy game.  If you're interested, please head over and check them out—we're pretty excited for these two horror adventures by Casey Christofferson and all the accompanying art and articles.

This KS is for volumes 2 & 3, but we still have a few print copies of V. 1 available and the PDF is also available as an add-on (in case you missed V. 1, Highway over the Mountain).

Cheers!
Edwin and the PDF crew.

Project Update: HELLBLASTER: Against the Cyberfiends Production Update

Hello fiends and fiend-slayers!

Just popping out from our pocket-realm in Netherspace for a little update! We’ve been hard at work and are very excited to unleash the cyberfiends very soon!

Here’s where we’re at right now:

Main product:
Adventure is written and laid out: 76 pages of demonic cyber-fantasy. We’ve had many an evil cackle creating it, I’m sure you will running it!

We’re still putting the finishing touches on the artwork, including some nice new maps. When they are ready, the PDFs will be sent to you—and the printers. Check below for a little teaser!

We’ll be coordinating with Exalted Funeral for the distribution and shipping, with deliveries of physical copies still expected for Q1 2027.

Stretch goals:
Set of 8 pre-gens in development, should be finished after the main adventure goes to print and released immediately when ready.
We’ve had interest from some great musical talent for the soundtrack, along with some exciting samples. Putting together the soundtrack will start after we’ve gone to print (and summer touring is over for some contributors), with an expected ETA that coincides with print fulfillment in Q1 2027.

Thanks again for joining us in this fantastic event. We can’t wait to get this to your gaming tables!

Nick 
Writer, Bloodstar Productions

Project Update: Print Copies Update

Hello everyone,

Just a little update to keep everyone in the loop.

PRINT COPIES
The zine and stickers have been printed! Because this project is part of the demon month group shipping, I’ve had to seal them all together in a plastic sleeve. Just to ensure you all get all 3 stickers and your zine, fresh and unharmed as it makes its way across the globe.



I’m really happy with how it turned out. Now it will make its way to the various fulfilment centres in the US, UK, EU and AUS. As far as I am aware, shipping is still scheduled for January 2027.

GIVE ME A REVIEW
Now that all backers have been given access to the PDF version of the adventure, I’ve put it up on both my itch.io page, as well as DTRPG.
It would be amazing if you guys could jump on those pages and leave a comment with your thoughts and reviews. It would be greatly appreciated!



VTT CONTENT
Apologies for the delay with this delivery. I started digging myself a little deep. Not only did I want to give clean copies of the wolf and workshop dungeons, but I wanted a clear profile image for each NPC and MONSTER. I’m halfway through, and will post when I have done.

Thanks again for everyone’s support. Can’t wait for you to get your hands on these.
