Alone In Approvals and Locked Orders
Hey folks - just a quick update:
The corrected print proof for ALONE IN DWEOMERDARK is here; it looks great, and you will shortly be getting an updated POD code for the book.

If you have a chance to leave a review on either book, that would be awesome - Reviews and ratings help more people find it on DriveThru!

SURVEYS AND PLEDGE MANAGER will be Locking down in 48 hours!
At that point, I'll be finalizing the pledge manager and sending out any add-ons.

Next up: Roll The Bones on Kickstarter!
Also, if you are in the market for cool autumnal horror Stock Art, my October Theme on the Stockroom is Folk Horror - you can join for free and see the art each day!

Waiting on Print Proof.
Hey there, Delvers - just another quick update -

The Alone In Dweomerdark file was approved, and I am waiting on the print proof to be completed and mailed. Once that is done, I'll resend the POD files for that book and finish this project up! (For now, at least!)

I will be locking your surveys over the next week so that I can access and verify your survey information, but I think most everyone has been able to access the files so far. If you have not, please let me know! 

Some art in progress for one of our potential projects...
Next up? 

Alan and I are brewing up a few cool ideas, but we haven't officially decided what's next! (I'm in the midst of finishing manufacturing and filling some of my earlier projects too.) In the meantime, my next launch is back over on Kickstarter - a skirmish game called ROLL THE BONES where you use the wooden meeple Skelly Boys I made in a blend of quick tabletop wargame and dexterity game. It's pretty fun.

Still Waiting...
Hey folks! Just a quick update - I have submitted the updated files for Alone In Dweomerdark and they are STILL waiting on approval so that I can order the print proof.

I apologize for the delay - I'll send out a poke to them and see if they've all been lost in a spike trap for the month or something!

Missing tables and Survey
Hey there folks!

A quick update today - first off, we missed a couple of tables! I'm not sure how, but in our delves, the room/twist and action/theme tables intended for Alone in Dweomerdark didn't make it into the book!
The digital files have been updated on DriveThru with the missing tables included. The print proof will need to be re-ordered and I will re-send POD codes once that is complete. Alternatively, if you want to, you can simply download the missing pages and glue them on the inside cover of the book like I did:


Second, Backerkit gives us more access to information if we roll the campaign into a pledge manager, so you will be getting an email with that soon. It should just be a couple of clicks to complete.

Finally - our next game is ready to roll and should be launching in the first few days of September! Like Dweomerdark, this is one of our quick, ready-to-roll digital and POD games - 20XXPNKS: FIREFIGHT CITY!

Written and created by Alan Bahr and featuring art from Rick Hershey and Simone Tammetta, this is a rules-light tabletop roleplaying game set in a dystopian city in the near future.
It introduces the Shrike system, a punchy, rules-light, hyper-lethal game system, 20XXPNKS: Firefight City is all gas, no brakes.

It's a RAD game, and I can't wait to get it out there for folks to play! You can FOLLOW the project HERE: 20XXPNKS: FIREFIGHT CITY

And that's all for now! Keep an eye out for those surveys.

Print Codes Incoming!
Hey Dweomerfolks - the print proofs arrived today and look great!


Which means any minute now, you should have your At-Cost POD codes for both books arriving in your email and DTRPG notifications tab. This will let you order the physical copies of the book at cost and have them shipped to you.


We hope you enjoy the game - Alan and I are big fans of this smaller-scale, ready-to-roll project style here on Backerkit, and we are already working on the next one! (The preview page is in VERY early art layout...) 

Kris & Alan

Digital Books Incoming!
Hey folks!

Backerkit has done its thing and taken your coin, so I'm cleared to send out your loot!

Expect an email in your inbox today (very shortly) from DriveThruRPG with links to the digital editions of Dweomerdark and Alone in Dweomerdark!

I'll be uploading both here on Backerkit as well, just for convenience.

If you do not see an email from DriveThru: Check your SPAM folder - they often sneak into that, or folders like "promotions" or "Purchases" - so look around a bit.

If you still don't see one: Log in to Drivethrurpg.com using your email for this account. In the upper right of the page, there is a MENU drop-down. Go there and select NOTIFICATIONS. There should be a link there for your books. 

After that, if you don't have your game, send me an email at [email protected] with your drivethru account email and I'll get it re-sent out. 

The print proofs are in progress now. Once they are complete and have arrived and been checked, I'll send out the POD codes. (This will be a couple of weeks, according to DriveThru's current turnaround and shipping estimate.)

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the game! I think Alan made something great.
