Good evening Dead Tree Fans! We hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season, whatever you celebrate.

Today we bring you some most fantastic news. The WSG is finished and we have started the process to print it. Indiegogo and Patreon supporters had the PDF emailed to them yesterday and final checklists are being…. checked.

To be honest it sounds super surreal, even to us. But officially The WSG has been released. Indiegogo/Patreon Supporters can expect to get their physical copies in January. Pre-Order customers can expect to get their copies around February/March.

Our next book we plan on releasing is our character creation Guide titled: Diary of a Mary Sue: A Character Creation Guide. The plan is to send it off to the printer sometime in January.

With that all set, we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a happy new years. Along with a joyful holiday. Until next time Dead Tree Fans, which probably wont be until the 8th of January or so.

Midnight Hour

Blog post 13

Greetings Dead Tree Fans!

That is Correct! The final hours (well days) are upon us! Our Core Rule Book The Wasteland Survival Guide Is in its very last stretches. The only things left for us to do is: The last bits of item art and replacing the placeholders in the books, final read through and edits (the major edit was completed now the non-editing team gets to put their grubby hands all over it looking for mistakes), and getting the final blessing of Kkat, MadModd, Ulushia, Shadysteps,Usea and Doubleclick.

That’s it that’s all. Crazy random happenstances aside, we hope to have the book sent off to the printer VERY SOON!

As a reminder those who ordered books through our Patreon or Indiegogo will get Digital Copies emailed to them after we have sent the File off to the printer. Those who ordered via our pre-order store will have the books released to them a couple months after they have been released to the Patreon/Indiegogo customers.

Additionally, the Diary of a Mary Sue is fast approaching its title fight with our Editor-In-Chief. Who will win? The world’s cringiest writing, or a pissed off pilot with a red pen? Tickets on sale NOW!

No set release date yet but our hopes are to have our character creation guide released to the general public (non-Patreon/Indiegogo customers) before BABScon. No promises though.

With that we shall return to our dungeons, excited and giddy with the approaching release date. Be sure to leave a comment, check out our twitter, subscribe to our facebook and to take a cursory glance at our Patreon! 

Until next time Dead Tree Fans!

Happy….. Freedom Syrup….? Turkey Day

Or whatever the the Americans use in place of Maple syrup.

Greetings Dead Tree Fans!and welcome to quite the late Weekly Dev Blog.  We have been hard at work doing the final checks on the WSG. Our editor Biscayne is hard at work going through the WSG with a fine toothed comb, our art team is cramming on the living hell out of recouping art which is almost done, and L9 is whipping them relentlessly. Things are still on track for a December release, though slow going. Depending on where you live you might not get physical copies until January, but Digital copies will be emailed our hopefully before Christmas. So grab a seat on this post apocalyptic hype train.

With some luck, everything should be ready to be sent off to the printer in about 2 or 3 weeks. We will let you know as soon as it’s done.

For all of our Indiegogo backers please be certain that your questionnaire is filled out and accurate. Questionnaires close on Thursday at 11:59PM Eastern Time.

That’s everything for now. See you all next week Dead Tree Fans!

Trapped In a Hive

Greetings Dead Tree Fans!

We apologize for the extremely late Blog post, We’ve been rather busy with post con work and prepping for December’s release.

To start things off, Nightmare Night’s Dallas was a success. We only had a Panel and someone *Cough* L9 *Cough* forgot to make the slideshow available offline, so there were a few hiccups with the slideshow not loading but other than that the panel went quite well and we had great attendance. Met a lot of cool people, did a fair amount of networking and otherwise enjoyed ourselves by running games in the games room and hanging out with friends.

After that we have been putting final works into the WSG, which is now undergoing final checks by the editor. We should have it sent to the editor with time to spare.

We also decided how we will manage our pre-orders.  As we stated before, due to the software glitch that was the cause of our recent delays we are deciding to release 1 book at a time. As such we are focusing on our Patreon and Indiegogo backers first. Our Pre-order store customers can expect about a 3 month delay from the time of our Patreon/Indiegogo release before we send out their orders. That Time frame may get shortened but for now 3 months is what we decided on. Both out of fairness to our backers as well as to manage time and logistics accordingly. We want to commit as much time as we can to releasing the books as quickly as possible while maintaining the highest quality we can. We will be contacting our pre-order customers in the next month or so for final arrangements but so far the game plan is such: Pre-order backers will be asked to pay shipping, but for those with multiple books, book sets, figurines etc, they will be given the choice to wait for the set to be released and shipped in one shipment, or shipped individually as the books and products get released.

The Pre-order customers with the 500$ box sets will still get free shipping in the continental United States, but we will send them the digital copies first, and most likely ship small sets of released items instead of singular books as they are released.

Those with Digital copies in their pre-order will get the digital copies emailed to them as they get released for pre-order customers. Physical CD holders included

Patreon and Indiegogo supporters will get free shipping on all items and all items shipped as soon as they become available. Those with Digital copies will get the digital copies emailed to them once we have placed our order with the printing company. We are going to see about getting order mailed directly from the printer, But no guarantees at this moment.

Other than that, we have be continuing to play catch-up on our lost art and starting to get things all sorted for future conventions, and the remaining 5 books. L9OBL who writes this blog was kidnapped by Hunter Chrysalis and Discord-6 from Task Force Chaos, fighters of Fireteam Harmony. Champions of villains everywhere. Which is why is was unable to post a new  Blog update on Sunday. We’d Mount a rescue but other than the Blog update he’s been working tooth and nail on the books getting everything ready so we thought “why rain on Hunter Chrysalis’s parade of torment?”.

Also will be locking our Indiegogo questionnaire come the 3rd of December. If you’re an Indiegogo backer and haven’t received your questionnaire from August, please email us at info.deadtree@gmail.com and we will get things sorted. We still have a handful of questionnaires that haven’t been filled and not completing them could lead to delays in processing your order.

That’s the long and short of everything that happened these last couple weeks. Don’t forget to leave a comment and check out our Discord server and Patreon!

Until next week….. er 4 days from now!

We don’t want to set the world on fire!

It was like that when we found it, we swear.

 

Greetings Dead Tree Fans! This week was a lot of the same old same. We worked on recouping lost art, formatting and getting things in order for our December release. We have also taken a hard look at our release schedule and what we have done. The news is rather bitter sweet.

As you all may be aware we talked about how we had a software crash at the beginning of September that made us lose over half of our art due to corrupted files. We have been hard at work to recoup that loss but due to the nuances of life it has been slow going. A lot of our contracted artists have either had to slow down, or leave because of personal issue, which is totally understandable, and we have had a few other minor set backs along the way as well. As such, it is with a heavy heart that we are delaying our release again, we tried our best to meet our deadline, but we unfortunately do not have the resources or  personnel to accomplish it. We apologize for having to delay our release, yet again. However, instead of one big release date, we are going to release the WSG in December, and then release the remaining books as they are finished. For those who acquired books through the Patreon or Indigogo, all shipping costs will waived as an apology.  We will be figuring out the best form of logistics for those with digital copies, including physical and direct download CD’s. These logistics will be fully sorted by December. We are still deciding how we will handle pre-orders, but again, we will have that sorted by December.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email us at: Info.deadtree@gmail.com or to talk with us on our discord server https://discord.gg/W3DdccR

 

Until next week Dead Tree Fans!

Happy Maple Turkey Day

Greetings Dead Tree Fans, and happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

L9OBL, our graphic designer, is a filthy snow mexican, so we figured we’d wish those other less filthy snow mexicans in our fanbase a happy turkey day as well.

With that over, on to the important parts. Biggest things that happened this week were formatting, and prepping for both Ciderfest and NightMare Nights Dallas at the end of the month. Formatting is going quite well, we are making good time on the lost art as well, but still no word on whether or not we will have to delay.

That was pretty much everything that happened this week, so be sure to follow us on facebook and twitter, check out our pre-order store and our patreon, as well as to leave a comment below! Untill next week Dead Tree Fans!

Late for being late

Go figure…

Greetings Dead Tree Fans!

We have been hard at work getting things in order for our December release and most of us have forgotten that the concept of time exists and that days were a thing. We make no effort to apologize about our work induced cosmic one-ness.

As for everything that happened these last two weeks… boy have we been busy.

Editing is done aside from last minute double checks and the big edit that will happen to all of our finished PDFs. Formatting has been going well, however art has been going much slower than we had hoped.  We also received confirmation that we will be at TWO Conventions this month. That’s right, our Writer Moonhoof will be in Milwaukee WI, at Ponyville Ciderfest on October 20 -22 running games in the table top games room all weekend, and on October 27 – 29 we will be at Nightmare Nights Dallas in Dallas Texas. With both a Panel AND a table in the Table Top Games room hosting games.

Our NMND Panel will be at 12:30PM on Saturday the 28th, and our NMND schedule will be announced at a later date, they only have us for one timeslot at 12:00 PM on Friday the 27th, for the TTG Room, but we will be there most of the weekend.

As for Ciderfest we have Games on Friday the 20th at 12:00 PM and 8:00 PM.  Saturday the 21st at 12:00 PM and 10:00 PM for an after dark session. With one game on Sunday the 22nd at 12:00 PM.

That’s it for now Dead Tree Fans! We will see you next week… unless we get lost in the mysteries of the universe again. Either way, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, check out our Patreon and browse our pre order store. It means a lot to us! Don’t forget to leave a comment and to share us with your friends!

We Haven’t Slept Yet

So technically it’s still Friday for us.

Greetings Dead Tree Fans! How are all of you this fine Friday evening. Oh you thought we were joking? Well we weren’t. Technically if you counted all the all nighters we have been spending it’s still Wednesday for us, but we figured it was a stretch so we’re counting from the last day we woke up on, which was Friday. How have we pulled a 72 hour work fest? Coffee, lots and lots of coffee. Pretty much all we’ve drank, oh and chocolate covered coffee bean, those too. That and most of us are used to stupid work schedules so this kinda sleep dep is common for us. That’s right Dead Tree Fans! Delivering an epic product to you is more important than our health! Which come 10 years from now when we’re old and full of chronic health problems realize how horrid of an idea that was, but Screw future us, future us are a bunch of punks who don’t know nuthin. Bunch of weak old farts. Though that’s not what we are here to talk about, all of you fine folks are here to learn about what we accomplished in the last week. Whelp, a lot actually. Formatting has taken leaps and bounds, we have been working tirelessly to recoup all the art that got corrupted and lost at the end of August, and we have been doing prep work for Nightmare Nights Dallas, which we officially have a panel at, as well as a Table in their table top games room! We will update you on times and locations when we get them, but yeah, be excited! We are headed to Dallas, as much as L9OBL is resenting the idea. Silly Canuck claims he will melt.  Not much else to talk about so we will leave it at that and decide if we need sleep after our next cup of coffee.

How Can It Be Tuesday?

Greetings Dead Tree Fans!

We’ve been hard at work wrapping things up and dealing with a system crash that wiped out close to a third of our item vectors. We will let you know if this affects our intended release date, but currently we don’t know and are still hoping to keep on schedule despite the set back.

other than that we have been busy buried in formatting and other prep work. So much so that we even lost track of what day of the week it was.  busy with formatting, editing, double checking and trying to recoup lost art.

That was just about everything that happened last week. Until next week Dead Tree Fans!

Paperwork Shmaperwork

Greetings Dead Tree Fans!

This week, not a whole lot of super exciting fun stuff was done. Mostly paperwork and other boring stuff. We also started livestreaming again. We didn’t do it today, and there won’t be any  tomorrow as we are setting up a rather massive update for our Patreon Subscribers. We are very aware that our Patreon duties have slipped while we have been putting our all into our release, and for that we sorta apologize. We apologize for letting our responsibilities slip, not for putting our all into our release. If you have issues with us working to bring you the best gaming experience we can, we don’t care.

Other than rolling our d20s to fight against the horde of paperwork we must do, we also gained much ground against the format monster of book building. Which makes us happy as it brings us closer to our release.

That was about it for our weekly battles this week, don’t forget to follow us on:
