- The Book of Lies
In Production:
- 5-Panel GM Screen
- Map of the Abyss
- Adventure Pamphlets
Ready for Production:
- Slipcase (we are working with the printer to determine if we need to increase the board thickness to better protect against damages during shipping, but should start printing next week)

Book cover sneak peek!

I knew when I designed the covers for Book of Lies and Abyss of Hallucinations that it would be fairly demanding for foil stamping. There were some concerns from the printer about their ability to pull it off, but we decided to go ahead and have them set up the stamps, make a couple of covers, and send them over to see how they turned out.
And they turned out phenomenal! I've done a bit of foil stamping when I was doing more bookbinding, so I had a pretty good sense of how the foil would handle, also knowing it wouldn't be perfect. One of the things I love about this is that if you really dig in and scan closely, you can find subtle distortions, odd marks, and slight shifts in registration, but all of it is so well done. This captures that bit of wabi sabi that I love, while still looking intentional with an eye for detail.
So, I am absolutely in love with how the covers turned out. Here's a video:
Now that the fun stuff is covered, here's our updated production status!
Already at warehouses and ready for fulfillment:
Babalon Sticker
Original Soundtrack for Abyss of Hallucinations by Cthulugans (Cassette)
Babalon T-Shirts
Screen-printed zine boxes
Files are ready, queued for production to start:
The Book of Lies
Abyss of Hallucinations Collected Edition
Adventure Pamphlets
Waiting for final proofs/samples from Printer:
5-Panel GM Screen - We're currently in discussions with the printers to determine the best method for applying the metallic gold effect on top of full-color printing.
Map of the Abyss
Coin of Wheel and Woa! - The coin itself is perfect, but the embroidery on the sample bag was off-center, which the manufacturer is correcting now.
Abyss of Hallucinations, Vol. 3 Zine - Specs confirmed and files delivered to printer
Players Guide to the Abyss - Specs confirmed and files delivered to printer.
Slipcase - This wasn't included last time because we were waiting for the final measurements of the spine thickness from the printer! That measurement is dependent on the final thicknesses of the materials to be contained.
Thanks!

December 2025 - Manufacturing Update
5 months ago
– Tue, Dec 23, 2025 at 03:58:50 PM
Hello everyone!
As we wrap up 2025, we've also been wrapping up the last few issues that needed to be addressed before we could get the printers started!
- The typeface issue has been resolved.
- The color matching all of the various shades of black has been resolved.
- The typos and hyphenations issues have been resolved.
- The printer also changed how they would like the foldout pages set up. This required a bit of a hack on our end, but we got it there. Also resolved!
All revised files were resubmitted to the printer last week and we are now just waiting to receive the proofs for us to do a final review before we're able to start the presses.
Once printing has begun, the actually manufacturing process usually takes 4-6 weeks, followed by the shipping time to get the various items from the manufacturers to our warehouses. This often takes a similar amount of time to the actual manufacturing, but there are so many things that could impact shipping time that we never try to speculate on that ahead of time.
But once all the items arrive in port, get through customs, and are transported and checked in at our warehouses, fulfillment will begin! So please make sure that all your information is up to date (shipping addresses, CC info, etc) in the backerkit pledgemanager to prevent any unnecessary delays in getting your rewards! We will notify everyone on the next update about a timeline when addresses will be locking.
Thanks for your support and patience this year!

Reviewing screen proofs, fixing shit, and remembering how much I love this

IT has been a long while since I last wrote to you. I hope you are doing well and have found time to stare into the field of night. This update will be short, but know that I have much longer adulations trembling inside my dark soul when I mull over the swell of gratitude produced by your support for this strange emanation we call Abyss of Hallucinations.
We received screen proofs for the core book. I had very much hoped that this would yield no issues, and I would just give the thumbs up and keep things rolling. Unfortunately, we did find a couple of items to work out. Thank the Mother of Abominations that it was just one typo, a missing hyphen, one color mismatch, and a typeface issue. All minor, all quick. No candles to burn, no sacrifices to be made. Merely a rubbing of the pentacle.
I expect we will be able to get this all cleared up very soon and back over to production.
One of the best parts of reviewing the screen proof has been that every damn time I look through this book, I am reminded of how much I love it.
Things are moving. The earth is quaking.
By Night,
Max Moon
