Project Update: Over Half Way Through Shipping
Hi Folks,
I'm doing all I can to get everything shipped out before I leave on Monday for Gen Con.
I'm about 2/3 of the way, but most of the harder orders (international requiring customs forms) went out first. At least I'm hoping most of the harder ones are done. :)
I'm pressed for time, and I find bullets easy to read, so away we go!

- I emailed all international backers getting a shipment last Saturday asking if they wanted me to ship now, delay, or switch to a digital only reward and I refund the difference. Since all but 5 people who replied wanted them now, I'm going to send the rest today/tomorrow--except for those few who replied and wanted to delay/refund. I did this just in case other countries put tariffs on US goods in a week or two, but it seems everyone is very understanding. Thank you!
- I see so many folks I recognize who have backed us over and over or who reviewed our products etc. who I should have sent a personal message to... Sorry! I just can't take the extra 5 minutes for each this week.
- Did you know you shouldn't apply packing tape over thermal labels? I was about to take my first batch of packages to the post office and noticed any labels printed the night before were very faded under the tape. So I had to reprint just about 5 where I added extra tape on top of the label after I added it. Just weird, FYI. :)
- The clings are not inside the tiles box for two reasons: 1. Because we added so many clings--20 sheets instead of 10, even though we had extra space in the tiles box for the clings plus a margin of error it would be bursting at the seams. 2. The printer shrink-wrapped those boxes before I could add the clings, so I'd have to reopen each box and possibly damage it.
- Also the clings were a learning experience. A bunch got mussed up. I've tried to weed out all the bad ones I see, but I'm sure I missed one here and there. Hopefully the idea that you're getting well over 100 towers/towns/etc plus over 30 coasts/rivers/lakes makes up for it. I'm hopeful there will be opportunities down the line to fix them/make these better.
- Print-on-Demand codes: I haven't forgotten! But with the shipping busy-ness and Gen Con I may not get these out until the week after Gen Con.
Ok, back to packing/shipping!
Joe
