Updates

Hi everyone!

Thanks to almost 500 backers for your support of our deluxe The Gamers: Nodwick's Tale edition. We're very happy to see that so many of you have joined us for this campaign.

As a brief reminder of what to expect, the campaign closes tomorrow at noon Pacific Time. BackerKit will charge cards shortly afterwards. We receive the money two weeks after close, then can start placing orders.

With the book interior designed, the only outstanding questions are how ridiculously far we can push the quality of the cover/foil/ribbons/etc. As we shared before, rather than doing iterated stretch goals, we'll just make it as awesome as we can from the funds raised!

If you've been holding off on pledging until the end, please consider this your 24-hour reminder.

We also encourage you to check out some of the other cool Printopia campaigns, including:

Thanks so much,

Hi everyone!

Thanks to early support for the Deluxe Nodwick edition, we funded in just a few hours and have well-exceeded our goal. We had wanted to do a deluxe edition of this during the Attack of the Pwns campaign, but couldn't quite make it work.

Stretch goals on this campaign are a little bit different. We hadn't expected to have so many backers, but you all have ordered enough books to put a mass-manufacturing run worth investigating. We're waiting to hear back from the manufacturer for a quote on what they can do for us, but it's likely that they'll be able to fit all kinds of fancy upgrades into our budget if we are able to make at least five-hundred books.

So that's our stretch goal: 500 hardcover book pledges unlocks as many upgrades as we can throw at the volume! That's likely to include bookmark ribbons, more foil, fancy endpapers, upgraded interior paper, and more. But we won't know for sure until we get the quote back.

For now, that means we stay the course and keep accepting pledges for the duration of the campaign, then make sure that you all are the first to hear when we know what's possible with the unleashed power of mass manufacturing! (This would also mean upgrades for the softcover edition from the Attack of the Pwns campaign, because why not?)

We're also happy to confirm that every deluxe edition ships includes a DRM-free, high resolution PDF of the book as well. Beyond that, we're keeping the campaign simple and sweet, so we can get this book into your hands as quickly as possible.

Also be sure to check out our cross-collab partner, Adventure Cats.

Thanks again from everyone at ZOE!

Nodwick's Tale tells a crucial part of the story that began in The Gamers: Hands of Fate, when the fantasy characters and their players swapped places, and in The Gamers: The Series, when Magellan discovered that his daughter Princess had been captured by The Shadow.

Now, Princess and Nodwick must navigate The Shadow's demands as they serve in his castle, go on outrageous quests, and eventually uncover The Shadow's most devious plot.

The end of this adventure ties directly into ZOE's forthcoming The Gamers: Attack of the Pwns movie, releasing in 2027!
