Greetings backers!
I'm sitting at my desk, turning over the first printed copy of Herald: Lovecraft & Tesla the Tabletop Roleplaying Game, and it looks great! The binding is strong and the colors are bright; it's 180 pages of roaring 20s adventure just waiting to happen! As if that's not enough awesome news, I've received the printed proof of "A Fistful of Dholes" as well, and it looks fantastic- like Weird Tales Magazine has returned to print, which is just what we were going for. We're so excited for you to get a hold of these books!
What we're waiting for now is for your copies of Fistful of Dholes to be printed and mailed to the warehouse. As soon as those adventures and the battle maps have arrived, the fulfillment of rewards will begin. I'll be posting some better snapshots of the book to social media soon, giving you a close-up look at its construction, so keep an eye on the Herald Facebook page and the @ravendeskgames twitter account!
More updates soon!

A Fistful of Dholes on PDF

Howdy backers!
For today's Monday update we're giving you something that will go very nicely with those Herald sourcebook PDFs that you already have- the standalone PDF adventure "A Fistful of Dholes" by John Reilly and Pete Sauber! Go ahead and log into your Backerkit account and click on "digital downloads." Your adventure will be waiting for you!
As we speak, the print-ready file for "A Fistful of Dholes" is at the printer and we're waiting for a couple of proof copies to arrive, so we can see how it will look and feel in printed form. Assuming that we're satisfied with it, we'll order a printed copy for each backer who has "A Fistful of Dholes (print)" as part of their reward tier.
Just a reminder, the softcover editions of the Herald sourcebook are in the process of being printed, so the next you hear about them, they should be arriving at the warehouse. We'll post some pictures of the print editions of Herald the RPG and "Fistful of Dholes" as soon as we have the copies! So stay tuned!

KS exclusive long-form Adventure
A Fistful of Dholes John Reilly's long-form adventure is filled with amazing art by Tom Rogers (cover art by Colin Dyer). It all begins on a cold winter night, 1924 Chicago...
Welcome to the Savage Worlds of Cosmic Horror.
This Kickstarter exclusive long-form adventure was the final piece of the puzzle, and it's been sent to the printers already. Once we receive word that the last of the printed books have arrived at the warehouse and have started to ship, we'll let everyone know.
Development is done! No more proofreading, no more layout adjustments, no more editing (re-editing/re-re-editing). That's it! All rewards have been produced now and we're so excited to get Herald: Lovecraft & Tesla the Tabletop RPG into your hands. You've been so patient and understanding, and we here at Ravendesk Games appreciate that more than we can express.
We expect our next update to include specific shipping dates/timelines. TTFN!
Update 10/10

Hello again Herald backers!
A brief update this week, just to check in and let you know we're still making progress on rewards! Our main focus this past week has been to finalize the standalone adventure "A Fistful of Dholes" by John Reilly and Pete Sauber. The last bits are in place and after a little more design to the document we'll be sending it off to print. "A Fistful of Dholes" is a Kickstarter exclusive, so we won't be printing as many copies as we are the main Herald setting book. A short run means that they won't take nearly as long to produce, which is why we've waited to finish the design of this reward until the main book was in production.
The guys have written a fantastic story and we are so excited for you all to dig into it! Once we have it off to print, we'll create a pdf version which we will upload to Backerkit, and you can check it out! Hopefully this will be in before the next update!
Until next week!
