Project Update: Shipping and Fulfillment Updates

Hello, everyone! I have some updates for you on the Wages of Sin campaign!

First, the final PDFs are available to download now! If you have not received the PDFs on your pledge manager, please send us an email at [email protected]. We have had some feedback regarding the readability of pages 24 and 25 in the PDFs. I wanted to let you know that I have sent your comments along to the design team. 

We also had some folks ask for more details on shipping. I checked with the team for more precise information. First, folks in the United States will have their orders filled by Quartermaster Logistics (QML). As of today, QML is working on getting stock cleared through customs and then will be working on fulfillment! 

For folks based in Europe and the UK, your fulfillment will be done by Publisher Technology Solutions (PTS). Fulfillment for Europe and the UK has begun!

QML will be working with fulfillment companies in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Africa, South America, and all other locations to send orders to each region’s specific fulfillment hub. It will likely take a month for the fulfillment hubs in those areas to get the books. Aetherworks will be overseeing final fulfillment in Australia and New Zealand, while VFI will oversee fulfillment in Asia and other Pacific areas. 

On June 19th, the fulfillment companies sent out final address checks for backers. If you did not get your final address check and you need to make changes, please email [email protected] if you are in a QML-serviced area or use this contact form if you are in a PTS-serviced area. 

Shipping should have been charged by now. We were also made aware of a shipping notification error. Folks who only received supply pods or only ordered PDFs received shipping payment notifications. Those were sent in error and folks should not have been charged. If you did receive a charge in error, please send us an email at [email protected] 

Additionally, some of you probably have cards that are outdated, which we attempted to charge but the charge did not go through. You’ll receive a notification from Backerkit if this concerns you, but please get your payment information updated as quickly as possible. We are starting fulfillment, and we don’t want you to get left out. As always, contact us at [email protected] if you have an issue.

Last, Supply Pods will also be shipped with fulfillment!

We appreciate your patience greatly. We are so excited to get the books into your hands. I will be providing more updates as I have more information. If you have any questions or problems, please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected]. As always, thanks for reading and supporting TKG!

Project Update: PK49 - Q2 2026 Update


Backers,

Brief update.

I'm sorry for my absence and delay in this project. For those that may not have seen me post about this elsewhere, I suffered a protracted family tragedy (CW: Pet Stuff, Cancer). As I'm sure you can understand, the time leading up to this point was difficult and riddled with periods where I was unable to work.

As a result, I'm behind on the next steps for PK49. In another, forthcoming update, I'll have a revised timeline, updated Backer Preview Version, and will start on getting surveys out.

My sincerest apologies, again. I'll have another update for you all shortly. Thank you all for the support and even more so for your patience.

Project Update: June Update

Hi all,

While large parts of the pre-production copy (PPC) delivered to Jordan in May looked great, there were some issues we felt must be addressed in order to provide you with a high-quality final book.

I know it’s discouraging to read about yet another delay. I’ll cover some of the details of these fixes closer to the bottom of this update in the interest of transparency.

We’ve been working with our printer to nail down the exact margin and binding requirements. Over the course of this conversation, our printer offered to provide a free second PPC to demonstrate how our concerns could be addressed and the output improved, and to help ensure we’ve corrected all issues.

Production of the second PPC is in progress, and we expect it in hand in the second week of July. Due to Jordan currently moving halfway across the US, I’ll be receiving it for review.

What happens after the extended review pre-production copy arrives? If the issues are resolved, and no new ones are introduced, it’s print time. We’ll be able to line up the shipping & fulfillment plan with the print run ETA, and start talking about when these books start their journey to you.

Again, thanks for sticking with us. I’m feeling more confident about this ER PPC based on the printer’s close guidance and Jordan’s myriad fixes. Below are some of the fixes I was alluding to above, with screenshots of the Initial digital proof, photo from the PPC, and the Fixed version in a new digital proof. Over June, he’s been making a few dozen fixes, including:

  • Adjusting ink levels to brighten a number of spreads throughout that were too dark in print.
  • Fixing issues where some background textures and images reduced readability by bleeding through the text. Blend modes with dark backgrounds didn’t do us any favors in some of these cases.
  • Redesigning our black page border “ribbons” to fit within the new margins from our printer. These should hit right at the page-edges to make flipping between sections easier, but due to a series of miscommunications, the first PPC failed to achieve this.
  • Reworking some thin border elements that would emphasize any variation in the trimming. Sub-milimeter variance is noticeable.
  • Correcting the color of some art pieces that had ink mixes which look significantly different between digital and print. 
  • Correcting a few more errant typos and not-quite-aligned elements.

Overprinting resulted in distracting blue bands in the dark background

Too much ink caused some loss of contrast, as well as color accuracy

Many page edge "ribbons" were trimmed off, the text is now smaller and further from edge

High ink levels completely hid the detailed backgrounds Eric made

Another example of loss of contrast and color accuracy to high ink levels


Page edge treatments highlighted any minor shift in paper trimming

So my shipping is a completely outrageous 46USD. I really need to know is if this is shipping from the US to Canada and if I'm going to get charged for customs, please.

Why is it that I get my CC blocked every time you charge for shipping? This happened with the shipping for the MoSh boxed set as well.

It makes me so happy that its getting out, it took way longer then expected, for that I´m sorry...hurdles of one person creative teams. Lessons learned, it will be better next time. I promise :)

Project Update: Final PDFs and Address Update Information

Hello and happy Tuesday, everyone! This is a big week for the Wages of Sin campaign. So, let’s jump in!

First, we are happy to let you know that the final PDFs of Wages of Sin are now available for download. So, if your pledge included the PDFs and you’re eager to take a look at the final version, you can find them on Backerkit now.

Second, we’ve had quite a few folks reach out about address updates. Our fulfillment company should be emailing the final address checks this Friday, June 19th. So keep an eye out for that email if you need to make any changes.

Last, we are stoked to let you know that the books should be arriving at the warehouse this week! That means fulfillment should be starting this month. Some folks have asked about international orders. Being that we will be sending books to the international hubs, folks living outside of the United States may not receive their books as quickly. However, we will be getting the ball rolling on all fulfillment as soon as possible. 

Before we go, let’s take one more look at these beautiful books…


We sincerely appreciate your support of this campaign. The TKG team is very excited for everyone to receive their orders. We hope you love Wages of Sin as much as we do!

I will be popping in to give more updates as we get started on fulfillment. If you have any questions or problems, please reach out to my old pal Tyler at [email protected]. Thanks for reading!

When this was last updated two months ago, it was mentioned that the project would be moving into manufacturing in May or June. We are about half way through June now so have we gotten any update on that?

Project Update: Project Update: Shipping Charges and Timeline

Hello, Everyone!

We are in June! Here's a quick update on shipping-


Update to the update! I had folks ask for a text summary. Sorry, everyone! Long story short, the books should arrive early this month and we should start fulfillment later this month. Due to global events, some folks may see an increase in shipping when it is charged next week. Not every country is affected. Most increases fall between $5-20, but the highest would see an increase by $29.

Last, another look at Wage of Sin, Wages of Sin Deluxe, and Megadamage.




As always, send us an email at [email protected] if you have any questions. Thanks for supporting TKG!
