Wilderness Trek PDF and more encounters news!
almost 3 years ago – Sat, May 08, 2021 at 02:17:10 AM

Firstly apologies for the lateness of this update. It took a few days longer than expected to proof and sign off the encounters PDFs.

Wilderness Trek

We have now added Wilderness Trek - the random encounter generator PDF for our wilderness settings into The Wilderness title on DriveThruRG. 

This will appear automatically in your library, you do not need to enter any new codes.

We hope you enjoy running these encounters as much as we enjoyed writing them!

If you can't find the code to access the digital content it is in your Backerkit pledge manager survey!


Untold Encounters of the Random Kind

We have now sent the completed manuscript off to the printers for the pre-production sample.

We have sent a code for the PDF copy via BackerKit to all backers who have Untold Encounters of the Random Kind in their pledge and who have selected it as an add on. 

This code if you can't find it is in your BackerKit survey.

This is an exclusive first look, you get your digital copy before the book is  printed! 

Let us know in the comments what you think! Once we have the hard copy sample we will be giving it a final proof read and making final amends, then its off to press!

Thanks

More digital content added! And we have started printing!
almost 3 years ago – Thu, Apr 22, 2021 at 02:04:16 AM

The Ruin tokens have been added

Well things are moving at a pace!

We have now made the final tweaks to the maps in the Wilderness Set and the Little Book and sent them to our printers! We hope to get some pictures when they start to show you the books on the factory floor.


We have now turned our attention to Untold Encounters of the Random Kind. We are hoping to have the files ready for the pre-production sample at the start of next week.

Here is a very sneak preview of one of the 5E Adventures we are putting in - 

And we have added the ruins tokens to the digital package! Just check the Wilderness in your DriveThruRPG library to get them.

Some FAQ

Looking for your survey?

If you haven't seen you Backerkit survey you can recover it using this link https://wilderness.backerkit.com/


Looking for the digital content? 

If you can't find the link to your digital content it's in your Backerkit survey :)


When does the survey close and when do we charge your card?

The survey will be open until the books reach fulfilment centres.

We will charge your cards on July 1, and every month thereafter for latecomers :)

Completed surveys will be "locked" July 1 before we charge cards. You will still be able to update your address.


Need to change your address or survey answers?

You can go back into your survey at any point and change your survey answers until we lock and charge on July 1.

You will be able to change your address right up until the books reach the fulfilment centres. Right now you can do that in Backerkit. We will need to lock addresses as the books set sail so we can run reports for our fulfilment partners. After this we will update you on how to give us your new details!


If you have any questions, or there's anything which isn't clear please reach out, we're here to help!

Pre-Production Samples Video
almost 3 years ago – Tue, Apr 13, 2021 at 08:18:49 PM

We are very excited here at Loke HQ as we've just received a present from our printers!


The Pre-Production samples of The Wilderness Books of Battle Mats and The Little Book of Battle Mats - Wilderness Edition have arrived! We have put together this video so you can have a close look at the maps and see the final running order in the books.

We have a couple of tweaks (Matt spotted a repeating stone) and then we'll be going to press with these!

A brief update on where we are -

The printers have the artwork for the sticker packs and we hope to have the final pre-production sample at the end of next week.

The Immersive Screen has been approved and is printing as we speak.

Next up we are finalising the layout and writing the additional content for Untold Adventures of the Random kind which will be next to print.

Last to print will be our deck of encounter twists. We will finalise the artwork for these once the book is printing.

A preliminary timeline -

  • All products printed and leave printers - End July 2021
  • International shipping - 8 weeks - Aug & September
  • Customs & overland shipping - October
  • Arrive at Fulfilment Centres - End October
  • Booking in & processing - 2 weeks - Mid November
  • Fulfilment (2-3 weeks to clear the hubs) - End November/Start December
  • Backers receive pledges - December 2021.

You may notice we have built extra time into out timeline to allow for customs & overland shipping.  We are aware that currently there are delays in some key international ports and customs and we are allowing time for this as we have to assume the situation will not improve.

This is a general timeline as of course different countries will have different shipping times and different fulfilment times. We will be able to give you region specific updates once we clear the printers and we are "on the water".

As always, you can catch Matt working on new maps via our Twitch stream every Monday at 10pm BST (https://www.twitch.tv/lokebattlemats).

Take care

Tam & Matt
