Firstly, another quick reminder regarding surveys! There are missing backers who have not filled in the surveys through Backerkit. If you are one of them, check your emails for an invite. Otherwise you can message us or retrieve your survey through here - https://mystified.backerkit.com/.
For the backers who backed at The Chief Inspector and The Wanderer level, please check your emails. We've just sent another reminder as there are a few of you who haven't gotten back to us. It's important to reply as we can't include your commission in the book until we get that information from you.

We're happy to share some of the book layouts with you below :)
We're hoping to finish the first draft of the book by November. We're still on track to hopefully get this published by the first quarter of 2025. We'll keep you updated once we have a better estimate.
We've also reprinted Flabbergasted. We received advance copies of the reprint and the books should be in our warehouse by November. So exciting! We're really happy with the quality and will be using this printer to print Mystified and the GM Screens as well. Our last update is that the art briefs have been sent out and our artist is working on the final illustrations for Mystified. The artist Dozerdraws will be creating a full illustration for the start of each chapter.
That's all for this update! Please message us if you have any queries.
