The pledge manager is now live for all backers! Plus we have more proof photos!
Pledge Manager Is Live! Last Call for Campaign Exclusives!
Please provide us with your address and other details so we can prepare for shipping!
We're extending the special campaign pricing for pledge items and add-ons, so browse add-on options as well.
If you wanted the leatherbound DCC core rulebook, or exclusive foil editions of Dungeon Denizens 2, this is the time to get them! Also remember that the "floppy adventures" in this campaign include foil treatments for backers, which isn't on the retail edition.
Pledge Manager Deadline: March 6!
Please complete your pledge manager by Friday, March 6. This deadline is especially important for international backers. After this date, we will instruct the factory on how to split inbound deliveries.
International surveys completed by Friday March 6 will arrive months earlier to backers than those completed afterwards. This is because they will ship direct to your market from China, instead of stopping off in the USA first and then being forwarded. So, please please please finish those surveys on time!
More Proof Photos
We're actively going back and forth with the printer, so there's a steady stream of proofing. Here are a few more photos from the last week or so.
Proof copy of Dungeon Denizens 2 hardcover, 5E edition. You backers will get the version shown at right, with the bonus 16 pages. Retail edition is slightly different, shown at left, and doesn't have the 16 bonus pages.
25 years in business! The logo on hardcovers is treated with a reflective silver foil.
Proof copy of Dungeon Denizens 2 hardcover, DCC edition. As with the 5E edition, backers get the version shown at right, with the bonus 16 pages. Retail edition is slightly different, shown at left, and doesn't have the 16 bonus pages.
Case samples of the reptile-hide foil edition. These actually aren't quite right, as the deboss wasn't properly captured. We've approved the inks and materials, and are working with the printer to get the deboss correct.
Here is a series of photos related to the DCC core book, leatherbound edition. It is packaged inside a cardboard mailer for protection. That's what you see here. The final cardstock mailer will be printed with a bit of art and title.
When you open the mailer, you'll find the slipcase. This is just the dummy with no ink applied, showing construction and materials.
Inside the slipcase is, of course, the leatherbound core rulebook. This sample has the correct leather binding but isn't printed. The white square is a removable sticker that is applied atop the shrink wrap. There are three stickers on front, spine, back, saying things like, "Signed Edition," "Real Leather", etc.
These are the signature pages that will be tipped into the leatherbound edition (in addition to the 16 bonus pages not in the regular core book). This is the untrimmed version; final version will be trimmed to spec. This particular page was rejected due to a slight wrinkle in the paper (which you can see if you look very closely right below the phrase "including you"). We have to sign about 50% more than are actually used, because the printer is very picky about using the best possible copies. Ouch, just looking at this is making my hand cramp again...
