Schedule for Copperwealth Launch
Beyond the pilot episode, the next major milestone in the series is the launch of Volume I.

About The Copperwealth Audio Series: The Copperwealth audio series is a serialized graphic novel in audio form. Copperwealth is dark and gritty but it has heart. Copperwealth follows the story of three criminal operations as they carry out large-scale, nefarious schemes. Their plans are fated to collide, leading to disastrous results for everyone.

CQ StoryHammer Further Stalled
Copperwealth has continued to eat up all of Cryptiquest's time in July. This puts CQ StoryHammer behind schedule by two months. CQ StoryHammer is still a central brand for Cryptiquest and changes are being instituted in order to mitigate further delays. Specifically, Cryptiquest, LLC is searching for business partners to alleviate some of the labor from the shoulders of sole member, Luke Reynolds. One role has been appointed, Editor in Chief (which should help starting in August), and two roles are still currently available: Content Creator and Administrative Manager. A person filling either one of these roles would increase weekly productivity by 10% while vastly improving the quality of the duties within that role.
About the CQ StoryHammer Crafting System: The CQ StoryHammer role-playing game system is a core set of game mechanics and crafting tools for table-top role-playing games. Learn more at the CQ StoryHammer website.
