Hail Gunslingers. I wanted to touch base with you all and give you an update on where the Black Tower Hack currently stands. 

Gunslinger's Guide: the final edits are complete, and necessary rewrites are squared away. The artwork is still in progress. I am going to release a 'no art' pre-release version to all backers in the meantime. This will be text complete, but will not be a substitute for the finished product. I would like to at least give you all a version of the game you can take to your tables. You will have this no later than 10/11.

Atlas of the Languishing Lands: Final edits are now complete, and the necessary rewrites are being worked on now. Artwork is still in progress. I will release a no art version of this one by 10/24.

While I can't give an exact date for printing and delivery, it is my goal to ensure everyone has their physical rewards by the end of 2026.

I will fully admit that I underestimated the scope of this project and the timeline has run longer than initially projected. That's on me, and I do apologize for the late delivery on this. Part of the reason for the extended timeline is that it ended up overlapping with another project. I have learned some important lessons from this experience and will strive to avoid a situation like this in the future. Thank you for your patience, and we will talk again soon.
