Hi there,
To leverage and adapt existing our macro-financial in the Covid-19 time, we had to think about new tools to create enhanced capability for maintaining our small businesses, and create enhanced capability to refine and implement sustainable financing. Therefore, we had to accept some commercials jobs in order to survive.
Even though it's not easy every day, I'm lucky to have true supporters who push me to continue, despite all the past and actual curses. I don't intend to give up anything, anyhow.
As I told you, we are the next on Denys's schedule and I trust him to work extra hard to complete our project. But before this joyful time, Denys has been asked to make some changes on his scenario in order to launch the pre-production of the film;
so we have to wait a little bit more to tie him to the chair..
Because I want to be fair with everyone I engaged, I also need to complete the extra envelope I've started to pay Denys to lock the 70 pages scenario and to make all the paper props demanded by Matt Sanderson.
For the printed books, Drive-thru RPG is currently working with Lightning Source, a world leader in print-to-order book manufacturing. Lightning Source has facilities in both the USA and the UK which lets them print our book closer to you to keep the freight cost and delivery time to a minimum.
I began the surveys but I can't send them until the scenario is locked and when all is checked with Drive-thru.
I wish everyone will have a wonderful summer ! Hope you don't suffer too much from high temperatures or flods or Covid-variants...
I'm rounding off all the physical props and the technical manual and will defintely think about a few additional do-able reward I could make you for free.
best,
Delphes

Hi everyone !
Denys has already made what was originally ordered for him (30 pages) and had limited availability to finish and complete the whole layout (60 pages+ cards and maps)
He works mostly on weekends, so it's still going slow but the good news is that he will be free for a whole month in APRIL or MAY. So he'll dedicate all this amount of time for our project !
The estimate is 3-4 weeks to finish the scenario which would bring us to the end of MAY-mid JUNE. So, assuming the print proof looks good ( the print proof should take 2-3 weeks ) we should be able to ship at the end of Summer, maybe a bit after depending on whether we get that 4 weeks print time.
At this point, I'm still working on sculptures details and the user guide. When I finish it, I'll upload some pix for you all.
Thank again for your tremendous patience ! We get to see the light at the end of tunnel.

- Dear backers of The Idol of Cthulhu,
First I wish you're all doing fine, sane and safe all along this worldwide pandemic.
Despite all the precautions I had used and social distances I had provided for my pupils and myself, I finally contracted the coronavirus in late October. My symptoms were mostly a huge fatigue and a lack of energy. After three weeks I got better. I recovered fully since then.
Nobody else had symptoms in my family. In addition, I never has been so creative in my life. The couple lockdowns had reinforced my needs of create, a need of sublimation in many ways.
I feel more committed to my art than ever.
Since september I’m back to give several art classes in school, right now which is a healthy thing for my finances even if it slowering down my props production.
Denys is also going very slow in the scenario because, as I explained before, he has to work on it on his free time which is sparce due to the need to survive in a wretched economy. This allows me to draw new stuffs to illustrate the scenario… like this Weird Tale style victim of the creepy beast !
I also had drawn some small "cul-de-lampes" (the strange french word for chapter's ornements which means litteraly "Lamp's Butt") to add some narrative pictures at the ends of pages.
like this one :
Your patience shall be rewarded: the scenario of the Idol of Cthulhu is already more sophisticated than it would have been if we had finished it two years ago.
I know it’s a pain to wait, and I'm sorry you have to wait; I hope it will be worth it !
I wish you all some merry holidays with or without family
(we're considering to celebrate Christmas at Easter this year ;-) )
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
Delphes
