Hardcover Bundles Available to Order! - Post-campaign update 21
about 2 years ago – Tue, Feb 15, 2022 at 08:09:28 PM

Hi everyone! 

Hope your February has been going well! I've been working with our layout artist and dealing with shipping delays on proofs, but here are some worthwhile updates:


Hardback Gamebook Bundles, sending out today: I received our proofs for the hardcover 8.5x11in gamebooks and the came out perfectly! We have never done a premium color, hardcover version of Axon Punk so this is really impressive to see how well it came out. Our layout artist and graphic designer, Charles Mayo, is fantastic at his craft and it really shows. Below are some pictures of the proof that arrived yesterday.

For Hardcover Tier Backers, check your email and DriveThruRPG Accounts. Your rewards will have arrived in there, ready for you to input your address and pay for final shipping and printing. Thank you SO MUCH and I think you will enjoy how well these came out! Let me know if you have any issues.

Proofs of hardcover gamebook, softcover gamebook, and Gonzo Docs Vol2
Comparison with the PHB from DnD.
Interior with full-page art.

Delay on Softcover Gamebooks: Unfortunately, while I was updating something in the InDesign document for the second set of proofs for the softcover book, I ended up accidentally shifting the pages slightly which caused that set of proofs to be noticeably off. The error was recognizable in the proofs I received last week. I fixed the files immediately and sent the corrected files to DriveThru. The proofs for that are already on their way and that should be the final final set for those. Other than that error, they are looking really great! We should be able to do fulfillment on the softcover books and bundles in a couple of weeks.


Thanks so much!

Final files for Color Softcover books Waiting Printer Approval - Post-campaign update 20
about 2 years ago – Fri, Jan 21, 2022 at 12:47:01 PM

Hi everyone!

I hope you were able to download and checkout the digital rewards I sent last month. If you had any  issues at all accessing those files, please let me know.


I forgot to include the Axon Punk Cheat Sheets or Character Sheets in my previous reward distribution, so I sent those out a couple weeks ago. Those are very helpful resources to support you while you run the game! Looks for a message from DriveThruRPG about a download to "Axon Punk - Cheat Sheet Free Bundle".


I ended up finding some important errors in the gamebook that I missed during the proofing process. The issues connected to the Table of Contents, which is important to help everyone navigate the book. It took me a while to pull apart the InDesign issues but they are fully fixed and everything is nailed down. I sent the final files to DriveThruRPG just now. As soon as they finish approving the files, I will pass on the final step for the softcover copies of both the Axon Punk gamebook and the Gonzo Docs short stories.


It will be exciting to get you your physical copies of the books! Thank you again for the patience on this! Lights at ends of tunnels are achingly close!


Best!

Colin

Hi everyone!

It's been a wild ride but we are ready to start sending out rewards for fulfillment! I will send out the pdfs for digital rewards today, which are loaded up to DriveThruRPG.com and ready for download by you. Stay tuned for backer updates based on your backing level.

Thank you!

Final cover for the Axon Punk: Expanded Gamebook.

Final edits for the gamebook are in! - Post-campaign update 17
over 2 years ago – Sun, Oct 24, 2021 at 06:21:34 PM

Hello backers!

I appreciate all your patience with this over the arc of this project. We are getting down to the final bits and pieces of finishing the books for you. We finished editing the text of the core gamebook for Axon Punk: Expanded, which is very exciting. Our layout master artist, Charles Mayo, has that text in hand and is importing that into his layout document.


With that incorporation, and a round of double checks on the laid out version, we will be able to upload the pdf to DriveThruRPG and send everyone their digital fulfillments! Estimation arrival for that should be 2-3 weeks and then you will be able to download the pdfs yourself.


We have the final pdf of the Axon Punk story collection already in hand and we've ordered copies of page proofs for that. Once we upload the pdf for the gamebook to DriveThru, we'll order page proofs for that as well. Unfortunately, DriveThruRPG is really backed up on printing right now due to the pandemic but we will get the proofs turned over as quickly as we get them. I've also ordered the proofs sent to Charles through UPS  2nd Day by Air so we can get these books to you all as quickly as possible.


Thank you so much and happy Halloween!
