Project Update: 🎉 Final* Digital Documents Are Ready! Locking Pledges Saturday.
Hey all!
Evan here, and wow, I've been burning the midnight oil. If you've been holding off looking at the beta games docs until they were completed, well now's your chance! I've just released v1.99 of all 3 books (click the backers only link at the very far bottom to access the latest files—or use the same link from before). These are 99% content complete, very playable (and based off playtesting feedback, an absolute home run in terms of fun!).
From here there will (likely) only be minor tweaks to get ready for print. I have a team of professional editors going through them checking for typos and making sure everything makes sense, so no need to report that. If you'd like even more details, check out the latest live stream (just the first few minutes is all you need to watch for the project updates).
Timeline
I'm not going to attempt to guess the exact timeline since it it mostly out of my hands at this point with editors, printers, and shipping professionals. Rest assured things are moving forward as quickly as they can. But I can tell you what I know:

Timeline
I'm not going to attempt to guess the exact timeline since it it mostly out of my hands at this point with editors, printers, and shipping professionals. Rest assured things are moving forward as quickly as they can. But I can tell you what I know:
- This past Monday I sent the deposit payment to the printer to get things moving with them and there are no delays.
- The editors will take the next few weeks to comb through all the documents.
- While they're doing that, I'll be finishing up the rest of the digital files (GM screen, cards, etc.) and prepping them for print and the final digital delivery.
- The printer will produce and send me "wet proofs" a few copies of the printed boxed set to check for final production errors.
- Once approved, we'll move into full print production & assembly.
- Pallets of product will get placed in a shipping container on a boat and transported to a warehouse in the UK and here in the US for final fulfillment. (5-10 weeks)

Preordering
If you haven't purchased yet, you can still preorder online. Or if you want to support a local shop, a number of retail shops in the US will be carrying Nimble (feel free to have your local shop reach out if you'd like them to carry it [email protected]) I'll try and have a list on the website eventually. If you live in the EU, Asmodee games has purchased a sizable number of units for purchase as well.
What's Next?
Thanks to the wide open license, the Nimble homebrewing scene is already busily creating some really cool things. I'm going to be working on the website to feature 3rd party content, GMs who run Nimble and tools to help you make your own homebrew and even publish 3rd party content.
I'm going to take a brief break when all the above it finished. Afterward, I'm considering a patreon or something similar for people interested in additional content. Nothing concrete yet, but let me know if that'd be something you're interested in.
Thank You
Thank you all for your continued support, patience, and trust in me. This has been quite the project, and it's grown much bigger and much better than I could have ever reasonably expected it to. I'm really excited for the future.
