    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.

Secrets of a Royal Guard Hardcover Now Available! · 6:03pm Feb 16th, 2019

Hello pony friends!

The long promised Secrets of a Royal Guard Hardcover is now available. Please note you have two options by which to get it. One is limited, the other is at your own pace.

Personalized Hardcover(s)

I know for some people it isn't just about the book, it is about the service. As such, for a limited time, you will be able to purchase any Quill n Blade Hardcover via the website, have it shipped to us, and we'll personalize it for you. Additionally, you will find our other hobby projects, such as our Havok & Hijinks card game for sale there too. We're giving a huge discount for anything purchased during the book run.

Please note that we will only be taking orders until March 1st. After that, the page will be closed, everything will be ordered, and we're done until the next hardcover release. This route will be more expensive due to double shipping.

Patrons, to get your discount you MUST purchase through the website with a linked account. If you have any questions or issues please reach out to Crystal

Quill n Blade Order System

Just The Book Please

You can order the hardcover and have it shipped to you directly straight from Lulu. These will not be personalized and are available at all times.

Secrets of a Royal Guard on Lulu

This is a not-for-profit book release. All books are being sold at cost.

well, going to order the book anyway, just need to decide signed or unsigned, don't go for the discount anyway.
the only strange part is on LULU, "Only ships from North America"

Is there any way to add just a slight hint of nuance to my order? I appreciate the story and I get that someone my age isn't the target demographic for your stories, but it'd be nice to get a signature that's a tad more suitable for a 22 year old.

p.s. I already bought and ordered it so either way I'm satisfied :twilightsmile:

That's because (I'm pretty sure that) Lulu only has one printing plant for (this size of) hardcover, and that's in North America. All my other Lulu hardcovers (amongst which iisaw's books) have come from there as well. I think it's better these days, but a few years back that meant Europeans got these fun things where the book itself cost EUR 20, plus an additional EUR 20 for *just* the cheapest shipping. If you don't mind waiting, just check their facebook. They usually rotate discount codes every three days, and at least once a month a free shipping one should come along.

(full disclosure: I'm not buying this one as I tried reading them a while ago and it's just not my thing, but it's always good to see that there are also limited print runs besides the 'regular' Lulu versions!)
EDIT: huh, but apparently I do have one faved, not sure why I stopped reading the others then, but it might have just been "To-Read List Overflow"

Guess I got in before the lock. The order page was still up, I only remembered because I saw someone else talking about it on a Discord. Mind, when I got the Invoice it said the due date was yesterday....Hopefully it's still valid?

I also added the Havoc game, expansion, and hardcover.

BTW: I had to re-register on the site? I had made an account some time ago to order something else, but I was 'user not found' when trying to log in with the e-mail I used back then.

Will blog posts be added on here about any updates? Or will it all be posted on the website?
