Just received my confirmation email saying its all go.. Looking forward to this April (ish)

I've just received the email on this showing the box layout is ready, it's looking good!

I think I'm equally excited about this, as I am the Slumbering Tsar book!

HYPERBOREA ADVENTURE #2:
Taken from Dunwich
For 4 - 6 characters of  4th to  7th levels



Murder, mayhem, and abduction! After the Keltic village of Dunwich is victimized by the vhuurmis, degenerate quasi-men covered in umber-coloured fur, local druids offer land and title to those brave souls who would repair the situation. The vhuurmis are considered witless savages, seemingly incapable of organized incursions, but these particular brutes attacked with purpose and precision, taking men from Dunwich, and slaying any who opposed their black will.

The AS&SH boxes came in this week. They are a sturdy whiteboard, wrapped with a color, matte finish top lid and black & white bottom lid. Interior dimensions are 7-3/4 x 9-3/4 x 2-1/2 inches. They look great! Also, the maps are in, too, measuring 22 x 28 inches, accordion folded to about a 7-inch square. We are still in layout for the manuals.

@Mike -- I've agree to rent a shelf at NTRPG Con, so yes, I do hope to have the game there available and for sale!

With this, the FGG Rappan Athuk relaunch and the FGG Slumbering Tsar epic, I'm in for a good year of gaming goodies it seems!

According to the post above and an e-Mail update I got; the Manuals are still in layout.

Yes, it's true, the manuals are still in layout. We ran into a snag when we ran some test prints, as the illustrations were printing too dark, so I had to have our illustrator, Ian Baggley, re-send them all, a bit lightened with contrast adjusted. Other formatting using the new Indesign CS5.5 has also proved a bit tricky, but we are over the hurdle on a lot of this. The thing is, we've never wanted to rush this game out -- we want it to look as good as we can get it, but now, following the KS campaign, we also fully understand and appreciate that people have supported the game by pledging their hard-earned money. The good news is -- the boxes are in, the maps are in, the dice are in, and we grow closer to printing the manuals, and then it's packing and shipping. Things are looking good, and I hope we can start shipping by the end of the month. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm for the project -- I truly appreciate it. Cheers,  --Jeff T.
