📣The Printer Beckons... and the Future Takes Shape
about 1 month ago – Fri, Jul 10, 2026 at 03:42:18 PM

GREETINGS, DASTARDLY DELEGATES OF THE DARK CITADEL!

It is I, Scribblegut the Third... Assistant to the Assistant Quartermaster of Villainous Logistics, Guardian of the Gold Foil, and the unfortunate soul responsible for convincing the Overlord that "just one more revision" was absolutely necessary.

📕 THE QUEST PLANNER HAS LEFT THE CITADEL!

At long last...

After countless revisions...
Several arguments with the scribes...
One unfortunate ribbon-related incident...
And more proofreading than any creature should endure...

🖨️The Quest Planner has officially been sent to the printer!

The Overlord has signed the decree.
The presses await.
The scribes have been released from their cages. (Temporarily.)

Before we sealed the tome away forever, many of you answered our call for feedback.
You found spelling mistakes.
You questioned rules.
You discovered combinations that would have allowed a reasonably clever goblin to retire before Page 20.

Excellent work. 

We managed to incorporate most of your suggestions, and the Planner is far better because of it.

From all of us here in the Dark Citadel... Thank you.

✨ DID SOMEONE SAY... STICKERS?

If you haven't wandered through our itch.io page recently, you may have missed one of the Planner's newest additions... The stickers!

The link will only show for those that have claimed their copy.

Equipment. Followers. Pets. All ready to decorate your adventures with villainous style.

Personally, I've already used three plague rat stickers to organize my lunch.

🚢 NOW... WE WAIT.

The tome has left our hands. Now it must survive the great trials:

✔ Printing
✔ Quality inspection
✔ Ocean voyages
✔ Freight goblins
✔ Customs officials

(Easily the scariest monsters on this list.)

Assuming all goes well... We expect fulfillment to begin in roughly two months.

Our friends in the UK and EU may receive theirs a bit earlier.
Our unfortunate allies in Asia will likely wait a little longer while the shipping dragons complete their migration.

🏠 MOVED YOUR LAIR?

Should your castle... Dungeon... Apartment... Or suspicious cabin in the woods...
...change locations... You can update your address anytime through your pledge survey.

👉 https://2026-quest-calendar.backerkit.com/

  1. Go into your survey (link above)
  2. Click the "View Confirmation" button.
  3. Click the "Update Shipping Info" button.
  4. Change your address.
  5. Click the "Place my Order" button.

If using mobile, you will need to click a few "V" carrots to expand some sections first.
If changing state or country, you'll have to request help from BackerKit.

We'll also send an official reminder before addresses are locked. Because nothing ruins villainy quite like conquering the wrong address.

🃏 ONE LAST PROMISE REMAINS

Some of you may remember... There is still one final Stretch Goal owed. The one we officially achieved AFTER the campaign ended... you sneaky Rough Rouge Rogues!!

The villainous solo card game!!

Good news! The game itself is finished.

We've played it.
Broken it.
Fixed it.
Broken it again.
Declared the exploits "creative strategy."

Now all that's left is writing the official rules. Soon you'll finally have a proper excuse for carrying a deck of cards everywhere you go.

With exhaustive dying breath... don't worry, I have a few death saves left...

The Planner marches toward the presses. 
One final Stretch Goal remains.
And somewhere deep beneath the Dark Citadel... The future is already being written.

With ink-stained claws and suspicious optimism,
Scribblegut the Third
Chief Ribbon Untangler, and the only minion brave enough to tell the Overlord that page 137 needed another comma.

The Digital Planner Has Arrived
3 months ago – Wed, May 27, 2026 at 07:56:12 AM

GREETINGS, PRODUCTIVE PILLAGERS AND SCHEDULED SCOUNDRELS!

It is I, Scribblegut the Third, Keeper of Margins, Breaker of Bookmarks, and Survivor of the Great Goblin Formatting Incident.

📕 THE digital QUEST PLANNER IS LIVE!

At long last, the digital version of the Quest Planner has been unleashed upon the realm!

If you ordered:

  • The PDF version
  • OR a physical copy that includes the PDF

…your codes are going out now. Check your inboxes, spam folders, cursed archives, and that one email account you forgot existed.

You can find your digital codes in your pledge survey. Lost your pledge survey? Retrieve it here 👉 https://2026-quest-calendar.backerkit.com/

🔨 NOW COMES AN IMPORTANT PART

Before this mighty tome is locked away and hurled toward the printing presses, we need your eyes, your brains, and your wonderfully nitpicky villain energy.

Over the next couple of weeks, this is your chance to help shape the final version.

Found:

  • A spelling mistake?
  • A confusing rule?
  • A wildly broken strategy involving goblins and infinite wealth?
  • A balance issue, exploit, or awkward page layout?

WE WANT TO HEAR IT.

Leave feedback here:
https://itch.io/t/6405430/feedback-before-printing

The mission is simple:
Forge this Planner into the best possible experience before it becomes physical reality.

⚔️ A NOTE ABOUT COMBAT

One important change for the Quest Planner: we adjusted combat to feel a bit more like a traditional RPG experience.

Since the Planner isn’t designed around just a couple of minutes per day, combat encounters are longer and more tactical, similar to the “boss-style” fights found in the Quest Calendar

That means enemies no longer last just for a single round. You must battle them until their Health is reduced to zero.

So sharpen your blades, stock your potions, and perhaps reconsider charging headfirst into every suspicious cave entrance.

🏖️ WE AREN'T GHOSTING YOU

Starting Thursday, May 28, we’ll be taking a short vacation to briefly remember what sunlight looks like.

During that time, we may not be around to answer questions immediately. If I do answer your question or comment on your post, the Overlord will be whipping me for not following the rules of proper vacation etiquette. 

But once we return, we’ll dive into your feedback, make adjustments, and prepare the Planner for its final march toward production. After that, the normal timeline for printing, shipping, and fulfillment will begin (about 2 months).

It is one step closer to being in your hands.

With ink-stained fingers and cautiously optimistic pride,
Scribblegut the Third
Proofreader of Doom, Faux-Leather Enthusiast, and Enemy of Infinite Goblin Economies

So Close… Yet Still One Page Short
4 months ago – Tue, Apr 07, 2026 at 12:55:39 PM

GREETINGS, MINIONS OF METICULOUS MALICE!

It is I, Scribblegut the Third, Binder of Broken Promises, Ribbon Straightener, and Reluctant Bearer of “Almost Ready” News.

😬 ANOTHER PLANNER UPDATE… AND ANOTHER APOLOGY

Truth be told… I’d love to say this was an update I didn’t have to write.

Delivering less-than-great news is never fun, even for a hardened minion like me. We know we said the digital Quest Planner would be ready by now, and I would much rather be announcing its grand release than admitting we’re still finishing the final touches.

But honesty matters more than pretending everything is perfect. And here I stand, holding a stack of pages that are so close to finished that I can practically smell the ink drying.

⏱️ WHY THE DELAY?

Because every time we think we’re done, we find one more improvement, one more clarification, one more small adjustment that makes the experience better.

And while delays are frustrating, releasing something half-baked would be worse. (We tried that once. The bread screamed.)

This final stretch has been about refinement: Balancing mechanics, clarifying rules, improving layout details, and making sure the planner actually feels good to use.

We’re deep in that phase where everything works… but we want it to work beautifully.

And yes, it really is so close now. 

Close enough that Scribblegut has already started practicing dramatic book-opening poses.

🫣 A GLIMPSE OF WHAT’S INSIDE

Even with the delay, our excitement hasn’t faded. Every time we look at it, we’re reminded why we’re taking the extra time.

While we finish the final pieces, I didn’t want to leave you empty-handed. So in this update, I’ll be sharing a few preview images of in-game equipment, followers, and pets... some of the treasures waiting inside the Quest Planner.

And yes… Scribblegut has already claimed several favorites.

Gear worth hoarding◈ Loyal followers ready to serve◈ Pets that are adorable… and possibly dangerous
A beautiful new map of the dangerous world of Maladoria.

⏳WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

We are pushing hard to finish this final stretch. 

No new promises. No bold declarations of exact dates. Just steady progress… and a Planner that will be worth the wait.

You’ll hear from us again the moment the digital version is truly ready to unleash.

Not almost-ready.
Not nearly-ready.
Ready.

Thank you for sticking with us through this final stretch. Your patience has meant more than you know — even when Scribblegut is pacing the halls muttering about margins and spacing.

With ink-stained fingers and stubborn determination,
Scribblegut the Third
Master of Margins, Polisher of Pages, and Guardian of the Nearly Finished Tome

📣 A Slight Delay, A Beautiful Tome, and Apple Finally Behaves
5 months ago – Mon, Mar 09, 2026 at 10:20:22 AM

GREETINGS, BACKERS OF SHADOW AND SCHEDULE!

It is I, Scribblegut the Third, Keeper of Questionable Deadlines, Polisher of Gold Foil, and Official Apologizer to the Horde.

😬 FIRST… AN APOLOGY

We owe you one.

Last month we said the digital Quest Planner would be ready by the end of the month.
Well… the month ended. The Planner did not.

This delay was not part of our master plan for dramatic suspense (though it does add flair). The truth is that between fulfillment chaos, app development, and final tuning of the Planner, we simply did not get it finished in time.

For that, we are sorry.

The good news is that the extra time has allowed us to refine and improve the Planner, and it is shaping up to be something we are genuinely proud of.

📕 A GLORIOUS PRE-PRODUCTION COPY HAS ARRIVED

And now… the fun part.

We recently received a pre-production copy of the Quest Planner, and let me tell you… it is a thing of villainous beauty.

Gaze upon its splendor and admire it like a dragon admires treasure. 

Feast your eyes upon:

  • 📕A faux-leather cover (because real dragon hide was… “ethically complicated”)
  • 💛Gold foil stamping that gleams like freshly stolen treasure
  • 🔖Extra ribbon bookmarks for maximum dramatic page flipping
  • 🗺️A beautiful map printed inside the cover
  • 📂Storage pockets for notes, secrets, and possibly cursed artifacts

It looks fantastic. Even the Overlord paused his brooding long enough to nod approvingly.

📘 DIGITAL QUEST PLANNER: COMING SOON

Our goal remains to release the digital version of the Quest Planner within the next couple of weeks.

This early release will allow players to explore the system and provide feedback before the final print version goes to production.

Your input helps us sharpen the rules, clarify mechanics, and make sure the final product is worthy of your villainous ambitions.

📚 GAME RESOURCES NOW AVAILABLE

In the meantime, many helpful resources for the 2026 Quest Calendar have been gathered into one convenient lair. You can now find:

  • The Villain Codex
  • Character Sheets
  • Rules
  • Additional resources

Perfect for plotting, tracking, and pretending you read the rules before playing. All here: 👉 SundialGames.com/2026

🍎 APPLE iOS UPDATE: VICTORY!

At long last, the fruit-shaped gatekeepers have relented. Apple has officially approved the app update, which means you no longer need to use TestFlight.

You may now download the official version directly from the App Store:

📱 https://apps.apple.com/ph/app/quest-calendar-villains-2026/id6754886036

No beta invites. No workarounds. Just pure villain-tracking glory.

More updates soon.

Thank you again for your patience while we polish, tweak, and occasionally wrestle technology into submission.

iOS Thwarted (For Now), TestFlight Unleashed, and a Quest Planner Progress Report
6 months ago – Fri, Feb 06, 2026 at 03:57:20 PM

GREETINGS, PERSISTENT PLOTTERS AND PATIENT PROBLEM-SOLVERS!

It is I, Scribblegut the Third, Button-Click Lobbyist, Beta-Gate Crasher, and Senior Liaison to the Ever-Mysterious Apple Tribunal.

🍎 APPLE iOS UPDATE (YES, AGAIN)

We wish this tale had a triumphant ending. Alas.

Apple has once again denied approval for our latest iOS update (all of them thus far). We have made the changes they requested. We have answered the questions. We have waited. And waited.

So naturally, we chose a different path. Muahaha.

🧪 TESTFLIGHT TO THE RESCUE

For now, we are bypassing the App Store review by granting access through Apple’s official beta system called TestFlight.

Here’s what that means, in plain Common Tongue:

  • TestFlight is an Apple-approved way to let users try beta versions of apps
  • It is safe, official, and commonly used
  • The app may say “beta,” but it is fully playable

👉 Sign up for TestFlight access here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/983TG1um

Once you accept the invite, install the app through TestFlight and open it.

⭐ HOW TO UNLOCK YOUR PREMIUM FEATURES

After installing the latest version:

  • 1) Tap the ⭐ star icon in the top-right corner of the app
  • 2) Enter your email address
  • 3) For the password, use your App Code

You can find your App Code in your pledge survey. 
Lost it? Fear not. Retrieve it here: 👉 https://2026-quest-calendar.backerkit.com/

📕 QUEST PLANNER STATUS UPDATE

Now, onto the other very important book-shaped elephant in the room. 

This year has presented more challenges than expected. Fulfillment hurdles and app delays have pushed some timelines back, including the Quest Planner.

Here’s where things stand:

  • We are still planning a digital release by the end of the month
  • The Planner is currently in active playtesting to get balance right
  • We are reviewing the layout and aesthetics for possible improvements

Feedback from this year’s Quest Calendar, especially around combat clarity, is directly helping us refine the Planner rules.

This is actually an excellent moment to get involved if you want to help shape it.

👉 Quest Planner Sample Link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XoZDKeSx7Zk7HWWAzd1n7L0_gvMPgtia/view

Try it. Break it. Tell us what feels great and what feels confusing. Your feedback now makes the final product stronger.

We know this has been a bumpy road. We appreciate your patience more than you know. Thank you for sticking with us while we wrestle apps, wrangle printers, and negotiate with unseen approval entities.

With clenched teeth and a signed TestFlight invite,
