We're closing in, y'all.
On Monday I put another wave of orders in the mail—finally hitting the shirts—and I hear that they're arriving now. Here's the All-In Hallowed Bundle as it empties from the bag:
I have many more orders to get through, but I am getting through them, so don't worry if yours doesn't land today. It cometh, hoo boy, it cometh.
In touch as always,

Reward tiers shipped: Hallowed Edition, The Catalog So Far (Hallowed)

Venerators,
Hallowed Edition
Yesterday we shipped the following reward tiers:
- Hallowed Edition
- The Catalog So Far (Hallowed)
Behold our sparkling child.
To be clear, yesterday's wave excludes orders with t-shirts, which are next in line. I punished the most generous backers, I know. This might be a "Hardest battles for the strongest soldiers" situation as I've waded steadily deeper into these logistics.
Self-Fulfillment
Speaking of, here's what that actually* looks like.
*Not pictured: my heroic, helpful wife, who fled the camera in her pajamas and left me to pose. I'm super grateful for the effort she contributed. This would all be even later without her.
Discord
Here's a fresh link to the Discord server, as always.
One of our members just started making and performing dungeon synth, which has been a fun journey to watch. Check out his music here!
Thank you, and onward to the next wave,
James

Venerators,
Quick additions to the digital files for Shrines:
- The book's essay, here titled Sacred Space in Fantasy Roleplaying Games, laid out as its own PDF in academic-journal style
- The book itself in single-page format to ease printing at home
The former I always planned to do, and the latter was by request.
As a reminder, this update explains how to download your digital files.
Thanks, and shipping more physical rewards soon,
James
Reward tier shipped: The Catalog So Far
2 months ago

Venerators!
We're in the groove now: arrivals confirming, workflow accelerating, packages leaving the house.
Behold the entirety of the Catalog So Far reward tier, loaded into my late grandfather's beer cooler and delivered en masse to the post office. Imagine standing behind me in line while I insist that the clerk scan every package, even though they're all prepaid, so I can leave with a wizard-scroll receipt that would make CVS talk shit. I assume that Balto will deliver some of these, given their destinations and this winter's average temp (I hope you're all staying warm).
Anyway, blessed be my wife for her help and all of you, as always, for your patience. Soon this will be done, and I will give myself permission to work on anything else.
Discord link again for anyone interested.
In touch again soon,
James
Fulfilling rewards while selling my house

Venerators,
Quick update because I loathe the idea of anyone worrying or wondering about their delivery:
- The first wave of rewards (Physical Edition only) are out and should have reached their backers by now
- I'm currently selling my house and juggling contractors, and this work stomped into my life like a kaiju
- I hope to get another wave of deliveries out within the next week
Thank you a thousand times for your patience, and in touch as always,
James
