In this version we addressed some minor layout issues, as well as typos spotted by the keen eyes 👀 of our community. In other news, the next update we'll share about the book will be when we have the physical copy in our hands! That moment is just around the corner, once we overcome one of the mightiest Nemesis out there: the Greek Customs 🥊

LAST PROTOTYPE READY — The hardcover cometh!
8 months ago – Wed, Mar 27, 2024 at 10:14:31 AM

We're absolutely thrilled to share these monumental news with you all – our first-ever physical test print is underway, and the results are just stunning!

Our team has eagerly awaited this day since we published our very first digital title on DMsGuild and started this journey. To see our efforts manifest in physical form after so long is nothing short of spectacular! This is a moment we will forever treasure, and we’re delighted to share it with you.

Of course, we’re still making adjustments to ensure the book stands up to the standards we intend for you, but the results are already looking great. Not only is the quality on par with official releases, but it has also been made using FSC-certified paper, which is environmentally friendly and more sustainable.

The book and the rest of the prototypes will soon be in our hands to begin their final testing phases, before issuing mass production!

PDF Version 1.1 incoming!

Since the release of the EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos PDF two weeks ago, you have embraced it eagerly, sharing with us all the tales it has inspired in you. Needless to say, that is all the motivation we need to see the final leg of this journey through, and deliver the best book that we can!

We have been meticulously looking through it for anything that we missed during production and playtesting, encountering only a couple of pesky typos and out-of-hand bookmarks. Thus, we will be releasing another digital version to tackle these last remaining blemishes in the book. This version is coming out very soon, so that these fixes can make it through to the print version.

Feel free to share your own suggestions with us in person on our Discord server.

THE DIGITAL BOOK IS READY FOR DOWNLOAD!
8 months ago – Mon, Mar 11, 2024 at 10:00:46 AM

Exciting tidings ahead! The digital version of EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos is now available to our backers! Check your emails for a direct link to download the book. Alternatively, you can follow the instructions below:

1.  Login to your BackerKit account with the email associated with your EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos Kickstarter pledge.

2.  Select EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos.

3.  Press the "Get Your Digital Downloads" button.

4.  Locate EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos 1.0

5.  Enjoy your mythic adventures!

If you cannot find it for any reason, just contact us with your backer name and we will figure everything out together! 

Disclaimer: You may notice that there are two versions of the pdf, one of them is called a ‘lite’ version. The only difference in the lite version is that the image compression is different so that it loads faster on older PCs and on mobiles. The layout is also different (the lite version is a single-page spread, compared to the two-page spread). The content is exactly the same in both files.

This is a glorious moment for our team and we are thrilled to share it with you! Since the moment we pressed the “launch” button on the Kickstarter project, your unwavering support became the wind beneath our wings, showing us that our dreams and hopes are now in the hands of a community of lovely and inspiring people: you!

And you didn’t stop there — after helping us get funded, you even reached out and helped us improve the book, eager to provide your precious feedback, do playtesting sessions and thoroughly edit its contents!

So cheers to you, and onwards to our next adventure together - as the book will be heading towards the printer very soon!

SURVEYS ARE LOCKED — Paving the Path Forward!
9 months ago – Mon, Mar 04, 2024 at 09:19:54 AM

The surveys for EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos, have been locked and can no longer be altered (unless you contact us). Once more, thank you for supporting us and making all of this possible. With the precise number of orders in hand, we can move onwards to production and the future steps of this campaign. But what are these steps exactly?

Book PDFs: We are in the last steps of finalizing the digital book. You should expect it in your “hands” by the end of this week (Sunday, March 10th)! We have done our best to incorporate your feedback and the project is significantly better for it. The book will be shared through the backerkit digital library, allowing you to download it at your convenience. Through this platform, we will also be able to share updates to the pdf if deemed necessary, ensuring that this version is the best it can be!

Prototypes: Over the next few weeks, we will be meticulously finalizing the prototypes for each item in EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos. Though most of them are already done, we will be scrutinizing this process to ensure their quality is top-notch! We will do our best to keep you updated and engaged in this process.

Mass Production: Once the prototypes are done, we will move on to bulk production. This should take up to 2 months for the quantities involved.

Payments: You may have observed that, although orders are locked, no payments have been processed. Rest assured, these funds are earmarked for shipping and taxation. We will only charge them prior to shipping, not a moment sooner.

Shipping: This marks the final leg of the project. The books will be traveling all over the world to reach your doorstep and that is a mythic journey all in itself. Though we have accounted for enough time for their delivery, we are sure you understand that this is a volatile process which includes parameters beyond our direct control. To that end, we have secured the cooperation of trustworthy partners with a lot of experience in the industry (specifically these types of projects) to ensure a seamless journey, and are aiming for your items to arrive by the end of September!

Barring significant shipping delays or unforeseen complications, fulfillment is anticipated to conclude by this September, with a few lucky backers possibly receiving their copies even earlier!

DECK OF FATES PROTOTYPE!

Speaking of prototypes, we have a brand new look into the Deck of Fates!

Some colors have come out a little bit saturated here and there, but we're generally SUPER excited with how it's turning out. Just another few days in the oven and it should turn out perfect for your games!

CALM BEFORE THE STORM

Given the inherent intricacies of the physical aspect of this project, the journey ahead will be long and perhaps less exciting (for you). Due to this, future Kickstarter updates may become less frequent, serving to share information about reaching certain milestones of production. Should you notice a temporary lull in the campaign updates, fear not, we’re still in the thick of it, trying to make this all possible. For further questions or anything EXORDIUM: Origins of Mythos related, we’d be more than happy to talk with you on our Discord server!
