Timeline Update & New Video
about 18 hours ago – Fri, Dec 06, 2024 at 04:25:28 PM

Hello Everyone!

In this week's update, we finally have new information on the timeline, so let's jump into it.

Timeline

After sending the files to the printer weeks ago, we've been working with them to get updates on our schedule, and although they've been in good communication with them, we didn't want to make an update speaking about the timeline, until we had firmer dates. That said, after being bombarded by other company's orders, our manufacturer has told us that we won't be able to get our books and start fulfilling until March 2025. We were hoping to start fulfillment this month and end in January, but we just can't make it happen.

Though I'd like to say we could, we can't solely blame our manufacturer's busyness for the delay. Due to the extra weeks we put in during the editing phase, we slowed down the process and certainly contributed to our two-month delay. Once more, we want to apologize for the delay and thank you all for your patience. We know it's not what you want to hear and it's certainly not the news we wanted to give. We hope that the other exciting things we'll be announcing in the next two months will hold your excitement for the book.

Expect some cool news dropping in the next few weeks!

New Youtube Video: Using Inspiration 

We're still on our holiday break for the podcast, but we do have something else that you may be interested in. We have a new YouTube video out! In it, Jeremiah talks about the project and explains how he used Ghibli and Legend of Zelda as inspiration for Obojima. If you want to hear more about Jeremiah and the team's thoughts on inspiration or want to send a video to your players to introduce them to Obojima, this is a great watch.


As always, I hope you all have an amazing weekend and we'll chat soon!

Monster Stat Block Fixed, New Podcast Episode, and Holiday Break.
15 days ago – Fri, Nov 22, 2024 at 01:52:43 PM

Hello Everyone!

We've got an updated PDF to download, A new Podcast episode, and a quick update on our YouTube channel for the holidays.

Monster Stat Block Fix

As many of you may noticed, the last version of the PDF seemed to have an error where the monster stats blocks weren't appearing. We've reuploaded a new version of the PDF where that issue, along with a few others, has been removed. Additionally, we've added a high-res version of the map. Both of these new PDFs can be downloaded through your backer kit account.

See any Errors? Let us know!

We don't want to stop the book's improvement. While reading through, please let us know if you catch any errors so we can fix and update the PDF.  If you do see anything, you can let us know through the Found-Error channel on Discord, or this Google Survey.

Holiday Break

We're taking a little Podcast break for the Thanksgiving holiday. We'll be back mid-December, with new podcast episodes. In the meantime, you can watch some of the other videos that we'll be releasing while the podcast is gone! More on those soon.

New Podcast Episode: Elder Spirits & Their Domains

In this week's Podcast: Episode Forty-One, Adam, Ari, and Jeremiah chat about the domains of elder spirits and how they affect the world around them. Join the writers as they chat about the elder toad spirit and its desire to connect with the Nakudama.

Book PDF, Locking Addresses, Charging Cards, Book Production, and More!
29 days ago – Fri, Nov 08, 2024 at 01:26:14 PM

Hello Everyone!

There is a lot to talk about so let's jump into it.

PDF Release

The Official PDF will be released to all Kickstarter backers and pre-orders next week! We've taken all of the community edits you've sent in over the past few months, along with a visual update to the layout and art from the book draft, and implemented them into one heck of a PDF. If you purchased a copy of the PDF, you can expect to see an email with a download link on Friday the 15th.

Book Production

Book Production starts Next week. We've sent off the final print files to our manufacturer, and they'll be working on printing right away. As some of you know, we started production of the Kickstarter accessories last month, so our book printing will slip seamlessly into that production line. We're incredibly excited to get these in everyone's hands!

As we get more information on this timeline, we'll be sure to let everyone know right away!

Locking Addresses & Charging Cards

Because we're finally at this stage in our production, we'll be locking down your addresses on Wednesday the 13th. If you wish to alter your address, please log in to BackerKit to make any appropriate changes. Once addresses have been locked, we'll be charging cards on Friday 15th. For those unfamiliar with the term, "Charging Cards" means we'll charge your shipping costs and any add-ons you may have included in your BackerKit order.

If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to reach out through Email or Kickstarter Message.

New Podcast Episode: Awakened Animals

In this week's Podcast: Episode Thirty-Nine, Jeremiah, Adam, and Ari chat about how animals on Obojima become merchants, shopkeepers, wizards, and so much more. Join us as we delve into curios magics on the island that bring animals from normal to extraordinary.
