Hello everyone, I have been waiting for over 2 weeks now on test copy #2 of the hardcover. I believe the delay is that the print company is very busy now that we getting into the holiday season. The first test copy arrived in no more than week. I have been checking their website and my email inbox every day, and I also tried calling two days ago (no one answered, so I left a detailed message). Thank you for your continued patience. I will keep posting updates here until this is all wrapped up.

Hello everyone!
Test copy #2 of the Emporium is on the way. I should have with within just a few days. Hopefully the issue with warped pages will be resolved, and I can put in the huge order for the print run.
In the meantime, I made a set of digital creature tokens for the Blood Lament adventure that came along with the Emporium due to our stretch goal. You can get them in this Patreon post here.
See you in the next update,

The Test Copy of the Hardcover Has Arrived

This just came in yesterday. It was a surreal moment for sure. I've been looking it over, checking everything before I put in the big order. The print quality is superb, which is so great to see.
There are a few issues I'm trying to resolve, and hopefully I can find good, quick solutions. One thing is that there is a worldwide paper shortage at the moment (everything is still messed up from the pandemic), so my best option was an 80 lb. paper ... which makes the book weigh a whopping 5 lbs. That's double the weight of the biggest official 5e book. Wish me luck in navigating this new challenge.

Hello everyone and Happy Halloween ;)
The digital version of the Emporium is launched! I have toiled so long to finally be able to say this. Check your emails, you all have download links ready to convey this tome of wonders. Everyone is receiving a free copy of my new 5e adventure Blood Lament, which features content from the Emporium (per our stretch goal). Also, the Map Pack is available for everyone who pledged for it.
At the moment, only the digital version is ready, while the the test copy of the hardcover has been ordered. Once I receive it, I will be looking it over to make sure everything is in place and printed correctly. Assuming all is well, I will put in the order for the wagon full of books. I will continue to post updates here until this ship has completely sailed.
I am thrilled to have reached this point, and I cannot thank you enough for your patience. This took much longer than I anticipated, because (as I have learned the hard way) I made this book too big. Well, on the positive side, we now have a huge volume bursting with content.
May your tricks be guileful and your treats be delectable.

Alas, there has been a delay with the print company, but I should be getting the test copy of the hardcover ordered very soon.
