THANK YOU!!

Hello, fellow adventurers!

It seems we have come to our final destination out of the unknown! To my knowledge, we have every package shipped that completed the Backerkit survey. It is entirely possible a few slipped through the cracks. If you have not received your package, please email us at [email protected]. This is the best place to reach us (and it keeps everything organized!).

If you have not downloaded your PDF, Update #33 has all the information you seek! I have re-activated the codes until the end of the week. Do not delay on downloading them!

From the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you. Creating this book truly was a dream of mine since I first rolled dice. As mentioned before, I started off on solo adventures. This truly is a full circle moment for me being able to proudly say, "I did it". I even was able to get a picture with Merle Rasmussen, a good friend of mine and creator of Top Secret and many solo adventures for TSR, at this last Gary Con showing both of our solo adventures (see image below).

We learned A LOT during this process! I can confidently say we have now implemented internal systems to have a smoother production cycle. Also, I have learned a lot personally about writing and designing solo adventures. I hope you all find that the next book, Dawn of the Dragon Priests, will be even better than Into the Unknown.

The next book in this trilogy will take your characters from level 5 to 7, and you will be exploring the volcanic reach of Mog Boldar. More details on that to come soon :)

As always, please reach out if you need anything! Again, the best place to reach us is [email protected]. Please keep sending me stories of your adventures as well! I truly do enjoy reading them.

Thank you for making this dream a reality. As Aflie Fitz would say, "Onwards and upwards to our next great adventure!"

All the best,

Ben Barsh

We've Made It!!

Hello, friends!

I am happy to announce 99% of the packages are sent. The only ones hanging are those who selected the BX RPG box sets as add-ons. The remaining books for the set should be here at the HQ this or next week. Also, retail shipments are going out this week!

For those who backed the hardcover, it has been brought to our attention a few map pages were printed as a full blank black page. To correct this, we will be sending a pdf of those maps so you can print and play or use the PDF. It is not the most ideal fix, but it is the fix we can supply.

This is not the official last update of the campaign. I will be sending a very long thank you once the last few packages are out! I will again say we appreciate all of you. We may have hit some snags in the road, but we are all damn proud of the book we put out. I had originally planned on the book being 64 pages, and exceeded 130 across all three editions. Thus, my plans have shifted for the sequel. It as well is becoming an expansive adventure with many paths to go. Also, I am adding in some new combat mechanics that will open up some design restrictions I've faced while encounter designing.  More on that later :)

Lastly, please send me stories of your adventures! Many people have DMed us with what transpired during their first playthrough, and I want to publicly say I love reading them! Send them to [email protected] if you would like :)

Thank you all again. We appreciate each and every one of you!

All the best,

Ben Barsh

Shipping Begins Monday!

Woot!!!

As you can see from the title, shipping will begin Monday! Woo!

The new printer delivered on their promise and got us the core books quickly. I have my team of childhood best friends on standby to help us get these books out as soon as possible. However, a few notes.

The hardcovers and Farrador: A History were already "in printing" with the old printer, and we have not received a shipping confirmation on those yet. I have asked many times for an update in the production process, but I have received not a lot of information in return. Those will be shipped as soon as possible. However, the softcovers, realm maps, and map books are either at the house or on the way (arriving by Monday).

Thank you all so much for the patience.  We appreciate you all so much. Most of all, I can't wait to release the sequel early next year :)

That is all for now! Look out for those shipping notifications!

All the best,

Ben Barsh
