The End Is in Sight

Adventure Time fans,
It’s near the end! Of the year? Yes. Of the world? Well, we hope not (though we do love that song). But what we’re really talking about is finalizing Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game so we can get files to the factory and get you your books, dice, and other rewards as soon as humanly possible.
Have we told you lately how much we appreciate your patience? We sincerely do and we take your faith in us delivering an amazing final product super seriously.
Let’s do a rundown of where we’re at.
First of all, all non-book rewards are totally done and approved by the licensor!
For the three books (Intro Book, Core Book, Adventure Book): We finished several finals playtests of the game by various groups of players (internal and external). The overall take was that the game is awesome! (Thank goodness!) We did, however, get some minor notes and we are doing some fine-tuning on everything.
Jake's Shmowzow Guide to Roleplaying Games has gone through several rounds of tweaks and we expect it to be finalized next week. The big news is we’ve added 8 more pages (it’s now 72 pages) to flesh out some of the introductory information about how to play a 5E game.
The Core Book is up next. We are still compiling some notes, but we expect to have that wrapped by the end of January.
Finally, the Adventure Book is waiting on a final licensor approval and some last notes from our playtesters. We expect to be finished with that (and the entire project) in February. At that point, we can give you a better timeline of when we think manufacturing will finish and fulfillment will begin. Not far off now!
Since Jake’s Guide is on our minds, we thought we’d share some more images from the book.
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Game on Kickstarter Now!
We hesitate to promote a different Kickstarter while we work to deliver this one, but we've had a surprisingly large number of Adventure Time backers join our Kickstarter for Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Game. Our amazing artist Robb Mommaerts, who did all the original art for the Adventure Time RPG, also did the art for this game. So if any of the rest of you are interested, that campaign is running until December 23… just CLICK HERE!
Thanks for your support,

Closing in… Final Stretch!

Adventure Time fans,
We hope everyone is having a great November! Since we last wrote to you, all the Random Encounter cards have been approved by the licensor and most of the Adventure Book! There are a few Adventure Book chapters and some packaging for the cards that we are waiting for the licensor to approve, then we are done.
We are going to be doing some final playtesting later this month and into December to capitalize on the time waiting for approvals. We are close! We hate delays, but they have been in service of making a better product and, thankfully, we have a licensor that cares as much about the final product as we do. Once we deliver everything to the factory, we’ll be able to get you a better ETA. Thank you so much for your patience.
While we have you here, we have some images to share. Check out some Adventure Book pages, the cover of the Character Sheet Pack (the cover is a late addition), and some Adventure Twist cards!
Thanks for your support,

Random Encounters and a Giant Lava Monster

Adventure Time fans,
We keep chugging along! We have now submitted all Adventure Book pages for approval to the licensor except for Prismo’s Time Room Adventure (which should be finished next week). The Random Encounter cards are also finished and have been submitted. While we wait for comments and approvals, we are busy proofreading and making tweaks on all the books. And we’ll do some final playtesting next month to make sure everything is working the way it should.
Thanks, as always, for being patient! We are so thrilled at how everything is looking. The upside of the delays has been that we have had the time to add even more love to every component… more art, more icons, cooler layouts. It will be worth it!
Before we go: We have some Adventure Book pages and Random Encounter cards… including the first look at the back of the cards!

Adventure Book Pages!

Adventure Time fans,
We hope everyone is having a great start to September! On the Adventure Time front, things are progressing, albeit slowly.
As we mentioned last time, the Core Book and Jake’s Schmowzow Guide to Roleplaying Games are totally approved by the licensor. The Adventure Book, however, is going a bit slowly. Over half the book is with the licensor and since there’s so much writing and original art, it’s a bit of a painstaking process to get everything approved. The rest of the book is in graphic design and should be ready for licensor by early October.
We are using some of the extra time to create more art and other bonuses that are our way to say “thank you” for being so patient and supportive. We keep saying it, but we’ll say it again: Our number one goal is to produce something amazing for the fans who supported this campaign. Plus, we’re huge Adventure Time fans too, as you know, so we want something we would LOVE as fans. We’re getting closer.
In the meantime, here are some Adventure Book pages to share!
Thanks for your support,

Adventure Time fans,
Our apologies for the slower-than-usual update. We’ve had our heads down focused on getting closer to the finish line.
To go over where we are:
–Core Book: Totally approved by licensor. We’re doing some final proofing on our side.
–Jake's Shmowzow Guide to Roleplaying Games: Totally approved by licensor. We’re doing some final proofing on our side.
–Adventure Book: All writing and copyediting is finished. The various sections are with the licensor or in graphic design. Approvals for this book are the slowest due to the story elements, but we’re pushing forward.
–Dice: Designs have long since been done and we’ve shared samples. But we are adding some eye-catching packaging as a bonus for the long delay.
–Cards: Adventure Twist Cards are fully approved by licensor. Sweet Dosh Cards are being finalized next week. Random Encounter Cards will be finalized in the next two weeks.
–Additional materials like Postcards, Recipes, etc.: These are mostly being finalized next week.
We know it’s been a long haul, but we are so proud of the work being done by the team. We want to make this project as good as possible! Thanks for your support and patience, sincerely.
Before we go, we’d like to share a few pages from the Core Book and Jake’s Guide.
Thanks for backing,
The Cryptozoic Team
