Heya Punks!
Dark Guide Jay has been kicking butt getting those color issues fixed and here's the current status of your rewards:
Mystic Punks Core Rulebook - Color corrections throughout the book have been completed and we're already reviewing the new proof of the book's interior... We're expecting an updated proof of the cover next week.
Mystic Punks: Weird Wanderings, Vol 1 - The book's interior is now approved, and we just received the book cover proof on Thursday. We should have that reviewed and (hopefully) approved for printing shortly!
Screen of the Dark Guide - New proof from the printer is expected to arrive for us to review and approve next week. This should be the last one!
Mystic Punks Patch - In production!
Mystic Punks Collected Edition (Solo Play) - Still ready for printing, no delay expected. Just coordinating the timing so everything arrives at the warehouse on schedule.
The Dark Heart of Xarnx Zine - Still ready for printing, no delay expected. Just coordinating the timing so everything arrives at the warehouse on schedule.
Official Mystic Punks Collectible Trading Card Pack - Still ready for printing, no delay expected. Just coordinating the timing so everything arrives at the warehouse on schedule.
We're just wrapping up these last few proofs and approvals and we should have everything in production very soon. Thanks!

January Update!

Hello Punks, welcome to the first update of 2026! We think the best thing to start off 2026 with is a complete list of every item that we're producing for this campaign and tell you where it is in the production process so you all know where we are with every single piece. So let's dive in:
Mystic Punks Core Rulebook - Dark Guide Jay is currently making revisions to correct color issues discovered in the more recent round of printer proofs. Some of the color blending techniques used during layout were not compatible with the color profile required by the printer, and that's not something we were able to discover and isolate until now. The files will be fixed and new PDFs submitted to the printer early next week.
Mystic Punks: Weird Wanderings, Vol 1 - The color blending issues (same as the Core Rulebook) have been corrected, new files were submitted to the printer, and we are reviewing the new proofs TODAY.
Screen of the Dark Guide - Revised files were submitted to the printer on Wednesday (Jan 28) to fix issues discovered in the last printer proof. A new (hopefully final!) printer proof is expected next week.
Mystic Punks Patch - Files Ready- Waiting for Core Rulebook files to be approved to coordinate arrival at warehouse for distribution.
Mystic Punks Collected Edition (Solo Play) - Files Ready- printing in US, waiting for Core Rulebook files to be approved to coordinate arrival at warehouse for distribution.
The Dark Heart of Xarnx Zine - Files Ready, printing in US, waiting for Core Rulebook files to be approved to coordinate arrival at warehouse for distribution
Official Mystic Punks Collectible Trading Card Pack - Files Ready - Waiting for Core Rulebook files to be approved to coordinate arrival at warehouse for distribution
So, our next steps are to send the revised Core Rulebook files to the printer next week and then reviewing the updated printer proofs for the Core Rulebook and the Screen of the Dark Guide. Once those items are all approved, we will be able to start all the presses rolling!

December - Final Update of 2025!

Hey Punks!
It's been a hell of a year with some ups, but way too many downs for a lot of folks. We are still alive and kickin', and we know you're all eager to hear about where we're at with this project, so let's not beat around the bush.
We are still waiting for the final screen proofs from the printer to sign off on and start the presses. There has been an unusual amount of back and forth about the files for this title that was adding to the delay, which have recently been resolved. We expect to see those final proofs in early January after the New Year.
We know this isn't what everyone wants to hear and we definitely wanted to deliver a different message before the end of the year. We want the best product and are working with the printers to get that to you. We are eager to get the rewards to you all, and you will know as soon as we do when printing starts as soon as the proofs are approved!
In other news, Dark Guide Jay will be hosting Mystic Punks games at PAGE 2026 and Dice and Diversions this January! Come and play with the real deal as he dooms yer Punk Party to the inevitable TPK.
Check below for details.
We hope all you punks have a great holiday season and that we can start off 2026 with a bang!

November Update!

Hey Punks!
Progress continues! We are have finished up the final edits on the last screenproof from the printer, and submitted the final (we hope!) files. We'll have one more chance to review them and catch any other errors as soon as they generate the new proofs and send them over to us, which should be any day now.
Once we give them final approval and pull the trigger, PRINTING WILL BEGIN!!!1!!!one!!
We expect that final approval in the next couple weeks, so mid-December is likely. We will send out another update to let you know as soon as we have pulled that trigger!
The holidays will impact the timeline somewhat, but we believe we should still be on track to have fulfillment started in the first quarter of 2026. We are SO close! In the meantime, check out the EF-Mart Black Friday Sale with 40% off all Mystic Punks Zines!

October Update!

Yo Punks!
We are in prepress with the books! What does this mean? After our printer ensures every haunted nook and cranny is ready, the books are to be printed! Communication is painfully slow right now with our overseas manufacturers so things are not moving as quickly as we'd like, but the files are ready to go from our end and we are waiting to hear back from them to find out where we are in their queue for manufacturing and what their manufacturing and freight schedule looks like. As soon as we do hear back from the printers we will hopefully be able to provide that manufacturing schedule to all of you patient people!
Production of US printed materials and other accessories is ready to go and when we have the manufacturing schedule for the books we have to print overseas, we'll know when to place those orders so that everything is arranged to arrive at the warehouse at the same time, which will ensure there aren't any fulfillment delays after everything arrives at the warehouse. Our best estimate at this point is that fulfillment will begin in early 2026.
You can expect additional updates as soon as we have more (reliable!) information to provide.
Thanks for your patience as we navigate the complexities of manufacturing this year.
