Next Steps
Next week we'll share the images of the first copies of Return to Dark Tower Fantasy Roleplaying, the Player Tower Accessory Set, and the Adversary Screen.
In our August Update we'll be locking down Backerkit orders and charging cards.
Locking orders means that no changes can be made to the items ordered BUT you will still be able to change your shipping address. Notices will go out stating that you'll have 48 hours to update.
Charging credit cards means that we will charge for shipping cost (if any) as well as any unpaid items added on in the Backerkit system. This will be done after locking the orders.
Thank you for your patience and support during this campaign.

We're so happy to be able to give you so much good news in one update!
Return to Dark Tower Fantasy Roleplaying PDF
Over the last few weeks our team has gone through the book file to find any necessary edits to the core book so that it could be delivered to all of those who backed it! Darkest Tower demake zine is also complete and will be distributed digitally to all backers who backed during the first 48hours of this campaign.
TODAY BACKERS WILL RECEIVE:

Form-fillable Hero character sheet, Tally sheet, and Adversary sheet
Darkest Tower demake zine PDF (if you are eligible)

NOTE: PDF versions are optimized for reading on the screen, some colors may appear different than those in the final printed product.
Return to Dark Tower Production Samples
Just a few days ago we received the first production samples for Return to Dark Tower Fantasy Roleplaying, the Player Tower Accessory Set, and the Adversary Screen. Check them out below!
HARDCOVER RPG BOOK SAMPLE IMAGES
PLAYER TOWER ACCESSORY SET SAMPLE IMAGES
The Tower stands 14 inches fully assembled, but comes in a convenient telescoping 5x7 inch box which houses all the components (dice, tokens, card deck, character sheet pad, and insert for the dice roller). 👀Fun fact: it's too big for our lightbox hence the other backdrop :)
ADVERSARY GM SCREEN SAMPLE IMAGES
The Adversary GM Screen opens up to a full 24 inches in width, but with the detailed die-cut tower it's easy to see your friends and the map at a glance. 👀It's too wide for our lightbox as well.
We are currently working with our factory to make some minor adjustments and get these approved for full production this week.
Status
Things are moving along well but we do expect our delivery date to be later than May 2023. Production is just getting started and takes a few weeks to complete, then products need to ship from overseas to our warehouse. We can not give you an exact delivery date but we will continue to keep you informed to get you more solid information as we go into May.
