Project Update: Gloomhaven starting to ship
Good day! I (Isaac) am back in the update chair for some brief news on the projects.
Gloomhaven
We're going to start right off with fulfillment on Gloomhaven, which I know is on everyone's mind. EU, UK, CA, and NZ/AU were successfully loaded onto container ships on April 29. We have ship info on the UK (HMM HOPE) and EU (COSCO FORTUNE) and will have the others next time. In addition, we expect to ship copies to VFI for Asia fulfillment on Monday.
The plan is still to save the US copies until last to give us as much time as possible to make an informed decision, so we won't have any more information on that until at least the next update. Sorry for the uncertainty here, but that is just the nature of shipping to the US at the moment, unfortunately.

Miniatures
No real progress on miniatures this week, so nothing new to inform you about here, unfortunately. Moving on!

From Danielle:
There isn’t a ton to update here. We’re still rocking along with our internal review. A couple of things the review showed us is that it needs more art and holy cow, this thing is over 400 pages! So, we’ve been working on slimming entries down, refocusing presenting material in a visually appealing way, and ensuring we’re only putting the most important parts into the core rulebook. This kind of thing takes time, but is well worth it. And don’t worry, we aren’t throwing any slimmed material away. Instead, we’re saving it for supplements that should start rolling forward shortly after this beast gets sent off to the printer.

Unfortunately, doing this work means I don’t have a ton of new information to share or things to show you, because a small tweak here or there might make the difference of a page, but it’s only exciting to maybe 2 people.
In other news, we'll be out at PAX East this weekend in booth 12115, so stop on by to say "Hi" if you're in the area.
Last week, the team all got together for our yearly development retreat, "Gloomcabin", which was a lot of fun and incredibly productive. Obviously, we're focused on finishing up our current slate of projects for this campaign, but we're also very excited about what's coming next!
And that's it for this week. We're going to continue to see how shipping out Gloomhaven and the US tariff situation develops, and we'll have more news for you next time. Catch you then!
