Please be sure to check your emails throughout today/tomorrow for links that will lead to the downloadable PDF version of L&B 1st Edition! Please note that to be thorough, I've tried to make sure every applicable backer is going to get access depending on which avenue they backed or pre-ordered. Some backers/pre-order customers might receive more than one email for this reason, but they all lead to the same download. If you've backed or pre-ordered a version of L&B 2nd Edition and by tomorrow still have not received an email with access to check out the digital 1st Edition PDF, please message me personally and I'll have it sorted out!
Updated Fulfillment Roadmap!

I've got a pretty standard update for you folks today! As mentioned previously, the composition for all components of the book are finished and we're currently in the proofing process, and additional rewards are all either fully ordered or being finalized this week. The custom art portraits to be featured inside the book are all fully complete (hence marked as "Finished!" up above), while the other custom portraits will be finished and verified with the backers soon.
As mentioned before, some logistical issues including a paper shortage here in the US have slowed some things down more than I would have expected given the turnaround time I managed with 1st Edition. This is ironically compounded a bit due to the necessity to commit to a reprint of copies of 1st Edition as well. I truly don't think the fulfillment delay will be any longer than a month or two. I won't chisel any new dates in stone due to the variability of the situation, but everything being delivered this spring is still the goal. I'm very, very sorry that March didn't work out, and I'll be sure to keep the progress updates coming so folks won't feel left in the dark
Elden Ring is nearly upon us, and critical reception indicates this is From's best work

This update doesn't have anything to do with L&B or 2nd Edition specifically, but if any folks missed the lifting of the review embargo this morning for Elden Ring, it's currently aggregated at an absurd 97 average on Metacritic, souring even beyond From's previously highest scoring games: Bloodborne and Sekiro.
Just one more day until this newly minted masterpiece is in our hands!

Hey all! I just wanted to announce the book is on the way for its initial proofing in digital format to help catch any errors, rendering issues, or artifacting that can crop up. Once this is all squared away it'll be cleared for physical proofing! I've learned a lot since publishing 1st Edition and am positively thrilled to make 2nd Edition as good as it can be and see the improvements come through! Not only that, this book will come in at a clean 150 pages in length!
The last note to include is that the printer I'm consulting for 2nd Edition (whom I also used for 1st Edition) did warn me about a nation-wide paper shortage in the United States which can delay orders. I'm still currently planning to begin fulfillment for rewards next month, and don't know at this moment if this shortage will affect the printing for 2nd Edition, and if so, for how long. Once things become more concrete y'all will be the first to know.
Thanks for your time everyone!
