Hey guys!!!
First off, Happy Halloween!!!
Things have been pretty crazy over here, we have not stopped our onslaught of fulfillment, and we have also been getting ready for the next phase of this whole, uh, nerd business thing!
LET'S BEGIN!
FULFILLMENT
Throughout this past month I've been visiting and meeting with all the local backers in New York. We had a great trip out to Rochester a few weeks ago, delivering everything but the shirts to all our Rochester backers!
In the usual cosmic comedic fashion, the shipment of shirts that did come in for Roch backers got to my house the day AFTER I got back from said trip. There's always next time!
We'll be shipping out shirts to backers in batches over the next few weeks. It may take a month or so, but we're trying to get everything mailed out before December the latest - which coincides pretty well with the juiciest bit of news in this update ---
Exalted Funeral gave us the confirmation that your pledges are mailing out THIS WEEK!!!!
Keep your ears peeled, keep your eyes peeled - the Basilisk is rearing its head and biting the world, this November!
UNCLES.
You may have heard some murmurings on the internet about The Epic of Dreams going on Tour, and I'm here to tell you the rumors are true.
After stumbling upon this brochure 'Circle of Adventure' medium, I've become really excited about exploring what we can do with this unit of story. I was originally planning on selling these brochures, which we're still going to do (You're all receiving one of these in your pledges, along with some other super secret goodies), but I've been thinking about my 'business model' and how to best go about delivering our mysteries to the people of the world, and you can't beat free!
Every few months or so, we're going to be releasing new themed TOURS, wherein The Epic of Dreams will host free live play events at various game stores and conventions across the US, as well as many free online events!
One cool free thingy I've made this past month for all this (with the aid of feedback from the Cult of the Muse & Necropolis discord servers) is this neat printable Hero Grimoire brochure-style character sheet!
You can download these for free in our subscriber package, 'The Goods', by signing up for our substack email list, or by joining our discord server!
Here's the link again to RSVP to our first tour's many events, starting THIS WEEKEND!

(you're gonna have to copypasta that one, for whatever reason the site won't let me link it there?)
btw, we're doing a SPHERE JAM for this first tour, with prizes and the whole 9, whose winners will be announced in our holiday live stream on December 23rd!
THE FUTURE.
It really does feel like just yesterday when we put out that video in January about 2023 being the year we master the self, jamming to Dragula and all that. We definitely learned a lot in 2023, and we're going full speed ahead into 2024.
We've got a lot of new projects and free content that we're really excited to announce, but we're also going to try and not combust (or repeat all the fumbles of this Kickstarter ever again).
We're going to be releasing some cool new stuff, mostly in line with these tours, making them organic and sustainable, so we can keep doing them!
So, for now, instead of trying to tell you everything we have planned, we're going to keep it mysterious, almost as a CYA policy, LOL.
2024 will be a year of Tours, Dread, Beans, Behemoths, and DREAMS.
We humbly hope you'll be joining us in whatever we get into next.
May we never do you harm.
Your Worst Servant,
Drew Cochran
