📦 A Small Dispatch From the Shipping Dungeon
7 days ago
– Wed, Sep 23, 2026 at 03:48:07 PM
GREETINGS, PATIENT PLANNERS AND FREIGHT-WATCHING FIENDS!
It is I, Scribblegut the Third, Watcher of Warehouses, Harasser of Freight Carriers, and the minion who has refreshed the tracking page enough times to qualify as an attack.
THE PLANNERS HAVE LANDED! Well... some of them.
UK / AU / CANADA / REST OF WORLD
Just over 300 Quest Planners have teleported to the UK warehouse!
Wave 2 is a smaller fulfillment batch and this warehouse will serve backers in the UK, Australia region, Canada, and Rest of World.
Our minions at GamesQuest are now working to slot the Planner into their fulfillment schedule.
They may send you a separate address confirmation before shipping. If that scroll arrives, COMPLETE IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
Do not place it beneath a stack of bills. Do not mark it "I'll do this later." Do not feed it to your spam folder.
A confirmed lair makes for a happy delivery goblin.
EU
Your Planners are still traveling, but they're expected to reach the EU warehouse any day now.
I have been staring toward the horizon dramatically. It has not made the ship move faster.
US
Your Planners are also still in transit and have a few more weeks to travel before reaching us.
We'll send out address update reminders soon. When you receive one, please check your address and make any necessary changes ASAP so we can prepare for fulfillment without delays.
We are working with Petrie's Family Games to organize a local pickup event.

Planners, Cardacombs, & The Fate of 2027
about 1 month ago
– Wed, Aug 26, 2026 at 12:52:57 PM
GREETINGS, YE SUN-BEATEN SCOUNDRELS AND SEASONALLY CONFUSED MINIONS!
It is I, Scribblegut the Third, Keeper of Production Scrolls, Inspector of Suspicious Card Mazes, and Newly Appointed Celebrator of Gremlins Returning to School.
Ahhh, summer. The sun blazed. The children ran wild. Productivity collapsed.
But now the little gremlins have been returned to their educational dungeons, the Dark Citadel grows quieter, and we can finally hear ourselves scheme again. And there is much scheming to report.
The Quest Planner is nearing the end of production. Our final Stretch Goal has transformed into a complete new game. And, yes... We need to talk about 2027.
But first, something shiny.
📕 QUEST PLANNER: THE PRESSES ARE TURNING!
The Quest Planner is in the final stages of production!
Soon the last books should emerge from the presses, receive their final inspections, and be loaded up for their long journey toward our fulfillment lairs.
In other words, the Planner is rapidly becoming less of a collection of files, proofs, spreadsheets, and sleepless nights... and more of an actual giant pile of books.
While we wait, I have something rather fun to share.
I've always enjoyed those "How It's Made" videos where you get to peek behind the curtain and watch ordinary materials slowly transform into something wonderful.
So naturally, I demanded the scribes acquire one of our Quest Planner.
Watch the covers being made. Watch the pages come together. Marvel at the machinery.
Then remember that somewhere in that enormous production line is your book. Unless you didn't order one. In which case, stop trying to claim someone else's.
🃏 OUR FINAL STRETCH GOAL IS COMPLETE!
A long-forgotten promise has crawled out of the Stretch Goal Dungeon. Well... IT'S DONE. And it has a name:
Build the maze. Brave the deck. Find the treasure. Cardacombs turns a standard deck of playing cards into a sprawling dungeon of hidden dangers.
First, you construct the maze as the BBEG. Then you send a party of Heroes foolish enough to enter it. Your goal is to find all four Treasures before your final Hero falls.
Explore unknown rooms. Remember the safest paths. Survive what lurks within.
No board required. Just a deck of cards, some table space, and the confidence to believe that surely this corridor won't lead to another horrible death. It probably will.
With that, our final Stretch Goal is officially complete.
Scribblegut may now cross one more item from the Great Ledger of Things We Promised Before Realizing We Would Actually Have to Make Them.
🔮 AND NOW... ABOUT 2027
Ah yes... The question whispered through every dungeon hallway:
"Will there be a 2027 Quest Calendar?"
Officially... No.
Oh, don't look at me like that. The truth is actually much more exciting. There will be another Quest Calendar. It simply... won't be ready in time for a January 1st start date.
Somewhere along the way the Overlord decided "slightly different" wasn't ambitious enough. So we've gone far beyond that. The story is unlike anything we've written before. The mechanics are unlike anything we've built before.
And if we rushed it... It wouldn't become what we know it can be. So we're giving it the time it deserves.
I've seen pieces of it. I am legally forbidden from saying more. Mostly because the Overlord keeps changing the ending.
But we will release a teaser with the next update and keep everyone up-to-date on the campaign.
It's rather strange to see how far we've come.
The Planner that occupied our desks for so long is becoming a physical book. The final Stretch Goal is finished. And we're beginning to look toward what comes next, even if "next" looks a little different than it has in years past.
As always, thank you for continuing to follow us through all of it.
Now go play Cardacombs while I stare impatiently toward the docks and demand to know whether the Planner shipment has moved since I checked eleven minutes ago.
With freshly sharpened pencils and an unhealthy interest in freight schedules, Scribblegut the Third Keeper of the Production Ledger, Architect of Questionable Card Mazes, and Celebrator of the Annual Gremlin Migration

📣The Printer Beckons... and the Future Takes Shape

– 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!
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.
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
4 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.
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?
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
6 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
Official Dispatch from the Dark Citadel This message was written on the last page of a nearly finished book… which someone then insisted on revising again.
