Rejoice, Heroes of the Golden Throne! The moment we've all been eagerly awaiting has arrived at last - the books are READY!

As we speak, the tomes are being whisked away to our fulfillment centers, where they shall await their grand distribution. The wheels of destiny are turning, and soon, your rewards shall be within reach.

But heed this call, brave champions, for the time has come to lock in your shipping information.You'll receive an email from Backerkit asking you to confirm your shipping address. If nothing has changed since you answered your survey, you won't have to do anything. Just check that your address information is correct and you're good to go. If, on the other hand, you need to update your information, please notice that this is your last chance to do so!

Once our industrious gnomes have sorted out and prepared your rewards, they’ll be promptly dispatched to you, swifter than a Firemane!

Yet, we must speak of a minor delay for our esteemed backers across the seas. Those in Europe and the UK shall need to exercise a touch of patience, as the books must first journey from our US fulfillment center to a UK-based one. But have no fear, for we’ll try to minimize any possible delay, and we’ll keep you updated on the shipment progress.

As this wonderful adventure approaches its triumphant conclusion, we really can’t thank you enough for your support, knowing that we wouldn’t be able to make it without you. May your rolls always be Open-Ended!

Greetings, Mighty Heroes of the Golden Throne! 
The moment we've all eagerly awaited has arrived, Secrets of the Golden Throne is finally ready!

Prepare yourselves, for an email from DrivethruRPG shall soon find its way to your inboxes. Within it, you’ll find a link to add a digital copy of the book to your account. As there are many valiant backers in our fellowship, the Pixies may take a little while to deliver your missive. Fear not if it doesn't arrive immediately; give it at least 48 hours to journey through the digital realms.

But that's not all, dear heroes! The physical manifestation of the book is also approaching completion. We’re diligently finalizing the files to be sent to the printer, and as soon as we receive the first proof from them, we’ll have a clearer idea on the physical books delivery dates.

A final word of counsel, our esteemed champions: your address can still be modified in your Backerkit account, should you need it. Please, take a moment to review your shipping information and ensure everything contained there is correct.

Again, we cannot overstate the importance of your support and contribution to our journey. On behalf of the whole Open Ended Games team, thank you for your unwavering dedication in the fight Against the Darkmaster, and for turning this dream into a reality!

Greetings, brave heroes of Awallon!

Our journey through the layout phase encountered some unexpected hazards, as external forces conspired to slow our pace. But fear not, for we have emerged victorious! The Secrets of the Golden Throne layout is now complete.

In celebration of this triumph, we extend our deepest gratitude for your unwavering patience, and present to you the final Early Access version of the book, which will allow you to venture into the land of Awallon before the rest of the world. As usual, you’ll find the link to the Early Access version waiting for you in the digital download section of your Backerkit account, together with all the other files you have access to (please note that this may still contain some typos and other minor issues that will be smoothed out before release).

Before the final release, the manuscript will undergo a final round of revisions, to ensure that every word, table, and illustration, resonates with the brilliance you deserve. It is in this pursuit of perfection that we must confess a small delay beyond our original schedule, which we’re sure you’ll understand, once you’ll see the result. 

We, too, share your anticipation, and the delay pains us. Yet, in our hearts, we know that delivering excellence requires a touch of patience. A wise man once said “late is just for a little while, suck is forever”, and we remain committed to providing you with the best possible version of Secrets of the Golden Throne.

Fear not, for our quills are swift, and our resolve unyielding. The scheduled release date may shift slightly, but rest assured that Secrets of Golden Throne will grace your hands soon.

Continue to stand with us, heroes of Awallon, as we brave the final leg of this extraordinary journey. Your support is our armor, your enthusiasm our sword. Together, we shall soon revel in the glory of our shared triumph against the forces of Darkness.

Hail, valiant Heroes of the Golden Throne, our journey nears its epic conclusion!

We're very excited to announce that, thanks to the tireless work of our scribes, Secrets of the Golden Throne is nearly complete.

Alas, like any grand quest, we've encountered an unexpected hazard during our journey. Some of our illustrations required an extra dash of magic to reach their full glory, and we were forced to recommission them. Fear not, however, because these trifle inconveniences should not further delay our mission The PDF release of Secrets of the Golden Throne remains scheduled for November.

A last Early Access version of the complete book, including the full campaign, shall grace your inboxes within the next few weeks. This is your chance to explore the land of Awallon before the rest of the world joins our quest. Soon after, Secrets of the Golden Throne will be released on DrivethruRPG and we’ll prepare for its glorious print run.

Our journey has been long and arduous, and without your help we couldn't have made it. We're eternally grateful for your unwavering support in the fight against the savage hordes of the Maimed King!

Keep your ears to the wind, for we have more Against the Darkmaster news and surprises on the horizon! Until the next scroll unfurls, may your spirits remain high and your swords keen.
