9/21/21: POD update
over 4 years ago – Tue, Sep 21, 2021 at 11:51:23 PM

Hi everyone,

I've just ordered the proof for the book, and I hope to get it soon, though I noticed that  costs for shipping options  and the times to ship are pretty crazy. I took a screen shot so I could share it with you.


Basically, the shipping takes 4 to 6 weeks for anything other than 2 day or next day air, and those shipping costs jump exponentially.  Not sure why it's so expensive or why it takes so long, but I'll try and keep you updated as this progresses.

Hi everyone, just  hopping in with an update.

I've been having issues with the POD printer not accepting the cover, so I've been having to submit/resubmit the cover. I'm pretty sure I have it right this time, but I've been spending the past few days re-tooling the graphic design. It originally looked uninspired, and that really bugged me.

Below is what I have so far. I need put some headers in the back, and the text will be inserted in InDesign. Obviously it's barren along the top, and the spine is pretty weak.

Furthermore, I was never really happy with the style of the Title of the book, so I'm re-working that as well and lo0oking for better fonts.  Any feedback is welcome.

So sorry for the tardiness of this month's update.

I've resent the POD files for the core book, and am waiting for approval before I order a proof copy.

I need to finish the POD for the adventure (totally slipped my mind). I don't expect problems with it.

If all goes well, I'll start the first round of shipments by mid-to-late August.

To cut out favoritism, I'll be shipping books in Alphabetical order based on backer names.

Hi everyone, 

This has been a pretty crazy past month. I don't have anything to share except that I've been pretty sick, and that's made it difficult to get anything done. I tried re-ordering the POD, but now they are telling me the file formats are wrong, and I'm going to have to figure out what the heck needs fixing.

Hi everyone, 

I know it's been a while since my last update and I apologize for that. I still haven't received my proof copy for the book, and I'm thinking that I'll need to re-order it.

I wish I could give better news, but the delay in shipping is out of my hands.
