📬Progress Report: Tome of Hags Hits 50% Layout! + Posters, Postcards & More
7 months ago – Tue, Sep 02, 2025 at 05:35:31 PM

Beloved Acolytes,

Thank you so much for your patience. We’re thrilled to let you know that Tome of Hags is now 50% through layout! It’s a dense, art-heavy book: exactly the kind of problem we love to have. Here's a lil screen grab preview directly from the file!

📦 For our All-In backers and above, physical rewards have started to arrive!
Posters and postcards are officially here, and they look beautiful. Take a look below.

Bookmarks and stickers are next in line, and once everything is in hand, we’ll start shipping out the extra items to all applicable backers.

A heads-up for our All-In+ U.S. backers:
Due to import complexities, especially around tariffs, shipping will be done in multiple waves. Big Empty Blue #1 was printed in the PRC, while Big Empty Blue #2 will be printed locally and shipped within the U.S. to help avoid any surprises. We’ll keep it smooth and transparent every step of the way.

📘 Speaking of which—Big Empty Blue #2 (digital) is 99% ready!
Just a final polish remains before we hit “send.” While you wait, here’s a little sneak peek of the latest pages in action.

💻 And for the Foundry VTT lovers in the crowd:
We’re excited to share that A Shadow Over Odir, our signature D&D adventure, is now available as a VTT module through Hod Publishing. It’s a great way to explore our original setting in an interactive format. To take a closer look at the module, click on one of the pictures below.

Your continued support means the world to us. We’re almost there, and we can’t wait to share the final results with you soon!

Wind guide you,
💜 Quill & the Tome of Hags Team

🕯️ Tome of Hags: Into the Layoutverse!

Beloved acolytes,

You did it again—thank you so much for all your incredible feedback on the last batch of subclasses. Now… the moment has come. The Tome is officially heading into layout!

It’s no small task: hundreds of pages and enough stat blocks to keep even the most caffeine-fueled designer busy for a while. But with our wildly talented layout team on the job (and the full power of our writers and artists behind them), we’re expecting something truly magical to come to life.

To celebrate, we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the Table of Contents, just to show how much is packed inside:
