Hi everyone,
I wanted to give a short update on where things are at with the Lesser Key post-campaign. Here we go!
Puppethand's Guide: As I mentioned in the last update, this is finished. You're seen the preprint. No one noticed anything egregious, so we're ready to send to the printer. At the moment for what I assume are obvious reasons, we're waiting for Kickstarter to pay out before we do that, so right now that should be early next week.
Restless Dead: Also finished, but we got back the proofreader edits, and we need to reconcile those. I'm waiting for the designer to tackle some of that. Once that's back, I'll drop the preprint of that for your eyes. My rough estimate on that is the middle of next week, but we'll see.
Backerkit: The preorder store is open (yay!), which you can check out here:
Important: If you are a backer of this campaign, then the preorder store isn't for you. Access to add-ons and paying for shipping will be in the Backerkit surveys. If you happen to know of anyone who missed the campaign and might like to still get on board, send them the link above. This is for them. :-)
What's the timeline on surveys then? Well, Backerkit recommends waiting to send the smoke test (and then surveys) until after Kickstarter pays out, so we're waiting for that here also. Backerkit surveys are all set up; I just need to push a button, and things will go. I'll send another update with more specifics on that process as we get closer to surveys going out, which will most likely be at the end of next week.
Finally, here's a piece of art by Bill Spytma that ultimately didn't make it into the Puppethand's Guide. It's an umbral puppet (aka a shadow puppet). Enjoy!
We're getting there! Until next time, folks. Stay safe!
