Top of the morning, folks!

Here I am again with your weekly update, and today we have a major release.

The second of our stretch goals is now available: the first version of the Triple-O Companion App.

I call it an app, but technically you can use it both online and offline. It's just a single HTML file, so if you'd like, you can save it locally and run it on your computer without an internet connection.

I started sketching ideas for this companion app a couple of months ago and explored a few different directions. Then I remembered I had already built something similar with the help of a friend for Weird, Whimsy & Wonder. Rather than reinventing the wheel, I adapted the same framework, fed it with Triple-O's tables, customized the visuals, and added a few new features along the way.

Fun fact: did you know you can make wavy lines with CSS? I certainly didn't. One quick search later and I couldn't resist adding them to the header.

The result is a clean, fast way to access all of Triple-O's tools in one place. You can roll Triple-O Checks (including the Double-Down feature), access all spark and specific tables, jot notes and copy results in a built-in scratchpad, and even manage up to six characters using the integrated Trait Sheets. It's really, really cool.

You can find it on the same Itch.io page as the PDFs. The last "file" in the downloads section is actually a link that takes you to the hosted version.

To make things easier, I'll also include the direct link in the exclusive backer content below this update. For your eyes only. 👀

I'm really excited about this one.

Personally, I still love using the book, rolling physical dice, and scribbling notes on paper. But I know that sometimes you're on the go, playing with limited table space, or simply prefer having everything on a tablet or phone. This gives you another option without replacing the physical experience.

On the physical side of things, copies have started reaching backers.

I've already seen a few photos appearing on social media, and I absolutely love it. If your copy arrives and you feel like sharing it, please tag me. Seeing something that started as an idea on my desk show up in the real world never gets old.

If your copy hasn't arrived yet, don't worry. Fulfillment is still underway. There may be a slight slowdown this week as Critical Kit is attending UKGE, but shipments should continue moving through the next phases starting next week.

> About Customs Fees

I've also received a few reports from European backers regarding customs clearance fees. In principle, those charges should not be happening. VAT has already been paid by us, and there shouldn't be any additional fees due upon delivery.

Unfortunately, postal services occasionally misclassify shipments or incorrectly apply charges. When that happens, we're handling cases individually and working with Critical Kit to resolve them as quickly as possible. I know it's frustrating when it occurs, but please know we're doing our best to make sure everything arrives smoothly.

Finally, a quick note regarding the color PDF without the beige background that I released last week.

It was kindly pointed out to me (thanks, Phil!) that the table of contents was completely broken. I've fixed the issue and uploaded a corrected version. All bookmarks and internal links should now work properly. If you're using that version, feel free to download it again from Itch.io.

That's all I have for today.

I hope you enjoy the companion app, and I wish you a wonderful weekend.

Talk soon,

Morning, folks.

I’m pleased to announce that shipping of the Triple-O zines has officially begun.

Some packages have already gone out in this first phase, and tracking numbers should start appearing soon through the BackerKit backend. That means some of you may start receiving your copies very soon 👀

If you don't receive yours just yet, don’t worry—we definitely haven’t forgotten about you. Fulfillment happens in phases, and over the next few weeks the team will continue carefully packaging orders, sorting add-ons, and making sure everything reaches all corners of the world safely and correctly.

But rest assured: things are very much moving.

On the digital side of things, I have two updates for you as well.

First, one of you requested a version of the zine without the beige page background. I thought that was a great idea, so I went ahead and added it.

This version keeps all the artwork and color elements intact, but uses a plain white page background instead. It’s a nice middle ground for people who still want to print the zine in color at home while saving a good amount of ink coverage.

Second, the tables-only document has now been updated to include:

These were previously only available on the bookmark version.

Both updated files are already live on Itch.io. As usual, you do not need a new link or access code. Just use the same page you already claimed before, head to your downloads, and the new files should be waiting for you there. You’ll probably also receive an automatic update email from Itch shortly.

That’s all for today.

I appreciate you all very much, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Take care,
—Cezar

Greetings, everyone.

I have excellent news to share with you.

Guess what’s inside those big boxes?

Yep. You guessed it.

Triple-O has arrived at the warehouse! Check it out:

Shipment procedures have officially begun, which is incredibly exciting.

Now, I do have one important favor to ask:

->> Please make sure you completed your survey.

At the time of writing, we still have 53 backers who haven’t completed theirs, and 14 shipping payments that were declined during processing. Please take a moment to double-check your information and make sure everything is in order.

If you missed the survey email, don’t worry. You can use this link, enter your email address, and BackerKit will resend it to you.

Not only does this help make sure your zine reaches you safely, but it also helps speed up fulfillment logistics for everyone else as we move through the shipping process.

And seriously… the zines turned out gorgeous. I’m really, really happy with the final result, and I can’t wait for you all to get them in your hands!

If you missed the physical version during the campaign and are reconsidering it now, the pre-order store is still open.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments below.

Thank you once again for your support, and have an incredible weekend!

Take care,

Greetings, everyone

I come today with a packed update.

Since I was already working on the Trait Sheets and the printer-friendly version, I decided to go a bit further and prepare a few extra files that I think many of you will enjoy.

Here’s everything included in this update:

No new links are required.

Just use the same Itch.io link you already claimed before. If I previously sent you a custom access link due to any hiccups, that same link will continue to work as well.

Simply head to your downloads page and grab the updated files.

And as always, if you run into any problems, feel free to reply to this email or leave a comment below and I’ll help you sort it out.

I hope you enjoy the extras!

Take care,
–Cezar
