Production Updates & More
Hi!
We are here today to share a manufacturing update.
BOOKS:
There was a problem with the Special Edition book that we have addressed. The cover material was prone to wear ...
We are doing front flips and back flips over here because today we received... DUN DUN DUN... The first test print of Unnatural Selection! (There will be at least one more as we make corrections. Like the off-centeredness of the cover, for instance.)
It is even more beautiful and REAL than we could have imagined. Check out these photos, and ignore the wet stains from our tears of joy! (We have yet to receive our test copy of the SPECIAL EDITION, but that should be coming as soon as we make our first round of corrections and get it in our hands.)
Oooooh, ahhhh, pages, art, tables, text...
One of Mark Lyon's epic pieces that graces the pages of our supplement.
Not only that, but we also received samples of our slick stickers! You can see how reflective they are, below:
You can see how HUGE and reflective the Vaelthar sticker is! WOW!
The manufacturing is now all done for the books, dice bags, 0-level characters, and adventure bi-folds. They will be set to sea by freighter on October 23 (tomorrow) and arrive in the U.S. on Dec 2nd, where they will be routed to the fulfillment facility for individual packing and shipping to YOU, which should begin on Dec 12th. Our Fulfillment center has warned us that these shipments can experience unforseen delays of a week or so. BUT -- assuming no delays -- all shipping will begin before Christmas.
(This freighter carrying our books is our own version of the Shadow Barge. Maybe the Unnatural Skiff?)
The dice are currently being manufactured and will be internationally air-shipped to arrive at the fulfillment center before the books arrive there. The pins and stickers are being manufactured by two different companies to also arrive before the books do.
Lots of coordination, and it seems we're entering into the final stages of this thing! Woo hoo!
We will be locking in addresses soon -- but we're going to wait a bit longer to ensure that prices don't change AFTER we lock in shipping fees.
We are waiting for the word that the books have shipped to our fulfillment center, but we haven't received it yet.
The corrections for the books were due to be finished on October 5th (which is today). It was to take them 7 days to produce the outer carton and final assembly for the large shipment -- which they said they started 8 days ago but couldn't finish until the books were completed.
So we are waiting impatiently for the confirmation that it is out of their hands and on the open sea. A big celebratory message will be coming your way when we receive that information!
ALSO the dockworkers strike that WOULD have affected the incoming shipment was suspended when the two sides reached a tentative agreement on wages on Thursday. There is still concern that it could impact the holiday season, so we'll have to wait and see... but the strike only lasted 3 days, so we're hopeful it won't be noticeable.
Talk to you VERY soon, we hope! The Dungeon Damsel Team
