Project Update: Charging cards and addresses locking in 48 hours
Hey folks
To my slight surprise, the first of our three shipments (the one for the US Eastern half) arrived at the warehouse on Friday. That means we'll be commencing shipping early next week. The US Western half and rest of world will follow soon after. This is not a drill!
To ensure that we have final details ready to share with our shipping partners, in 48 hours time I am going to:

To ensure that we have final details ready to share with our shipping partners, in 48 hours time I am going to:
- Charge cards for shipping; and
- Lock addresses
That will be a little after 16:00 GMT (i.e. 11:00 EST).
Keep an eye out for any card error warnings when the shipping is charged - as you'll know, these things seem to happen to a random selection of backers on any given occasion.
If you realize your address is wrong after that point, please get in touch urgently. The best way to do this is to email josh (at) blackarmada (dot) com.
Any problems, just get in touch.
Thanks for your support and I'm excited that you'll soon be getting your rewards!
Cheers

Project Update: Orders lock soon - last chance for Lovecraftesque at pre-order prices
Hi folks
We are very close to shipping Lovecraftesque now - two shipments have landed in the US and the third is currently in the English channel so will be landing soon. It's finally happening!
If you're a backer, this means you'll soon be seeing your order locked and your card charged for shipping. Please do check that your address and card details are correct. You'll get a 48 hour warning before orders are locked for good. We're very excited for you to see the game!
If you're one of our followers who haven't yet backed - we'll be raising the price on 20 January, so now is the best time to order a copy. You can pre-order at https://blackarmada.com/lovecraftesque/ - and if you're still on the fence, check out the lovely product pictures below.
One last thing while I've got your attention. If you like Lovecraftesque you might like our forthcoming game Ex Tenebris, a gothic space mystery/investigation game, which is about to start external playtesting. You can see the gorgeous cover at the bottom of this email, and you can find more details and sign up here: https://forms.gle/1oL6zDxJgNFKU9tZ7

Project Update: Lovecraftesque is shipping soon!
Hello everyone
I'm excited to say that Lovecraftesque is now on a boat (three boats actually) and on its way to warehouses in the US and UK. Shipping to customers will commence soon after - likely in January.
If you are one of the many folks signed up for updates on the project but haven't yet backed - now is a good chance to jump on! We will be putting the price in early January when we close pre-orders, so don't miss the chance to pay less.
If you're a backer, you may see final notifications come in some time in the next month, warning you that you're about to be charged for shipping and your address locked. If you have any add-ons you want, or if you are changing address, you need to update your order before that happens.
As planned, the shipments left in late November, and are expected to arrive at the port late Dec/early Jan. There's another week or two for it to get from port to warehouse, and then time for the warehouse to pack everything up and send it out. So I would think late January is the most likely date for the product to be shipped to you - and arrival times dependent on where in the world you are.
For backers who (like me) enjoy watching a little dot move across a map, there's tracking details for each shipment below, along with pictures of some boats.
Yours excitedly,
Josh (and Becky)

Project Update: November update
Hey folks
Everything is almost but not quite entirely unchanged since our last update:
Everything is almost but not quite entirely unchanged since our last update:
- The estimated ship dates have been updated to 22 November (today!) for the UK and US East Coast shipments, and 25 November (Tuesday!) for the US West Coast shipment.
- However that hasn't changed the estimated arrival dates, which are late December for all three shipments. That's the date for arrival at a warehouse, not the date you'll receive it.
- I am personally assuming that those dates are optimistic. Shipping is unpredictable at the best of times and these are not the best of times. So I am assuming that the real arrival date will be in January.
- The dates for shipping to customers is therefore still expected to be around January, with arrival times dependent on customer location.
It only remains for me to remind you that shipping has not yet been charged! We will charge shipping once the product starts being sent out to customers. I will let you know when that is imminent.
One last thing - we will be at Dragonmeet in London in a week's time, and we'd love to see you there! You can find us on the UK Indie League stall; Becky will be on the solo journaling panel at 3pm and the women in gaming panel at 4pm, while Josh will be on the indie hotness panel at 5pm; and in the morning Josh will be running a multi-table Lovecraftesque game called Dark Legacy, for which there is exactly 1 seat still available. Book here if you'd like to join Dark Legacy.
We'll do another update in late December, when hopefully Lovecraftesque will be close to our shores.
Best wishes
Josh (and Becky)
