Delivery Month!

Hello, friends!
It's February! That means Path of the Vanished time!
As you may have seen from our last couple updates, COVID-19 finally struck Pacesetter and we are a couple weeks behind schedule. However, the PDF is still going out this month.
I'll break down the process from our side:
1. We have one last map to wrap up. We originally weren't getting a map for this area, but we thought we might as well add anything and everything.
2. We went through the document tonight and renumbered and relettered the adventure to map the sequence of play a bit easier. Each major section of the adventure has a corresponding letter that corresponds to its map. We actually ran out of letters in the alphabet, so we had to improvise! We turned Y, Z, and Zz into Y.1, Y.2, and Y.3. Yes... there are that many maps!
3. Once the last map is completed, we do one last scan with the editor to make sure everything lines up.
4. Off to layout! Suzy is wicked fast. We should be done with that in 2-3 weeks from turn in.
5. One last look over to make sure we didn't miss anything.
6. We send it out to you amazing people and get the physical copies ordered! That includes the corebook, the map book, and Whispers of the Serpent God.
7. We wait for the physical books. Once done, we send them out!
We appreciate you hanging in there with us! As always if you have any questions, please reach out! We are upset with the delays as well, but we really are working overtime to get this PDF out at the promised time. On top of that, I will be communicating every step of the way! If there is anything else I can do, let me know!
That's all for now! Keep setting the pace!
All the best,
Ben Barsh

Hello, friends!
As promised, I am striving to keep everyone in the loop while we wrap up production!
As stated in our last update, we did hit a road bump due to COVID-19 and personnel issues. If you want to read up on that, the last update contains that information.
As I said in the last update, we are headed for the PDFs to go out during February (the scheduled delivery date), but the physical books will likely go out in March/April. That is still looking like our schedule.
We have a small bit of polishing before we sent everything to layout. The layout process won't be too long, then we send out the PDFs!
As always, I like to include new art and maps to showcase that these are not just empty words. So, enjoy some more Dmitry art and Wonkee maps in the mean time!
I'll update again when we have begun layout. We do apologies that the physical books are going to likely be a beat behind. These are crazy times we are living in, but that does not mean we back down from a challenge!
Thank you all, and see you soon!
All the best,
Ben Barsh

Hey, friends!
I just wanted to throw an update out since we are heading into the end of 2020. We are working through the book swiftly! The editor is throwing his wand over the document and should be done in 1-2 weeks. From there, we simply have to finalize miscellaneous art pieces and maps, then it goes to layout. Everyone is working with haste to make sure this book goes out at the projected delivery date. COVID has reared its ugly face once more, but we are battling through any trials and tribulations that may come up!
If you have not completed the Backerkit survey, you can still do so! Use the link below to fill that out. This is where you pay shipping, confirm your address, and add any add-ons. If you do not complete this, we will be unable to ship your book or send your PDF. Only 5% have not filled this out yet.
That is all for now from us! We will update again in 2-3 weeks as the final maps and art are finalized! Thank you kindly!
