Hello, friends!
I am writing to give a bit of an update since it has been a while since last we spoke. The first thing I will say is how excited I am to release this book. It is by far the most artistically appealing book we have done at Pacesetter. Also, I do believe that each story included in the book came together very well.
As many of us know, normal life has been severely affected from the outbreak of COVID-19. Unfortunately, the outbreak may cause a slight delay on this project. For those who do not know, I, Ben Barsh, am a college student. I live in Michigan but go to university in southern Florida. Since the beginning of March I have been relocated and on the move several times from the closing of the university. However, I am back in Michigan and settled now. I am working vigorously with our layout designers and printers to get this book out as soon as possible. The PDF is very likely to still be released in April; however, the shipping of the physical copies may trend slightly into May. For this, I sincerely apologize. This is one of those weird life events that we could not have accounted for. That being said, we are doing everything in our power to keep working through this. I thank you all for sticking with us in this crazy time.
I will update again when we are near the end of layout. If anyone has any concerns or needs, our messages and emails are always open. Message us here on Kickstarter or email [email protected]! Everyone please stay safe! We will get through this together!!
More soon,
Ben Barsh

We have reached our closing date for BackerKit and it looks like we are about 85% complete on surveys. If you have not had the chance to go to BackerKit and complete your survey, please do so by the end of this weekend.
Regardless of your pledge level, we do need the survey completed. This insures prompt and accurate delivery of physical AND digital rewards.
Also, we have included many fantastic add-ons including two bundles with KS Backer exclusive pricing.
If you missed the BackerKit notification, please use the attached link.

Again, thank you for supporting this project!

Surprise!!

I have a little cool surprise for everyone! While editing the adventures, I realized that the "adventure location" section lacked a home, so I created one!
I have added a fully fleshed out town in the beginning of the book called Traveler's Respite. This town will be available for your use as the starting point of any of the beginnings. We like to be very "GM Friendly", so we believe this will certainly help out as a base of operations. Not all of the adventures happen near Traveler's Respite since we wanted to offer a variety of environments, but nonetheless, it is a good place for the adventurers to be tasked with their next best adventure!
Also, make sure to check your emails and fill out the Backerkit survey! If you did not receive an email from Backerkit, email [email protected]
Thank you all as always,
Ben Barsh
Backerkit Reminder & More!!

Hello, friends!
This is a little reminder to check your email and fill out the Backerkit survey. This is where you confirm shipping address, pay shipping, and add any add-ons. Most of the backers have filled it out; however, if you have not, check your emails for that link. If you were not sent a link, message us or email [email protected] for assistance!
Second, and last, on this update is an opportunity for you! One of our stretch goals adds a character creation chart to the book! If you would like to submit a table for that character creation process, email [email protected]! If you would like to contribute a little bit to this incredible book, we encourage you to do so!
That is all for now! The book is moving along well, and it should be into final layout shortly (few weeks at most). This one is looking like a solid on-time/early release. Thank you all so much for the support!!

A quick follow up on our previous BackerKit update. First, thanks to all of you who have already completed the process. Second, we inadvertently disconnected PayPal as a payment option. It’s always been available on our previous KS/BackerKit projects but somehow the link was disabled. It’s fixed now. Therefore, you can pay for shipping and add-ons via credit cards or PayPal as of the posting of this update. Our apologies for any inconvenience!
Respectfully
