Hey folks

Another quick update this month. Everything is settled in terms of the product design, layout, art, and production spec, and we're waiting for an invoice from Longpack Games, which will be the trigger for them to create the "mass production sample", i.e. a proof copy of the game done to the exact same standard as the finished product. That's the final step before commencing production, and then shipping the product to our warehouses.

Honestly I was expecting to be able to say in this update that the mass production sample was already underway, so things have definitely dragged a bit this last month - partly due to spending some time getting small but important tweaks made, and partly due to general slowness at Longpack's end. Rest assured that those tweaks are now finished and I'm continuing to pro-actively push things along (i.e. nag Longpack).

Right now my best guess is that production will start in August, and complete in either late Aug or early Sep. I'll do another update in late July.

By the way - did you know our Actual Play podcast Black Armada Tales is a finalist in the Crit Awards? The winner is decided by public vote. Black Armada Tales has done an actual play of Lovecraftesque. So, go and have a listen to that if you haven't already and please do go and vote for your favourites in the Crit Awards.

Yours

Josh (and Becky)
