about 5 years ago – Tue, Mar 12, 2019 at 01:11:49 AM

Dear cultists,

You heard us right - MAIN GAUCHE illustrated PDF is coming this week! Here's the order of operations:

  • The first version we'll be sending is V2, and we will update all your DriveThruRPG accounts with the latest version. Our goal is to have the file to you no later than Saturday.
  • The print-ready file V3, will come 1-2 weeks thereafter, which will be the final version before we fire over the files to the printer. 
  • Once we have V3 done, we will be able to accurately estimate time to print and ship. 

Details will be shared here and on social media, so you won't miss out. We appreciate your patience - we're almost done!

As I am sure you heard, but we're bringing COLONIAL GOTHIC: Grim & Perilous RPG to the Powered By ZWEIHANDER d100 game engine! You can read the press release, see some awesome new artwork from Dejan Mandic and download the sample Profession here.

Updates on printing/shipping for MAIN GAUCHE, plus take a look at the special edition covers!
about 5 years ago – Tue, Feb 26, 2019 at 12:17:32 AM

Dear cultists,

The layout is finished for Zweihander, and you should have V8 of the PDF uploaded to your DriveThruRPG accounts.

We anticipate having layout done for Main Gauche on March 11th, and will update your DriveThruRPG account with the illustrated edition same day. Following this, all files go out to our printer! The printer will then communicate the date the prints arrive via pallet to our shipper. We estimate shipping will take 2-3 days from point of arrival to deployment. The shipper will send out shipping numbers via Backerkit for you all to reference. We will have more details as they come in over the next 30-45 days, but are very, very close to having all books out the door and into your hands!

While you wait, here's a look at the special edition covers:

Dear cultists,

We are incredibly proud to announce that the tabletop RPG books "ZWEIHÄNDER Grim & Perilous RPG" and "MAIN GAUCHE" will be joining the annals of authors such as Exploding Kittens, The Oatmeal, Roger Ebert, The Boondocks, Calvin and Hobbes, FoxTrot, Doonsbury, The Far Side, Garfield and many, many others as a publication of Andrews McMeel Universal! This will be AMU's first foray into the tabletop RPG industry, with these two books at the fore of this new line of business.

What's this mean in the bigger scheme of things? Scale and reach beyond DriveThruRPG into the "real world" of RPG publishing. This means that Zweihander Grim & Perilous RPG pre-orders are available (RIGHT NOW!) on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and IndieBound. GTS distribution will follow in February (so you can order it at your local brick & mortar), and Amazon International will follow soon thereafter.

So what does this mean for our Kickstarter backers? Nothing has changed, save for the quality of our books will be even better than before. And, you'll get your books well in advance of other preorders!

As you may already know, we have begun to leak out images of the new duo-toned Zweihander on our Discord, which will also be the new branding assets used for Main Gauche. In essence, the books are getting a better treatment than our smaller printer could offer. You can learn more at https://discord.gg/yNd6BAA
