Shipping: And they're off! The print zines are now available.
Fulfillment
98% of backer orders have been shipped or fulfilled. Yay! You should start receiving prints over the next few weeks.
Everyone should have already received the digital copies of the adventures through DriveThruRPG. If you haven't, please check your DTRPG account messages or your email spam folder. Contact me if you're missing anything!
There are still 11 backers who have errored cards or incomplete address information. Please update now!
The digital trifold adventure I've been working on with Cameron has been playtested to hell and back, but it still needs a bit more work. Those of you who also backed Cameron's Reservoiradventure will get an update and digital download for the darkness dungeon when it's ready.
So long!
Thank you again for your support! You can find me blogging on the interwebs at PuzzleDungeon.com and screaming into the void on bluesky. I've added folks to the mailing list who have requested it—I'll most likely have a post out in the next couple of weeks about what new things I'm working on.
One more thing...
OSE month is coming to a close. I wanted to make sure I had one last chance to highlight a couple of projects that I think are awesome.
The Master of Puppets Gordy is a super talented artist who has produced some high quality (much of it free!) artwork for the community. I had a chance to help with development of their breakout adventure and it's pretty dope. This triple-threat author/artist/layout gets as close as it comes to dumping a mind-load of baller forest-crawl into the printed form. Don't sleep on this one!

Surveys and Shipping info collection
The first 5% of surveys have been sent out as a smoke test. More will be going out this week and next, so be on the lookout. You should be able to switch pledge levels and add zines.
Due to a war breaking out over the last couple months shipping rates have gone up a touch. We ended up $0.50 - $1.50 above estimates.
Shipping Dates
Estimated ship date to backers is July 15. Stickers are inbound to the warehouse. Prints of The Seers Sanctum and Aberrant Reflections are in production and should ship to the warehouse soon. I'm waiting on the final print proofs for A Familiar Tower before ordering the print run. If all goes well, everything should be at the warehouse by the beginning of June.
Pregenerated Characters
The level 3 OSE pregens each have an adventure motivation and some cool items along with some amazing artwork by Skullboy. There's one for each basic class! They are available via drivethruRPG alongside the other adventure downloads.
A Familiar Tower Official Release
The digital version has officially been released for everyone to grab on drivethruRPG and itch.io! Thank you again so much for making this possible. If you've been enjoying the adventure, and have the ability to do so, please leave a review on drivethruRPG. They help 😄
Physical Preorders
The preorder store is up! If you know someone who missed the crowdfunding campaign, send them over.
Retailers
For those of you who selected the retailer tier, I'll be reaching out soon to talk wholesale orders. Keep an eye on your inbox.
PDF and digital files for A Familiar Tower have been sent to all backers. The email will be from DriveThruRPG. Check your spam folder if you haven't received it yet. Let me know if there's an issue and I'll get you sorted.
Print proofs incoming
The printer estimates getting A Familiar Tower print proofs shipped to me by the end of the month. Provided everything looks good, the next step is ordering all of the zine prints to the shipping center.
Surveys
I will send another update when surveys go out for final addresses and shipping charges. Maybe next month.
The Seers Sanctum and Aberrant Reflections digital copies sent
If you backed at one of the "pack" tiers or selected Aberrant Reflections or The Seers Sanctum as an add-on, you should have received the digital copy through an e-mail from drivethrurpg.
If you don't see the e-mail, check your spam folder or try logging in to drivethrurpg. They usually have account notifications with a link to the listing. Let me know if you have any issues and I'll make sure you get what you need.
Thank you everyone for a super successful crowdfunding campaign! A Familiar Tower is still getting some finishing touches to make it as pleasant to read and usable at the table as possible. And because the funding went so well, I've been able to commission even more cool spot art from Skullboy to fill a few holes and make everything really sing together.
Calendar estimates still look on track.
February: Crowdfunding and layout tweaks. Success! March: Finishing touches. April: PDFs sent to backers. Print proofs and any needed corrections. May: Final prints made and shipped to warehouse. June: Packing and shipping to backers. July: Buffer. August: Zines start arriving in backer hands.
Zine Month projects still going strong
If you haven't taken a look at CAIN SUN yet, you should. Writer/Illustrator WacoMatrixo is the reason my dad has a successful entry into horror TTRPGs. My dad really took to the modified scenario Waco came up with for Screaming on the Alexis from Dead Planet. Waco has made a bunch of banger modules of his own since then and CAIN SUN looks like no exception. Have your players take control of alien parasites fighting for control of a host crew member's body.

Hi, i also commented on drivethrough but my The Seers Sanctum that redeemed on Drivethrough only has the PDFs not the VTT add on with the hand outs and the maps.
