We made it !! Right around the 48 hour mark, the 130k Stretch goal was hit. And we are thrilled about it. This ancestry has been in the workshop for some time now and we were hoping to get the chance to really develop it to its full extent. We will be announcing it just like we did the shaman class, our Art Director is working on the sketch as I am writing this.

Thank you all again for the amazing support and trust.

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for your continuing support. 110k and counting, we are moving one stretch goal at the time and it's all thanks to you.

110k Stretch Goal

Speaking of the 110k Stretch Goal, we have an update coming soon regarding the Organisations, with some sample content to showcase better what they are, what they are meant for and how to use them.

LUIS LOZA

Having reached the 100k stretch goal, we are graced by the presence of a guest writer, Luis Loza, who will be writing some content for the Almanac. We are honored to have him working with us, and cannot wait to see what he will be cooking up for you.

5e Conversion Director and Chief Editor

We have been discussing back and forth with our two top candidates for these roles and are getting ready to announce who they are soon. We are confident they will both bring something unique and personal to this project. More to come.

Demo Content

There has been some request for demo materials,  notably from the 5e community and we have heard you. We are at the layout stage of releasing a Demo PDFs, containing some Almanac player options as well as the Organisation sample, for both PF2 and 5e. Hopefully this will help our backers get a better feel for the type of content we are working on.

Brazilian Localisation

We have been approached by Tria Editora, a publishing company in Brazil, to handle the Portuguese translation, and the production and distribution of the Library in Brazil. The team at Tria Editora has extensive experience, and most have worked on official Paizo localisation projects.

Upcoming FAQ

We will be doing another FAQ video in the following week to answer questions. If you have any unanswered questions, reach out to us here, on the Nonat1s Twitter or Nonat1s Discord Channel. We will compile the questions and answer them as best we can.

That's it for today. We know we haven't been communicating much in the last week of the campaign. A lot of things are up in the air, pending confirmation or too early to commit publicly. But rest assured, our team is working relentlessly behind the scenes to put everything together so the creation process can go smoothly and the writers can truly focus on creating quality content. More news as soon as they come.

SHIPPING UPDATE
over 2 years ago – Thu, May 12, 2022 at 08:28:29 PM

Many of you were worried about shipping cost, notably our friends from outside the USA, and with good reasons too. The supply chain is a mess, gas price is through the roof and international shipping costs are higher than ever. We have looked at different options and came to a decision. We will be printing in three different locations : USA, UK and AUS. The books will be shipped from the printer and stored in a local warehouse, and go from the warehouse directly to your house with the rest of your pledge.

Pros 

Ecofriendly  This way of doing things is very eco-friendly as we are limiting the shipping distance for our books, and none of them needs to cross an ocean.

Cost Effective By printing and storing locally, we can also ship locally. Meaning no international shipping fees for anyone, bringing shipping fees way down.

Cons

Logistics Most of our addons are still produced in US and will need to be dispatched to our warehouses in other countries. International shipping being what it is, despite our best effort, there might be a delay between the books being printed and the rest of your pledge reaching the warehouse. 

Estimated Shipping Prices

Those prices are an estimation, as we cannot tell exactly what shipping prices will be in a year. But even if they do change, you can expect local shipping prices, rather than international ones. 

Europe European shipping being what it is at the moment, our warehousing and fulfillement company have temporarily stopped shipping from the UK to the EU. We are waiting for the situation to resolve itself so we can get a price estimate. We have looked into contigency plans in case it does get resolve quickly enough.  

Brazil Our hardcover books are going to be available to the Brazilian community, however not through this Kickstarter. Update regarding this coming soon.

100K soon !!! Full Scaled Colore Ilustration goals explained
over 2 years ago – Tue, May 10, 2022 at 02:28:15 AM

With the 100k mark getting close, some of you might be wondering what the " Upgraded to To Full Scaled Colored Illustration " might mean. Well illustrations are expensive, and since we wanted to commit to illustrating every single NPC, we had to find a way to keep it reasonably priced. So Nathaniel Himawan, AKA Ninesicks, our almighty Art Director, came up with different quality grades for each type of NPC. 

Now it's time to throw this out the window. With each of the " Fully Illustrated " goal, an additional category of NPC gets the full treatment. Here's Kobiel, our fallen angel, before and after the extra hours spent to really bring the illustration to the next level. 

As a writer (who can't draw), there is something very unique in seeing your creations come to life, to have those characters extracted from your head and laid down in front of you. We hope these illustrations will help you appreciate meeting them as much as we enjoyed creating them for you. 

The New Class Has Been Unlocked - The Shaman
over 2 years ago – Sun, May 08, 2022 at 05:04:05 AM

Hi Everyone, 

Thanks to your backing and support, we will be able to bring you our second brand new class : The Shaman ! 

The Shaman is the second class we have been working on in parallel with the Thanator. Since we were tackling the concept of CON based classes, after making a martial class the next logical step was making a spellcasting class. And we felt the Shaman was way overdue for a fresh look. It seems when writers think of Shamans, they immediately think of the typical native american shaman in communion with the spirits of nature.  We wanted to move away from this and explore a different avenue with it. Our Shaman draws inspiration from more obscure portrayals of Shamanism and Spiritualism throughout the legends of the world, from the mystical warrior leading war parties, to the mysteries of blood magic.
