Tell tales of dark and horrific fantasy with your friends using Robert J. Schwalb’s thrilling new tabletop roleplaying game.
The deluxe screens are headed to Schwalb Entertainment central today! The delay in delivering your books will have been worth it when you see how absurdly awesome these screens turned out. I am spending all day tomorrow boxing up your rewards and will take them to the post office first thing Monday morning. Hail Seitan!
I just sent out the download links for Demon Lord's Companion! Books are all out (except for the deluxe screens--they go out Monday), which means I'm really close to delivering everything I said I would by December. If for some reason you did not get the download link for DLC, please send me a message here and I'll get you a fresh link.
It's been a great, exciting, and exhausting year and none of it would have been possible without you. Thank you all and have a wonderful, demon-haunted holiday!

Shadow of the Demon Lord (pdf), In Need of Killing (exclusive adventure), Tales of the Demon Lord (pdf), Victims of the Demon Lord (pdf), Survival of the Fittest (achievement adventure pdf), Disciple of the Demon Lord expert path (pdf, exclusive), t-shirts, dice, mugs, and tokens, plus story packs 1, 2, 3, and 4 (1 of 3) are all out to you fine people.
Parcels are going out in bursts. There are a slew of challenges with getting these parcels out for a price I can afford with the funds collected, which means I'm buying postage for some through Backerkit and others directly from usps.gov. This means some of you get notifications when product ships and some don't. Rest assured, all of you who filled out a survey and provided me with an address have parcels coming. The target date to ship out the last is 12/19, and that includes contributor copies. Shipping has been a learning experience and a process I doubt I will do again with future campaigns.
I spoke with layout and we should have a PDF out sometime next week. Fingers crossed.
I released Miranda Horner's adventure, "With My Last Scream," this week. Next up comes Scott Fitzgerald Gray's "A Measure of a Man," followed by Skip Williams' "The Huntsman's Isle." These will be the last adventures I release in 2015.
I have two drafts in for this, one by Stephen Radney-MacFarland and the other by Chris Sims. Awaiting the third to complete this pack. I expect these to start rolling out in January after the break.
These should release at a slightly slower rate than the ones before, and should release in February and March until we wrap up the last of them.
The first batch of GM screens arrived, enough to fulfill backer rewards. They're going out now. The deluxe screens experienced a slight hold-up, but I hope to get them out on or before 12/19.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I'll be scheduling these after the holiday.
All first drafts are in (except one) and in the editor's hands. Rather than release them individually, I'll be releasing them as an anthology. I'm aiming for a January or early February release.
This will be the first big PDF release of 2016. Jack Kaiser is killing the art for this and the edited files are all in. I plan to release Tombs late January early February and highlight the release at Winter Fantasy with a four part adventure at the show.
Design continues. The book ballooned from the planned 16 pages to 24 to 32 and now some number greater than 32. Once shipping wraps and I've had a bit of a break, I'll get this one wrapped and ready for production. Expected release April 2016.
All of these are in planning and designing stages. I have pieces for all of them, so they should go quickly once I wrap Faerie. Expect these to land every other month after Realms.
Work begins on this accessory in the spring, after Frozen Wastes and before Horrors of the Void.
As I box, tape, and label boxes in the cellar, I am reminded of all the great support for this campaign you all have given me and that none of this would have been possible without you. I hope you enjoy this game we made and that you have a pleasant, demon-filled, Seitanic holiday. Thanks and see you next year!
Studio 2 Publishing's warehouse received 14 pallets of books this morning. They will be sending three pallets to Casa Schwalb via FexEx with arrival on Tuesday. Once they get here, I'll start the shipping process throughout the holiday and the weeks that follow. I expect this will take a bit of time, so I appreciate your patience as I get orders together and out the door. You have four days to get me a change of address if you need to.
Thanks!
Rob
If you are expecting physical rewards (books for example) and you have moved since you filled out your Backerkit survey, send me a message through Kickstarter so I can make the change. You have about three weeks to do this as shipping starts at the end of this month.
Thanks!
Rob
