Hello everyone!
Great news, the adventure is complete! And it's looking fantastically amazing, and it's uploaded to DriveThruRPG for their printer review, which takes a day or two, then we're free to order the first proof copy. Proofs can take up to three weeks to arrive, and they've informed us that there will be up to a week's delay due to GenCon, but we're still right on track with our September delivery. We've gone over the 120pp book with a fine-tooth dragon-bone comb, so I'm feeling pretty confident that this proof will be good to go, baring any issues with image color.
So stay tuned, and hopefully by the end of the week the proof will be ordered. Thanks everyone and have an amazing rest of your week!

Hey Everyone,
Just a quick update for those who ordered add-on's and legacy products in addition to the core adventure. We've fulfilled all the orders for those products through DriveThruRPG. So look out for their emails which contain links to order your Print-on-demand products or in some cases your PDF.
GM Note: for The Bloodbay Abduction and The Fortress of Shadow adventures you will see a Roll20 purchase option for $0. This the PDF! It's just how DriveThru is labeling PDFs for products that are also available on Roll20.net (which these are). It's new and a bit confusing, but do the Roll20 order and you'll have the PDF in your library. You'll also have access to the PDF from your Roll20 account from what I understand, though I haven't tested it yet.
Also if you can't find the emails from DriveThru, log in then go to Menu and Notifications. The links should be there as well.
We have not yet fulfilled the Fumble Decks, but those are coming next, so if you still have not completed the survey, now is the time! We need your address for shipping!
Thanks everyone, hope your Summer is going great!

Hello to all our backers!
Thanks to everyone who has responded to the Backerkit survey! You guys are awesome! There are still 21 folks who haven't responded yet, but we're going to move ahead with the fulfillment of the add-ons this week to get things moving.
The adventure itself is coming along great, the first draft is now completely written!! Huzzah! Additionally we have 4 more maps completed, including the Treetapper Goblin Village, the Water Tomb, Earth Tomb and Fire Tomb. I'll attach a sample below. We've also finished up the monster appendix, with a total of 26 new monsters for the campaign!
Be sure to look out for emails from DriveThruRPG this week so you can print-on-demand your orders, and download your PDF's. To be clear, this will just be for the add-on and extra content. The Shadows of the Vale adventure is still in progress and headed for September completion.
Thanks again everyone! Be well and go adventuring!
The Surveys are looking great!

Hey everyone, we just wanted to thank everyone who filled out their surveys so far and encourage anyone who hasn't yet to have a go at it! It only takes a minute or so.
So far we have 210 of 240 surveys completed, which is great! Only 30 left to go, and 18 days until we lock orders and start fulfilling the addons.
The adventure itself is coming along great. We're up over 110 pages now and nearly complete with the new stretch goal dungeon crawl levels. There's still map work to be completed and then a ton of spelling and grammar checking. But we're still on track for September fulfillment through DriveThruRPG. Can't wait to hold the book in our hands!
Thanks again everyone and if you haven't yet, get to your survey.
Cheers!

Hello Everyone!
Kickstarter has finally completed their business and we're starting to send out survey from Backerkit. The first batch just went out and if there's no issues we'll send the rest tomorrow.
Please, please, please complete your survey as soon as you get them, it will only take a minute and will ensure you receive your emails from DriveThruRPG when we begin to fulfill. The Pledge Manager will remain open for 3-4 weeks before we begin fulfillment of our DriveThru add-ons and the Fumble Decks (likely to begin the last week of June). The Shadows of the Vale campaign book will take longer (fulfilling in September), but we intend to fulfill all the addons as soon as we close the pledge manger.
In the meantime, the pre-order store is open and you'll be able to shop for items you might have missed during the campaign.
Thank you for your support!
Cheers,
John & Nicole
