#Timeline
This project is creatively 100% complete! The full book entirely laid out graphically, the new bonus story is finished, trading cards designed, and the entire book is approval by our licensor. All we need are your orders to decide how many copies to print!
We are printing the book overseas, so that does take a little longer than printing domestically. We plan to ship all rewards and add-ons to backers in May 2026.
As the project is already assembled, we have little risk in its completion. There is always though a chance of a delay when printing books overseas (ocean weather, shipping container shortages, port strikes, import delays). We aim to keep backers updated if any of these shipping problems occur.
