Latest Updates from Our Project:

All packages officially shipped!
7 months ago – Sat, May 11, 2024 at 01:33:13 AM

As of today, all packages have been shipped to Kickstarter backers who have completed their surveys! There are still seven people who haven't finished their surveys; I get daily emails from BackerKit, so as those remaining people complete their surveys, I will send out their packages. If you aren't sure if you're one of those people (one from the UK, the rest are in the US), please feel free to message me to check! If you know you've already paid for shipping, you're all set and your package is on its way to you!

For anyone who missed out on backing the game, or if you want to order more of any of the products that were in this Kickstarter, the "Pre-Order" page on BackerKit is up and I have plenty of stock remaining to send off to new homes! 

For those here in Europe, my dice maker, Myles, will also be selling both the dice and copies of The Apothecaire's Apprentice at his table at UK Games Expo in June, and my friend at Dice Oven will be selling the game at his tables at Dokomi and Connichi here in Germany this summer. 🥰 (I'll also have extra copies with me at MCM London this month if anyone wants to pick up a copy from me directly! Just shoot me a message!)

Thank you so much again for supporting this project! I'd love to see what you do with your games — tag me in social media posts, leave reviews on DriveThruRPG or itch.io, and above all, happy gaming!

Keep an eye on this space in the coming months — I have another project coming up very soon that I am so excited to share with you all. 😇

Another shipping update!
8 months ago – Wed, Apr 24, 2024 at 03:27:36 AM

Hello friends, I have another shipping update for you! At this point, the vast majority of packages have been shipped off to their new homes, and I've been getting tagged in social media posts about people getting their packages and playing the games already. I'm so excited for all of you to get this game (and my other solo games, if you ordered them as add-ons!) and play for yourselves. Please feel free to tag and post updates of your playthroughs online, I'd love to see them! As a reminder, my username is lalionnecosplay on all social media accounts. :)

I'm in the UK this week, and as such took the chance to reduce my carbon footprint on shipping and brought all UK orders (with completed surveys) with me to ship out locally. They'll be going out today with 48-hour shipping. (Royal Mail's website is confusing in its simplicity, though I feel like those who have used it are just nodding along at that statement.)

Because I've gotten this message a couple of times, I just wanted to put this reminder out here: if you backed at the Apprentice level, this means that you're only getting a physical copy of the game, not a digital copy. If you backed at the Apothecaire Extraordinaire level, you'll get both a physical and digital copy of the game! Everyone will receive the character sheets designed by Alderdoodle on BackerKit.

The only other update I have for you today is that there are still nine people who haven't filled out their BackerKit surveys. You need to do this even if you just got the digital version of the game, so please do this soon so you can get your rewards sooner than later! :) I just went through and resent the survey links to those who haven't filled them out yet.

Projects we love

Did you catch me on stream with D&D in a Church in Belgium? The people who ran that game are going to be launching their Kickstarter on April 30th, so tap that "Notify me" button if you're interested in their 5e add-on.

That's all from me today. Happy gaming!

First batch of game PDFs sent out!
9 months ago – Sat, Mar 16, 2024 at 01:35:31 AM

Great news, everyone! With the initial locking of orders on BackerKit, I've sent out the first batch of PDFs on DriveThruRPG to those who have submitted their surveys. There are still a few folks left who haven't filled out their surveys yet, so if you haven't received your email from DriveThruRPG (and it isn't in your spam folder!) be sure to check if your survey is submitted. I'll send out the second round of PDFs when I start shipping physical copies at the beginning of April.

All other digital rewards and stretch goals will be uploaded to BackerKit itself, and you will be receiving those around the end of the month! I'm working on the short story stretch goal now and I'm excited to share this story of my apprentice character with you all. 😊

Looking for another TTRPG Kickstarter project to back? My friend Neil's Fey Earth game is currently being crowdfunded!! It uses a d20 system and all the creatures and monsters in the game are taken from thoroughly-researched folktale monsters within the UK and Europe. 

"Fey Earth is a tabletop roleplaying game set in an alternate 19th century Europe. In this world all the magical creatures from folklore and fairytales are real, have always been real and have always lived openly alongside humanity. "

I had the pleasure of playing in a one-shot of the game on stream with Neil a little while back and it was genuinely so much fun.

Banner from Fey Earth, a world of folklore and fairytale. There are many magical beings standing off against each other surrounding the title of the game.

It's my birthday weekend, and I'm going to be spending it running TTRPGs. (Which is simply the best way to spend a birthday weekend, let's be real. 😉) Have a great one, and for those who received the PDF, enjoy the game!
