Nodus 02 Update

Hey all,
As some of you may know, when I started working on Dimday Red, over five years now, I aimed it to be my gift to humanity, my raison d'être. I put my everything in to it and invested much more of myself that I ever thought I could.
And although in many ways, it became what I wanted it to be, I fear that it also became my Moby Dick. An ever growing ambition of it being something more than just another story/game.
I always believed, and I still do, that most of the great things people have created through the eons, required some kind of excessive effort or sacrifice, and I willingly offered both.
But I have always been an odd mixture of a dreamer and a pragmatist, and the pragmatist side tells me that I went way over my head, and unless I make peace with my limitations, I will share a similar fate with Captain Ahab…

A year and a half after its promised delivery, Nodus 02 kept getting bigger, after a number of additions and upgrades I made without anyone asking for them. The latest of these is this pouch for all of the people who have Dimday Red Decks in their orders. This delayed the finalization of productions, for about three more weeks, when it was otherwise ready to ship.
My vanity may have stood on one side of all this, but on the other was a gratitude and obligation I felt, to deliver something worthwhile to all of you, who not only believed and supported this project, but you have kept supporting it with your understanding, your patience, and your touching words.
The most important of the additions is the Dimday Red Core, whose physical form I teased in my previous update, and for which I am still working on. It proved to be a massive undertaking, with over 200 interconnected pages, hundreds of illustrations, maps and charts, bringing the whole Dimday Red world, rules and adventures, to your fingertips (literally when viewed on your mobile).
I expect to have it ready by the end of March and it will be available for free to all physical backers of Nodus 02. The physical products, although finished and done, are still on the way, as they must be combined with other shipments so the cost is shared and I can keep my promise for no added costs for delivery. I am told it could take another month or two.

I have accepted by now that due to a variety of choices I made on the way, and life throwing the kitchen sink on my personal life for the past two years, this project will be delivered even later than I ever thought it would. But also, if I know one thing is that it will be delivered even if it is the last thing I do!
I know in my heart that those of you who stick with it, will be overly rewarded with what you will receive. You will also be forever special for me personally and for the Dimday Red project in general. As such, you will keep having access to Dimday Red stuff like the Core and the VTT, which will be sold separately for others.
Still, if you don’t want to be part of this Odyssey of mine anymore, I understand and respect it. Please PM me and we’ll figure something out.

In any case, I want to thank all of you once more. Even being here, reading my rants once in a while means a lot :)
Cheers,
Spiros

Hey all,
At a previous update I debated if it would be a good thing to show you what's coming towards you, or if it would be better to keep the surprise element! As many of you, I would prefer the later.
Still, the delivery for the bulk of the production have been going much slower than I have hoped. The main reason is that I am trying to keep costs down for all of us. To make a long story short, things are moving, but they are moving slow. I expect the shipment to reach Greece in about a month.
So, because I fear that some of you may think that this will end up being a scam, and you'll never get your stuff, I had a few pieces delivered express, so I can show you that the product is real, ready, really cool and will be eventually coming!
For your eyes only, here the official first Nodus 02 unboxing of the real thing!
Now, this would be an ok-to-meh update if that was all! But it's not! What I am really excited to share is what you see at 01:35 in the video.
The Core
The Core is something that wasn't supposed to be delivered with this campaign! It is the result of the past two years of work and it is the actual Core Rulebook for the Dimday TTRPG. It is created in the form of a pay-to-access wiki-styled website, so one can get all the rules, lore and assets for the game, through their PC or mobile at any time. It's content is the equivalent of a 250 page book.
What you see in the video is the physical Core, in the form of a golden artifact, an actual in-DdR-world object! (Disclaimer: please note it is not real gold :)). You use a code embedded on the artifact to access the online rulebook and exclusive perks.
So, as a tangible thank you for your patience all this time, all backers of the Collectors Edition will get the Core artifact for free with their order, and all other physical backers will get free access to the Core website. This will add 30€ (digital) to 50€ (physical) of value to your order (and something cool to own and show around)!
The online Core Rulebook is in its final stage of development so stay tuned! As always feel free to reach out and get in touch at any time!
Cheers,
Spiros
Nodus 02 Ready to Ship!

Hey all,
I am happy to report the project is finally coming out of production! As usual, I couldn't help myself, so I added two more custom-designed, physical perks which are intended to complete the DdR experience for this stage, and I am sure you will appreciate 🙂
The perks, which I won't disclose and spoil your excitement (one of them is metallic 😁), will be available (at no extra cost) for people who backed either one of the physical Editions (Legacy, Luminary, or Collectors), or have added the Tenets and/or Moribus decks to their order.
The Backerkit pre-order page will be open until the end of this week (Sunday 28th) in case you want to upgrade your order and have extra cool stuff to find when you open your order!

After that, I will close the pre-order page and charge for postage so things can start moving towards you. I will have everything delivered from China to Greece, and then send orders personally from here.
This way I can make sure that all deliveries are checked and as intended, and the US orders won't be burdened with extra taxes caused by the new tariffs.
I am very excited we finally reached this point, I thank you once more for your support and I hope the end result will reward your faith in me and this project ❤
Cheers,
Spiros

Hey all, I wish your summer was (or even better still is) as you needed it to be!
To compensate for its impending end, I bring you good news! The Nodus 02 campaign is eventually out of my hands and in production. That means I practically can’t delay it any more by adding stuff and/or trying to make it perfect :)
Because by now, and understandably, some people will only believe there will be a physical production when they see it with their own eyes, I send you a couple of pictures from the process. I promise this is not AI :D
NOTE: The Kickstarter editor decided to take about 2 hours from my life, refusing to upload the production images I wanted to share. I order to keep what is left of my sanity and not delay this update any more, I uploaded them on Instagram, so you can check them there.
The production is set to take about a month. In the meantime, I am in the process of finalizing postage and exploring the best options to deal with the US portion of the fulfillment, without adding any costs for the tariffs. This proves easier said than done though, as the US administration keeps changing the deals every so often. But as promised I will find a way!
Once more thank you for your patience. I have received a considerable amount of pure-hearted support from many of you through this whole thing and this has kept me going in more ways than I thought possible.
As always, feel free to get in touch with me at any point, here, in Discord or anywhere else you find me!
Cheers,
Spiros
Dimday Red at UKGE this weekend AND a cool update!

Hey all,
It's been a while since I had something tangible to report, so it is a great pleasure to announce that the final production mockups are done and on their way to me. I will hopefully have them by the end of this week at UKGE. Those of you who will attend, please come and find me at Hall 3, Booth T50.
Now, I have a video of the Collectors box, which came out beyond my expectations! Still, I am a bit conflicted of showing it to you at this point. On one hand, I want you to see that the production process has started and it is of high standards as promised. On the other hand I don't want to spoil the unboxing surprise for you! I am the type of guy who doesn't want to see any kind of trailer before seeing the movie, so I am all about discovering stuff on the way!
Please let me know on the comments below, which you'd prefer! We will go with what the majority decides, even if it is only a couple of you :) In the meantime, here is a still of the back side of the box for good measure!
Hope to see at least some of you this weekend. Stay tuned for more coming soon!
Cheers,
Spiros
