Alright, the Strategy Guide is complete!
At least, aside from spellchecking. I'm bouncing it to a fresh set of eyes while I get quotes on manufacturing the hardcovers, and expect to be printing well before the end of the month. E )
Thank you everyone for hanging in there through this process! Strategy Guides, Character cards, Tricases, Figurines, and more on the way soon.
Triumphant return and Completed Pages

Magnificent news- the EPF game dev team has saved the day! I had lost hope, but they returned and we now have the Strategy Guide text ready to rock. Now the Guide will have the best guidance possible.
The Troika Hero pages are nearly done! Here's a sample Lilith page:
The Strategy Guide / Art Book will leave fine-grained detail to the Rulebook (updates derived from Discord clarifications are coming) and offer a more casual overview of character strategies you can implement. Also, it's going to be pretty.
Having a pile of high-res finished art is making the book come together fast- I should complete all Troika Hero pages today, have the Nightmares done next week, and be finalizing cover art & spellchecking in early May. Then it's printing time.
Strategy Guides, Character Card packs, Tricases, and resin figurines will all be shipping in wave 2, to complete the Skirmish campaign. We're nearly there!
Strategy Guide: Apology & Square 1

I’m sorry for the delay on producing the Strategy Guides. You guys have been patiently waiting on us, and it’s my job to deliver.
I was clinging to the assumption that the EPF developers would write it, as planned.
Since autumn of 2018 I’ve been asking them for a completion ETA. I was finally able to grasp one flotation-device of contact in early February: a reply via text.
That’s when I made the previous campaign update, repeating the expectation of Strategy Guide text by the end of February. Unfortunately nothing arrived, and winter turned to spring.
I’ve tried tweets, e-mails, phone calls, Discord messages, texts, and mutual acquaintances, but all my attempts to get in touch have failed. Even though staying connected isn’t a strong point, the EPF devs made an absolutely magnificent game! I’m still optimistic we can collaborate with them in the future, and bring you new great content.
But presently, I’m the one who ran the campaign and took your money- so the results of this judgement call are entirely on me. I’m sorry for letting you down for this long.
But I’ve got a new plan. An exciting plan.
I call this new plan, “David makes books.”
I’m going to town on the Strategy Guides myself, and I think I can get it drafted up within a couple weeks, and complete the art in a couple more.
And it should be way easier to stay in touch with myself during production. Liz told me to remove the joke which was here.
So, here we go! I’ll share progress updates as I create them. Expect more pics, page samples, and a clear path forward to your long-awaited Wave 2 merchandise.
Thanks for making this possible, and I hope your spring is off to a pleasant beginning.
-David
