Hello there companions!
It's hard to imagine, but the journey is almost over... Shipping is about to begin!
Please read this update in full. It contains important information about your Legend In The Mist pledge.
For any issues with your pledge or package, please * message * us on Kickstarter or email us at [email protected] .
We cannot answer order-specific questions via Kickstarter comments. Please use comments for general chat and whatever else you wish to express, but use messages/emails for support requests.
Shipping Schedule & Reminders
It's so exciting, the books and physical items are starting to ship!
United States: Shipping has started. However, due to the volume, some orders will be shipped next week.
Australia and Canada: Shipping expected to begin July 1st.
United Kingdom and Europe: Shipping expected to begin July 15th.
Address update? We sent out an address update email in May via BackerKit. If you still need your address updated, please email [email protected] ASAP.
Damaged Items? Our partner has an excellent rate of safely delivered packages (over 98.5%). However, if your items are damaged in transit, don't fret - we will replace them. Take pictures of the damaged package and damaged items and send them to [email protected] .
Here's What You'll Be Getting
Not gonna lie, these books and accessories came out gorgeous! We've been poring over them for the last few weeks and getting excited anew by all the rustic, tiny details, and the rich magical world of the Dales. We can't wait for you to be holding these items! Here are some preview pics.
Our Mistake. Your Gift.
Every rose has its thorn, it seems, but we found a way to make lemonade out of lemons.
Regrettably, we discovered a glaring error on the spine of The Core Book's Vol. II where the word "Narrator" was misspelled as "Nerrator". Somehow this mistake got past 4 cycles of review and into the final product. We've debriefed this ad nauseam and put in place protocols to prevent this from ever happening again, but the books were already printed and this will be the case with the books your receive.
Whether you find this terrible, sad, hilarious, insignificant in the grand scheme of things (we personally have gone through the full range of emotions) - we still think you should have a nice book cover.
So we've taken the opportunity to roll out a magical alternate cover dust jacket for both core books, that will be delivered with every core book (including in the Ravenhome slipcase set), whether for backers, pre-orders, or when you buy Legend In The Mist at your local game store.
You don't have to do anything to receive the alternate cover dust jacket - it will be shipped with your Core Book automatically.
Hopefully, when this first print run sells out, these error-bearing books will become somewhat of a joke and a perhaps even a collector's item. Nevertheless, we do sincerely apologize for this and hope you accept this gift as adequate compensation.
This is what your Core Books will look like with the alternate cover dust jackets on.
Remaining Digital Rewards
Both the Soundtrack and the Foundry modules have been completed, but we have all hands on deck right now for the delivery of the print books. We will release these two remaining digital rewards as soon as possible.
LaunchFest Is Ending Tomorrow!
If you have been active in the community and on Discord, you'll know that LaunchFest turned out to be a fantastic event!
We've had a hilarious flow of memes, some great daily polls, daily Peddler's Cart drops of extra content, weekly streams and Discord events (including a live play-by-post session last Sunday) and we've unlocked a bunch of goals such as a side quest, more herbalism recipes, more Thaumaturgical arts, a 5E monster converter, and the BeaverKin faction - all of which will be delivered later this year.
This celebration will wrap up tomorrow 6/17 at 9pm ET. If you have friends who you think should get into Legend In The Mist, let them know this is the last chance to get the game at preorder prices, up to 40% off post-launch price (not as good as Kickstarter deals, but still worthwhile!).
Join us tomorrow Wednesday 6/17 at 4pm ET | 1pm PT | 10pm CET for a finale livestream celebrate the game, hear stories about the making of the game from artist Alejandra Pinal and designer Manuel Serra Saez, as well as myself (Amit) and MC Kevin Carpenter. Also, we will reveal the winners of the Cauldron competition - new content recommended by us that you can get on DriveThruRPG!
---
That's it for today - the coming month will be focused on getting the books out to you all, wherever you may be in the world. We will continue to update on any major developments as needed - stay tuned!
Count the days with Launchfest!

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
6 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!
