Latest Updates from Our Project:
Anansi's Gifts of Magic Preview

Quick updates. First on a personal note, thank you to everyone for your patience - and a special thank you to those who rwached out and sent well wishes. I really appreciate it. My mom's surgery was a little tougher than expected. She ended up in the ICU for a few days after recovery, but is on the mend now and going to a regular room today.
Prior to her needing emergency surgery, I thought we'd have Vox Storia populated today with some voice overs. My schedule got a little upended. However, we were able to work on Gift's of Magic, and I'm happy to share the following video preview:
Yeah, so we put a little extra into this PDF, and you'll have over 70 magic Items when I put it up on DriveThru next week. There's a little extra art as well.
DRAFT preview of the cover for "Anansi's Tales of Adventure."
This has a few extra stat blocks, and we made sure that any NPCs or magic items referenced are in here, so you don't have to bounce between books.
I may be incommunicado for a few days. I'm behind on work and everything. But I wanted to update you with something so you could see that there's progress and the project is moving forward every day (or close to every day). If I'm behind on replying to any emails, please ping me again. Thank you again for all of your support.

Hey, folks. I've been slow to repond because of work travel, and now my mom is in the hospital. She has surgery today, so *fingers crossed* 🙏
My mom is always so positive.
Still working on your rewards.
"Gifts of Magic" PDF should drop this week. Guving you some bonus magic items and new spells, because youve all been wonderful and patient. I really appreciate everyone.

Anansi's Tapestry of Lives UPDATED!
over 1 year ago
– Tue, Oct 17, 2023 at 09:25:51 AM
If you backed the project and had the PDF of Anansi's Tapestry of Lives as one of your rewards, you should have just gotten a message form DriveThruRPG that the title was updated. That's right, not only is all the content in there, we've made a bunch of layout updates. This does bring our page count down significantly, but that means we'll actually be able to afford book printing at these crazy higher prices (oof!).
If you didn't get your link, please email [email protected] and be sure to include you Kickstarter or Backerkit email address, please!
What's next?
Well, we're looking to update the book with more art, but most importantly, we're going to really get going on proofreading and fixing those typos and grammatical errors!
Note: This is a short update, because I've been doing travel/events for work for literally the past 3 weeks straight and I'm late to get on the road to drive to NY *groan* BUT I wanted to get this updated copy out to you.
Thank you so much for your support. It keeps me going!!! Stay tuned for more updates.
Best,
Jamie

Exciting Progress & Key Milestones: Anansi's Journey Continues!
over 1 year ago

some of our newest voice actors, who are bringing these NPCs to life!
Hello, to our Remarkable Backers!
September has been a whirlwind, but with each day we're coming closer to bringing Anansi's vibrant tapestry to life. Here's what we've been up to:
Anansi's Journal of Common Places 📖 The layout phase for "Anansi's Journal of Common Places" has come to a triumphant end! We've submitted it to DriveThruRPG, and if everything sails smoothly on their end, all backers can anticipate a link to this early release version on Tuesday, October 03. A small note, however: as excited as we are about Ed Greenwood's generous contribution, the companion art for his "The Dark Den Club" is still in the works. We promise to update the online version as soon as it's in our hands.
Big Bad Con Interlude 🎲 I'll be attending Big Bad Con from September 28 - October 1. While it's an exciting event, it does mean I might not be able to send out the DriveThruRPG link sooner than stated. Your understanding is appreciated.
Voice Overs 🎙️ We've made significant strides since our last voice actor update. From 35 roles outstanding, we're now down to just 6! Check our Twitter and Instagram to catch up on our latest casting news. We're aiming to wrap up casting by Sunday, October 1. I'm hoping another incredibly talented voice from "The Dragon Prince" will be joining our cast! *crosses fingers*
Anansi's Tapestry of Lives 🕸️ Final edits for "Anansi's Tapestry of Lives" are underway. As reiterated, the content is ready, but it deserves a thorough review to iron out those lingering typos (I think they reproduce like tribbles if they're left in too long). I'm targeting to conclude this round by October 08, which should enable us to refresh the PDF on DriveThruRPG and share an updated version with you. Though we're hoping for an October 9 release, please bear with us if it shifts to October 14 due to unforeseen obligations.
Printing Press Woes 🖨️ Our quest for an affordable yet quality printer continues. While the sticker shock of some updated quotes (increases of 30% - 100%!) was daunting, we might have stumbled upon a promising lead in China. I'm currently ensuring they align with our quality expectations before we finalize anything.
As always, your patience and encouragement drive us forward. We remain committed to delivering a product that echoes our shared passion for storytelling and immersive gameplay.
Gratefully,
Jamie
and the Anansi's Team
P.S. We're always here, so feel free to reach out with any questions or thoughts!
Quick Update: Progress & Adjustments Ahead
over 1 year ago
– Wed, Sep 13, 2023 at 08:33:57 AM
Dear Amazing, Wonderful Backer,
We are making progress and hitting significant milestones and I'm excited to bring you the latest updates on Anansi's grand journey!
Anansi's Tapestry of Lives
Great news! All content for "Anansi's Tapestry of Lives" has been submitted! (phew, finally!) Our team is currently in the thick of the layout process, meticulously shaping each page to bring you a breathtaking finished product.
Anansi's Journal of Common Places
We are also in the final stages of editing all 70 locations in "Anansi's Journal of Common Places". Your patience during this period is highly appreciated as we're working diligently to ensure the finest details are perfect.
Budget and Production Updates
Unfortunately, we've encountered a small bump in our journey. The quotes for printing that we had received prior to the Kickstarter have seen a significant increase thanks in part to global inflation. While we remain committed to delivering the rich content as promised, we might need to make some adjustments to things like layout and font to bring the page count down to something more manageable (i.e. affordable). Even a savings of $1 - $2 per book is significant and will help us. Please expect a revised timeline in the next couple of days to reflect these necessary adjustments. If you have contacts in the publishing world that can help us get a Really good deal on printing (or want to publish Anansi's after this project), please reach out!
Looking Ahead
Despite these changes, we are still on track to share an updated PDF with you sometime next week, just not likely on September 18 as planned. Please note that there might be further layout changes down the line to accommodate budgetary constraints. We also will not have finished our final editing review for grammar, spelling.
Thank You!
We are immensely grateful for your continued support and understanding. Your enthusiasm and patience fuel our dedication to this project, and we are committed to keeping you informed every step of the way.
Best,
Jamie
and the Anansi's Team
PS: Stay tuned for more detailed updates coming your way soon!
