Digital Reward Update: File Fixes & New Version Available!

Hey all!
I noticed a few minor typos in the digital reward file for "Unslain Dragons" that was sent out yesterday. I want to ensure you have the best possible version, so I have just uploaded a fully corrected file to Backerkit!
How to get the corrected file:
Check your email for your original digital download link or log back into the survey. Then, head to your digital downloads tab and click the download link. The file has been swapped out for the proper, corrected version.
These minor errors have somehow passed our proofreading and editing phase, but in an age dominated by automation and shining, threatening AIs, I can't help but chuckle at the pure humanity of such a mere oversight.
Regardless, thank you all who let me know, and I appreciate all the love the book PDFs are getting! I cannot wait until the physical books arrive!
Best,
Sawyer Lee

Hello all!
It's with excitement that I announce that the first wave of fulfilment is here.
The Digital PDF versions of Dragonslayer Codex: volume one, and Unslain Dragons have begun distributing via Backerkit, from whom you will receive an email linking to your download. Feel free to peruse, or save the surprise for when books arrive in September!
Speaking of, printing and shipping costs have been paid, meaning the books are printing and proofs are on their way. I will be reviewing them for quality, and will show off photos when they arrive!
Up next is to send the 5-e bestiary statbook, which I recently gave a polish to that makes it stand out as a striking art-booklet itself, rather than just pages of raw numbers.
As for the digital PDFs, give the emails time to arrive at all backers who received one. Make sure to check spam folders if they are not showing up, or contact Backerkit's help line!
I'm very proud of them, and I sincerely hope you enjoy this first wave of your rewards!
Best,
Sawyer Lee

Hello!
I have initialized Backerkit to charge the cards on file for shipping!
You will see an email notifying you of the upcoming charge, which will occur in 48 hours to allow last-minute edits if needed. If you were a preorder store backer not through Kickstarter, then disregard this message.
Wanted to let you know so there are fewer surprises!
Best,

May 14th Update!

Hello all!
Just wanted to update you on where we are with this project.
Final cover designs with all-new foiling, deboss, and ribbon bookmarks for the interior have been completed and sent to the printer! These were unlocked with the initial stretch goals that we moved through so fast!
The interior of the book has had all "secret" stretch goal content completed and is getting one last final check before being sent to the printers overseas. I can't believe how quickly it's all happening! I cannot wait for you to flip through these pages.
We are still on schedule for our projected September fulfilment date, and once the final book files are sent overseas in the coming days, I will pivot to preparing and distributing the digital copies of volumes one and two!
Following behind, I will be completing the "process view" e-booklet with creator's notes, concept art, and insights, as well as the 5-E dragon statbook, which has all stats completed and checked; all it needs is to be compiled, gussied up, and sent!
Completion of over 100 sketches from the sketch-card add-on will be my focus following that. It will prove quite a challenge, but I'm so excited to create some cool sketches for all those who ordered one.
In other news, I recently tabled at Savannah S.P.I.C.E. Con and did a series of talks and demos at the SCAD University through April. I will be tabling at Kaiju Brooklyn at the end of May, so if you're in the area, come say hi!
It has been a very busy month over here, but we are moving quickly and more efficiently than ever before.
Talk soon!
