Surveys will be going out in the near future, as soon as we tie down the final details of how to combine the orders of those who backed New Edge Sword & Sorcery 2025 as well as Sometime Lofty Towers and/or Beating Hearts & Battle-Axes. Originally it looked more complicated, but it turns out we can do it quite simply, just charging you once for the whole package at the reduced rate combining orders allows!

Meanwhile, to the schedule itself:

DIGITAL & SOFTCOVER PLEDGES - We currently expect to begin fulfilling your orders some time during the final week of November.

HARDCOVER & ALL FORMATS PLEDGES - Unfortunately there was a mix-up at the printers which has delayed our hardcovers by a week, meaning we may get lucky with the shipping gods and fulfill hardcover orders close to the same time as digital & softcover...

...however odds are we'll not be able to begin fulfilling hardcover orders until the first week of December. Past experience tells us, though, that this should still be good for getting you your issues before the holiday postal madness kicks in. You'll also get your digital copies at the same time as everybody else.

Sorry folks, this is the part of the process where all we can do is relay what we're told by the printer. That said we are currently pondering the ideal offering to make to the shipping gods that they might smile upon our new issues as they travel toward our fulfillment center in the coming weeks. Do the shipping gods like banana bread? Or maybe they'd prefer garlic bread...

We'll figure it out!

Keep your swords sharp and your sorcery numinous,

P.S. We also jazzed up the editorial page this year with a nice new header that is customized for each issue.
