Greetings, wayfarers.

These past few weeks have been incredibly intense for us. Despite making swift progress on our books, it is with a heavy heart that we write this update.

Recently, we lost a dear friend and collaborator, Kevin. He wasn't just La Notte Eterna's US ambassador and an exceptional Game Master; he was, above all, our friend. On May 29th, he was taken from us by a cruel illness, leaving an irreplaceable void. Kevin was the kindest soul we knew. Despite life's hardships, he never stopped smiling and bravely facing every challenge.

His passing has left us heartbroken, and finding the words to continue this update is incredibly difficult. Yet, perhaps to soothe our sorrow, we've thrown ourselves even deeper into our work. For this, we must thank Kevin, whose positivity and enthusiasm were a guiding light through the darkness we tread. His life's notes resonated loudly and have joined the infinite melody of the Song of Nebvarasa.

On a brighter note:

In this explosive addition to La Notte Eterna 5e, you'll explore a full dungeon packed with new monsters, magical items, NPCs, and adventure hooks across realms like the Blood Domain, the Duchy of Öuin, and Frostdwell. Intrigue, war, and unexpected twists await. Only the most skilled adventurers will survive the chaos.Prepare for the ultimate test of your courage and cunning. The dragons are here. Are you ready?

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:

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.
