Any news for backers?
Creator Ben Turner on May 1
Happy first anniversary, SotSoHM kickstarter ! Your now my oldest, unfulfilled project ! Thanks for the recent update, and I look forward to more news as we head into our second year :)
Creator Jon Cohorn on April 22
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!
Creator Adrian Maddocks on April 21
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.
Creator Adrian Maddocks on April 10
Could we get an update please?
Creator Nathan Lewis on January 30
Just wondering how this is progressing. Haven't heard anything in a while and I look forward to the next update.
Creator Andrew Byers on January 19
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?
Creator Andrew Byers on November 19
Any updates on when the book will be ready?
Creator Arc Dream Publishing on October 9, 2012
No problem Scott. I tried very hard to find the fun bits hanging out of all the classic scenarios and link them up.
-D
Creator Scott Bennett on October 8, 2012
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.
Creator Arc Dream Publishing on October 7, 2012
Also, do you guys not see the Updates that are posted? Are they not showing up to everyone?
-D
Creator Arc Dream Publishing on October 7, 2012
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!

Any updates? :)
Creator Richard Iorio II on September 24, 2012
What Frank said. :)
Creator Frank Troise on September 18, 2012
Just wondering when the print copy will be shipped out. Haven't heard anything lately. :)
Creator John Stanfield on August 28, 2012
What Ben said...
Creator Ben W Bell on August 25, 2012
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.
Creator Tyler Hudak on August 14, 2012
Thanks for the updates! Can't wait to see the finished product!
Creator robert kim on August 9, 2012
Thanks
Creator John Stanfield on August 3, 2012
Ahh, Thanks for the update and that preview!
Creator Arc Dream Publishing on August 2, 2012

Creator Arc Dream Publishing on August 2, 2012
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.
-Dennis
Creator robert kim on August 2, 2012
So far only silence. I've asked for updates but never heard back. Are they still around?
Creator John Stanfield on August 1, 2012
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.
Creator Ben McFarland on July 19, 2012
Any update?
Creator anderland on July 7, 2012

Another supporter of the Esteren project gave me the link and I contacted the support myself.
Please excuse my mistake.

Raw text PDF would be a real treat!
Creator Brett Easterbrook on April 30, 2012
Just about to reply to the survey and I see that you hvae "NO PO Boxs" I'm in Australia.. I'm assuming a PO Box will be ok? I've never had any trouble before..
Creator Arc Dream Publishing on April 30, 2012
"Dennis, that sounds like a job for the HPLHS." Totally blanked on it. Should have done it. I think I'll see those guys at Gencon. Good idea John!
-D
Creator John Scott Tynes on April 30, 2012
First off, congratulations. I'm proud to be a backer for this book.
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.
Creator Arc Dream Publishing on April 30, 2012
That's a good idea John. It never occurred to me. Perhaps next time!
-D
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.
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'?
Creator Gary McBride on April 19, 2012
I am so glad this kickstarter succeeded. I cannot wait for my book.

Creator Steve Ellis on April 17, 2012
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.
Creator Jon Cohorn on April 12, 2012
Oh man, this is awesome! I get a weird tingly feeling watching these CoC Kickstarters do so well!
Creator Victor Kuo on April 12, 2012
whoops i guess i gotta upgrade now :)
Creator Brett Easterbrook on April 11, 2012
and with the dead tree edition I'm in
Creator Ed Possing on April 9, 2012
Over $5,000 now. So close!
Creator Barac Baker Wiley on April 2, 2012
Awesome. I hope it happens. :)
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!
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.
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.
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!)
