New Project Update: Skarr Awakened

Hey, everybody! It's been a bit since I've made an update on here. Since the success of Gribble's Guide, I've been busy working on projects with other creators and creating content of my own to expand the Oranth setting. Recently I've been working on something special that I'd really like to share...
I'm excited to share my newest Kickstarter project,Skarr Awakened! I've been working on this idea for awhile. In the last 6 months it's gone from a collection of notes to a massive google document that's nearly completed. And the time has FINALLY come that I can spread the word!
As for what's in this book, there's a lot. For this project I've created:
9 unique adventures with a "choose your own adventure" narrative style
An overarching campaign that spans levels 1-15
NPC and Guild renown tracking mechanics
Over 20 custom NPC and monster stat blocks
Enough custom magic items to make a dragon envious
An expansion to the World of Oranth's setting
And More!
The project is nearly 100% written with the layout design ready to go once everything has been edited. The largest remaining aspect of this project is the artwork. I've commissioned a couple new pieces already but I have soooo many more outlined and waiting for this new Kickstarter to successfully fund. With artists, editors, and writers waiting and ready to go, I'm hoping we can make this project a reality together!
The project isn't live yet but will be soon. For now, you can click on the link below to view the preview page and follow the project to be notified once it goes live.
I'm so excited to continue expanding the World of Oranth with all of you!

Hello everybody!
Just a quick update here to let you all know that the books have landed in Zac's warehouse. We will not be sending them out this week given that this is a holiday week and the lot of us will be visiting family but we will be getting to them soon. So this is a LAST CALL on locking your info in for backerkit. We've got roughly 90-95% of everybody already but there are a handful left that still need to do so. With the books in, we are setting a firm date of NEXT MONDAY for all backers to fill out the survey and lock in their information.
That's all. Told you it'd be a quick one today. Once we start getting shipments going, I'll reach out again.

Hey folks,
Zac here with an update.
BACKERKIT | The Backerkit has been up for several weeks now and about 90% of you have filled out the survey (thank you). All digital files are being distributed through Backerkit, so if you haven't filled that out yet, you won't have access to those files. I just triggered a reminder email to come from Backerkit to your email, so if you've yet to fill out the survey, there's an email with a direct link waiting in your inbox.
PRINTFILES | The book itself is almost ready to go to the printer. David estimates that within the week it will head out, and then fingers crossed that there's no issues and it can proceed quickly.
DELIVERY | The printer should have everything and be rocking and rolling in the next week, but once it's there, it's out of our hands. In recent months, I've had other projects get wrapped at the printer in 2 weeks, and I've also had things spin their wheels over there for 3 months. Our next update will be when we have a confirmed completion date from the printer, but we can all hope for delivery to start sometime between end of November and early January.
1-SHOTGAME | David will be reaching out to you soon(tm) about setting up your game. He has the game determined and you'll work with him directly to set up the date and time.
David and I appreciate the continued support and the speedy completion of the surveys, and we look forward to giving you another update in the near future.

Important Notice! (Backerkit and BOOK?!)
over 2 years ago

Well, the time has finally come. I have finished the PDF for Gribble's Guide to the Academic Adventurer! Some minor tweaks will need to be made before it gets sent off to the printers but they will be very small and consist mostly of making sure the bleeds and cover are all sized correctly. Now, with the project finally drawing to a close, the time has come to open up backerkit and start that whole process. So, that's going to be the majority of the update.
First, once backerkit is open, Zac and I are hoping to make this process go swiftly. Our goal is to have a two week period where everybody can go through, see if there are any other add ons that are needed, update addresses if they have changed, confirm payment source, etc. Once the two week period is over, we will be releasing the PDF contents to everybody. That'll include Gribble's guide, the three one shot adventures, digital assets to use with your VTT of choice, and other PDF or digital related content. Now, it's important that you try to get your infor in as soon as possible because that will effect the time frame that you'll be receiving your products.
For this project, we'll be sending out deliveries of hard products in two waves. The wave that you are a part of is dependent on how quickly you fill out the backerkit survey. With two waves, it'll make things a bit easier on us for the delivery end of things. We won't be in nearly the rush we were for previous projects to try and get everything out and hopefully that will aid in preventing issues of content getting damaged during the shipping process.
Now, with all this said, I know there will be late comers to fill out the survey. I've been one of the late comers myself for other kickstarters I've backed. In the case that you miss the two week window when we open backerkit, you can still fill out the survey. You'll just need to make a point to contact me directly either through email or messaging me through kickstarter. I'll make sure you get your goods. I don't want anybody to miss out for any reason I can avoid.
Now, for the printing information, we have an idea who we want to go with for the prints. They are in state so it should help in speeding up the process, but we still don't know how long this part of it will take until we speak with the printers. I'll be as transparent on this aspect of the project as I have with everything else. Once I know and E.T.A. on everything, I'll post here letting all of you know as well. I'm excited to get this into everybody's hands, and honestly into my own as well.
I think that's about all for me on this update. I'm so ready for this to be out! Really looking forward to hearing what everybody thinks once they have a copy of their own.
