Hello there everyone!
Hopefully you all had a great week and are excited for the weekend ahead! We have some exciting news for you folks today! We wanted to let you know it's been a busy month indeed - the books have finished printing and should be arriving in port this upcoming week! From there, it'll be another week or two before we get them in.
We want to confirm they made it safe and sound before locking addresses and the like. Regardless, we'll update you all when we have them in-hand!
THE ULTIMATE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY OMNIBUS
This one seemed like something a lot of you guys might like to be aware of!
On May 5th, Wraithmarked will be releasing what we believe could be considered the most ambitious omnibus edition of Douglas Adam's THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY series ever produced.
As in not only is it a full-color book, but it's going to include 42 full-color illustrations. And that's JUST the interior art. So add in the Smyth-sewn binding. And acid-free paper. And custom covers. And end sheets. And cloth wrapping. And... Well... You get the picture.
There's more detail and a LOT more art revealed on the pre-launch page, so take a look if it interests any of you guys! As always, this will be a single-print run with campaign exclusive discounts, so Kickstarter is the only place you can guarantee your copy and get it at a discount!
Addressing the new (potential) tariffs, and shouting out a cool RPG/progression fantasy campaign!

IN REGARDS TO THE POTENTIAL TARIFFS
Hey all, Bryce here. This is a quick one.
As with the last time we went through this situation in 2025, I wanted to let our buyers and Kickstarter Backers who are still awaiting their products know that Wraithmarked Creative will not be instituting any additional fees to cover potential tariff costs.
At this time, it's unclear if there will be new global tariffs, much less what they'll be if they come into being. Regardless, in the event that they happen, please rest assured there will be no surprise fees put in place to cover those costs if you have already purchased a book from Wraithmarked Creative or are awaiting a product from one of our campaigns. We'll manage the additional cost one way or the other.
Here's to hoping these tariffs don't come to fruition, period.
All the best, and thank you, everyone, for your patience while we've navigated the complexities of publishing in 2025/26.
Bryce O'Connor, CEO
AN RPG CAMPAIGN WORTH CHECKING OUT!
Ascended is a mobile, fantasy-themed, RPG fitness app where exercise drives progression! Players interact with a case of characters as they complete story-driven missions, and progress is measured by earning XP, leveling up, earning gear for their avatar, as well as teaming with with other users to defend Arcadia!
Lots more details on their actual campaign page! Created by author Clay Harmon and his wife Meghan, it's very clearly had a lot of thought and love put into it, and is worth taking a peek at!
(And no, they didn't ask for the shoutout! We just think it's a really cool idea worth checking out, especially by progression fantasy and LitRPG/progression fantasy lovers!
Fulfillment Update! And... a Wraithmarked Update!

Hey there folks!
Hope your week is treating you right! We wanted to take a moment and let you all know the latest in terms of production, shipping, and fulfillment. As per this week, our printer has let us know that The Choice of Magic will be finishing printing by end of February. With this in mind, packing and shipping to us and our international fulfillment partner will likely be in the following week or two (fingers crossed, as always)! Once that happens, we'll be sure to let y'all know!
Typically, we like to show you guys behind the scenes goings on when it comes to book production such as quote requests, a look at the interior art and merch goodies offered during the campaign, maybe even an author signing - that kind of stuff! However, when we can, we also like to let you folks know that we are still a small, independent company with a handful of dedicated employees wanting to make waves in the publishing world. We've come a long way from when we ran our very first campaign, which brings us to today...
We are officially moving into our first warehouse! No more garages or storage units! WOOHOO!
This may not be the most exciting news for some, but for us, it was a looong time coming. We are so excited to begin this new journey in a new location, and we've already started moving our things over! We now have a loading dock! (Like I said, very exciting for us)
That being said, during this process, our support and responses will be a little longer than normal as it's all-hands-on-deck for the move. We're anticipating things to return to normal later next week, but keep in mind, we may have a slight backlog to get through. If you have questions at any point in this process, check out the campaign FAQs and if you need additional help, please send an email to [email protected].
See you in the next one!

Hi all!
We hope your 2026 is off to a great start - it has been for us! Just a few days ago, we received the proof copies of the books and they look absolutely stunning. We've sent our feedback over to the printer and expect the full print run to start shortly!
In the meantime, take a look!
A Special THANK YOU! And... Campaign Check In!

Hi there folks!
Firstly, apologies for the copy/paste nature to this part of the update as we have lots of campaigns to touch on! We just wanted to update everyone and say...
THANK YOU FOR COMING BY OUR BOOTH AND SAYING HELLO. <3
Dragonsteel Nexus was a wonderful experience for all of us - this was our first time vending at this convention and we had no idea what to expect. I think I speak for the whole Wraithmarked crew when I say we were all blown away by the support and love y'all shared with us. We had so many of you come by, tell us where you heard of us from, what campaigns you backed, what you were looking forward to, and lots of folks who had no idea we were gonna be there! We saw some new faces (hello if you late pledged to this campaign!) and chatted with any and everyone. The whole trip was a blast!
Thank you again for making our first Dragonsteel Nexus the best convention we've ever been to!
The Wraithmarked booth! Still setting up, but lookin good!

Eira signing a copy of her book 'Run Like Hell' for a fan, me chatting (dissociating), and the true hero of the convention: the white sugar-free can in the bottom of the picture. The true savior of Dragonsteel!
Now for a campaign check-in...
Super exciting news folks! We just received word over the weekend that the proof copies have officially finished printing!! We are SO excited and we will absolutely be posting an update with pictures for you guys. Long time coming, but they'll be worth the wait!
Currently, they're scheduled to be sent from the printers later this week. From there, they'll be packed on a ship and sent our way! Thanks so much for stickin' around, everyone! If we don't chat before the end of the year, we hope you're all well, safe, and enjoy this time spent with family and loved ones (or with the company of pets for the fellow introverts, here)!
