SHIPPING UPDATE
almost 4 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
almost 4 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
almost 4 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.

Funded and 4 Stretch goals in 3 days !

Hi everyone. Natthan Senteni here, creative director at the Sinclair's Library. 

This is insane ... We were confident in our success, but we never expected that. We cannot express enough how much we appreciate your support, from our own Nonat1s community, the PF2 community as a whole, the 5E community who are joining us on this adventure, and even the Kickstarter community, who are leavin ridiculously helpful comments and guiding us through our first campaign. 

So now what ? Well the first step is recruitement. Now that we know how much we have to work with, we'll start reaching out and looking for the last two key positions for this project : the Chief Editor and the 5E Conversion Director. The team at the Library is filled with very talented designers, with 3rd party writers, Pathfinder Infinite content creators and even some Paizo freelancers. BUT we are not fiction writers, and we are not 5E designers. This is why those two positions are so important; to ensure our current weaknesses are covered by professionals. 

The 5E backers have expressed concerns about the conversion work and the desire to see some of the work. We have heard you and as soon as the Conversion Director is hired, we are making it our top priority to provide some content for you to look at. We appreciate your patience and your trust. 

In the meantime, we have plenty more stretch goals to go through and content to bring you. As well as some mystery guest writers coming soon. 

Once again, thank you eternally for your support. This is a dream come true for all of us, and you are allowing our whole team to make a living of their passion.
