Celebrating our fourth year of putting the grind back into the Grindhouse, Planet X Games is bringing you The Phylactery Omnibus - a thick, overstuffed 6" x 9" hardbound collection of our first four zines (The Phylactery 1-4). This volume includes an additional 50+ pages of ALL NEW, never before seen content, along with creator interviews, a cover gallery, bonus art and a sketchbook that takes a look at the evolution of the zine since its inception. The content of The Phylactery zines is ALL OSR, ALL THE TIME – completely compatible with clones, retro clones and spawn-vat simulacra from early editions of the world’s most popular fantasy RPG. This big ole' boy is perfect for the "plug-n-play, straight from the page to the table" function that the original issues are known for.
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
Hello everyone!
Shipping for The Phylactery 4 and The Phylactery Omnibus begins this week. Everything has been received at the Flying Cloud warehouse and I have confirmation that physical copies and add-ons will be going out to backers this week.
For those of you who may not be caught up on all your updates, remember that you can still download your PDF copies at the links provided in previous updates. If anyone has difficulty accessing your links, please reach out to me at [email protected] and I will take care of you personally.
Thank you to everyone that has supported this project. The books came out looking great and they are PACKED with content. Planet X Games would not exist without the generosity and loyal, continued support of folks like you. In these crazy and uncertain times (*cough* OGL *cough*) that means the world to us.

Another quick update everyone!
Both The Phylactery 4 and The Phylactery Omnibus have arrived at The Flying Cloud warehouse here in Baltimore. I will be going by for a quality control check on Thursday just to make sure all is good to go and then we'll start the process of getting these bad boys out to you.
Thanks again for taking this trip with us. You guys are the absolute best.
-Levi, Planet X
Hello everyone! I wanted to send out a quick holiday update even though there isn't much to add to last month's post.
I'm still waiting on Mixam to fulfill their end of this whole process. I paid them more than a month ago yet their latest email to me states that the books will not ship until the first week of January. I'm crossing my fingers that more "internal issues" don't pop up to further delay getting this book into your hands.
That's really all that's happening right now. Literally just waiting on Mixam. I know its frustrating that you don't have your book(s) yet but I can assure you that I will be taking different measures (and different printers) with my next hardback books. I know we are just a small publisher, but this has been unacceptable to us on a professional level... and unfair to you guys as faithful backers of this project.
As soon as I have confirmation that the books have shipped you guys will be the first to know. Fingers crossed for the first week of January 2023!
Happy holidays everyone!

Hello everyone!
No sooner did I put out yesterday's update happily touting the printer's assurances of a delivery on December 8th that I received this new message from Lindsay at Mixam:

Hi Levi, I hope you're doing well. Our production team has reached out to us regarding this order. Unfortunately, due to an internal issue within our system, there will be a delay on this order. At this time, they anticipate it will likely not be able to ship until after the holidays. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. Would you still like to proceed with this order? If so, we're happy to provide you with more information regarding the estimated ship date. Apologies again for the delay. Kind regards.
Lindsay, Mixam
So there you have it. My apologies to everyone who was hoping to have their books on time but it looks like there's an "internal issue". I don't know what that amounts to, but here we are. All I can do is wait these extra three weeks (at least) for the books to ship and keep my eyes on the ole inbox.
I will keep you guys up to date as I get new information. Apologies again, on behalf of myself and Planet X.
