Project Update: StoryGuider July update - POD keys started, final revisions, digital updates

Hello all!

This will be a bit of a quick update since I did send an update last week regarding POD keys, BUT I wanted to still keep up with the regular monthly update schedule!

Last week, I distributed the POD keys for The Big Book of Dragons, The Big Book Friends, and the coloring books with The Big Book of Heroes still on hold due to needing another proof revision. I'm predicting the Big Book of Heroes will arrive in mid August, and I should be able to distribute the keys shortly after!

I'm also working on getting all the small books uploaded and set up on DTRPG, so once I have a full set uploaded, I'll distribute the POD keys to folks that got individual trilogies. Those will go out starting in July to August, probably leaning towards August as soon as I get back from GenCon.

If you'd like more details, please check out my dev log post here!
