They are even more glorious in person.
I can't embed videos here, but on my socials I'll share how they look in hand! The Anniversary cover for book 1 is delightfully red, and Unslain Dragons is thicker than even I thought it would be! It will make a lovely presence on the shelf. I'm particularly tickled by Unslain's red and gold foil text. It is just so cool.
So keep an eye on my Instagram stories for those vids! Fulfilment grows closer.

Hey All!
Just wanted to share what's been going on during fulfilment. Books are getting their fancy covers pressed and debossed, and I've got a cool photo to share from the printing house:
Delighted by the thickness of the spine. These special editions are looking great!
I've been grinding away at the sketch card add-ons as well, which have been a fantastic excuse to break out the pens and draw traditionally for a while.
There are over a hundred of these to do! So expect more shots and perhaps recorded lapses of their creation. These will most likely be over on Instagram.
Check in soon!
Best,

5-E Bestiary Distributed!

Hey all!
Backers receiving the 5-E compatible dragon stat blocks now have access! 57 pages of stats, abilities, and adventure hooks designed for a "plug-and-play" application in any campaign.
Like with the main ebook release, it may take a moment for backers to receive the item as it releases in waves. Surveys and payment must be processed for the reward to "unlock", so triple-check if it does not show.
This booklet was expanded as well. What started as a black-and-white statbook of 18 dragons has expanded to 25, with full-color artwork and editing to elevate it to the next level.
As for a status update on the books, they are in China, where printing and packing continue before their voyage to the States.
The Slayer Appendix: Bestiary will be available on Backerkit, DrivethruRPG, and my website, but of course, Backers will receive their copy automatically via Backerkit, which is releasing ahead of time from the other sites.
I hope you enjoy and for those who play D&D, I hope they can make for fun encounters!
Best,
Sawyer Lee
Proofs are Here!

Hello all!
Some exciting news! The proofs have arrived for Unslain and Book One, in two massive stacks. I'll share a quick pic!
Check out this stack! Laminated and matte papers, cover tests, etc. So cool.
I'm happy with the print quality; it has kept the images crisp and high contrast. Really fun to flip through and see the entire book through these paper prints.
These are approved and books are currently being manufactured for print. Then, they head to the U.S. and my distribution partner!
I'll be back soon regarding the DnD statbooks!

PDF Access Update

Hello all,
I've tracked down the most common cause of the PDF access issues some backers have reported.
It appears that certain orders were still awaiting finalization through BackerKit's order-locking process. Those orders are now being processed.
If you were unable to access your PDF earlier, please allow some time for BackerKit to complete the order update. Once finalized, your digital rewards should become available through your BackerKit account.
If your order is finalized and you still cannot access your files, please reach out, and I'll investigate your specific case.
I appreciate your patience, and thank you to everyone who has already been reading and enjoying the books!
Best,
Sawyer Lee
