October Update! PDF ready this month!
5 months ago – Mon, Oct 06, 2025 at 07:53:27 AM

Greetings, Wanderers!

We hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer and a great start to October!
Now, onto some exciting Mystified updates! 

Writing Progress
The book is fully written, and we’ve received the edits from our editor!
We’re currently implementing all the suggested revisions, which shouldn’t take much longer. We expect to finish by this week or next.
After that, we’ll complete final proofreads and then send you all the Mystified PDF!
We should have it ready and sent out by the end of the month (hopefully sooner!)
We sincerely apologize for the delays. Everything always takes longer than expected, but we want Mystified to be the best game it can be.

Design Progress

All book design work is complete! Only editing and proofreading remain.
The GM Screen illustration is also finished and Fleur did an incredible job! Check out the sneak peek below 👀
The final design task for Fleur is Peccadillo Daily, which she’ll tackle during the last proofreads.




By the end of October, we expect to: 
  • Send Mystified, the GM Screen, and the Peccadillo Daily to print
  • Fulfill the PDF version for all backers

Other Updates
To clarify any confusion about shipping:
USA orders will be fulfilled through our UK-based fulfillment partners, so everything should be covered and on track. Hopefully nothing else changes till we start fulfillment!

We can’t wait to share the final version of Mystified with you soon.
Thank you so much for your patience, support, and excitement!

August Update! Finish line is in sight!
7 months ago – Tue, Aug 19, 2025 at 07:29:29 AM

Greetings, Wanderers!

It’s been a while since our last update, but we’ve been hard at work putting the finishing touches on Mystified. 

Here’s where things stand:

Writing Progress
We finished the final chapter in mid-July and sent it out to beta readers. The entire book has been sent out and with our editor since the end of July, which means it’s officially out of our hands at the moment (minus some art—more on that below!).
The editor is scheduled to finish in early September. If revisions go smoothly, we should deliver the Mystified PDF by the end of September.

Design Progress
While the text is with the editor, Fleur has been busy finishing illustrations so we can send the book to print by early October (that is, as soon as edits and final proofreads are inputted).
  • Maps: All maps are complete! Last update we shared two; below is the map of the final city, Kravenspire. Each map has its own style to match their setting.
  • Final illustrations: Just one illustration remains, along with half of the GM Screen illustration.
  • Peccadillo Daily: Layout is left, the final element we need to complete before sending everything to print.
Once these are done, the book, GM Screen, and Peccadillo Daily will be ready to go which are the elements we still have left to print/manufacture.




Other Updates
  • Pet Supplement: Written, but layout will happen after the book goes to print. Since it’s a PDF, it isn’t a priority layout-wise—we’ll have time to complete it while printing of the book is underway.
  • Custom NPC & Pet Illustrations: These have all been sent out! Only one pet illustration remains—Fleur is finishing it this week. You should have received them all by now (except for one last adorable dog, saving the best for last!).

We’re so close to wrapping things up! Thank you, as always, for your patience, encouragement, and excitement. We can’t wait to share the final version of Mystified with you soon!

June Update - Writing and Art Progress!
9 months ago – Fri, Jun 06, 2025 at 07:49:16 AM

Greetings, Wanderers!  

First off—it was so lovely seeing some of you at UKGE last week! Thank you for your support and for stopping by our stand 🥰 
Now, onto some Mystified updates! 

Writing Progress
We’ve nearly wrapped up Chapter 5—our final chapter! Pembrook and Porto Verde (along with their mysteries and maps) are done. All that’s left is Kravenspire, which I’m hoping to finish in the next two weeks at most. 
We’ll be sending this last chapter to beta readers later this month. Once we incorporate their feedback, the book will head to proofreading in July.

Design Progress
While writing wraps up, Fleur is busy with layouts and adding spot illustrations where needed. She’s also completed the maps for Pembrook and Porto Verde and is now working on Kravenspire’s—our final large illustration!
We’re really starting to see the finish line—thank you so much for your continued patience!



Other Updates
We still need to complete the GM screen and bookplate. These will be tackled once the book is with the proofreaders, as our focus is fully on completing the book right now. 
During this time, Fleur will also be laying out the Peccadillo Daily and the Pet Supplement.

And a quick note—thank you to everyone who submitted an entry for the Peccadillo Daily in our last update! I made a small mistake with the form and didn’t include a field for email addresses. By the time I realised, there were already six submissions without contact info 😅 
If you submitted an entry and didn’t provide your email, please message us with it so we can send you a copy of the newspaper once it’s ready!

As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

April Update! Dice, coins, book update!
11 months ago – Wed, Apr 23, 2025 at 03:13:13 AM

Greetings, Wanderers!  

 
We’ve got some exciting progress to share with you all. 

First off, all final illustrations by  Dozerdraws are now in! You can see the last one below. We’ve also included some shots of the special edition dice by  Duplex Crucis and the finished lucky coins. The dice are currently on their way to us—once we receive the sample, we’ll share photos of that in the next update! 

We're now working on the GM screen and the bookplate—these are the final remaining add-ons to complete. 



Since our last update, Chapters 4 and 6 are complete! That leaves Chapter 5—the heart of the mysteries. Much of it is already written, but we weren’t satisfied with a couple of the mysteries, so we’ve been rewriting and testing new ones. Our goal is to finish writing Chapter 5 by the end of May and send it off to our beta readers. 
From there, we aim to have the PDF in the hands of our proofreaders and sensitivity reader in June, with a final version ready by July (fingers crossed!). We’ll keep you posted, but it’s important to us that Chapter 5 is the best it can be before moving forward.

To end this update off, below are a couple of new spreads we haven't shown before :)



As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.
