Hey Everyone,
Chris and I are doing a signing today, March 23rd 2024 from 1-3 PM at Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles. If you're in town, please stop by!
We'll also be doing a live demo of the module and with some special guests after the signing Golden Apple. It will be streamed live on WhatNot, the auction app. Here's the link.
It's free to join, and a chance to get to watch me Dungeon Master the adventure. I will not be wearing a wizard costume but I can guarantee shenanigans.
Also, if by some chance you haven't received your rewards, please fill out your survey. If you've filled out your survey but still haven't received your rewards, please message us and let us know.
As always, thanks for your support. It's so great having not just a comic I'm proud of out in the world, but a module that I can run. We quite literally could not have done this without all of you.

Fulfillment and RPG Writing Class

Hey Everyone,
As I write this, Chris is headed over to my apartment, which is currently filled with comics, dice, mailers etc. to work on fulfillment with me. Our goal this week is to try send out rewards to everyone who has filled out their survery on Backerkit. If you haven't, please do so as soon as you can so we can get your books etc. to you.
Also, this *February I'm going to be teaching Writing for Comics and Roleplaying Games, an online continuing education class at SVA (The School for Visual Arts). Once a week, we'll be meeting online to learn how to create adventures for tabletop RPGs like (but definitely not limited to) D&D. We'll cover dungeon design, cartography, writing mysteries, raids and heists etc. Even if you don't want to become a professional designer, I think it will make you a better gamemaster and player.
As a bonus, as Chris has mentioned that we've already been working on Chaotic Neutral #2. I plan on using the module for that adventure as a demo, so you'll be able to get a sneak peak.
I've been teaching writing for comics, film, tv, games etc. at SVA for grad students for over 10 years, and as far as I know this is the only writing class of it's kind at an accredited institution. Unlike my grad school classes, open to anyone.
You can sign up here: https://sva.edu/academics/continuing-education/illustration-and-comics/related-courses/writing-adventures-for-tabletop-role-playing-games-24-cs-vnc-2416-ol
*(While the class starts in February, the deadlines to sign up is the last week in January).
Thanks as always for your patience, can't wait to get more books into your hands, and hope I get the chance to see some of you in class this semester.

Happy New Year!
Just wanted to pop in and let you all know that the Zipped PDF of Issue 1 should be in all of your inboxes. The making of PDF will be sent in the next couple of days. For those of you who backed the original art tier, Keep your eyes peeled for another file so you can pick your top 5 choices. Mark and I have begun physical fulfillment. We started with domestic backers who got the book only which went in the mail yesterday. All Signed and sketched books will go out Tuesday, and the rest of the domestic orders will go out at the end of the week, if all goes as planned. International shipping will also be done ASAP. If you still haven't filled out your survey, please do, even if you just got the digital rewards. This keeps everything nice and tidy in the cyclone of chaos that is fulfillment. Note that I may be reaching out to some of you as your addresses bounced back when I tried to get a shipping label. Just need to clarify and we will get this off as soon as we can. We cannot wait to hear what you all think of issue 1. We are getting all of the ducks in a row for a hopeful 2024 release of issue 2, which you will not have to wait nearly as long for.
Good Tidings in the shiny new year to you all,
Chris Anderson

Hey All,
Chris Here. We still have 100 surveys that need to be completed. So If you haven't filled yours out yet, please search your email for Backer Kit and Chaotic Neutral so you can get those to us ASAP. We are going to start fulfillment tomorrow, so any filled out after that may be delayed. Thanks to all of you who jumped on them and got those in. A lot of you added on other comics, commissions, dice and more, so thank you. Digital rewards will be sent soon. Can't wait for you all to get these in your hands. And remember, we can make that happen a lot sooner if you get those surveys in to us by the morning.
All the best,
Chris Anderson
SURVEY REMINDER!

Hey Everyone!
By now you should have all gotten Backerkit surveys, which is the last step before fulfillment.
Just about 3/4 of you have filled them out. I realize it's a busy time, but you haven't filled yours out yet please do so as soon as you can. We are aiming to get your rewards out before the New Year, and we'd like to send as many books as possible out in one big push.
If for some reason you haven't recieved a survey, please let us know and we'll make sure you do.
(AS a reminder we did NOT charge shipping during the campaign, so there's that to tack on but also remember you can add-on lots of other goodies if you wish. Also, if you're picking up locally, you can select it in the country drop down right at the beginning of the survey).
Thank you all for your patience and support. We are beyond excited to get the books, dice, sketches etc. in your hands.
Wishing you all the happiest of Holidays,
Mark
