Hello there companions - happy Beltane!
Our journey is almost at an end (although in RPGs as in life, when one journey ends, another always begins!). The last part of the journey started yesterday when the print books and items of Legend In The Mist were picked up from the print house, beginning their travel to... your hands. From here, they will traverse land and sea, pass hands, pay tariffs to the border guards, until at long last you will be united!
Fulfillment Update
Okay, less figuratively, we have good news: the books are now making their way over to our fulfillment centers in the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia 🎉
The US shipment is set to arrive June 1st, with the others arriving later in June.
There is often a buffer period of two weeks for clearing customs and warehouse receiving.
We anticipate shipping to begin on June 17th in the US, and end early in July in the EU-UK (with Canada and Australia in the middle).
Books will arrive at your address between 3-10 days later: before the end of June in the US, and before middle of July elsewhere.
We will continue to provide updates on the timeline in each location closer to the date.
It is NOT yet time to update your address. We will send another update about that in mid-May.
The remaining rewards - the soundtrack and the Foundry VTT module - are in progress and nearing completion. More updates on that later.
🔥Launchfest is upon us!🔥
If you've been following these updates, you know how special this game is to us at Son of Oak. We want to make its print launch a special occasion, a true celebration. We also feel the need to express our deepest gratitude to you, the backers, and to all the other supporters who helped bring this game to life!
Moreover, we're blown away by the waves LitM is making in the TTRPG world. While it was in development, it more than doubled its supporters (backers and preorders) to near 19,000 and raised more than $1,750,000 all together!! It was voted 2025's most anticipated RPG on EN World and then went on to become the #1-rated game of 2025 on DriveThruRPG.
We've therefore announced a community-wide countdown celebration - LAUNCHFEST- to mark this momentous occasion with the growing Legend In The Mist community. Here is what it includes:
Peddler's Cart: Daily Drops of new LitM content for backers and supporters only. Every day until the books are here, you'll get a new theme kit, Challenge, Trope, or Journey! You received an email from DriveThruRPG on Wednesday with a file that will be updated daily with the new drops. If you don't have it, reach out to us at [email protected] .
New Unlockable Goals: We're adding more digital content to the game as more people join the LitM community. The first goal (New Sidequest) has already been unlocked!
Cauldron of Mist competition, where you create, share, and sell your own Legend In The Mist creations, and we will pick three winning submissions that will win cash rewards! Submit by June 2nd.
It's going to be a hell of a party, in the best tradition of the Dales - and we do hope you'll join us there!
Invite Your Friends
Launchfest is also the last chance for newcomers to preorder the game at a reduced price and guarantee their copy. If your friends are looking to jump into Legend In The Mist, let them know there's not time like the present.
Also, if your Friendly Local Game Store is looking to stock Legend In The Mist, Launchfest has a dedicated retailers bundle.
As we shared in the previous update, we make sure backers always got the best deal. Backer orders will be the first to ship out and the kickstarter pricing is the best deal you could get, even with current discounts. Please let us know if you find anything to the contrary so we can fix it.
What's Next?
Our next update will go out May 12th with instructions about address updates.
Until then, enjoy the festivities as we count the days!
With gratitude,
- Amit and the Son of Oak team
Print Update and Preview (June!) + Reminder of Our Pledge to Backers
2 months ago
– Mon, Apr 06, 2026 at 12:57:25 PM
Hello there companions,
It's hard to imagine, but our incredible journey together is finally entering its final leg. You've been very patient and we hope and believe that this was rewarded with a worthy game.
Here's an update on where we are with the physical rewards of this campaign. The remaining digital rewards - soundtrack and VTT support - are in development and will be released soon.
Print Update!
We're on track! If there are no extraneous delays, print is due to finish by April 30th. The freight boats then leave early May and arrive end of May or early June. The warehouse will then take about 1-2 weeks to receive the shipment (it's massive), so shipping to backers will begin around mid-June and hopefully finish by the end of June.
Not Yet Time For Address Updates: We will reach out in mid-May to get your updated address.
Here's a preview from the printer of what the Core Book Volume I and II look like:

Our Pledge To Backers Regarding Sales Promotions
We're planning a big promotional event (more on that later) for the arrival of the print books. Like the Kickstarter, the launch is a singular moment in the life cycle of an RPG, and we want to make the most of it to grow the community and get more people playing Legend In The Mist!
However, since there was recently some confusion among backers, we wanted to reiterate our pledge to you so you can rest assured that the backers are our first priority.
Backers always get the best deal and the best price.
We are very diligent about ensuring that those who supported Legend In The Mist at the beginning of the journey get the best deal, as it should be. You may see a variety of promotional deals and offers across our website and social media, but please know backers are always first on our list, and no current or future promotion is better than the price you got on this Kickstarter campaign.
We do this across the board, on all channels. If something you see confuses you or makes you wonder, please let us know on Discord (#ask-the-devs channel). We can help highlight some details you've missed or, in the rare case that we missed something, you can help us fix it.
The only time you'll see a deal better than your Kickstarer backer deal is at the very end of a game's life cycle, years after it was first published.
Backers get the print items first.
When the books and accessories arrive, backer orders will be processed first, while all other pre-orders and orders will be put on hold and shipped only after backer orders. This means backers should get their items before anyone else. Furthermore, we have set the store availability date for Legend In The Mist to July 15th, and we will further delay it if necessary to ensure you get your items well before you see them in stores.
We cannot however guarantee this on a global level. Due to freight and customs difference, some countries or regions will receive their print items before others. Once we finish fulfilling backer orders in a given region, we will continue to pre-orders in that region, even if the books still didn't ship to backers in another country.
Another thing we cannot control is the distance from the warehouse to you. If you live extremely far or post service to you location is infrequent or slow, it may take time for your package to reach you.
Finally, this year's Free RPG Day (US) on June 20th will include a free booklet copy of the comic book tutorial that is included in the Core Book as a way to reach more players and grow the Legend In The Mist community. It's most likely that by then all backers in the US will have received their items, including the Core Book, but we wanted to give you a heads up about this potential overlap. As said above, the Core Book itself will not be available in stores until July 15th.
Of course, there are many other benefits to being a backer.
As you know, being a backer is not only about getting the best deal or the first package. Your contribution allowed the game to be made, and that's an incredible thing - without backers, we wouldn't have Legend In The Mist to begin with. You were also a major part of shaping the game and its different items (remember landscape-gate?) and through your early access to the playtesting materials, you helped us polish off the books with valuable feedback. We're so grateful for the community of backers who helped us bring this game to life - we really couldn't have done this without you.
What's Next?
That's it for now - we now wait for the prints to do their things. We may post another update this month to announce the aforementioned launch event, but if not, our next update will be on May 12th to let you know the books are on the boat (if all goes well!).
Until next time, stay safe on these Dalish roads!

Hello companions!
Happy Chinese New Year, year of the Fire Horse! 🐎🔥
Hearts of Ravensdale is complete!
Woohooo, it's finally here! Yesterday, we've sent out the complete Hearts of Ravensdale book via DriveThruRPG. If you didn't receive it by now, please check in with us at [email protected] .
Wake Of The Oldways campaign
Other than tweaks and corrections, the main addition to the book is the campaign Wake Of The Old Ways (WOTOW) which contains 7 adventures, starting with an expanded demo adventure. You can play it as one-shots, a close-ended series that ends with the last adventure, or as the first act in a three-act campaign, where the following acts will be published in later books.
The campaign is fully Solo/Co-Op supported, hiding all secrets behind a spoiler alert marker so you can navigate the text without exposing the ending or the secrets of the Challenges you're facing.
We also added three Thaumaturgical Arts for those of you who will want to become Thaumaturges: the Art of Angling, the Art of Veiling, and the Art of the Shepherd. More Arts will come in future books.
We reconfirmed the production timeline with our printer (who has already printed the core books and early accessories) and they will complete the project by mid-April, allowing for delivery in mid-late June.

Final Rewards: The Soundtrack and VTTs
Now that the campaign is finally out, Ian from Tabletop RPG Music will be composing an amazing score specifically for Hearts of Ravensdale. This should be ready in a couple of months or so, stay tuned.
We have released official sheet support for Roll20 and Foundry!Follow on Discord for more current updates. We will then move ahead with modules and compendiums for Foundry at the very least (with backers getting free keys), and we're hoping to also fully support Roll20 in time. Follow Alchemy VTT to get their updates about support for Legend In The Mist and Hearts of Ravensdale.
HoR Launch Livestream Today at 4pm ET!
We're sharing Hearts of Ravensdale with the world! Starting today it will be available for immediate download on sonofoak.com and DriveThruRPG. To celebrate this momentous milestone, we'll be going live today (Wednesday) at 4pm ET / 1pm ET / 10pm CET together with MC Kevin Carpenter, Lead Artist Alejandra Pinal, and yours truly Game Creator Amit Moshe -- join us to discuss all the wholesome and dark goodness that is in this book!
The licensed Legend In The Mist setting Beyond The Woods by Old Oak Games (our Irish cousins) is coming to Kickstarter next Tuesday, February 24th. This setting inspired by Irish mythology will support a more heroic tier of play for LitM and bring special rules for hexcrawls, among a plethora of other content like adventures, theme kits, Challenges, and Ways of Magic.
Our next update will be next week to remind you of the above Beyond The Woods Kickstarter going live. Following that, we may reduce the frequency of updates to about once a month, unless we have special news to report. Our following update will be March 12th, tentatively.
Not Yet Time for Address Change: About a month before shipping the physical books and accessories, we will reach out to you for updated address. Stay tuned!
That's all for today - enjoy your Dalish adventures!
