Hey fam,

I just got back from the GAMA trade. Here's the status of everything so far:

  • Pledge Manager was submitted last Saturday but it's still in review. Hopefully, it'll open up this week.
  • The majority of the non-main books will arrive from Amazon Kindle Direct on Monday. The rest should take 1-2 weeks, approximately when Amazon closes.
  • Mixam will be about 2-3 weeks on the Best of DMDave stuff.
  • The stuff we're getting made overseas will be 25-30 days from Monday. 
  • For those of you just getting books and items we already have in stock, we'll ship those ahead of time. Those with doo-dads will have to wait until those arrive.
  • All PDFs will come out when the PM opens.

Let me know if there's any questions. Holler.

Printing/order status.
about 1 year ago – Fri, Feb 14, 2025 at 02:54:50 PM

Hey friends,

We're still a week or two from the Pledge Manager opening, but so far we've got:

Patreon dice bonuses in stock
Werewolf Village in stock
JPT 1-5 printed and in stock
DL 1-4 printed and in stock
BroadSword Monthly back issues are ordered and due before the PM opens
Special dice from Yaniir made; picking those up in person before PM opens
All Best of DMDave modules are done and printing via Mixam *except* Tether which I should share as a PDF before the end of the week
Werebeast Hardcovers getting one last looksie since I added extra pages, then off to KDP (regular) and Mixam (special). Should be ready and in stock before the PM closes. Mixam is giving me trouble on the dust jackets, so I might have to print some manually. Either way, it'll get done.
Bullet dice, dice tray, and dice bags being ordered this evening when China wakes up

I think that's it.

I'll keep you posted as things change! We're still about 10 days from funding and the Pledge Manager opening.

Hey everyone! 

We finished at $30,303. Nice work! And if you missed some rewards or you're a patron looking to add more on so you can spend credits, don't worry, as we'll have Pledge Manager open in a couple of weeks.

Here's the schedule for what's going to happen:

Today - Campaign ended!
2/24/25 - I receive the lunar dice from Yaniir at GAMA trade expo.
2/25/25 - Campaign funds. Any lingering items are paid for and ordered.
2/26/25 - Pledge manager opens. You'll add in your addresses, pay for shipping, get some add-ons, and so forth.
3/12/25 - Lock-in date. That's when we charge for shipping and finalize addresses. PDFs go out for all the content, namely the main book.
3/15/25 - Goods start shipping. Stuff in the US will come from my store in Oklahoma. Outside the US will either come from the US (if it's got stuff other than the books) or from our printer, Kindle Direct, if it's just books.
4/8/25 - The next Broadsword campaign begins—Guide to the Negative Energy Plane.

If you have any additional questions, let me know here or contact us at [email protected].

You're also free to message me on Discord any time you like.

Thanks again all!

Final 24 Hours
about 1 year ago – Mon, Feb 10, 2025 at 10:28:58 AM

Hey followers!

If you're following along, we're now in the final 24 hours! As previously stated, everything is done and ready to go. So as soon as you sign up and the campaign is funded around the 27th, we'll send out the links for the Pledge Managers. After a two week grace period, we'll charge and then you'll get the PDFs followed shortly by shipping notifications for physical backers. 

I plan to post all notifications of shipped goods so you know the status in case anything gets hung up in customs/tarrifs, etc.

So make sure you back soon if you want to grab a hold of this book!

Later!

Stretch Goaly-Goal
about 1 year ago – Sun, Feb 09, 2025 at 09:15:53 AM

Hey friends,

Call it a stretch goal if you will, but I've decided that for all of you who backed this campaign, I will automatically share with you the next Broadsword Guide (coming in April) PDF for FREE!

What is the next Broadsword Guide? Glad you asked!



Dead things, Mikey. Dead things.

Note that this isn't completed yet, but will be by around late March to April. In the meantime, you'll be getting everything else that you paid for (and any extras I feel like giving you) shortly after the Pledge Manager opens.

Enjoooy!
