Today was the day! The full shipment of WarGods of Olympus books has arrived! The call went out... "Crocs Assemble!" and a band of us gathered to pack them for shipment!
The first 116 books have been packed, as well as 4 cases of books for game stores, and all these are shipping on Monday morning. We have lots more to go, but the process has begun, and we'll be packing and shipping more all week.
A big 'thank you' to the impromptu weekend packing team, including Christopher Farnsley, Brain Roe, Jordan Fisher, and of course Fitz & Felicity!
And last, here are a few pictures we took of the weekend events:
Three of five pallets of books!
Fitz hauls in the last of the pallets (at least this one was a small one!)
The packing team arrives (Felicity, Fitz, Jordan, Brian, and Farnz), and each poses with their favorite page of the book! #GeekFamous
Time to get to work - Felicity starts making labels!
The packing line gets cracking!
Jordan takes a moment to admire the luxury of "rich, Corinthian leather!"
Please do not distract Brian while he is working the chopper!
Fitz adds the newly-trimmed Command Counters!
Felicity loves this part - the final boxing of the books!
The day's progress - books packed for backers, ready for shipping!
That's all for now - thanks to everyone for their support and patience!
The Croc Team
Happy New Year! We have some exciting news on the Olympus rulebook... the print proofs have arrived! Print proofs are sample prints from the printer, to fine-tune the final product and ensure the final product will be correct. We look these over, make any corrections that are necessary, and then approve them for the final run.
Check out the pics below:
Cover wet proof
Two Titans help show off the 'wet proof' of the cover, an image printed on the actual press that will do the final run. This one came out a bit dark, so we have submitted a correction for the final print - we should be getting a new (and hopefully final) 'wet proof' of the cover in a few days.
Interior proof pages!
Above, a closeup of a stacke of the interior laser-proofs.
All of the page signatures stacked up!
A look inside at a couple of the interior signatures
Above are the 'ozalid' proofs of the interior pages - these are not printed on the final press, so they look very dark - but are used to show how the signatures/pages are arranged.
Next up are some pics of the 'dummy', a bound but blank example of the book using the same materials as our final print:
Bound book end
Above is an example of the bound book, on top of the Aegyptus hardcover. It is printed with the same thickness of paper, so as you can see it is a little thinker due to the 56 additional pages.

Also shown is the purple head/tail band, chosen to match the color of the WarGods logo, and provide an attractive finish to the binding:
Head/tail bands
The proof revisions should be happening in a few days, we'll post a new update when they arrive.
Thanks to everyone for their support, and we hope you are off to a great new year!
