    Trials of a Royal Guard Physical Print

    Hello everyone!

    It has been quite some time since anyone has heard from Crystal and me. I wanted to briefly interrupt the silence let those fans left know that they will soon be able to complete their 'Royal Guard Trilogy' physical collection.

    Secrets Hardcovers Wave 2 Update

    Hi all!

    We have the hard covers here at the house. Due to some unexpected work travel I haven't had the chance to get to them. Crystal and I are going to clear some time out tonight to get them signed and packaged. I hope to actually have them out the door tomorrow or Monday.

    Thank you for your patience!

    Cleaning out the game room: Free/PWYW Items

    Pony pals

    I am cleaning up my game room and that is producing a lot of items that we simply don't play. Old, new, never opened, etc. The point is, they need to go and I'm not looking to recoup much money on this.

Live Event Announcements · 10:30pm Feb 6th, 2016

Thank you to everyone that came out to the Quill & Blade Live Event today. We had a blast and, without a doubt, had the most questions ever!

We also had a ton of announcements so I thought I'd sum them up for you here.

Memoirs of a Royal Guard 2nd Edition

The release of the printed copy of the book is imminent. We're going to have the editing and cover finished by the end of February. As such, that has put a deadline on book preorders. If you'd like a copy of the book you must make your deposit by February 20th. That will lock in the final price and we will then invoice everyone for the difference based on exact shipping to their location. No books will be able to be acquired after this.

There is virtually no chance of a second print run, I won't be able to take orders after the deadline (it would mess up the price per book and be unfair to the others), and it would delay production. We plan to order in March so I must have all invoices paid by March 6th.

If you want a book, this is it! If you absolutely, positively would die if you miss your chance to get one, reach out to me and I'll do my best to work something out with you.

Estimate of book cost shipped to you in the USD is $38.40. For EU it is roughly $50.89. I expect these costs to go down a little but I can't promise it for sure. The Numbers

Primary Order (US): Memoirs of a Royal Guard 2nd Edition
Backup Paypal (much higher fees) (All Others): Donate@quillnblade.com

2016 Cameo Call 1

The time is coming up again for you to enter your OCs to Quill & Blade to potentially have them appear in a story. We've made significant changes to how this will work. There will be more details with the official announcement but here is the short:

1. Six winners instead of four.
2. More curated entries.

Release Dates

Trials of a Royal Guard Release - February 29th
Crystal's Hopes Release - In February prior to Trials

Scenes of the Quarter 2016

For Q1 the winner is Soarin, Azurite, and Pink Pony playing cards. Expect this in Q2.

Vacation

Crystal and I will be on an anniversary trip from February 12th through the 18th. There will be no updates* from us during that time.

*The previously written and planned for Valentine's day first chapter of Lovey Dovey will release.

Thank you all! Glad to have had you out.

Looking forward to that invoice there

I keep finding friend-related activities to do at the time of your broadcasts... :raritydespair:

3737768 Well, basically Anzel started reading out questions and answering them until I set up Rossby to hijack the Q&A. That's pretty much all that happened. So yeah.

The release of the printed copy of the book is imminent.

Hold the fuck up! Why was I not aware of this sooner? This must be rectified post-haste!

So, if I want to order this and I live in Canada, do I need to use the US link, or do I need to go through the donation bit?

3745642 For Canada I would recommend the paypal link.

How will you be contacting people who ordered books? (I missed the session and am just wondering :twilightblush: ).

3752797 Two step process:

Step One: You fill out a form on Quillnblade.com with your information.
Step Two: We send out a personalized invoice.
