Latest Updates from Our Project:

Layout Progress
4 days ago – Wed, Sep 04, 2024 at 12:42:18 AM

Dear backers,
Layout is approaching completion, and we just wanted to share some progress spreads of the book. Emily’s doing a wonderful job of marrying accessibility and the scrapbook style we were after.

Nearly there!

Dear backers, 

Thanks for your patience. Sensitivity reading on the game is complete, and it's currently with Emily for layout. The PDF is projected to be completed by the first week of September. At that point, we'll send the digital copies to Standart Impressa and they'll take around two weeks to print. Then we'll be sending copies to Critical Kit Ltd for fulfilment from the UK, and a bunch to Studio 2 and Indie Press Revolution in the US.

The podcast will soon start recording, and Alchemy VTT have just started rolling out their creator tools, so we can begin work on implementing our play materials. The Curse anthology, Ripples is in the final draft stage, and we have a completed cover from Crowva (see below).

The scope of the project grew in unexpected ways, but we're confident the wait will be worth it!

Best wishes,
Team Hatchlings

 

 

Update and Delay!
about 2 months ago – Sat, Jul 20, 2024 at 02:48:16 AM

Dear backers,

Apologies for the delay. We didn't quite anticipate the 50+ additional pages of content needed to cover guidelines on creating your own Curses, and running the campaign. We just need to finish sensitivity reading before sending the final copy to Emily for layout. 

The custom dice have all been crafted by Myles and the pins are on their way, so it should all coincide nicely with the book, map and sticker printing.

Final drafts of the anthology (now called 'Ripples') are due by the end of July, and the podcast series will start production around that time too.

Much thanks,
Team Hatchlings

Payment Methods

Dear backers,
Just a quick update. A few people have said their banks won't accept Stripe payments, so I've added PayPal integration this morning. Hope this helps some of you. 
Best wishes,
