Jewel of the Indigo Isles Hardcover Update
I know everyone is eagerly awaiting their books, and here is an update. The ship is scheduled to arrive in port on July 28, 2023. From there, it usually takes a few days for the shipment to clear customs, load the books onto a truck, and then for the book to arrive in the warehouse. Figure approximately two weeks in total if things go well. Finally, the warehouse will begin assembling the shipments and sending all the books to everyone!
I know this book took much longer than anyone expected, but hopefully, the final result will be something you can proudly display on your shelf, and use, for years to come!
Final Call for Address Updates
Although we locked the addresses for the Kickstarter long ago, we have been allowing people to update their address information by sending me a direct message. We can continue to update your shipping information, but please get me your final address and shipping updates no later than July 28, 2023. You can simply send me your updated address info, and we'll update it immediately.
Jewel of the Indigo Isles Foundry Module
We recently finished part 2 of the adventure and added the player's guide as well. That leaves only the last part of the adventure (part 3), and then the Foundry VTT module for Pathfinder 2e will be complete! Look for the final update and module complete by next month.
Where to Find Your Files
We often get many questions about where to find your files from Kickstarter. All digital products are fulfilled via BackerKit, and you'll need to log into your BackerKit account to find and retrieve these files, which you can do here. You can also access your account here if you have issues with the link above: https://www.backerkit.com/are_you_a_backer.
World of Battlezoo: Indigo Isles Kickstarter Launches Tomorrow!
With the release of the Jewel of the Indigo Isles book for both Pathfinder and 5E, many people have been asking for more information about the world of Alacar and Indigo Isles. Well, over the last few months, we have been working secretly on this book, and it's nearly complete! That's right, the World of Battlezoo: Indigo Isles will be released right after the Kickstarter is completed! We are trying to move to a new model where instead of doing very large Kickstarters with multiple items released, we will do smaller Kickstarters and then release the book right after the Kickstarter ends. This upcoming Kickstarter only has the book itself, a cloth map of the Indigo Isles, and some dice cases -- all ready to go!
Plus,all backers can submit their island ideas to be added to the Indigo Isles! Mark Seifter and I will select winners, and Mark will write your island and add it directly to the book! (and yes, the book will still come out on time!)
Near immediate PDF and Foundry VTT fulfillment once the Kickstarter ends and hardcover fulfillment just a few months after (expected September 2023 for the PDF and Foundry modules, early Q1 2024 for the hardcover books).

Jewel of the Indigo Isles Hardcover Book!

Good news! The printing plant is ahead of schedule and finished the binding of all the Jewel of the Indigo Isles hardcover books. They sent me some pictures of the final book and shipped me several copies for approval. Once approved, they will be shipped to the warehouse, and we can begin distribution.
Although the Pathfinder and 5E versions look nearly the same, trust me, they are not! The spine is around the same size as the Pathfinder Core Rule Book, but it should be much easier to handle since the paper is thicker and will more easily lie flat. In addition, the book is sown and bound to ensure it stays together!
That is one thick book!
As always, I will continue to provide updates as we finish the Kickstarter once and for all
Find me at Origins and GenCon!
I will be attending Origins next week and GenCon in August. This is actually my first Origins, and if you find the Knights of Last Call, you'll probably find me somewhere nearby. Otherwise, feel free to come by and say hi.

We continue the march to the end of this Kickstarter as we have received printer proofs for the Jewel of the Indigo Isles hardcover book. We received BOTH the 5E and Pathfinder versions of the book, and once those are approved, all that is left is waiting for the books to arrive in the warehouse.
I appreciate everyone's patience during this long development cycle, but the end is in sight! And here is a little video showing you the book!
