Test prints have arrived!

Hello backers! It has been a long journey since January 27, 2020, when we launched this project. It took a bit longer to have the final product, but we officially have the first look at the printed version. I have been rage-checking the mailbox every day, and while I hated waiting for a test print, it is far better waiting than finding flaws later.
The arrival of any of our books is always a very exciting time for me. Until I wrote my first book, I never knew how much work it can be. It is crazy to finally hold something that took over a year of work and the support from 927 of you all to make it come together.
I spent around half of the day going through the books, to ensure the quality of the print was superb. I also wanted to make sure that we did not miss anything, or have a formatting issue. I am glad to say that I did not discover any issues.
Address Locking Final Notice
You may have already received an email, and if needed it will give you enough time to make any last-minute changes to their shipping address. Having updated and accurate addresses will save us time and reduce shipping costs by preventing returned packages. After 48 hours, all addresses will automatically be locked.
Well, now onto the fulfillment stage, and as packages begin to send out, your backerkit survey will be the place to keep track of the information.

Hey everyone! I am just waiting on the test prints to arrive so I can approve them for print! The below is the updates I have been giving!!!! I hate waiting on the books but I also ordered another set and put them for quick shipping. So inevitably this means the first books I ordered will probably show up tomorrow making me realize I did not have to order another set of test prints!
Pending Payment Approval
- 03/22/2021 - Paid for your printed items normally take 2 to 5 days to print (or up to 14 working days for full-color books), and will then be shipped to you.
- 03/22/2021 - Sent to printer print order sent to the printer - ConfirmedPrinter has acknowledged receipt of order.
- 03/24/2021 - ShippedProduct - Shipped via USPS
- I have not received them yet, despite my rage checking my mailbox every day!
If you had an address change please let me know again just to make sure I have the notice! I am going to go through all the messages just to make sure, but it is always good to know and have. Shipping will begin as soon as I know the prints are good! I would rather not send books that have issues with the print, regardless of how thin my patience is currently for the books. I wanted to wait to send an update but also know that people have been wanting updates! I try not to update too much because it makes some not read them! Anyways, any day now they should be in and I can start shipping!
PDF delivered via backerkit!

Hey everyone,
We have finally finished with the changes to the stat blocks, and have sent the file to you all through your backerkit profile. That being said, as soon as I am able, I will be adding the navigatable links to the PDF and making it far better for the digital backers. In addition, we have gone back to make sure we have sent all the other rewards, and if you had digital add ons, then check your backerkit for those.
Today, we are hoping to finish up the final files for the covers, and officially order the test print. Then in about 2 weeks, we will begin fulfilling the physical orders.
I know some of you all will not be 100% happy with the stat blocks, but we made them way more applicable to 5e games, despite us never wishing to do that. I loved that there were some awesome suggestions for some of the stat blocks, and if we had a much larger team, then we would have had the ability to truly hit every aspect. Yet, these are your games, and we never want to hold your hand, especially when we have never had the chance to play with you (one day I hope to play a game with each of you). I really hope all the backers for this book will find a ton of utility in this book and their games run smoother, become more unique, but most of all, the world-building is easier and more inspired.
Also, please check your download files, I had one backer say that they had a corrupted version on page 103. I just want to see if it is isolated, or throughout the entire link to each backer.
The next update will let you all know when the test print arrives, and the beginning of shipping!
Regards

Apologies for the spam everyone, especially those who are having no issue downloading and viewing their PDF. I had a very awesome backer work and view the files with me to make sure that they are viewable. I also went through and viewed each page individually on my mobile and desktop. Also, do not forget there will be one last version coming, and that one will have clickable links and easy-to-navigate pages.
The editor is working on the covers as we speak, so we should be able to get the test print ordered today, and to us as soon as the printing company can get it to us. Thank you all for being patient with us, and I hope you all enjoy the book.

We only lack making the final changes to the stat blocks before we send it off for test printing, and as soon as that is done we will deliver the PDF's. Then we will start delivery on the books and add ons shortly after. We are hoping to start this in the next couple of weeks.
