Friends,

Hello!

Sorry for the delay, folks. I kind of lost a month because I had to take care of my mother-in-law in Florida for two hurricanes. Good news: She's fine. Bad news: Going there twice basically took me out of the office for a month.  

I'm hoping to get your updated final PDFs next week.  After that, I'll order the print copies, and then we will be on our way.  

I'll post another update if there is any issues. :)

PDF Updates coming soon. Next, then we go to print! oh yea, and Overworld Omnibus!
about 1 month ago – Tue, Sep 10, 2024 at 07:20:29 AM

hello friends!  I hope everyone is doing well.  

During the corrections (typos and errors) of the PDFs, we noticed some technical issues that would affect the print versions. The good news is that those are being updated, too. We've already completed three versions of The Cryptid Manual and have two more to go. Once they're complete, I'll upload all the final files to Drivethrurpg and post another update letting you know that has occurred.

Next is onto print!  Immediately, I'll place the print order for all 5 versions. Shipping will begin as soon as they arrive.  Everything is getting close now. :)
