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!

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.

Hey Punks!
First off, we sincerely apologize for the lack of updates over the past two months. We strive to be as professional as possible, which includes keeping our backers consistently informed and transparent about production updates. With that said, we are back on track and will provide monthly (or more frequent) updates as soon as new information becomes available.
Where is Production at Now?
From our June update, we informed y'all that printing would be underway soon. Between then and now we have had to pivot from the printer we planned to use due to unexpected production pricing issues. We have since settled on a printer, finalized quotes, and are now locked in with the printer and next in line for production!
We are excited about this process and want to share it with y'all. We hope to have physical proofs soon to share in the next updates as soon as they land in our eager goblin claws!
Punks at Dragon Con!
Check out Steve Alberston at Dragon Con, where he's grinding Punks into Industrial-Goth monstrosities through his adventure, Thrill Kill Ministry, available in Mystic Punks: Weird Wandering Vol. 1!
How many survived, and how many became living credenzas for the demented cyber-nightmares that are the Neubau?
Hey, Tiger Wizard's there, too. Nice!
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding regarding this process. We are continuously humbled by all the awesome people we meet IRL and cyberland that tell us how much they love playing Mystic Punks!
We'll see ya soon!
