Hi everyone!
Let's start with some previews and then we'll tackle the elephant in the room, Tariffs.
Preview
Here's another preview for how our layout is going, this time for our Novpo Gazetteer.
Tariffs
Tariffs are something the entire TTRPG industry is dealing with, and there's no consensus yet on what the right thing to do is. So far we have been spending a lot of blood, sweat, and tears trying to come up with a plan and will let you know when we do. For now, we intend to delay any production (when we get to that point) until we have things figured out. In the meantime, we are still working hard to get the 5e PDF out as soon as its ready and in an amazing state.
That's all for now, hope y'all are doing well.

We've got an amazing project to share, from our friends at Nine Heavens Press, we know you'll love it! Look below for some of their amazing art and previews!
The Black Market Guide to Immortality is a 5e/PF2e sourcebook that explores the obsession for eternal life that has captivated East Asian faith and mythologies. Magic merchant (criminal), Shin Seul-ki, shares all the hidden secrets of the divine including: new ancestries/species, subclasses, a bestiary of 100+ creatures, and additional lore expanding on settings based on China, Japan, and Korea!

Hey all!
Exciting news, Manchae has gotten a lot of layout design done and things are looking GORGEOUS. I have some previews for y'all below.
Manchae said he's hoping to have layout done by summer, we are all working hard adding some art and text to fill some gaps that come up in the layout process. For now, enjoy the first four pages of the Atsatray gazetteer!
That's all for today, happy April

Hey all
Sorry for the late update, my youngest child has been having trouble sleeping the last several nights and when he can't sleep none of us can sleep.
Our layout artist Manchae is also reporting having spent the last several weeks dealing with a health situation that is currently improving and he is very excited to get back to focusing on layout for Koboa!
In the meanwhile we got several quick playtest pf2 Forms cooking. They have been going through editing and we will hopefully be putting them out to all of y'all soon to check out.
Stay tuned in!

Hey everyone,
Adrián here!
There isn't a lot to update right now - layout progresses a bit slower than we'd like, our layout artist has been having health issues that have kept him from being able to work on Koboa. He asked me to write here that he is sorry that our backers will have to wait a bit more due to his health concerns.
That being said, we've been adding some plain text previews from our deities and our gazeteers chapters on our discord channel! Come discuss your opinions on previews or talk about playtesting with us!
Over and out

December/January Update

Hi all hi all!
First off, sorry for the late update. A bunch of us have been on holiday. I myself travelled to visit family in Brazil and had a health situation come up (everything is fine now but I was out of commission a few days). I'll take this opportunity to line up our updates with the beginning of the month, which makes a lot more sense in my head than two-thirds through the month.
In terms of actual updates, layout is going well. Our layout artist Manchae has produced some fantastic proofs of concept I'm excited to show you (below). I can't remember if this was mentioned in a previous update but I should note that text is 100% finalized (barring any text we'll add, if any, during layout to help line things up), edited, and sensitivity reviewed, as is 100% of the art (barring any new art commissions if we find ourselves feeling we want more art somewhere during layout).
In terms of logistics we've started looking at fulfillment/distribution options as well as manufacturing options.
We've made a bit of progress with our PF2 conversion and the BF conversion is maybe 85% done (but hasn't gone through any editing yet). We'll hopefully have another PF2e playtest soon but right now getting the 5e book and other products out to our backers takes priority.
That's mostly it on my end, I appreciate your patience with this delayed update!
Happy 2025 for all you Gregorians out there!

PS: Here's the layout Proof of Concepts, please bear in mind we're focusing on how things look at a high level and will polish out details in the next pass.
