This afternoon I pulled the trigger on releasing the Bugstiary PDF.

My intent is to let you guys read all three for the coming week, letting you make comments, ask any questions, and point out any errata the proofing team missed.

I hope to collect all mistakes, fix, and order the print copies on Dec 16; arrival would likely be the first week of the New Year.

In the meantime, I'll get crackin' on the cards and VTT entries. Getting that into printable state will hopefully only take the week as well, and I'd place the print order shortly thereafter; it's a small order maybe 175 decks total, so hopefully before the end of January, maybe significantly before.

By then I'm reasonably sure I'll also have the print versions of the companions; I already have all the Boxed Sets and Monsters 2 hardcopies I need.

So stay tuned, and I'll get to a hard date for fulfillment start when I  have more info!

Oh, one more thing: Once all the errors come in, and the manuscript is completely final, I will push the "special cartoon cover" freebies out to everyone, and simultaneously release one final version of each of the three books, consolidating the mess that is the current layer structure into the minimum required for utility. The layers will allow the PDF to turn OFF the light-colored background and the art in order to save ink if you print it yourself. Layer structure is likely something like:

I think that'll do it.
