Hey there everyone,

Hope you're all keeping well and the new year is treating you okay.

Unfortunately we've hit a small setback with the project. Over the last month I've repeatedly tried to get into contact with the layout artist but haven't been able to get through to them to get the unproofed pdfs. I'm not sure what's going on, there are any number of reasonable personal reasons why this has been the case, but it's meant that the pdfs haven't been able to go out for proofing.

I do have a back up plan to make sure the project goes on though. I've managed to import the last working pdf I was sent into my layout program and tracked down the fonts that were used. Doing this has screwed up all of the line weights and leading so I'll need to manually go through and fix the whole document before it can be sent off for proofing. I expect this process to take around several hours so it'll be a pain in the ass but doable.

Sorry about the bad news! It sucks that something like this has come up just after funding but I'll make sure this get backs on track and that you all have the book in your hands soon. In some better news, Teuthida from Octopus Ink Games has finished up the first draft of the stretch goal adventure Hit the Ground Running and I've taken a swing a blocking out the layout for it. We should be able to get an early version of it into your hands (well, files technically) by the time I sort out fixing the Daedalus PDF (shooting for late next week).

Will keep you all updated with any news when I get it. I'm shooting for an update each month at the very least until this book is out the door.

All the best,
Sean
