Hello everyone! At long last, the surveys have been locked, cards have been charged, and all backers with completed surveys and successful charges have been sent their digital rewards (now including add-ons and pre-orders!). These rewards have been delivered both through DriveThruRPG and through BackerKit's own digital reward system. Look out for separate emails to claim your rewards. All of these downloads, once claimed, will be available for you going forward. Just log back into your account at DTRPG or BackerKit and you should have digital rewards downloadable to you.

If for some reason you feel like you should have gotten a reward and didn't, PLEASE reach out to us. If you haven't had a chance to fill out your survey and it's locked, reach out and we can unlock it individually so you can complete it! 

As we've said so many times, physical rewards are in the works, but it will take a few more months before we have them in our hands. We anticipate that will be February 2026.  We'll be charging for shipping a few weeks before we deliver, but we'll remind you when that's going to happen.

Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy these books and cards and maps. We've worked SO hard bringing them to you and are very proud of what we've accomplished with this game. We hope you not only download it, but start to PLAY it when you get the chance. It's a game meant to be experienced.

You can always join our discord server (linked below), where I am usually available to answer some questions. And as always, the game is now yours. You do what you want with it. We'll enjoy hearing stories of your tables if you're willing to share them.

Thank you again, and we'll be in touch again int he coming months with some pictures of proofs, etc., as the print production process unfolds!

Hi Backers!

The surveys have been locked to order changes!  We just wanted to give you a little heads up that we plan to charge cards for add-on items you purchased or any additional funds you may owe through BackerKit this afternoon (Saturday, July 5th). This charge will appear on your bank statement as "EDE SOL GAMES." Please make sure that you have the correct card information on file. If any issues arise with your payment you’ll receive an email letting you know to correct your payment information.

If you need to review payment information, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://han-cluster.backerkit.com/.

After cards are successfully charged, we'll finish the process of distributing digital rewards, including providing all purchased add-ons and current pre-order PDFs via DriveThruRPG and the Backerkit digital distribution system.  The Pre-Order store will remain open indefinitely and cards will be charged for future orders on a rolling basis with digital rewards delivered accordingly.

Physical rewards, of course, will be coming later (anticipated February of next year).

Thank you for everything!

Hi all!

I wanted to let you all know that the final Han Cluster files have been officially sent to the printer to start production. We still have several months before the final printed product will be here, but the printing process has officially begun!

ALSO, all digital files have been updated to the final 1.0 versions in DriveThruRPG. So to get the final files, you just need to log into your DriveThruRPG account and redownload the files for the latest versions. If you haven't already claimed your files from DriveThruRPG, they are still there, just find the emails that were sent to you during the backer feedback period. If you lost your emails, let us know! We will ALSO be releasing the final digital files via BackerKit itself, but I'll be working on that this weekend to get everything set up to close the Surveys. Speaking of which...

Meanwhile, I will be locking the Surveys early next week, so if you need to make any changes to your add-ons or orders, NOW is the time to do it. I'll be charging credit cards for any outstanding orders AFTER the Surveys are locked, after which we'll release any add-ones you may have ordered in digital format. This also includes anyone who ordered from the pre-order store (which will soon become just an "order" store). Again, we'll give you a warning just before we charge the cards.  Remember, of course, that shipping for physical products will be charged LATER, once the product hits US shores.

This is a huge milestone for the project, and it's been a lot of work, with HUGE help from all of you who provided feedback and enthusiastic support for the setting. So a big thank you to ALL OF YOU for making this all possible.

It's been a LONG week, so I'm going to go rest for a bit, but more will be happening over the weekend and keep your eyes open early next week for another update!  

Thanks again to EVERYONE.

Hello all!

It's been a sweltering month here in the Southwest USA, with oven-like temperatures and no rain for months, but it's nothing new to us--we just call it "June." The summer rains are coming, and relief is on the way (we hope!).

As for Han Cluster... 

The last day to make final updates to your order is Tuesday, July 1st. On Wednesday the 2nd, we will lock your reward selections and charge cards for add-on item purchases, pledge upgrades, and pre-orders. You can update your shipping address up until we lock addresses for shipping, which won't happen for several months (see timeline below).

This step is necessary in order to deliver digital files for add-ons and pre-orders, as we need to collect payment  before we deliver those files. If you haven’t answered your survey yet, and especially if you have a PHYSICAL REWARD as part of your order, we still need you to do it so we have your shipping address and you can pay for any taxes due, as well as shipping charges when we charge them closer to the physical delivery date (again, see timeline below).  You can still fill out your BackerKit survey later by asking us to manually unlock yours, but you will not receive any digital rewards for add-ons until you do, and if you wait too long, your shipment of physical items may be delayed.

We sent out reminders to those who haven't completed their surveys along with this update, so please check your emails!

Beyond that, if you need to review your information or pledge status, you can return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://han-cluster.backerkit.com.

Here's the timeline going forward.

June 27th: Print Files delivered to the printer!  DONE!
June 28th: Final Digital Files (1.0) delivered to original backers via DriveThruRPG. DONE!
July 1st: Deadline to add to your orders via surveys.
July 2nd: Surveys locked and credit cards charged for add-ons and current pre-orders.
July 3rd: ALL Digital Files, including add-ons, delivered via BackerKit delivery system / Any unsent files for add-ons and pre-orders sent via DriveThruRPG.
July 3rd: Pre-Order Store becomes an Order Store!
July 3rd-4th: Han Cluster digital files go on sale to the public at DriveThruRPG!
July THRU January 2026: Print production ongoing
ESTIMATED January 2026: Anticipated locking of addresses in surveys, and shipping charged to credit cards.
ESTIMATED February 2026: Anticipated physical reward delivery.

As always, these dates are subject to change and unanticipated delays, but so far, we believe we are on or ahead of schedule!

Thank you all again for all the backer feedback over the last couple months, and for being so responsive to answering our BackerKit survey—even though it may not seem like much as an individual backer, you have no idea how tremendously helpful this has been for us when trying to keep track of all of you!

Thanks everyone for your support!

Hi everyone! And here we are at the final round of backer feedback. Thanks to all of you who took the time and effort to look at the Transcendence adventure book and give us feedback on it. We'll be going through all that in the next week or so before we finalize all our files for sending to the printer. Speaking of that, we are well-on schedule for that plan. Most of the print files are actually already ready. The final touches will be made to the two books to ensure they agree with one another and that all the cards do the same. We have very little left to do before we send everything to the printer and the long wait for production begins. As you might imagine we're VERY excited to get this done as it marks a huge milestone in the project. 

I know I'm a broken record, but if you haven't completed your survey yet, PLEASE complete it now. We'll be closing surveys to order changes in a couple weeks from now. Those who have NOT filled out their surveys will not get the final digital rewards via Backerkit's digital reward system, and we will be unable to ship physical rewards to those who haven't completed their surveys because we won't have addresses to send them to. 

Remember also that shipping for physical products will be charged later, once we are close to actually shipping the product to you.

Shortly after we close surveys we'll be charging credit cards for any add-ons you may have elected to purchase in your survey, and for anyone who pre-ordered. We'll send another update before we charge cards, but just be aware, that time is coming soon!

Those of you who originally backed the campaign at any pledge tier other than the $1 level will receive an email from DriveThruRPG either today or tomorrow, so you can add the core card set to your library. These digital only cards include Adversary Cards, Edge Cards, Status Cards, and Power Cards. It's a big package with LOTS of cards you can print as needed for your table. We think they look great and are excited to show them to you. As part of the pacakge, you'll also receive a printable "cheat sheet" that helps explain trappings and new modifiers for EXISTING powers as they apply to Han Cluster. Remember these aren't quite final yet! We look forward to backer feedback from YOU before we finalize them, and we have a brand new google form for this FINAL round of feedback for you.

Feedback Google form link for ROUND THREE!

As we said, we'll be finalizing the print files over the next couple weeks and getting ready to publish all digital products for sale to the public on DriveThruRPG. If you haven't received your digital rewards yet through DTRPG, PLEASE LET US KNOW. When everything is finalized you'll get a full set of final digital files through the Backerkit digital reward system (but ONLY if you've filled out your surveys!) and your existing DriveThru products will be updated in your account with the final files.

We'll keep you posted when all this happens.

Thanks for all you do.
