Hi folks! 

The process of looking over the final proofs have been completed as of yesterday! What does this mean? Well, it means I can safely announce that everyone's at-cost print codes will be ready as of mid-June (that means one or two weeks)! In preparation for this, please make sure that those of you in the at-cost print code tiers fill out the single remaining question I added onto your BackerKit surveys if you haven't already. You can access the survey here or through the reminder email BackerKit sent out a week ago. I'm just as excited as you for this last step - thank you all so much for seeing this campaign through from beginning to end!  

Also, for those of you interested in the Digital Cards and Artbook, I'm estimating that they will be finished around the same time that the at-cost print codes are ready. Prepare yourselves! 

Until next time, 

Karl

Oh and please head over to Heliana's Guide To Monster Hunting: A DnD 5e Supplement led by our good friends Mo and Max! Max is from Humperdink's Wares and was a big part of our team that brought the Tome of Mystical Tattoos to life, so you can expect nothing but good stuff from them! Here's a short blurb explaining what they have to offer:

"Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting is a 300-page tome packed with exciting new content to enhance your 5th edition game. Discover lethally thrilling adventures, rules for tracking, harvesting, and crafting, and a humongous hoard of fully-illustrated items, monsters, spells, and player options within these blood-splattered pages. Battle lethal, multi-stage boss monsters and forge fantastic new items and familiars from their remains."

(Exciting news + Some action from you required!) What have you all been reading?

(Edit: If your BackerKit survey is still locked, don't worry. I'm in contact with BackerKit and we'll get that sorted out soon!) 


Hi folks! 

Here are some books that came in recently that I've been reading:

They're kinda beautiful...

Okay, I lied. They're not just any books! They're the print proofs of the tome. Pretty cool, right? 

Your physical copies are now just around the corner!!!! (Four exclamation marks for the four different covers you can choose from)

So, essentially, your at-cost print codes will be sent out as soon as we determine there's not even one tiny mistake left in these pages. Or as close to that as possible... I mean we're already pretty damn close. However, I can't even begin to express how great it feels to hold the actual tome in my hands. It's been such a fun journey to share with all of you! 

There is actually one last step for certain tiers (30, 38, 45) because I need to make sure that the at-cost print code you are sent gives you the exact cover you want. For this purpose, I've unlocked your BackerKit surveys so you can easily get back in there and let me know!

You can get back in to the survey by logging into your BackerKit account, through here, or through an email BackerKit will send out shortly asking you to fill out the one question I added in there. 

For backers who were charged and surveys can't be unlocked (49 of you) I will reach out to you individually!

Thank you for being patient with physical copies and all the kind words about how the digital release has been fantastic (at least from what everyone who reached out has mentioned)! You are about to be very happy campers because as you can see—you are soon to be rewarded

Cheers,

Karl 


P.S. 

Please check out these  Kickstarter projects which members of the team have started!

Frunz Studio played a big part in making our book so beautiful, and now they've got a comic in the works! Check it out through here, the goal's not too far off! 

Hamid Printer was one of our talented Lore Writers and he's trying his hand at some interesting magic items of his own! Please show him some support if you can, right through here. Let's get his project to the finish line!

A release to make your lives easier...

Hi folks!

With some unexpected (but welcome) help from Michael—one of our backers—we were able to create a Magic Tattoo Catalog. This is essentially a spreadsheet wherein you can sort the tattoos by things such as rarity and body part to find the corresponding (print or digital) page number. This has been requested a few times now. Hope this helps you enjoy the book even more! Also, if you find any errors or corrections that need to be made within the file, just shoot me a message.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k9-zaj_CbFaDp_2EWu1c-5ikkbMzL3QsWwcPXoS16VQ/edit?usp=sharing

Also of note: A lot of backers are helping out the forthcoming print release in multiple ways. For example, we do appreciate when you message us indicating small errors that somehow got past us so that the digital copy download can be updated and the first print release will come out as flawless as we want it to be. Thanks again, you awesome people! 

I am kicking myself that I dropped the ball and didn't make a discord for this community midway through the project... 

Cheers,

Karl
