Right, I'm back into existence! Sorry for the delay everyone, I was currently dead to the world.
*Glares at Pat and Ian.*
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO UPDATES!!! Do you know how hard it is to do updates from the underworld? You leave one set of friends in charge of updates and suddenly everyone forgets their basic necromancy spells.
The gall.
ANYWAY! WE DID THE THING! We get to expand the setting of the Black Ballad a little further and keep the lights on. So what happens now?
First: I finally toggled the pre-order store. https://black-ballad-chronicles-of-the-crossing.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders in case you missed the campaign. There is a new option up there: Relict TTRPG Starter Kit and adventure. Everything on there will be available during your pledge surveys when they are released, so it's mostly for the people who missed the campaign entirely!
Book Production: Everything is truly based off this -> Cover art is under way, and once that's finished we are into type set and getting novels listed and sorted. Honestly, we are really far ahead here. We actually started covers during the campaign and all editing is finished. You'll get updates once we have some initial covers locked in, but this one will be an easy crowdfunding to fill later on.
Pledge Managers: I'm going to release them next year, a little closer to when we are ready to start shipping books to eliminate the number of addresses that people need to change and let the 2025 shipping charges get updated.
What's Next? There are other projects that belong firmly within the TTRPG sphere we've been writing and polishing (and getting art for) this entire year. We haven't showcased much yet, but in January we will hit the ground running with teasers and updates for our next major Player Handbook and TTRPG campaign in March.
I will still keep doing updates here as we get cover art, new DiAmorte music to share, and ready for digital distribution, so stick around!
And if you missed the crowdfunding and still want to dive in, you officially can now!
-Thank you everyone,
Rick and the STF Team.
