Castle Zagyg Act 1 - ALPHA Preview PDFS Distribution #2
Greetings & Salutations!

We have some great news! The first three volumes of Castle Zagyg Act 1 are ready for an early preview! We are still working on layout and editing, however Steve felt it necessary to put these in front of you so you can see the volume of work coming your way. 

In the coming hour, we will be delivering the second wave of Alpha Preview PDFS for these titles:

  • Castle Zagyg Vol 1: The Citadel PDF Alpha #2
  • Castle Zagyg Vol 2: The Ruins PDF Alpha #2
  • Castle Zagyg Vol 3: The Cellars PDF Alpha #2

✨PLEASE SEE THE END OF THIS UPDATE if you need any help finding those downloads!

🚨 PLEASE READ! 

  • SHIPPING FEES STILL COMING:    Just a reminder that shipping fees will come later when we are close to final fulfilment.  This is really to allow you to have early access to your digital items AND also hopefully see some shipping cost reduction.

  • INPUT ON EDITING:    Please refrain from commenting or emailing in any information about the editing for now, much of the text and layout will shift in the coming days.

  • INPUT ON SPELLING MISTAKES:    Please let us know either through comments or (preferably) emailing us of any you come across.

  • PROBLEMS?    Please reach out to us directly via email below!

We hope you have a great week, and thank you for your support as always.

Please enjoy these previews and trust we are at the end game now!

~Steve and the Troll Lords

Castle Zagyg Act 1 Progress Update: 11/5
Greetings from the Troll Dens,

Jason Walton has started working on the replacement cover for Book 3! We explained this some months ago, but essentially, once we got into the deeper levels of Gary's notes, we realized that the encounter detailed on Book 3 actually takes place on a much lower level of the dungeon. Consider it a sneak peek at the lower levels for now!

We have the boxes quoted out, and a sample box is coming our way. We are striving to have all five boxes the same size; the depth is proving to be the operative thing.

Perhaps most excitingly, all three books are laid out and Peter and Steve are combing through them. We intend to release all three pdfs next week. To that end, once Chuck has the pre-release pdf setup ready, he will send out notifications from Backerkit. So keep an eye out for any emails from Backerkit/us!

As always, thank you all for your tremendous patience. This has been a huge effort with many delays, and the support and grace you've shown our small team has been a lifeline for us. We're closing in on the finish line!

All the best,
The Troll Lords

Castle Zagyg Act 1 Progress Update: 10/15
Greetings from the Troll Dens,

Today's update concerns the Sun Circle! This was unlocked as a stretch reward. Gary Gygax's handwritten and typed notes on all the Sun Circle material have gone to Jeremy's desk. He will convert these materials to C&C and organize them. We're excited for you all to see what's inside ☀️

All the best,
The Troll Lords

Castle Zagyg Act 1 Progress Update: 10/1
Greetings from the Troll Dens,

All three volumes are in their final stage of layout! We are currently making sure that each of these books look unified; we're treating the page numbering, legal, title pages, and headers to make sure everything looks the same and that these books are truly print-ready.

We anticipate that this will be done by midweek next week, at which point we hope to release previews to you all.

Our goal is to have these all fully finished and print-ready by late October. We're in the home stretch!

All the best,
The Troll Lords

Castle Zagyg Act 1 Progress Update + LATE PLEDGES for World Builders Archive: 9/25
Greetings from the Troll Dens,

Happy Friday! Volume 1 has officially hit the Chenault Brothers' desks. Steve and Davis will look it over, making any layout adjustments that it might need. Volumes 2 and 3 are in editing and layout now, but are nearly complete and will join Volume 1 soon.

In the meantime, if you're interested in obtaining more titles from Gary Gygax sooner rather than later...

Gary Gygax's World Builders Archive Ships Soon! Late Pledges are open thru 9/30!



Get all ten of Gary Gygax's World Building Volumes! The original seven books have not been seen on shelves since 2008; the remaining three volumes— Pantheons, the Weyland-Smith Catalogue, and Essential Places— were planned for and approved by Gary but never released to the public. Until now, obviously.

It was our distinct honor to work on these ten volumes for over two years, and now they are FINALLY ready to ship!! Get priority shipping by placing a late pledge before these books land in our store.

All the best,
The Troll Lords
