APPROVED
The new chapters are approved! That was the last major hurdle before work could move forward. The project is moving forward again.
NEXT STEPS
So, what comes next? There are a few pieces of art we are in the process of updating and several creature entries that didn't have art at all. We have sent those out to the artists to get completed. We have multiple artists who will be working on those to speed up the process.
Layout is getting updated to make the text have a little more room to breath and integrate the two new chapters of Talismans and Bases. This will also mean the Threat Cards will eb updated to include the new art as well.
PDF DELIVERY
Once all those things are in completed we will update all the PDFs and send those out. If you already have the PDF from the original that will be available to download from DTRPG as an update. If you are new and have never downloaded a copy from DTRPG you will get a code to redeem the PDF.
PHYSICAL DELIVERY
We are working with our manufacturer to to plan for the physical side. However, there won't much to report there until the above is done.
The next update will be the last weekend of June.
Thanks for all your support and patience as we continue working on this project. While it has taken longer than we had hoped, we are confident you'll enjoy the final product once we deliver those books and items to your eager hands.

WAITING ON APPROVALS
This is always the slower part, as its out of control. We are waiting on Funcom to approve some items so we can complete the update to the text we want in place. Once we have that, we will get some minor art updates going as well. We will update all of you again in May on where things stand.
We know its not exciting or fun to have to wait to wait longer, but we promise we are making sure we are ready to get things rolling once we get the approvals in!
PDF QUESTIONS

CHECK YOUR EMAIL!
We have had several people asking about the existing PDF being available until the updated PDF is completed. We get it, why can't you at least have the one thats out now? We agree! We don't have a way to separate out from those that may already own it from the original Kickstarter or DTRPG purchases, so we sent to all backers the existing PDF.
WHAT IF I DIDNT GET THE EMAIL?
First, please, check your email, your spam. If you dont see it there please go online at DTRPG and check your Account tab and go to Notifications. Please do this BEFORE emailing or messaging. There is only one person who answers these and it really helps us get things fixed faster if you follow those steps first.
HOW TO REQUEST COPY IF ABOVE DIDNT WORK
Please email [email protected] Include your backer name, backer email, and DTRPG email if different.
DO YOUR SURVEY!
It may be that you didnt do the survey yet. If thats the case, that may also cause an issue. So make sure your survey is completed and up to date. If you want add ons, now is a good time to grab them.
Thanks for being backers and happy gaming.

WHERE THINGS ARE AT TODAY
Hello everyone. I'm doing the promised April update early. I want to bring you up to speed on where things are at. We have just finished the major writing work on Secret World: North America.
That matters for two reasons. The first, the same people work on that also work on this. The other reason it matters is that I always felt that the Talismans and Bases supplements were something I wanted in the core book. Those were stretch goals in the North America supplement. So, those will be added to the core book.
Now we are looking at some art updates we want to do. When we first launched we leaned heavily on the art provided from Funcom. I think its all pretty great art, but I also think we could get some of the art to better match the theme and or information in a given section. Once the art is wrapped up for North America we will put the artists on the Print Edition.
PRE ORDER STORE AND ADD ONS
The Pre Order store is open now. If you have friends that missed out, or you want to update and and add anything to your pledge, you should be able to do so now. The Store will remain open until we are ready to place the final orders for the various items.

THE SECRET WORLD PRINT PROGRESS
We have had a few people hitting the button for an update request. We get it, you're excited and want to know when it's coming. We are always working toward moving projects along, but our team is exceptionally small. Most of the day to day work is just me. I have a small team of amazing people I work with regularly, but there are no full time staff here.
Right now, we're finishing up the Secret World: North America. That's running a few weks behind where I wanted it to be. Thats not shocking when all it takes is one of the few team members having a a health event or other emergency.
After we finish the Secret World: North America we will then shift out work to completing the the revisions and updates on the revisd book. The Secret World print edition is planned for delivery late this year. So, as of now, we are on track for it.
I will have another update in April, this update was announced in November that it would come in January. In April I'll have a few cool things to share about the update to the book I think people will be excited to hear.
Thanks for being backers and we appreciate each and every one of you!
