Simple by design
The preorder path is intentionally simple: choose the core book, or choose the implementation bundle with the complete Field Manual Pack.
Individual Field Manuals are planned for later release and are not sold separately during preorder.
Shipping is charged at checkout for physical preorder items.
How preorder fulfillment works
Preorders are processed through secure checkout. Your preorder is recorded after payment confirmation. Physical books and paperback Field Manual sets will ship after final production files are complete and print fulfillment is ready. Digital Field Manuals will be delivered when the digital pack is ready for release.
Estimated fulfillment timing will be confirmed before public launch.
