As you can see from the image above, I am holding the first unpacked hardcover of The Quintessential Guide to Monster Encounters. In short, the books for backers from the EU have already arrived at my doorstep and if all goes well, I'm sending them out this week. The books for backers from other places on the globe are on their way to our fulfillment center in the US, and I will update you as soon as I get confirmation about them arriving. For more information, check out this video.

Good news

We got word back from the printer that our files are ready to go, meaning we are now awaiting the proofs for that final look-over. If those are good, we'll start printing the books.

Survey time

If you backed our campaign, especially for the physical tier, make sure to double-check if you filled in your survey. We can't ship a book to you if you haven't, nor can we include your book in the final printing numbers. You might mis out!

Printing update

Hi there! We hope you are enjoying the PDF of the Quintessential Guide to Monster Encounters as much as we enjoyed creating it. The feedback on this has been amazing, and we are eternally grateful for your support.
 
The full cover of the Quintessential Guide to Monster Encounters

We are working closely with a well known printer (printed for Loresmyth to name one example) to make the QGME the best it can be. Their standards are pretty high, and we have been doing some back and forth to get it right. We can now say that we are VERY close to delivering them the final printing file. After all, we only get one chance to get this right. 

Thanks again for your support, patience and love!
