Welcome everyone,

after few month of hard work, we are happy to announce that all the Europen backers who authorized the shipment received the Core Books.  As for US backers,  the books are already on their way to reach the US. We shipped them a couple of weeks ago and we expect them to arrive safely in a week or two at Monte Cook Games warehouse.

We will confirm upon the delivery, and we will also give you the information on how to request your books.

Diamond Throne books and shipping!
almost 2 years ago – Sat, Mar 04, 2023 at 12:09:08 AM

Hello wonderful backers,

We are finally here with this long-awaited update about the books: They are ready and in our warehouse—huzzah!

We needed to complete some procedures with MCG, who were really busy with their crowdfunding campaign, so some delays have occurred, but we are on the cusp of delivering all of your rewards.

SHIPPING OUT OF EUROPE

Our next step is to ship pallets of products to the US MCG warehouse for all North American, South American, and Australian backers. We will follow this voyage together. 

After the pallets are delivered to MCG, MCG will take care of fulfilling rewards for backers in North America, South America, and Australia.

SHIPPING TO EUROPE

Next week we will organize shipping for European backers and all international backers not covered by MCG, completing all the formalities and documentation needed for international shipping.

PRODUCTS READY

In this first round of shipping you will find:

• Diamond Throne Corebooks and map
• Dice
• XP Deck

In the next—and final–round of shipping, you will find the GM Screen (ready and PDF delivered), the Players booklets (ready and PDF delivered), and the campaign book (almost ready to fulfill!). 

We know that this campaign has taken more time than everyone—including us—wanted, but you are going to love these products. We apologize for not communicating more frequently about the status of production, but we were hampered by a world-wide pandemic, not to mention a war at the European doors. All this and more, such as a giant increase in printing costs and international shipping, prevented us from reaching our goals for delivery times. We hope you'll understand.

Sometimes, even when you do your best, you cannot reach your planned goals. But we learned from our mistakes and we experienced how it is to work in troubled times, and we now have the competence to understand and solve these kinds of problems.

We want to thank all of you—those who had kind words and those who had not so kind words. We understand your reasons for being upset. Your support brought these products into existence, and we are very grateful to you. We hope that your enjoyment of these products eventually overshadows the sadness you felt at the delays.

We send a big thanks to all of the MCG staff who follow us and help us with the processes. We also give thanks to Christopher, Dean, Tom, Sarah, and all other artists and authors who worked with us during these years. Without them, we would have been lost.

With that said, we now return to work on the campaign book, to finish it quickly and wrap up this campaign. We have a lot of new ideas for creative endeavors and we hope you can give us the opportunity to continue to work on projects we all love.
