Print Copies (KS Printing & DTRPG POD)
over 2 years ago – Wed, Jun 22, 2022 at 09:47:33 PM

Print-On-Demand

Print-On-Demand is now available from DriveThruRPG!!


Some key differences between the POD and the KS Print Copies are:

DTRPG-POD is perfect bound - KS-Print is Staple Bound

  • The Staple Bound KS-Print will lay flat, with better readability on the inside margin.

DTRPG-POD is gloss cover - KS-Print is Matte Cover

  • Both covers look FANTASTIC!

DTRPG-POD is 70lb uncoated inside paper - KS-Print is 100lb Matte inside paper

  • Both booklets have about the same overall thickness.
  • Inside pages of the KS-Print feels much more substantial.
  • Uncoated DTRPG-POD inside pages have more subdued colors.

Pictures of the DTRPG-POD proofs are below!


KS Printing & Fulfillment

The shipment from the printers is due to arrive THIS WEEK. There are a lot of packages to assemble and ship (THANK YOU!). With the extra labor required for fulfillment and the upcoming 4th of July holiday, I expect to begin shipping KS Physical rewards in the first half of July.

Proofs

Proofs have been received from the printers, and look FANTASTIC!

A few revisions were made after receiving the proofs, and now the printer has been given approval to begin production.

If all goes well, physical rulebooks and add-ons should be shipping by the first two weeks of July.


If you haven't completed your survey yet, now is your last chance!'


In the meantime, I'd love to hear about your experience with GROK?! either on twitter @lestortoise or in the NSR Discord.

MOAR PDF?!

More Things

The DriveThruRPG files have been updated accordingly:

  • Rulebook revised to correct the Incapacitation section on the Quick-Start Guide
  • Rulebook revised to remove the "d20" in the Attributes section of the Character Sheet
  • PDFs uploaded for the Isometric Dot-Grid Notecards, with 6 art variations (Color & BW)
  • PDF uploaded for the Character Creation Guide & Character Sheet printout
  • PDF uploaded for the Quick-Start Guide printout

What's Next?!

Files will be going to the printers this week, with test prints to follow. After that = FULFILLMENT?!

Meanwhile, the fillable character sheet should be complete in the next few days, and a "GROK?! Compatible" logo is also in the works.


And then..

If you haven't already, follow me  @lestortoise for early sneak peeks, or join us in Discord to talk GROK?!

Just a few things..

The digital PDF of GROK?! is now up on DriveThruRPG as well as Itch.io.

I’m anticipating having the handouts finalized in the next couple weeks, and I will send out those PDFs as soon as they’re ready.

In the meantime, Yochai Gal of Cairn fame was kind enough to give us a home within the NSR Discord Server, so feel free to stop in and talk all things GROK?!

Digital Copies?!
over 2 years ago – Mon, May 02, 2022 at 02:02:19 AM

It's Done

The rulebook is complete! Color and B&W digital copies will be distributed through backerkit today!

Next steps are to finish up the add-ons before getting everything print proofed. I'm a few weeks behind schedule, so fulfillment of the physical rulebooks and add-ons may get pushed into early June, but I'll try my best to make it all happen in May.


In the meantime...

I'd love to hear your thoughts about the game, and the crazy game-play stories that ensue, so PLEASE tell me what you think on twitter @lestortoise or on facebook  @lestortoisegames
