Hello Explorers, I'm Luca and I hope you're all well, because the dragons are out there waiting to be found thanks to your maps and explorations!
How is the project progressing?
The body text is concluded and finished, ready to be played!
However, we had a heavy slowdown on some artworks which forced us to slow down the roadmap, but we are back on track and we will have all the artworks by mid-June 2023. We will use this time to make a further refinement of the corebook and, by calculating the graphic layout work and a final revision, we will objectively be able to finish the digital corebook by mid-July 2023.
At that point we will send to all of you the digital copies so that you can play it right away and we will start the printing work with our printers in the EU and in the USA. Since August is a complex month, we estimate that by September we will have all the hardcover corebooks and all the backers that need to receive the hardcover corebooks and the other physical goodies will receive everything by the end of September 2023 at the latest.
The times could also shorten, depending on how these last steps evolve, but since I haven't updated you for a while, it seemed right to give you an estimate timing as objective as possible. Even if this small extension of a few months is boring, I assure you that it will help us improve the product and offer you a super-revised body text, lovely artworks and a tremendous layout!
I thank all of you for your patience and trust, and I'm here for every need or question!
Ah, and there is a little sneak peek for you: the study of the young Celeste, one of the characters you'll find in the setting of the corebook, made by our amazing artist Alida Pintus! :)
Get ready to find the dragon, explorers! Lots of love from me and all the team of Must be a Dragon!

Irene's Sketches by Alida Pintus
Hello explorers!
It's been a while since our last update: it's been intense months of work, creation, refinement of our dear Must be a Dragon corebook. As you can imagine, the creation of a complex book such as an RPG corebook requires the synergy of different figures, and the drafting of the textual content is only the beginning of the adventure. So, I'm here to keep you up to date on the working flow, and make you a little aware, as you always were during the campaign, of everything behind this amazing corebook! :)
Texts, rules and stories. The texts of the corebook is complete, playtested and ready to be played. This part of the work, thanks to the creativity of Andrea Carbone and our collaborators, can be considered completed, with the exception of a few small adjustments here and there.
First mockup of inlay pages
Layout design. As soon as she read 'Must Be a Dragon', our graphic designer Giovanna immediately imagined it as you have seen it in some mockup: made of torn paper, letters, slightly crooked sheets as if they had been detached from a journal and placed there. So the vision of what the corebook design will look like was very clear and became even better defined with the addition of the illustrations. Obviously the layout process is long and meticulous, it takes precision and a bit of obsession. All qualities possessed by our graphic designer:)
Napoleon says 'Hi'
That's all, my dear adventurers. I promise to keep you updated and post here some previews as soon as possible.
Lots of love from me and all the team of Must be a Dragon!

Dear explorers, I'm Luca, how are you? We started the work on the Must Be a Dragon project and we have some new updates!
Andrea loves you! 🎁
Although the Stretch Goal 'The appendix to play Must Be a Dragon with other settings' has not been unlocked, the author Andrea Carbone decided to include anyway this appendix in the corebook because it can give you new ideas to play and have fun and because you deserve it! So you'll find this mini-chapter in your copy of Must Be a Dragon!

Backerkit!
Did you miss the Kickstarter campaign? A friend of yours would like to get the corebook and the various goodies but didn't make it in time? Don't worry! We launched the Backerkit campaign!
The backers of Backerkit will not find the pledges of Kickstarter and they can only purchase the products individually but their name will be inserted in the backers page of corebook, they will get the PDF as soon as it is ready, exactly like the kickstarter backers, and they will be able to write to us for opinions, comments and feedback during this 'creative' period.
Facebook Group and Discord! 👾
Do you use Facebook or Discord to interact with the communities of your favorite games? In our case you can do it both ways!
We are all there waiting for you, reach us and say hello!

Dear Explorer
That's me, Luca, here to share to you some fresh material about our beloved 'Must be a Dragon' rpg.
We’ve got a lot of arts, drafts, studies for the characters and settings. They’re so beautiful that we are happy to post them, even if they’re not finished or maybe the character shifted in another direction.
One of them is the studio for Irene, our fierce heroine. There were more than one version of her, and even if we love her corebook features, we appreciate the beautiful work that is behind her.
Here you can see a lot of Irenes, every one of them seems to be part of a different story, inspires our imagination and takes us to a different journey towards the mysterious dragon.
Thanks to our talented Alida Puntus (check the #4 Update to know more about her)!
If you love this project as we do share the word to make this come true!
