August 2025 Update! Seventh update of the year!
Eyo all!
It's time for the August updates! It’s a bit mixed, but I wish to keep you all posted as much as I can!
Progress: The 5E version PDF is done! All the artwork has been inserted and the final touches are being made. The maps are one thing that is throwing a spanner in the works due to their size, for example. But that puzzle be solved soon. One thing I am debating is making a list of all the backers and putting it in the credits. However, I would need permission from everyone who would like that, so that might need its own survey. The PF1e is not far behind. PF2e is progressing steadily, but is behind due to matters discussed in previous updates. Unfortunately, I cannot give a solid timeline for that version. It's coming, but in fear of more unforeseen circumstances, I am hesitant to pin a date. A preview of the 5E version's style can be found here, as a little peek behind the curtain. If you have any feedback or suggestions, don't hesitate to message or post here!
Packages and Sending: So, now for some unfortunate news for our US friends. Package sending services to the USA have been postponed until further clarity is available. I have heard that books probably won't have the rumoured 15% tariff. If that's the case, nothing much will change. I will keep you all in the loop. As soon as I know everything is in order on the law-side of things and the postal services start up again, I'll start shipping finished books to the other side of the pond.
Community: As always, please spread the link to the Discord!
A Show of Thanks and Support: I know the release of the book has been delayed quite a bit due to different circumstances. As an apology for this on my side, I've got a little present for all the people who backed the project. Two one-shots, the PDFs of which can be found here and here. As a bonus, everybody who backed with physical products will also receive these two one-shots as free upgrades. In addition, you can find high-res versions of the maps within the one-shot on https://www.thewanderergames.com. For free, of course. You've been patient, and I wish to show my appreciation for that. Again, my apologies for the delays.
The MainQuest: For our Dutch/European (or worldwide if you're really commited) ttrpg fans, we've got nice treat. In two weeks (13-14th of September), MainQuestCon will have its first iteration in Rijswijk, The Netherlands. It is a fully TTRPG-focused con, with a nice unique side to it: there'll be a 'Main Quest'. Guests can follow the quest to get free goodies, interact with unique NPCs and defeat the BBEG at the end. The opening ceremony will be held by yours truly! If you feel like giving us a visit, use code WIJSHEID to get a couple euros discount. Tell 'em I sent you.
This is all the news I've got so far. I'll keep in touch!
Cheers,
Mark
