Hey everyone,

With the ongoing trade war between the US and China, there are additional delays being introduced that I wanted to keep you apprised of. China is now closely inspecting books leaving the country, which has held things up from getting the books and cards on a ship.

With this delay, it is very unlikely that I'll be able to hold to the previously mentioned schedule of beginning fulfillment at the end of May (because even if product arrives in the US by then, it's likely to get stuck in customs here for a week or two). Since it's possible timelines will continue to change (though hopefully not too much more at this point), I don't plan to send an update every time something comes up, but I will likely send one once it's closer to 100% certain when fulfillment will begin.

There is a silver lining here, which is that during this delay the plans for getting product to the non-US fulfillment centers has changed to a more direct route. This means that fulfillment should start for backers in Europe and Australia/New Zealand sooner than previously anticipated (although the Injuries and Vile Deeds physical products need to be sent to those fulfillment centers from the US, so it does depend on which set of products arrives later).

Finally, I wanted to remind you that the crowdfunding campaign for Tome of Intangible Treasures II ends tomorrow! It's unlocked several stretch goals over the last month, and is closing in on the next - which will add rules for turning boons and charms into pacts.

All previous backers who pledge during the campaign will get a free sharp-edged d6 from the Life's Essence set I'm making as part of the campaign, and of course the campaign's pledge tiers offer some bundle discounts as well as a free copy of the VTT token set of all 100 monsters from the book.

Thanks for your support, and your patience through these delays! There's a lot of uncertainty in the industry right now, and your support means I can keep making the things I want to.
