Digging in on the Swords Against! proof along with some Enchiladas Y Mas. I'm so excited that it's finally a physical thing in my hand. It's looking good. Now to read it one more time cover-to-cover.
Thanks again to everyone that supported us. If you haven't responded to your pledge manager survey, please do so!
Surveys went out and there's a shipping charge Issue!
Hey guys,
Looks like there's a shipping charge issue for some pledge levels. If you see a $100 shipping charge, don't pay it. I'm tracking down the issue now. If you've already paid it, reach out to me directly and I'll get you a refund.
Apologies! Didn't see this problem in the smoke test.
If your shipping charge looks correct, go ahead and complete your survey.
Progress Report: 'Zine is ready to print, Main mag is at proof, Smoke Test Surveys out!
The title of this post about covers it.
I sent the order to print the collaborative 'zine. Be sure to add-on if you want additional copies!
The main magazine is now at the printer. They'll have a proof ready for me in a couple of days. I'll post pictures.
As soon as I click "send" on this update, I'm sending the Smoke Test for the survey (that sends the survey to random 5% of backers). If you get one, please be sure to report back if you see a problem.
My expectation is that the full surveys will go out by week end and the main mag will be printing! We are on track to ship out by the end of the month.
'Zine back from proof! Main mag is in draft layout.
Hey kids,
Some progress to report. I got the collaborative 'zine back from the printer this morning. It's looking really good. I have a couple of corrections to make, but it's otherwise ready to print.
The main magazine's draft layout has been completed. I'm going through and filling whitespace today and finishing up front/back matter. Pushing to get this to proof by Friday. It's taken longer that I expected, but I know you'll enjoy the quality of fiction and art we have in this inaugural issue.
Other Administrivia: Smoke test of the surveys goes out today...
Thanks again all the backers of this little venture. And thank you for your patience.

I'm close to wrapping up the layout on the main magazine and the collaborative zine with New Edge Sword & Sorcery. I'm on track to hand both off to my printer by next Friday... barring any unforeseen circumstances.
With that in mind, on Monday, I'm sending out surveys and final shipping invoices, so be looking for those. If you want to add additional issues of either book, that's the time to do it before I get this print run ordered.
Really looking forward to sharing this magazine with you guys. As I read back over everything during layout, we have some truly phenomenal talents.
Thanks again to all of you that supported us to make Swords Against! a reality. Lot of work, but it's going to be so worth it.
