THANK YOU!

Hello Everyone!


I just wanted to post a quick update to say how much your support is appreciated and that we're really excited to be launching The Scourge of Northland with such gusto. The early success of this campaign is encouraging and a clear signal that we're on the right track. I'll be sending out a couple other updates during the campaign to help promote some of the creative projects our friends are also running Zine Quest campaigns for. Stay Tuned!


FAQ

Here are a few questions that I've received in the last 36 hours and though I've answered the asker, I thought I might drop them here for further visibility.


Q: Any chance that the .PDF will not be released through itch.io?

A: We are using Backerkit this time around so digital fulfillment will be handled through that. I have a feeling it's going to be way more efficient.


Q: Do the add-on zines, In the Shadow of Tower Silveraxe and Through the Valley of the Manticore, come with the maps?

A: They do!


Q: Do the add-on zines, In the Shadow of Tower Silveraxe and Through the Valley of the Manticore, come with the PDFs and digital extras?

A: You bet!


Q: Will the poster maps be offered as a standalone add-on?

A: Yes. Later on when surveys are being issued through Backerkit, I will be offering the overland poster map individually. However, the handouts will only be available as part of the Handouts & Maps print pack. 


That's it for now. Have a great week everyone and stay safe!
