>>> WHAT'S MISSING?
We still have to deliver the Soundtrack, Solo Rules and Third Party License The ETA for all of these is by the end of the year. The Alchemy VTT module is also stil work in progress, we'll let you know an ETA as soon as we have one!
>>> PRODUCTION AND SHIPPING
Unfortunately we had some trouble during the production process, so shipping will be slightly delayed.
Twilight Sword is a strange book with a custom ratio and it's something entirely different from what we've done in the past. After many attempt to getting it just right, ultimately we weren't happy with the final prototype and had to make the difficult decision to change factory. This decision pushed us back of about 6-8 weeks, but it also allowed us to make the best Twilight Sword possible.
Currently we have a wonderful prototype in our hands, and we are extremely proud of how it came out. Now Twilight Sword is exactly how we envisioned it, and we're happy that we decided to take the time to start over with a different factory, rather than rushing it to deliver on time. We understand that many of you will be unhappy with the delayed shipping, and for that we apologize sincerely, but we also trust that you will appreciate our decision one you have these marvelous books in your hands!
>>>>>> NEW ETA: The original plan was to SHIP by the end of June, given the current circumstances we are confident that we'll be able to start shipping at the end of August. On a positive note, the books are already in production and many of the components are ready, so there should be no other issue going forward!
Thanks for reading through all of this, and for the tremendous amount of love, support, and kindness you send our ways. We truly appreciate it!
