Hi all!
I'd wanted to post this a few days ago but ... didn't. Thank you for bearing with me!
Far Roofs Status:
- The distributor started shipping books out last month, and people are starting to get them! I'm checking backerkit now and then for late surveys. I'll let you know when I hear that the last books are out the door.
- I have not yet sent out bookplates, thank you notes, or the Stagger of Rooftops art to the relevant backers. There's some combination of "I want people to get the books before the bookplate so they don't lose it" and "the past six months have been a lot."
- I haven't processed all the small shipping refunds for two-book orders yet. I appear to be the only one who cares about this, based on overwhelming backer response, but I'm working on it anyway.
Nobilis 4th Status:
- Once the above steps are complete and I feel like I've fulfilled this project, I will set up and submit a kickstarter signup page for Nobilis 4th. Thank you for bearing with the delays.
- I am currently implementing post-playtest edits. This started last year, but I spent most of November through January recovering from knee stuff and a truly astonishing portion of February with migraines and/or insomnia in the way of a clear head. Once I'm able to work on it properly, I estimate three weeks of work, because it is a lot of text to read through carefully while editing and I'll probably have to start from page 1 again. Once that's done, anyway, I'll put it in a dummy layout, and I'll be ready to launch.
- TL;DR: the past six months have been a lot, I wasn't able to clear the final hurdles to have the Nobilis 4th kickstarter ready at the expected time, but barring personal crises I can probably launch it in ... May? Thank you again for bearing with me!
Other News:
- I've updated my open license ( https://www.ninuan.org/apocynum-press-community-content ) to include the Far Roofs.
- ... and there's been some community content released! For instance, in https://itch.io/jam/rooftop-library-jam .
- I have a new small RPG (<10k) coming out later this year. I'll tell you a bit more on that at another time. ^_^
- It's ... awkward ... timing, but within a few months I expect to also have the print-on-demand for Nobilis 3rd edition available. I've been staring at this perfectly functional current PoD with faded art for a couple of weeks convincing myself that it's worth going through a couple new rounds of print proofs to fix that.
- I planned to put some of my books on sale today to celebrate my birthday but it looks like they're all already on sale for DriveThruRPG's "GM Day" so instead I'll have cake or something I guess! Still, um ... the sale appears to exist, even if not exactly as planned?
Best wishes,
Jenna
