Update of the Month!

Hello everyone,
We’re back with another update! Apologies for the delay—some of us were cursed with various illnesses by dark gods. We know it’s something many experience around this time of year, but fortunately, everyone in the office is slowly recovering. So, albeit a little late, we’ve finally managed to reach out to you.
The writing of the books is going full steam ahead, though we must admit we’ve encountered more challenges than expected with some additional systems and rule sets. We plan to gather plenty of feedback and conduct a lot of playtesting, as we still have a long road ahead. While we’ve fallen slightly behind the initial writing schedule, we can say a significant portion of the text is complete. Additionally, all the artwork is finished, and the design process for the book’s other visual elements is nearing completion. As the adventure module’s writing continues, we’ve begun sketching the battlemaps—there will be more maps this time, and we’re working hard to ensure they look great. We’ll keep you updated on the progress.
As with last month, we’ll be sharing three new subclasses this month. We received fantastic feedback from the first two playtest materials, and we’d like to thank the dozens of backers who took the time to share their thoughts with us! The next three subclasses will be available via your Backerkit account within 1-2 days, so don’t forget to check your inbox over the weekend. We’re eager to hear your feedback once again, and we’ve included a feedback form at the end of the PDF, as usual.
Lastly, if you haven’t completed your survey yet, we’d like to remind you that time is running out. Looking forward to catching up with more updates and content soon. Have a great weekend!
See you soon!
A Quick But Mighty Update

Hello everyone,
We are back with a small update to bring you some news. We have new artwork to show you and some new playtest materials to share!
First off, your feedback on the first batch was fantastic. We're incredibly happy that you enjoyed the themes overall, and pointing out some great design opportunities we missed was equally appreciated. (Like giving the SUNbreaker radiant damage—We're still laughing in the office!)
Now, we're giving you a playable lineage option and three new subclasses. As before, you can leave your feedback through the link at the end of the document.
The playtest materials will be delivered to you via Backerkit, just like the last one. We believe that distribution will be easiest this way, so keep an eye on your mailbox and check your Backerkit dashboard. And, complete your surveys if you haven't already.
See you soon!
Some Important News From The Battlefield

Hello everyone,
While battling the exhaustion effects of the summer heat, we're back with a small update to bring you some news. Let's look at them.
New Playtest Materials
The writing of the book is in full swing. In addition, we have made good progress on tasks such as drawing the artwork and preparing the maps. We thought it was time to start gathering your opinions and decided to share the first playtest materials. The document we will share within a day or two will include 3 subclasses. You will see the ones for Barbarian and Bard for the first time, and we have made some small tweaks to the subclass we created for Cleric after the campaign.
We believe that with your valuable feedback and opinions, these subclasses are ready to be further developed. Therefore, we have added a link at the end of the prepared document where you can easily share your feedback.
We plan to release many more playtest materials in this manner. This way, you can see some of the content early on and help us by trying out the shared content in your games.
The playtest materials will be delivered to you via Backerkit. We believe that distribution will be easiest this way, so keep an eye on your mailbox and check your Backerkit. And, complete your surveys if you haven't already.
About Pledge Manager
We will lock in the add-ons and shipping fees through the pledge manager next week. Therefore, if you haven't completed your survey or want to purchase any add-ons, please don't miss this opportunity. As always, you'll receive one last email 48 hours before the orders are locked, but if you miss that too, know that these complicated locking spells can't be undone. For example, we still haven't figured out how to get the unicorn out of the small office room where it's locked.
As always, we're leaving you with a beautiful art piece before we get back to work. So you will be able to see our barbarian and rogue subclasses in action!
See you soon!
Subclasses Are Ready!

Hello everyone,
First of all, we want to say that our office is scorching under the summer heat, and writing an adventure module set in a desert during this time is mentally exhausting. We keep the air conditioning off so that our creative team can better feel the atmosphere of the adventure.
Joking aside, everything is going very well. We still have a long writing process ahead of us, but so far we haven't fallen behind schedule. The subclasses (including those unlocked through stretch goals) have been completely written. They still need balancing, final touches, and final checks, but that part of the book is almost finished. With the next update, we plan to share at least one of them with you. We will also explain how you can access the playtest materials when we release them.
Pledge Manager
Most of you have completed your BackerKit pledge manager surveys. However, there are still some who haven't, and that's okay—the pledge manager will remain open at least until the end of this month. But keep in mind that some items are in limited supply (due to production reasons, the wizards at the printing house are quite aggressive).
We will be back soon with new updates. We have a long production process ahead of us, and we will share developments and any potential issues openly, so keep an eye out here.
Finally, it wouldn't be right to leave you without a bit of art. Take care, and goodbye!
See you soon.
Smoke Tests Are Out, Pledge Manager Is Coming, Pre-Orders Store Is Open!

Hello everyone,
Pledge Manager is just around the corner. As a part of our combat protocol, we only sent pledge manager questions to 5% of our backers to identify and resolve any issues that may arise in the process. You may want to check your mailbox to see if you are among that small group. If we are confident that there are no problems, the remaining backers will also have access to the pledge manager in 24 Hours. Be prepared!
A quick reminder, shipping fees will not be charged yet due to global shipping inflation and our shipping agreements not being finalized. We will charge these fees closer to the fulfillment date through BackerKit. Keep an eye out for project updates. Soon, there will be updates regarding content and production as well.
Also, our pre-order store is open. If you have friends who are devastated for missing the project, don't forget to direct them there.
See you soon!
