Stormweaver 1 & 2 - Paperbacks & Signed Hardcovers

Printing Nearly Complete!
5 months ago – Fri, May 15, 2026 at 11:30:26 AM

Hey all! Update on our timeline according to the printer!

We have been told that the Edge Editions should complete production by end of this month (May), at which point they will ship us several copies of each final book to ensure that they are correct and to our expected specifications.

Assuming that there are no issues for a third time, we then approve, and it's about 3-4 weeks before our non-US fulfillment partner gets the books in hand, and another 3-4 before we get our in hand here in the US.

SO... Assuming the printer holds to their schedule and there are no further delays, the current rough timeline looks like this:

• June 1ish: Book finished printing.
• June 15ish: Final books approved by us at Wraithmarked HQ
• July 15ish: Non-US fulfillment commences
• August 15ish: US fulfillment commences

Once again we're so sorry for the massive delay with these Edge Editions. We had to refuse that first batch, because they would have been below the quality we had advertised and you had paid for, but we still hate that we had to do it.

Just in case you missed our initial update regarding why we rejected the Edge Editions, feel free to check out that update HERE!

Barring further issues, though... The final light at the end of the tunnel is in sight!

Let us know if you have any questions!

Tip-Ins Sent Back to the Printer! And... a Campaign Shout-Out!
6 months ago – Mon, Apr 20, 2026 at 10:37:27 AM

Hey there folks! 

We hope you're well and apologies for getting this one out late - we're at BookCon in NYC this weekend (more on that in the next update)! In case you didn't see our last update regarding the Edge Editions and why we decided to have them reprinted, you can check out that update HERE!

As promised, our printer sent us new tip-ins (signature pages) for Bryce to sign. We have since received them and they are (already) officially on their way BACK to the printer! Bryce was a trooper, signing thousands of pages in essentially a weekend and knocking this monumentous task out of the park. Let's all collectively wish Bryce's wrist a swift recovery! <3

That being said, we're one step closer to getting these Edge Editions to you guys. And once again, thank you so much for your continued patience and positivity. It does not go unnoticed, trust us!

And now back to business... we have a campaign to shout-out!

Thanks so much for tuning in! We'll see you in the next one!

We got the Edge Editions. We're rejecting them and making the printer redo them. Here's why.

Hey all. Bryce here with an update I really never want to have to f*cking make.

As some of you guys know, we had some major issues with our printer when they produced our A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC EDITION. You can see that Update here if you're morbidly curious.

After that happened, the printer assured us that they would be classifying our projects for a higher tier of quality control. They told us again and again that they would make sure everything would go according to plan from here on out.

Everything did not go according to plan.

On receiving the Edge Editions, we realized that they were lacking headbands and tailbands. 

For a standard edition book, this isn't the biggest issue in the world. Lots of standard books don't have them, STORMWEAVER's included. However, 1) these were $60 special editions, 2) the printer had JUST promised us that everything would go okay, and 3) the proof copies they'd sent us for approval did include the headbands and tailbands, meaning they failed to provide product identical to the proofs.

For this reason... We are making them reprint everything.

Let me first acknowledge that this will indeed mean more weeks of delay. I'm so sorry. In my perfect world these Edge Editions would have been shipped out with the standard hardcovers and paperbacks a year ago. For the printer to fail not once, but twice (first a screwup with the cases that created the first delay, and now this) is frankly... insane, and I genuinely cannot express how f*cking angry I am at this secondary failure in a row.

In fact, I made the printer write up a written apology to you guys, which you can find here:

Now, while there will be delays, the printer is reprinting these as we speak. I'm getting the tip-ins for signing in the next week, and will have them out the door again within a week. Then they need to be placed, bound, and shipped, and we'll hopefully have them in the warehouse once again.

I am so, so sorry about this bullsh*t. I am genuinely so, so very angry. It's one thing to screw up once. It's another to screw up twice. It's unbelievable to screw up this many times in a row.

I cannot apologize enough, even on the printer's behalf, and we are making sure they keep this as their top priority for corrections until we have the actual correct books in hand. But I wasn't going to send this incorrect copies out to y'all given how much you paid for them.

Thank you for your patience. Now I'm off to go scream into a pillow for a couple of hours.

IMPORTANT FAQ:

• Are you going to continue working with this printer after all these issues?
  • Can't answer this question publicly. But in case I didn't say it enough above... I am NOT happy.
• I don't care about the missing headbands/tailbands. The books look good enough to me, and I want mine now. Can I get them?
  • If you are in the USA, yes (sorry non-US Backers, they printer reclaimed those copes to manually fix them since they were nearby). However, that means you won't be getting the corrected versions later. We can't pay for 8lbs worth of shipping twice, sadly.
    
    If you'd like these books instead of the corrected versions later, you can email us at [email protected] with the Subject "STORMWEAVER EDGE EDITIONS".
• What is the projected timeline for these delays?
  • We don't know yet, but we're hoping they're in our hands in the next 8-10 weeks, and we'd start shipping immediately. That would be record speed, but the printer has every incentive to move at record speed right now.

Addressing the new (potential) tariffs, and shouting out a cool RPG/progression fantasy campaign!

IN REGARDS TO THE POTENTIAL TARIFFS

Hey all, Bryce here. This is a quick one.

As with the last time we went through this situation in 2025, I wanted to let our buyers and Kickstarter Backers who are still awaiting their products know that Wraithmarked Creative will not be instituting any additional fees to cover potential tariff costs. 

At this time, it's unclear if there will be new global tariffs, much less what they'll be if they come into being. Regardless, in the event that they happen, please rest assured there will be no surprise fees put in place to cover those costs if you have already purchased a book from Wraithmarked Creative or are awaiting a product from one of our campaigns. We'll manage the additional cost one way or the other.

Here's to hoping these tariffs don't come to fruition, period.

All the best, and thank you, everyone, for your patience while we've navigated the complexities of publishing in 2025/26.

An Update to Fulfillment - Closing In!
8 months ago – Fri, Feb 06, 2026 at 09:23:45 AM

Hi there everyone!

We wanted to take a sec and inform you guys of a fulfillment update! We had a meeting with the printer earlier in the week and have been informed that the Edge Editions we've all been so patiently waiting for will be on a boat on the 11th! We're hoping with this shipping date, the books will be in our hands by the end of February! 

For US folks, that's approximately 3-4 weeks to travel across the ocean, clear customs, and be transported to our office. Non-US backers can expect those to go out a bit sooner, as they'll reach our shipping partner sooner. In both cases, they'll be inspected, then hand-numbered before shipping. Rest assured, we will be tearing into fulfillment ASAP in order to get them out before the end of March, hopefully sooner! It will be an all-hands-on-deck situation at Wraithmarked, for sure.

Thank you all once again for being here and staying by us these past couple years. We wouldn't be here without you, and we hope you're as excited as we are to FINALLY have these books in hand!
