October Update
about 1 month ago – Tue, Oct 08, 2024 at 08:44:58 AM

Hello!

TROVES has arrived and is being prepared for shipment to all Backers. I've opted for a few changes to the book, essentially thicker internal pages and covers. All-in, I'm very happy with the final print of the book.

If you've not completed a pledge, check your email for a BackerKit link sent in the last few days. If you've been affected by recent weather events in the USA, please contact me and we can arrange to hold or refund your pledge. Any other concerns, please reach out to me ASAP and we can get things settled before the packages are in the mail.

Thank you for all the patience with this project. I hope that you enjoy adventuring very soon!

September Update
2 months ago – Wed, Sep 11, 2024 at 10:19:42 AM

Hello,

Quick update for TROVES - a small delay.

My proof copies were damaged, misprinted, and of poor quality (see the pictures below). For these reasons, I am working on a new proof to ensure the quality I expect from TROVES is put to page for everyone.

I apologize for these delays and firmly believe that this will lead to a higher quality product. 

The new shipping date is early to mid-October of 2024. I will keep all BackerKit pledges open until the week of shipping, allowing for changes to your addresses. A reminder will go out at the end of September for everyone. If you need a direct link use this for your BackerKit pledge - 

Thank you,

• Cody

August Update
3 months ago – Wed, Aug 21, 2024 at 08:01:42 AM

Welcome back!

Quick status update on TROVES - Drew has finished the remaining art, layout is complete, and the test prints are in production! An update to digital copies will be going out within the next day which includes some last minute edits, fixes to layout, and the new artwork!

New Art

Drew has outdone himself again with some amazing art to fill in the 3 added adventures for the print version of the game. See below for the Crump statue - a monument to the Great Crump and his challenges awaiting the adventurers. 

Charging Cards & Updating Addresses

All orders have been locked and cards charged. There are a few cards that were declined (due to one reason or another), so check your email for a confirmation or correction prompt.

Pre-orders remain open until the end of August (2024), so if you have a friend or family member that may want a physical copy of Troves, share this link! 

Need a last minute address change? Send me a message on Kickstarter or email me at - [email protected]

I will be back the first week of September with preview of the proofs. Shipping is set to commence mid-September as there were a few delays with my printer.

All the best,

• Cody

July Update
4 months ago – Tue, Jul 23, 2024 at 05:38:42 PM

Hello!

Good news - Drew is working on a few more pieces or art to fill the gaps in the rules. These will be done in early August, so shipping will begin in late August or early September. This is a slight delay but one that is going to be worth the wait!

All BackerKit surveys will close and be charged on August 15 - 2024. Please be sure update address changes and other information by that time. 

Where is the Game At?

All rules are complete, with a full edit pass done and dozens of playtesting sessions' feedback implemented. 

The digital copy of Troves will be updated this week and released through Itch io and DriveThruRPG for all backers. This version will be missing the final art (mentioned above) but provide the full game for people to play using their digital device. When the art is completed it will be added to the digital version. A low-ink (printer friendly) version of the game will also be released for those who want to print at home.

Future Updates

Expect the next update around the BackerKit lock date as I should have more to share by that time.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns please reach out to me via messages, a comment below, or email ([email protected]). 

Thank you,

• Cody
