As it stands, all this treasure is set to arrive at their various distribution centers by the end of April. From there, we’ll begin shipping your packages to you! We’ll keep you abreast of how the high seas be treatin’ your bounty.
The last bit to be done manufacturing is the pirate coin. Getting this fancy trinket perfect has been an important part of the project. As such, we’re happy to offer you a sneak peek at what the coin looks like!
Like everything else, the coins be a headin’ our way across the sea. We be expectin’ them on the same timeline—late April.

Project Update: Happy Holidays & Project Update!
‘Tis the season for bein’ jolly! The winter solstice edges ever nearer, and as we hang up our black flags to don gay apparel, we’ve got one last update for ya to ring in the new year! This is a short one, friends, as we were here with ya only a couple weeks ago, but wanted to send off the end of the year with a final message in a bottle.
Happy Holidays
We hope you have a wonderful holiday season filled with delicious food, loving friends, and exciting games!
Project Update
The samples we spoke about have been tumblin’ in slowly but surely. We’re happy ta let you know that everything for the campaign is now in production! What does that mean? It means maps, coins, dice, and the book are now being printed!
That means we’ll be getting a lot of shiny treasure in 2025 to show to ya, and then add to your loot bags! It’s only been a couple of weeks since our last update, so there haven’t been pictures of anything to share, but we’ll have updates in January 2025 to show you!
For the play materials, our design team has been busy working on the proofs and updating all of those, but unfortunately, we haven’t had time to get to the play materials. These are a top priority for January 2025 and we hope to have them on the next update for you!
Next Adventures
We’re out of the office starting the end of next week to recover from a challenging and exciting year. We’ll be back in January with a new update, your play materials, and exciting information! Stay warm and keep sailin’!
Hi, i don't know how or where to find the character sheets???

Project Update: Samples are in & Proofs coming soon!
Hoist the black flag! Ready the cannons! We’ve got news of some mighty fine treasure nearly ready for the takin’!
Samples Arriving
We managed ta pillage some boats tha have come in with treasure, friends! We’ve been receiving samples from some of our production companies, including samples of dice and the dice trays! The colors aren’t perfect on them, so we’re going to do some corrections and once the samples come back as what we’ll be shipping to you, we’ll share some pictures.
Right now, we’re happy to say the samples look incredible (outside of some color discrepancies)! We can’t wait until we can share the final proofs with you!
Print Proofs & Next Steps
Soon we’ll be unearthin’ some mighty treasure from the bowels of a commandeered ship. Our crew will be able to see the first proofs of our mighty books! These proofs will be the first rounds sent out. We’ll be ensuring that they look like what we’ll be sending to you before we share pictures.
Proof rounds can last a few weeks as we ensure colors match, the text sits right on the page, and make any edits we need to. Once we finish the round of proofs, that means printing will begin!
We know you’ve been askin’ about the play materials and we hear ya. We’re hopin’ to have those to ya before we head off on the Winter Holiday break at the end of December!
Next Adventures
The end o’the year draws ever closer, hearties. We’ll be reportin’ back in next month a bit early with any and all updates we have. Once we have final proofs, you’ll be gettin’ some fancy pictures to assuage the gruellin’ wait for the books ta be in your hands. Till next time!

Project Update: At the Printer & Final PDF Proof!
Avast, me hearties! We hope ya had a delightfully spooky time yestereve and prepare for some excitin’ news. Let’s not tarry and dive into the update so ya can see what we mean!
Final PDF Preview
We’re excited to show you a final PDF preview! What does tha mean? Well, it means that this beauty might change in small ways dependin’ upon what our printer says, but otherwise this book is complete.
These small changes will be finalized in the comin’ weeks once our printer outlines any changes they need. After that, we’ll create a final PDF, along with play materials, and deliver that tha same way–through Backerkit.
Ya can grab yer final PDF preview in Backerkit right now by headin’ over to your digital downloads. In case ya need tha link, here it be:

At the Printers
Caught that, did yah? That’s right, friends. Our beauteous little treasure is off to the printers! Tha means that they’ll be goin’ o’er the document with a fine tuned comb to make sure all the colors will come out right and all the text is perfect in print. From there, they’ll send us some proofs for us to look at it. This process can take several weeks, but once the final proofs are approved, they’ll begin printin’!
Next Adventures
Good news ahead, me mateys. With the printer havin’ tha book in their hands, that means printing–and thus shipping–aren’t too far behind. We’ll keep ya updated with how the printing is going and let ya know when the final proofs are approved and printin’ has begun. From there, timelines will start rollin’ in on shipping dates. Savvy?
