"The Star Gazer Deluxe" Emerges!
about 1 month ago – Tue, Mar 26, 2024 at 11:12:38 AM

Dear Backers,

Here’s the lowdown on what’s been happening behind the curtains of "La Notte Eterna" this month:

1. We’re thrilled to announce that backers who opted for English-language books should have already received the PDF of the unlocked stretch goal, "The Star Gazer Deluxe", via Backerkit. Additionally, our VIP backers, the "Chosen of the Gods", should have found this stellar content waiting for them in their exclusive Discord channel. We hope you’re as enchanted with it as we are!

2. Corebook Pagination Update: We’ve been navigating a sea of challenges with the pagination of the Corebook, and it’s been an epic journey filled with unexpected twists and turns. But fear not! We’re nearing our destination. The PDF should be in your hands by April (May at latest), before our next update. We'll probably maintain radio silence until then. The journey has been long and fraught with hard work, but as we flip through the nearly completed book, we can’t help but feel a profound sense of satisfaction with the result. Here's some sneak peeks:

Here's a reminder of the sequence we're following for the pagination of the various books and their PDF deliveries:

• The Corebook (ENG/ITA)
• Unlocked Stretch Goal: The Star Gazer Deluxe Edition (ITA)
• The Song of Nebvarasa (ENG/ITA)
• When Angels Cry (ENG/ITA)
• Rain of Fire (ENG/ITA)
• Unlocked Stretch Goal: The Haunted (ENG/ITA)
• Unlocked Stretch Goal: The Forbidden Tablet (ENG/ITA)
• Unlocked Stretch Goal: Big Trouble in Varshold (ENG/ITA)
• Unlocked Stretch Goal: The Sacred Beast (ENG/ITA)
• Unlocked Stretch Goal: College of Deep Arcana
• Unlocked Stretch Goal: The Forgotten God's Pyramid
• Unlocked Stretch Goal: The Dark Church of Tenebris

For Our Italian friends:

Messaggio per i backer italiani:

Questo mese abbiamo consegnato il pdf "The Star Gazer Deluxe" in inglese a tutti i backer VIP "Chosen of the Gods", incluso quelli italiani (tramite il canale a loro riservato su Discord) e, tramite backerkit, a tutti gli altri backer che hanno scelto di ricevere i manuali in lingua inglese.
Per quanto riguarda la consegna della versione italiana ai backer italiani fare riferimento all'ordine delle consegne elencato sopra.
Ci duole tantissimo chiedere ai nostri amici italiani di pazientare più a lungo per ricevere i pdf, ma vi assicuriamo che stiamo facendo di tutto per velocizzare le cose.
La buona notizia è che i backer italiani potranno godere di una distribuzione privilegiata quando saremo finalmente pronti per la distribuzione dei manuali cartacei. Ne parleremo quando sarà il momento, ma state pur tranquilli che sapremo compensarvi per la lunga attesa!

Fine messaggio per i backer italiani.

Wrapping Up:

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here for you and eager to assist.

That’s all for this month, dear friends. Back to the grindstone we go, working diligently on the books. See you in the next update!

The Moon smiles on you,

"Ever try navigating Neir with a map drawn by a drunk goblin? It's like trusting a mimic to guard your treasure. Entertaining, sure, but you'll likely end up lost or eaten—or both." - Giles the Bartender

Adventurers, fear not! Our Corebook and official rulebooks are your true compass in the enigmatic expanse of "La Notte Eterna."

We're aware of your eagerness to dive into these tomes, and yes, we're taking our sweet time to ensure every page is imbued with quality worthy of Neir's legacy. Crafting a tome is much like conjuring a spell—it takes patience, precision, and a touch of magic.

This Month's Trove of Updates:

We've summoned all the digital treasures we could muster and placed them into your Backerkit hoard. If they've eluded your grasp, or if the shadows have hidden them from your sight, fear not! Contact us, and we'll guide you to your loot.

Your Arsenal Awaits on Backerkit:

• Heroes & Creatures (ENG/ITA): An encyclopedia of allies and adversaries.
• Miniatures STLs: Print the nightmares that roam Neir in 3D—Voranox, Soul Hunter, and the dread Loy'ach. See how they measure up in the Heroes & Creatures tome.
• Printable Posters: Artwork that brings the darkness to light, chilling quotes included.
• Map of Neir (ENG/ITA): Chart your course through lands forgotten by the sun.
• Revamped Quickstart Guide (ENG/ITA)

The Corebook: Our cornerstone, halfway to completion and gaining momentum. Expect the PDF of the English version by March's end!

Can't Wait to Embark? A new issue of The Star Gazer awaits on Patreon: "Nightly Illusions in Rodern." Intrigue, power struggles, and a magic that threatens to reshape the Valleys of Xanesh. Will you be the shield against chaos, or the spark that ignites it?

Farewell for now. Many secrets lurk in the dark, but for now, we part ways. I'm venturing through a forest of bioluminescent mushrooms rumored to house a fierce Voranox, and worse. Best keep my wits about me.

Chosen of the Gods, Roll for Initiative ⚔️

The Moon smiles on you, night travelers,

As I delve into the depths of our latest creation, the "Heroes & Creatures" compendium for La Notte Eterna, I'm thrilled to share that it has exceeded our expectations. We are confident it will captivate you just as much.

The "Chosen of the Gods" backers have received their PDF copies on Discord. By now, they're likely engrossed in its pages, illuminated by the dim light of their oil lamps.

Once we gather their insights, we will distribute the PDF to all eligible backers via Backerkit. A reminder to those who haven't completed the Backerkit survey: it's crucial for receiving your 'Eternal Darkness' rewards. Please complete it to ensure you don't miss out.

If you're facing issues with the survey, or have any other concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us. We're here to help with any problems or questions you might have.

For "Chosen of the Gods" backers who haven't yet received their "Heroes & Creatures" PDF, please get in touch with us. We'll make sure you receive your copy promptly.

If you pledged for a tier that includes the "Heroes & Creatures" PDF but are not a "Chosen of the Gods", your patience is appreciated. We're planning to release the PDF around mid-January via Backerkit. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly.

For our Italian backers, we're excited to announce that the character sheet is now available in Italian. You can find it here: DOWNLOAD

Additional updates:

The development of the "Heroes & Creatures" Manual was a challenging task due to technical issues, which caused a delay in delivery. We've ensured the final product meets our high standards. This experience has prepared us to handle future books more efficiently. We're already working on their layouts and expect faster completion.

The Italian version of "Heroes & Creatures" is in progress. Our Italian backers can expect some more exciting surprises too. If you live in Italy and speak Italian, please join our Telegram group or follow us on La Notte Eterna's Italian Discord server.

We'll refrain from further updates for the moment.

As the year ends, we wish you joyful holidays and a Happy New Year, promising a bounty of meteors from Rengaria and beyond.

Rock'n'Role,

Jason R. Forbus
