Greetings Crew,

Knowledge Asymmetry digital downloads are out, and all backers should have download keys. You'll see four files in there:

The Zine- a collection of villains and lairs to drop into your campaigns
VTT- simple maps, dossiers, and ship stats for wardens to share with crews during a game
Art Zine- Additional character illustrations by illustrator Jettila Lewis
CC sci-fi illustrations- A small collection of ship illustrations which are in the creative commons. Use them in your own projects, remix them, or sell them, just use proper attribution.

If you have any problems with downloads, follow this BackerKit link which walks you through the process.

Lastly, if you haven't completed your survey yet, find that email and send us your shipping info- we want to make sure you get your zine!

Thank you!

Greetings crew, we are going to begin charging cards and locking orders and addresses for fulfillment on Monday. If you've not yet filled out your survey with your shipping information now is the time to do that! We are looking forward to getting this module in your hands soon:-)

Thank you!

Greetings Crew! All elements for physical fulfillment are in our distributor, Space Penguin Ink's, warehouse. They are packing up the booklets and extras for shipping as we speak.

On Monday we will be sending out a "smoke test" of the fulfillment survey. This means a small percentage of backers will get an email from BackerKit with a link to fill out their address and provide payment information for shipping. If you run into any hiccups let us know! After this small test we'll be sending out fulfillment surveys to ALL backers later next week.

We expect to charge cards and begin fulfillment by 9/28.

Artist Jettila Lewis is still working on the supplemental digital zine, and we'll be doing digital fulfillment of the zine, dossiers, VTT ship maps, and booklet once that's completed. This is an odd project in that backers may be receiving their physical fulfillment before the digital fulfillment.

That's all for now- keep your eyes peeled for those fulfillment surveys in the next few days. In the meantime here's a sneak preview of Jettila's back cover image for Knowledge Asymmetry:-)

Thank you!

Greetings Crew, printing and physical production of Knowledge Asymmetry is done. After getting the initial proof from the printers I reviewed it and made some edits, then submitted the final file for the full print run. I'm kicking myself for not getting the obligatory "box of 1000 booklets" picture, but I did snap grab this picture of the print preview a couple weeks back:

I got this booklet printed at Chicago Printworks in Chicago IL. It's a small business just a 10 minute drive from my apartment. It's invaluable to talk to the printers face to face about my printing questions, and they even helped load the (shockingly heavy) boxes of booklets with me. It's great seeing those same friendly faces from the website in-person.

From here I shipped the booklets to Space Penguin Ink in Florida to repack and ultimately mail out to you all. I'm reformatting maps from the print layout for use as VTT tools, and Jettila is sketching out the digital stretch goal zine.  Physical fulfillment of your orders (packing and shipping all the booklets and patches) is being handled by Space Penguin Ink, LLC. 

Shipping will be charged post campaign via BackerKit, and we are trying to keep shipping costs down. We will be shipping all orders from the US. We are trying to keep EU/UK/ROW shipping as low as possible, but can't guarantee there will be no import fees. Import fees are the responsibility of the backer. We will also endeavour to provide shipping options that include tracking in BackerKit.

Estimated shipping costs are as follows. We are using weight-based shipping, and you will be charged shipping via BackerKit for the total weight of your pledge and any add-ons. United States - $9-12 Canada - $19-26 United Kingdom - $19-26 EU - $19-26 US Territories and ROW - $27-38 Note that these are shipping estimates, based on projected book weights. These estimates are subject to change.

We will offer tracked shipping options in BackerKit. Unfortunately we cannot ship to the following countries at the current time: Afghanistan, Belarus, Brunei Darussalam, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar, Niue, Russian Federation, Syrian Arab Republic, Yemen.

Thank you!
