Project Update: Another award nomination: CRIT Award voting!
Hi all,
I know I just asked you to consider voting for Song of the Scryptwyrm as part of the 2026 ENNIE Awards, but I'm back to ask again because Song of the Scryptwyrm is now also a finalist nominee for the 2026 CRIT Awards for Best Solo Game!
Like the ENNIEs, once the nominees are identified, the CRIT Award final results are decided by community voting. If you have enjoyed Song of the Scryptwyrm, please consider voting for it again.
Thank you so much for your support,

Project Update: A Request: ENNIE Award Voting for Song of the Scryptwyrm
Hi all,
I'm excited to announce that Song of the Scryptwyrm is a nominee for the 2026 ENNIE Award for Best Solo Game!
The ENNIEs are one of the biggest awards in tabletop roleplaying games, and while a panel of judges determines the nominees, the final results are decided by community voting. If you have enjoyed Song of the Scryptwyrm, please consider voting for it. It only takes a minute and every vote truly matters.
Voting is live from July 10 through July 19: https://vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2026/#/vote/2026/ballot.php?category_id=20
Thank you so much for your support,

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: International Games Month
Greetings!
It's November, and that means it's International Games Month, an initiative run by volunteers from around the world to reconnect communities through their libraries around the educational, recreational, and social value of all types of games.
This is my second year donating games to support this cause, and thanks to your generosity as backers, I was able to send bundles containing both The Librarian's Apprentice and Song of the Scryptwyrm to 32 participating libraries! I was also able to get MARC records created for both games, which are the electronic cataloging records, so that it's easier for libraries to add these games to their collections. (If you'd like to learn more about library cataloguing and bibliographic data as it relates to TTRPGs, there's a good Skeleton Code Machine article about it right here: Help libraries add your game to their collection.)
Thanks again for all your support!

Project Update: Fulfillment Status
Hi all,
I've now shipped all copies of Song of the Scryptwyrm and The Librarian's Apprentice that were successfully paid for. If you pledged at a physical tier, you should have an email from BackerKit informing you that the tracking information for your package is available. As a side note, I've discovered that some tracking numbers are not showing correctly, but the links to the tracking information appear to still be working.
If you do not have tracking information in BackerKit, please double-check that you completed the BackerKit pledge manager survey and that your credit card was successfully charged. If those were both already done, please let me know so I can look into it for you. You can reach me at [email protected].
If you are to receive the bonus postcard for backing physical copies of both Song of the Scryptwyrm and TTRPGkids' Greeting Games, please be aware that it will arrive in your shipment from TTRPGkids rather than in the package from me.
And finally, with the fulfillment largely complete, I'm going to stop providing monthly updates. From here on out, you'll only see updates as I finish the bonus extras, when the library copies are donated, and if something exciting happens related to Song of the Scryptwyrm / The Librarian's Apprentice (e.g., translations, a new game, awards).
Thank you once again for all your support. I'm delighted with how the book turned out and I hope you are as well!

Project Update: Shipping charge correction & locking addresses
Hi all,
My apologies; I managed to tick a wrong box that resulted in you being charged VAT and taxes for shipping. I've now corrected that, so you should see a refund for the extra charge. I'm afraid it may take 5 to 10 days for it to show up, but it's in the works.
Also, if you need to update your shipping address, now is the time. Those will be locking down shortly, at which point I can start getting books out the door!
If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out either here or via [email protected]
Thank you!
