August Update - PDF Delivery, Cards Charged, & Update on Physical Delivery
7 months ago

We apologize for the delay in sending out an update. The main reason for this is that we did not have any progress to report in the past, but we have now made great progress!
As the team got further into creating A Handbook for the Player, they found more and more content to include. You are benefiting from this by getting an 84 page book instead of the 40 page we originally planned!
Plus, working on this has inspired the idea for A Manual of Monsters. So keep an eye out for that next Zinequest!
PDF Delivery
⚔️ Today we delivered the PDF of A Handbook for the Player via Backerkit.
How to download: An email was sent to you and you will be able to access by logging into your Backerkit account, going to this project, and then choosing digital downloads.
We also delivered the following PDF add-ons and rewards:
- Mazes Fantasy Roleplaying PDF
- Mazes City of Skull Setting Book PDF
- Mazes Adventure Module Bundle PDF
Sample Pages
Physical Delivery
This is being printed in the US with a trusted printer. They have quoted us 4 weeks delivery.
- Pre-press files complete ✅
- Pre-press files to be sent to printer 8/22/25
- Digital proofs approved (expected 8/27)
- In Production (expected 9/2)
- Delivered to 9th Level's warehouse (expected 9/22)
Today we also charged credit cards in Backerkit for any lingering add-ons and shipping costs as well as delivered a number of PDF rewards.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.

July Update - Physical delivery delayed & new PDF delivery date

♥️ Thank you SO much for your patience as we navigated a hectic May and June!
We were hit with some issues on other projects, have been out of town quite a bit due to conventions since mid-May, and then had some internal illness/surgeries. We should have posted but that step slipped through the cracks!
❗️PDF deliver is expected by the end of July
Right now we think physical delivery to you will start in mid-August unless production takes way longer than quoted. Anyone who backed City of Skull knows that we are also delayed over there as well, so we'll still be able to ship this zine along with your Mazes City of Skull order.
Production Update
- Manuscript written ✅
- Content Editing now ✅
- Copy editing done ✅
- In Layout (expect done by 7/25)
- Proofread & make corrections (1 week) **PDF DELIVERY BY 7/31
- In Production (2-3 weeks)
- Delivering to you (1 week)
Thank you for your continued support and patience!
