Hi Everyone!

KINLESS will be headed to the printers very soon, with fulfillment to begin immediately after. Preorders are still open, but will close once fulfillment begins. Get the Kickstarter exclusive Vegvisir Hardcover here!

Our new product line for Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) RPG: Heroic Adventure! launches with Evil Never Dies in a couple weeks. Designed by myself and Bob Brinkman (Crypt of the Devil Lich), with art by Dan Smith, and cartography by Brett Hess. Be sure to sign up to be notified at launch! There's a special treat for Day 1 backers if we hit our funding goal.

Explore Dungeons #4 launches Q1 2025 (for zine month) and features cover art by Raven Evermoor! Also, we have plans to introduce a new sci-fi/fantasy zine based around the Deep Space and Deep Magic systems by Jonathan Hicks (Farsight Games). We're calling this one the Deep Zine. We will also be offering back issues of our in print zines and a reprint of sMörkåsBorg #1.

Castles (working title) for Mörk Borg will be launching in Q2 2025. This features the incredible art of Waclaw Traier with cartography and art by Raven Evermoor.

Vault of the Murderworm for DCC RPG is tentatively scheduled for Q3 2025, featuring cover art by Billy Blue and alternate (exclusive, limited) cover art by Waclaw Traier.

Thanks everyone and stay tuned! 2025 should be a great year.

Weekly update

Hi everyone!

Sorry for being a couple days late on this week's update. Surgery went well and my eye pressure is right where it's supposed to be, so that's awesome. I've had a few new orders come in over the last couple weeks, thanks to people spreading the word about this project on social media. Much appreciated!! Feel free to tag me on the page if you post anything when you get your books.

Got a BUNCH of orders packed up over the last couple days. I only have FOUR orders left to send out, and those will be done by tomorrow. Speaking of which, tomorrow is a holiday in the US, so everything will get picked up on Tuesday. 

I also have one replacement order to take care of, but then that's it aside from the occasional new order that rolls in.

Thank you everyone for your patience and kind words. I'll send another update once everything is in the mail.

Once Kinless is done, keep an eye out for Zinepalooza Too which will feature some new material and possibly a whole new zine or two, in addition to new issues of the old favorites.

No Update This Week

The irony of sending an update that says there's no update is not lost on me.

As some of you know,  I have eye surgery on Friday morning. The procedure is quick and the risks are low, but because of diabetes there's always a chance of complications. I've been doing ok with just one eye for a few years now, but man... the thought of surgery on my "good" eye scares the hell out of me. Honestly, I'm starting to twitch a bit just writing this post.

Best case scenario: I sleep it off and I'm fine-ish by Friday night.  Maybe a little blurry.

More likely scenario: some possible inflammation and minor bleeding. Essentially blind for 2-3 days.

Unlikely worst case scenario: the activity in the front of my eye riles up the retinopathy and macular degeneration in the back of my eye, all hell breaks loose (weak blood vessels burst, filling the eye with blood and everything goes dark) and I'm effectively blind for a few months until it all clears out. Assuming the excess blood doesn't clog the drainage in my eye and my pressure goes up making my glaucoma worse and they need to do more surgery to replace the drain which means a new lens too and then even longer recovery time.

So... if you have a spare goat, throw it on the pyre and ask the gods to watch over me on this one.

Thanks for the patience and encouragement and I'll see you on the other side of this.

Shipping Update

Hello All,

All Domestic Orders have shipped. 

I have 9 International Orders remaining, but those will go out on Thursday, because Holy Crom the postage is insane. Those 9 packages are going to cost me a little over $600.00 to ship. No joke.

Talk to you soon.

Chris
