June Update - Full Steam Ahead!
Hello Everyone!
I wanted to just go over where things are at!
Book
Thanks to all of you I am able to confirm that we are now in the official version 1 stage and the book is of...
Just an update on production. As you can imagine we've picked the worst time of the year to get things printed since we're so close to Christmas and we've definitely been affected by the rush.
We do want to make sure we mention that at this stage we have little to no control over how fast things are done so we will push for updates but it is currently out of our hands!
All that said, we do have an early delivery schedule based on current estimations but it's important to keep in mind that it's exactly that, estimations.
All of this should be taken with a grain of salt and if anything changes we'll update you as soon as possible!
ESTIMATED DATES AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE
As always we can't wait for everyone to get their pledge rewards and be able to play the game in person!
I recently received the final Print Production Samples for the Book, Journal, Cards & Map.
Now a few things changed in the process and as a result some of the rewards have changed.
Originaly I promised an A5 (5.8in by 8.3in) hardcover book with B/W Artwork with 60+ pages but that has now been changed to an 100+ page A4 (8.3 in by 11.7 in) Hard Cover with fully coloured illustrations!
The Journal was an A5 Spiral Notebook but is now an A4 PU Leatherbound Journal with upgraded paper to make the writing experience even better.
The Map was orignally a smaller size at the same 8.3 in by 11.7 in and would have been paper to be easier to fold into your orders but it is now 5.8in by 8.3in and made of cloth so those who wish to hang it up can do so!. (One thing you may notice is that it is now a Map of Akeroth & not a map of Hyhill, this is due to printing issues with my original drawing and commissioning a new artist would have delayed printing and as this is a free add-on I wanted to make sure we had the book completed and delivered.)
As promised the cards have been made in full colour and new designs are drawn for all the royal cards & jokers!
The Journal, Core Rulebook & Cards
The Cloth Map of Akeroth
Not only that but I also had the Character Sheets and Journal completely redrawn by hand to give you these gorgeous new designs!

Journal Page 1
Journal Page 2
These will be packaged up as a PDF in the final Backerkit Download Update (sad horns) but if you are so inclined, feel free to download these images and print them off right now!
This means we are now entering mass production, since there are so many aspects to the production and we are doing it all with the same company we will update you with Shipping Date estimates as we near closer to completion as after that everything is forwarded to our delivery partners who will handle that side of things.
I will preface now that updates will slow down considerably due to things now being out of my control but I will still be aiming for an update every 2 months just to stay on top of things but if I have pertinant information you will get those updates immediately.
All of this is to say that we are almost at the end of this campaign and I could not be happier that I have been able to make so many improvements to the game to make this the definitive Brambletrek experience.
Thank you to the wonderful team who have been working alongside me to get this game out and polished and a huge thank you to all of you backers for making this game a reality.
I hope to speak to you soon and I wish you all the best!
I am very very excited to say that production has been greenlit with final changes made to the printed version. This means we will have samples shipped over for review and once those are approved we will swing into final production and then delivery,
I don't have an estimated date for this but I would like to keep in mind that we may fall into the Christmas rush and so may find shipping delays due to that.
This is huge step forward for the campaign and a very exciting moment for us so I wanted to share that with you!
Other News
As most of you are aware, I am gearing up to release my first novel set in the world of Akeroth, it's a very exciting project and one that I have been dreaming of doing for a very long time!
The book is currently 190,000+ words and 650+ pages (of pure text). It's going to include some amazing artwork and expand the world of Akeroth in a meaningful way! If you like Dragons and deep world building then this is the best way to experience the world more!
To celebrate this project and to thank my loyal backers I have an exciting announcement!
When backing this project, you will receive all 3 expansions to Ashes, Brambletrek & The Covens of Midnight for FREE so if you own multiple, you get to try out brand new content for all your Crossed Paths titles!
In Brambletrek - The Dragon that Came to Tea, you will be guided through a brand new story campaign in which a Shard Drake that was flying back to his home in Batesian was caught in a storm and landed within the forests of Hyhill. This child is now lost, seeking for a way to get home while healing it's body from the crash, you find the poor creature and now have to help it on its way.
This expansion will contain over 52 new exploration prompts, brand new artwork, expanded lore 13 new enemy types and a brand new legacy - The Shifter.
This will not be available outside of this campaign, nor will it ever be printed so this is your chance to get access to this module and learn what lurks beyond the borders of our world.

I know we missed July for an update but we have been so busy with the pre-production stage that we didn't have much to update you on.
I wanted to send out this update just to let everyone know that we are sending you an updated file with all the changes we made prior to going to print.
This file is the final version but we still have some time before print actually begins so if anyone sees anything that needs changing please don't hesitate to reach out as sometimes fresh eyes really do help!
I have also included the STL file for the Seer Mini Stretch Goal for all of you who wanted to get it printed out and painted.
You will see these files in your emails soon! If not please feel free to let us know and we will send you a link to retrieve them!
I also wanted to just note that as we are in production mode these updates may be a lot shorter as we go on, purely because our main part of creating this game is all done (which we see as an absolute win) but we also have a lot more to do with fulfilment so keep an eye out for updates regarding that as we get more info from the manufacturer!
Thank you again for all your patience and on-going support!
