Hi all,
We're pleased to announce that Nordic Monsters (Tales of the Valiant) cleared approvals and we've submitted a ton of print orders for you! Backers Jurcenko, Bailey, Schulte, Wilkerson, R. Jackson, Rossomando, Handfield, Allis, Bryan, Druon, M. Gonzalez, Rummel, Swope, Huggins, Dawkins, Secaur, Agee, Halttunen, Gould, Jo. Adams, Efird, Fleming, Oliveira, Voss, Acosta, & De Oliveira, your orders have been submitted and will be on their way soon!
In addition to getting those ToV orders submitted, we also went through our spreadsheet again and cross-checked orders that have some items coming by Print on Demand (with the already printed items shipping later once Nordic Monsters (5E) arrives from our printer in Hong Kong). The following backers have partial orders submitted and will be on their way to you soon, with the remaining books shipping later from our supply: Bordenick, Nicholson, Mei, Griis, Glorius, Walter, Green, Yost, Christophe, Alexander, Götz, Wernig, Staley, Ruffing, Stroin, Armetta, Parks, Schuermann, Jo. WIlson, Sahm, Saliaris, Foxx, Franczyk, Nilsson, Berry, Dixon, Conard, McNerney, Reynolds, Petersen, Ross, Spalding, Meslin, Reixachs, Morel, Shepard, and Dalmas!
It usually takes 7-10 days between when we submit print orders and they ship, so if you see your name expect to see your books coming around the end of the month! We will keep you updated on print progress with the 5.5E edition, but right now it looks like those should arrive to LG sometime in December.
Thanks again for helping make this project come to life, and by all means check out our new Ultimate Horror Kickstarter running right now!

Hi all,
The fourth and final version of Nordic Monsters is now up and available for download on your Backerkit account and in your DrivethruRPG downloads! We thank everyone for your patience as we got all four versions of this beautiful bestiary ready for you! We've sent the files over to our Foundry folks, and they'll start working on it ASAP! The VTT versions of Nordic Monsters (Roll20 for D&D 5E, Foundry for PF2, and Fantasy Grounds for PF1) are all in progress and we look forward to getting those out to you as they become available!
Of course, as we close one project we are delighted to invite you to another. We've already shouted out our Ultimate Horror Kickstarter for D&D 5.5E, PF1, and PF2, and if you haven't already checked it out we hope you do because it is going to be SCARY AWESOME, including tons of terrific horror material plus companion campaign compendiums for any kind of campaign you would ever want to run! Check it out and make ALL your campaigns LEGENDARY!

Hi all,
We're pleased to announce that Nordic Monsters (Tales of the Valiant) is now available for you in your Backerkit downloads and in your Backerkit account! Head to either place (or both) and grab this beautiful bestiary for your ToV game!
We're also delighted that our plan to split layout on the final two versions worked out so quickly, with both versions getting a rocket boost to the finish! I've received the full layout PF2 version and done two proofing passes on it, finishing the second this morning. That layout artist is on a brief family trip but will be back to work on it Sunday or Monday, so we should have the final version ready for you right after that (and get the completed version over to our Foundry folks)!
Nordic ToV proofing complete, PF2 coming soon! And ULTIMATE HORROR!

Hi all,
Just wanted to pass on the happy news that our layout guys are burning rocket fuel and I've already done the proofing pass on the completed Tales of the Valiant version of Nordic Monsters, so we should be able to send out the final version in the next few days! The PF2 version is also cruising along and should be ready for proofing in the coming days and should be ready to go final next week! We're excited to get these final versions ready for you (and to be able to send the PF2 version over to our Foundry folks to start working on that)!

Hi all,
I'm delighted to announce that Nordic Monsters 5.5E is ready for download! You can grab it on Backerkit or at DrivethruRPG, as we've set up download links at both places!
Now that the 5.5E version is complete, we'll be sending it over to our Roll20 folks to begin work on it!
We've also got a double dose of good news, as one of our other layout folks has hit on some extra free time, so we've split the work on the Pathfinder Second Edition and Tales of the Valiant versions, getting them both done simultaneously so that we can get them into your hands sooner!
We also submitted another big batch of print orders! Backers Myatt, Bettencourt, Quarles, Flank, Perry, C. Hill, Lauchnor, Adams, Crown, White, Carlson, Mertens, Suiter, Bryan, Wallace, Donohue, Turner, Townsend, Fetzner, K. Hill, Bowen, Ottenhoff, Wiger, Hubert, Long, O'Connor, Zelonis, Dames, Parker, Ollhoff, McQueen, Leong, & Carvalho, your copies Nordic Monsters PF1 are on the way, and we've also sent partial orders to backers Agostino, & Lechat!
Last but not least, we invite you again to sign up for next week's launch of ULTIMATE HORROR for D&D 5E, Pathfinder 1E, and Pathfinder 2E! Things get scary starting Tuesday and we hope you'll scream right along with us! Check out some of the stretch goals we've got planned!
