Hello everyone,
85% of you have now completed your Backerkit Surveys! Thank you all for the timely responses. A few people have asked and yes you can still upgrade your pledge through the survey. Before you start the first question there should be an option to adjust your pledge level at the bottom.
To our Pontif Maximus backers, as I'm sure many of you saw already I will be reaching out to you personally to get information on your characters, expect these emails to go out next Monday, a week from today.
I'm also happy to announce a new artist we're working with, Francisco Ruiz Nuñez, who's first piece can be seen below, the Celtic Cailleach!
With the next update I'll a few new magic items and new artwork of the Kushite Queen to share with all of you.
Sorry as well to anyone waiting on a reply to a message, I wasn't being alerted to them the past few days for some reason, I am working through the backlog now however!

Hello everyone!
I hope you've all had a great past few weeks, ours have been exciting but busy. Just a quick update today about the Backerkit Surveys.They should be hitting your emails the end of this week, Thursday-Friday, so keep an eye out. I'll will post another update here the day they go out.
On the survey you'll be able to input your shipping information, pay the shipping fee and ad on extra copies of the book/upgrade to the Kickstarter Backer limited edition should you so choose.
We'll also be offering an option for late-pledges starting the same day the surveys go out, the limited edition will not be available for late pledges.
Thanks again for all your support and have a great week!

An Amazing Campaign!
almost 4 years ago
– Mon, Jul 06, 2020 at 10:36:41 PM
Hello everyone!
You've done it! 3200 of you raised over $163,000 to bring this project to life. Marcus and I never expected to reach this level of funding or this many backers on our first project and we are so very thankful to all of you.
Today we're going to relax and celebrate after the successful campaign, tomorrow we hit the ground running. Now that we know exactly how much we have to work with there are artists to contact, cartographers to hire, pages to write and of course a Backerkit Survey to prep!
Backerkit surveys will be going out 2-4 weeks from now. These surveys will collect your shipping adress, shipping fees, give you a last chance to upgrade to the Kickstarter Limited Cover and allow you to ad-on additional copies of the book should you desire. We will also be adding an option for late-pledges/pre-orders in the next few weeks for those who missed the campaign end date.
Thanks to the amazing support you've shown us Marcus and I are both able to dedicate ourselves to working on this full-time. I will be keeping you all updated regularly here on Kickstarter until the launch of the project sharing art, pages, and the general status of the project with you.
We are incredibly excited by what we're now able to do with the book and we hope you'll be just as excited to run a campaign with it.
I also wanted to share with you a bit of our early concept art, where we started the project. These pieces were done by our good friend Rachael Wong back when we were still in the very early planning stages. Though we ultimately took the art style a different direction I"m sure many of you will be able to see where her pieces were used as concepts for current imagery. Rachael also created the logo used by Aruzian Publishing.
Thanks again! I'll be in touch soon.

High-Detail World Map Unlocked!
almost 4 years ago
– Sat, Jul 04, 2020 at 11:24:51 PM
Hello everyone!
We're in the endgame now, less than 24 hours left! Yesterday and today have been fantastic, the 48 hour bump is real and we've passed 150K unlocking the High-Detail World Map stretch goal. This will allow us to have a far higher-quality and more detailed map made than we original intended. We're still in talks with a few cartographers and will keep you all updated when we have the commission started.
I'd also like to reveal our next and final stretch goal, Battle Maps! If we hit the 175K goal we will release several downloadable/printable battle maps on our website free of charge when the book launches. These maps will be drawn from a variety of urban and rural areas across the world.
As I've said before and will say again, thank you all so very much! Marcus and I are so excited for what we're going to be able to do with the book given the massive outpouring of support you've shown.
To our American backers Happy 4th of July and to everyone else have a wonderful weekend! I'll be back with another update tomorrow.
