Hey folks,

Good news all the manufacture is done of all the main products like the hardcover books softcover comics, dice and more are on the way. All the shipping and manufacture is paid and it is in transit. The only issue is Covid is still delaying shipments from China. I am hoping all products will be in by July 20th and we will start the machine up and send out as many orders as we can possibly can from the 20th onwards!

Apologies for the delays but the shipping is out of my control and as soon as we receive them we will process them as fast as we can with our small team.

Books are completed

They have been shipped on July the 5th but could be here anytime by July 20 and then we will ship them and all rewards which are already here to all fans. Due to timing Australians will get it first then all overseas orders.

Great news everyone. The Digital version of the Bai Ze and the Book of Monsters is now finished.

It is now being sent out via Backerkit. If anyone has any problems downloading it from Backerkit or using Backerkit at all don't hesitate to let us know and we can send you a direct link to the PDFs on Dropbox.

This also means that the book is now at the printers!! It'll probably still take about a month for the book to get printed and shipped to us but we are still excited at reaching this next step. 

Look forward to more news.

The book is nearing completion - Orders are being shipped
almost 3 years ago – Sat, Mar 12, 2022 at 07:20:08 PM

Hey folks

Great news, the book is about 95% done I am in the process of editing the writing and just waiting on a few artists to submit art for their anthology story.  I have done all art for the d&d campaign part of the book and literally only have to letter and color 7 pages of the comic. I am well ahead of schedule.

Once I clean up the writing of the D&d Campaign and get my team to proof it ill send out a digital copy of the 5E campaign section so people can start using my content asap! Possibly End of March early April!!!


I also plan to have the comic painted by early April who knows mid April the whole book should be done and dusted to the printing press. We have almost finished printing all miniatures and many orders have already been shipped for miniatures and dice. The Dice are also being shipped if you selected to get it in a silver tin tray. 

All products are also in production, enamel pins coins, more dice, dice boxes in wood, dice bags, t-shirts the whole lot! I plan to have all orders shipping from now depending on the complexity and what people have ordered and I am sure we will hit the deadline of all products leaving my studio by June but I will be shipping the books as soon as they are here. 

Once the book goes to press early April it will take some time to print and get right the book is larger it has gone from 120 pages to 156 it is massive I have thrown in extra content on the house and no cost to you. The physical book I assure you will be out of tthe studio by june. 

Wooden Dice box delay

All dice are being made and I have loads of people's dice orders here. Those who just ordered dice with a tin box should have it or have it on the way. There is still a delay with the wooden box factory. The factory is going through extra Occupational Health and Safety checks to ensure that staff is safe and that the factory is producing the best quality boxes. This came about in the new year as in China factories can sometimes get random compliance checks.  I think the only thing that may hold back your order is if the wooden boxes are taking too long or the factory has issues. This is out of my control and I do advise if you want the dice to come asap when the books arrive in late may please let me know and we can change it to a tin box.


New Dice and Kickstarters coming

So around March 23- April 12 I am going to launch a new dice that I sculpted. It is a caged dragon dice. If the factory informs me that the wooden boxes are up for production again we will have it as an add on to have the wooden box but for the new metal caged dragon dice, I will be doing tin. Also, the first 100 backers will get a free D20 SPHERICAL DRAGON DICE!! As soon as Kickstarter approves the project ill share it here in an update.

Caged Dragon dice coming March 23

Second graphic novel MAY 23 UNTIL June 13

Once the caged dragon dice order is fulfilled if it funds and goes well I also plan to release the second graphic novel that Dmitry and I have been working on in the background.  It will be a 68 page graphic novel with 24 pages of the Baize story and then continuing on with Thrakos journey. This is because the Baize itself is just a comic but I will be adding another 30 pages of comics to finish the story arch. It will also be my second Graphic novel out!!!

Some Sample pages!

Here are some sample pages from the book. Still need some editing but just was so happy with the way they are going had to show it off!
