Last week I received the books from the printer and spent this past weekend getting out the majority of packages. Those have been dropped off and everyone whose is packed should have a tracking number now connected to their account. The rest are twenty or so orders from late backers and EU backers who I'm making sure I can use a service with pre-paid duty taxes with. Included everyone should have a thank you letter, guide to access your digital files, and 4 of the one pagers.
Unfortunately we lost contact with the New York Writer and decides to not delay for shipping while we find a replacement. The New York One pager and player reference cards will be available as digital downloads as they become available!
We'll have a final update but please share with us when you get your packages and play your first games! We'd love to hear about your cities and stories on the discord (as well as it being the best place to follow for all future projects including the mysterious box show in the image below!)
A quick update to start off the spooky month of October. With the final sign-offs given for our proof prints we are sending in the order for our full print run, and will be charging cards to prepare for packaging and shipping later this month.
To make up for the short and sweet update, and to give you all a taste as to the physical products that will soon be in your hands, here's a sneak peek at what the final print looks like!
The past month we've been polishing the game text with final updates to the layout and text. Proof copies were ordered at the start of the month and once we've verified colors/margins look good, we'll be sending off the order to print.
In the meantime, we've been working to get finished on our two outstanding stretch goals: the player aids and city one pagers.
For the city one pagers, we're partnering who have lived experience in all of the selected cities.
New York City, New York - Alex Tripez (he/they) is a New York native and a writer working with Hunter's Entertainment and Darington Press New Orleans, Louisiana - Loki Williams (he/him) is an 8th Gen New Orleans native, career rpg writer, and Ennie winner Madrid, Spain - Vicka Ruscica (she/they) is an Argentinian rpg writer and project lead whose previously lived in Madrid for years Istanbul, Turkey - Luke Frostick (he/him) is an English scholar of Turkish literature whose been living Istanbul for the past 5 years while working as a contributing writer for Metis Media London, England - Katy Eddy (she/her) is a English senior technical writer who also writes and self publishes rpgs. Katy almost joined to help us with layout with her love of English Folklore so we're happy to haver back.
The writing for the one pagers are in flight and on progress to being finished in parallels with delivery. The printable player aid has been finished for a while but going through some minor revisions and layout.
Our timeline partially slowed by the print proof production but we're on pace still to print and begin fulfillment in October. We'll probably be locking cards in the next week or so.
We're getting closer to the end and can't wait to share the final project with you all!
City One Pager Tie Breaker Vote + New Full Text Version!
Hello!
We've concluded the final round of voting for the City One Pagers! The top 4 are:
New Orleans, LO New York City, NY Istanbul, Turkey Madrid, Spain
The final spot is currently tied between:
Marrakesh, Morocco Skowkegan, ME
Apologies misread the poll! We have a last city in London, England (Although I would have also been excited to see one of the tie breaker's make it through)
There's a final poll up for the tie breaker while we get moving on writing the other 4 one pagers.
Additionally! There's a new version of the Full Rules which will probably be the final "content edits" before the final proof reading pass.
Layout Revisions are taking longer than anticipated so final edits will probably leak into September. We're overall still on schedule but may have to wait a little more before printing
The poll has closed for round 1 of voting for the City One pager stretch goal with the following 9 cities moving forward!
New York City, NY
Youngstown, OH
London, England
Venice, Italy
New Orleans, LO
Istanbul, Turkey
Marrakesh, Morocco
Madrid, Spain
Skowkegan, ME
No other city received votes so I've decided to not arbitrarily promote one into the top 10. Voting for the 5 to be selected will continue till Sunday, August 23rd!
The first round of layout is finished and released through digital downloads! Rook did an absolute banger job putting together the game's collage focused spreads. Take a peak the spread for the Fables Community below!
We're currently iterating on the layout, making final text edits, and getting ready to handle the final text to Kodi for a final proof reading pass.
In the mean time, we're shifting focus to fulfilling our stretch goal rewards of printable player aids and 5 One Page Quick Starts for Cities chosen by the backers. The first round of voting is attached to this update! The top 25 cities will be culled down to 10 and then our final 5. We'd tried to get a good spread of both US and International locations. If any international locations are chosen that are outside the teams cultural background, we'll be pulling in guest writers to help do those locations justice. For larger cities, we'll be narrowing in on specific neighborhoods and boroughs that have a great mix of historic and modern locations. Go vote for the poll on the backer page!
Thats all for now! If you haven't, hop over to the backerkit and lock your order!

Tie Breaking Vote! Poll will last 1 week! This is round 2 of voting for the locations for the City One Pager stretch goal. We tried to get a wide variety of locations across the US and International. For locations outside the team's cultural background, a guest writer will be pulled in to help do the place justice. Larger cities will be broken down to a specific neighborhood/borough with a focus on places with a good mix of historical and modern locations.
