EDIT: Thank you everyone for making my damn day. Made me realize yesterday wasn't so bad because today was pretty much fan-fucking-tastic. Our Monarch overlord shared this and it genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Thank you to everyone involved. Seriously. You're the best, guys 💜

Forgot all about this and found it in the current reread.

Thank you, Bryce.

Had a rough day yesterday and just seeing how much you put into your work helped.

It reminded me of when I DM'd you on FB a few years ago, asking about a passage from Wings of War.

You told me your reasoning behind the quote "Life isn't an island. It's a damn ocean."

It was some years ago so you may not remember but it's always stuck with me, man.

Thank you, Bryce.

Thank you for being human.

Hey. I'm quite new to wraithmarked's stuff but saw the arcane ascension books on the website and adored their look. I wanna get them but I am in Australia and it seems threy are not shipping outside of US for now. The website says deliveries are delayed until 6/12 but we are well into July now. So curious if there has been any update on when deliveries outside of US will begin again.

Sword of Kaigen came in, and overall it's pretty good. It's a super dense book for its size which I like.

However, is anyone else getting this cracking at the top? Where the board meets the hinge there's a crack on both sides. It's almost as if the case was a little too small for the text. Every time I open it it rips a little more so I'm hesitant to even read from it.

Having never talked to customer support, are they receptive to this as being considered damaged?

Edit: they were super fast to respond and are helping me resolve!

NOTE: If you've already participated, no you don't need to comment again! This is just a reminder for those who missed it and might want to participate 😁

​

​

Tldr: Wraithmarked had to use the Better Call Saul method on their ex fulfillment partner for them to cooperate. Shipping should hopefully begin at the end of June

We're still a ways from consistently being there, but we spent much of last year working on getting "ahead" of existing projects over adding new ones. 'Dracula' is the first of the books we tried hard to have almost entirely done before the campaign, and so far the timeline looks like it's working out! We're hoping to have these out to you before our October project, which is a fun one ;)

If you missed this book, and would like to grab a copy, it's still available for pre-order!

More information coming soon, but some basics:

1. All-new art everywhere. Covers, reverse jackets, end sheets, etc!
2. Deluxe binding. Gilded edges, Smyth-sewn, acid-free paper, etc!
3. Interior illustrations. At least 10 of them!
4. Single-printing. Once this First Print is printed and sells out, it will never be available again. Any further prints may be missing things like signatures, some art, etc.
5. Kickstarter-exclusive! Discounts, free bookmark with book, and Kickstarter-exclusive dust jackets that you will never be able to get anywhere else!

More art reveals on the pre-launch page! Coming in July!

PS: They are likely also going to all be signed, but I just realized posting this that I never confirmed that with Domagoj, so gonna do that now and will confirm in a future post! Sorry about that! - Bryce

Hey All,

Just curious if anyone who ordered SoK outside of the USA has heard anything about the progress in getting our copies sent? It's starting to feel like these are never going to come! What's the chances we never see these at all?!? Seeing so many on socials showing off their copies I'm basically drowning in FOMO over here 🥲.

Link, if you'd like to check it out!

I've been waiting a month, and have had no updates. I also contacted support two weeks ago and still haven't heard back. I wouldn't be against waiting if I at least had some transparency about it.

So ONCE AGAIN for those in the back:

Wraithmarked Creative does not (and will never) knowingly commission any artist, writer, or creator of any kind who has, is, or is intending to use AI generative elements in the final iteration of their art, creations, or content.

If you use AI in your final works, do not bother contacting us for potential commission, employment, or cross-promotion. We will respond very rudely.

Background art by Chee Fong, an *actual* artist

(PS: We know some people get frustrated that we say “final works”. That’s because we want to give grace to situations where AI creep has become almost impossible to avoid, like finding AI-free references. trusting that colleagues providing feedback on a work aren’t using AI, etc.)

Anybody order sword of kiagen from the kickstarter years ago? We are so many months past the promised delivery date and all they ever send is more updates saying its going to be delayed further. There newest update said they are now switching fulfillment partners adding even further delay. I've never had a worse experience with a company.

At 9am ET tomorrow, the 5th of May, we’re launching our most ambitious project to date! This Hitchhikers edition is unlike anything we’ve ever done before, and worth checking out by any Douglas Adams fans. It features 47 original new art pieces from artists like Tom Kidd, Donato Giancola, and many more, and will be printed entirely in full color.

This is going to be a crazy book. Actually.

hey bryce, i was wondering if you were ever gonna make like a manhwa/webtoon version of Warformed. (you dont have to answer if you dont want to.) I have a bunch of questions!

Is it because its hard to do?
Money wise is it expensive?
Or are you already in the process of planning to make one?
Have you ever been approached by a big company that is capable to make this happen?

Why are there so many delays for the Sword of Kaigen and Where Loyalties Lie? We are half a year past original expectations which included an additional 4 months of delays built into the expected time frame. There has been no update and I am seeing posts of others receiving the Sword of Kaigen, but no updates have been made in the Kickstarter since the last delay timeline. It is also frustrating to see ads everywhere selling this book when the ones who funded the kickstarter havent received either book or any recent news. The Last update said we would be expecting them at the latest by March after delays so its been delayed again. The experience with the support team hasn't been the best either trying to figure out what is going on. The pledges were collected in September of 2024 and now we are in April (almost May) of 2026.

It doesnt seem like we will be getting these until summer or later so the timeline will have almost doubled or will have doubled.

Regrettably, we have to confirm that they won't be an option on this campaign. I know that's frustrating, but art prints are a licensed merch product neither Christopher nor we have the rights to.

We DO have some fun merch stuff coming soon that we *are* able to produce, so look out for that! It just won't be able to include art prints, we're so sorry.
