A role playing game book and sequel to the successful Battle for Oz RPG.
Everyone should have a copy of the original book in the email box that is associated with their Kickstarter account. If you did not receive your copy, please let me know.

It's been a busy but productive month. There are only about 6 or 7 surveys left and I have been going through the surveys I have in. I'm just about through all of them so if you see an email from piratepressgames @gmail, it's probably me with a question about your survey.
I've gotten a handful of questions from backers new to the setting about the original Battle for Oz PDF. That is #1 on my list and though its taken me longer to verify the surveys than I hoped, I'm on track to have the first round of PDFs sent out on Monday the 7th. Thanks for your patience.
The book is coming along nicely. I'm still waiting on some contributor content but I am still on track to have it ready for my layout artist by November. As soon as I lock in all of the surveys I can order the bennies and dice. I've got about half of the custom dice rollers printed and ready to ship for my contributor backers. As always, don,t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions.

I completed my tester print of the Skull Island Dice Roller. The good news, it looks AMAZING!! The bad news, it rolls dice like crap!! Unfortunately, the dice kept getting hung up around the inside of the eye and nose holes and when it did actually roll out, it would roll out off the dice trey and onto the table. I tend to want my dice rollers to actually, umm.... roll dice well, so I am scrapping this design.
I am switching to a design I have used myself, the Oz Tower dice roller. It looks great, it's a one-piece dice roller, and it rolls awesome! I am printing a test of it now in a cool metal rainbow color PLA. I plan to switch to this design UNLESS you really want the Skull Island dice roller despite its failings as a dice roller, just email me your preference and I will send you it instead.

I'm drawing, and writing! Here is a sneak at a new creature.
An Oz Harpy is a dangerous creature. They are not native to Oz. They migrated to the Fae several hundred years ago form parts of Nonestica unknown, which means they somehow had the power to cross the deadly desert, before it became a sea. No one knows their exact number, but what is known is that they are solitary creatures. Killing a Harpy is even more dangerous than surviving an attack from one. If you kill a Harpy, you are marked with a scent that all other Harpys can smell for miles. The marked become the hunted any time they enter the Fae. Although Harpy's are indiscriminate meat eaters, they seem to have a special affinity for Yips. Despite all that, they don't always attack (unless you're marked). If you encounter one in the Fae don't panic, they can be powerful allies and vast sources of information. Of course, if they make eye contact with you and grit their teeth, you might want to run.
In other news, the surveys are 82% complete! Thx guys! But that means that I still have 12% stragglers though, so if you haven't completed your survey, get on it!! As soon as I get all the surveys in I will go over them with a fine-tooth comb to make sure they are correct before locking them in. I have looked at a few of them already and have noticed a possible error here or there so I will email you if I have any questions.
More to come soon, Dan.
