      I'll echo Adrian's sentiments, as I had just come to post something similar. At this point we are just over a week away from it being a year since the campaign ended and we were all charged, and we are way past the original estimated shipping date of September 2012. Delays happen with Kickstarter projects, but when the communications dry up, people start to get antsy or upset. I think most of us would appreciate a real estimate of when we can expect to see our rewards, as well as more frequent updates on the status of the project.

      We helped make it happen. Just keep us in the loop!

      I'll ask again, could we get an update please? It's not very reassuring when there are no updates for over a month! Even a short summary of where things are at would be appreciated.

      How's the book looking, guys? Haven't had any updates in a month. Can you give us a firm estimate on when we can expect to have the hardcopy in hand?

      No problem Scott. I tried very hard to find the fun bits hanging out of all the classic scenarios and link them up.

      The preview is amazing. It dovetails really nicely into masks and the other dreamlands stories. Thank you for putting the time and energy into this.

      Hey guys, click on the link to download 218 pages of THE SENSE OF THE SLEIGHT OF HAND MAN.

      https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001919/Ze%20Book.pdf

      It's grown, and changed as I've worked on it, leading to more writing, and a longer amount of time to make it, than initially thought. Thanks for your patience. You'll note some sections are under heavy work.

      If the need strikes you, please feel free to mark it up, but steer clear of the places obviously still under construction. The layout and art continues, but for the most part, the writing is down to congealing and editing what is already written, and for that I am thankful!

      Any corrections/changes, drop me a line at: dennis.detwiller@me.com with the subject SENSE CORRECTION.

      I have no end date marked (because I've learned they tend to sail past, no matter how diligent I am in my work), but soon, soon!

      Thanks for contributing!

      Dennis, just a suggestion but you should put mention of those updates as an official update to the project, that way everyone who contributed will be emailed the update rather than a chance coming here to read the comments.

      We're still here. The book is in the final paces. We'll have all the text by Gencon, and the art is underway. No need to lose SAN. Here's a nice chunk of text we just released on the special contributor site (which I think hits about 128 pages):

      http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7001919/SENSE%20OF%20THE%20SLEIGHT%20OF%20HAND%20MAN.pdf

      Sorry, I've been toiling in darkness on this tome. It's consuming most of my time. Between the art, writing and layout, it's a ton to do.

      More to follow.

      Any update at all? I know 20 people get the "behind the scenes" info, but after 2 months without even a single comment for the creators... the rest of us are losing SAN.

      Regarding Keeper's Kits: Dennis, that sounds like a job for the HPLHS.

      Creator Kris Leeke on April 30, 2012

      Glad to be a part of this. I always liked the Dreamlands as a setting and wondered why it hadn't been used more. I like that the horror is coming back. Yes the Dreamlands may be beautiful and have many wonderous sights, but people forget that even the best dream can turn into a nightmare quickly.

    37. Editlogo.small

      Creator Arc Dream Publishing on April 30, 2012

      That's a good idea John. It never occurred to me. Perhaps next time!

    38. Patch_large.small

      Creator John Stanfield on April 29, 2012

      I'm happy to help this happen! I would just like to suggest "Keeper's Kits" as rewards, maybe for future projects. the old Pagan Pub kits for The Realm of Shadows and Walker in the Wastes are some of my most coveted CoC items. Props and handouts have always been one of the things that has made this game stand out for me.

    39. Yellowsign%202.small

      Creator shoggothic on April 25, 2012

      Pledged my 4,000 cents! Now that Kickstarter has proven it can met and beat goals for CoC titles, anyway we could hope to see the DG scenario anthology, including the re-vamped 'Future Perfect' campaign, Dennis mentioned in his blog a couple years back on Kickstarter in the near 'future'?

      with near 200% funding, is it possible to consider Limited edition copies of the hardback - perhaps in colour or leather bound or otherwise atmospheric - perhaps from the Library of Dream? I'd be happy to pay more for the hardback if it was special.

      Awesome. I hope it happens. :)

    47. Ggs1.small

      Creator Jon Cohorn on April 2, 2012

      Let me join in the chorus of those hoping for the fabled Dead Tree Edition. I went ahead and put my pledge in because I have never been disappointed in anything I've received from Arc Dream or Pagan, but PDFs just don't do it for me the way that analog books do. Best of luck for the project - let's see those stretch goals get hit!

    48. Editlogo.small

      Creator Arc Dream Publishing on April 1, 2012

      Hey Barac,

      It's likely that stuff will be recorded (if it happens). I wish I could have recorded the original sessions! I'd give my right leg to have my original Dreamlands stuff, or DG stuff on audio.

    49. Fb_profile_picture.small

      Creator Barac Baker Wiley on April 1, 2012

      I really don't have the thousand dollars, much less $3,500 to actually go for the Skype game rewards, but if someone does take them, I'd love to be able to listen to recorded versions of those sessions. Heck, I'd even be willing to chip in a little extra for the privilege. Of course, the backer in question would have to be willing to go along with it.

    50. Editlogo.small

      Creator Arc Dream Publishing on April 1, 2012

      And, as we've done before if you overpaid, we would refund the difference if no book was forthcoming. (of course!)
