Project Update: July Update

Hi Everyone,

So sorry we didn't update last week, we're still dealing with the unexpected Warehouse move you may have heard about in our newsletter.

The books are all printed and we're just waiting on the shipping company to get them to us.
In the best of times this would normally take only a week but we're still waiting for some updates so we maybe looking at a bit longer but as soon as they arrive we'll be working with our fulfilment partner to get them out the door at to you asap.

All the best 
Dan

Project Update: May Update

Hi Everyone,

Quick update for May, 

We sent out the PDFs via Drivethru RPG last week, please check your emails with the instructions.

Thank you for spotting and sharing with us all the errors you've noticed, we've done an update already and willupdate again based on the feedback we continue to get.

Also thanks to those that suggested pdf-ing the adventure and that will be going out this week sometime so again keep an eye out for emails from DrivethruRPG.

The book is at the printers and we're in the pre-press stage, they're doing their 1st checks this week and will get back to us which any concerns/issues for us to attend to before they start printing.
With this in mind we're looking at booking in with the fulfilment warehouse as well so that Zatu will know its coming.

The printers will put us in their schedule and while we don't have a concrete date for starting to print; however printing usually takes about a month to complete, with shipping and organising also taking another month after that to arrive at Zatu and for them to organise themselves to get things sent out.

We'll be back in June with another update to let you know how it's all going.

best wishes

Project Update: PDFs

Hi all,

PDFs are out via DriveThruRPG NOW! Check your inboxes associated with Backerkit for those DTRPG messages (not your DTRPG email, unless they're already the same!) The adventure and tracker PDFs will go out as soon as DriveThru let me put it up.

I've spotted some confusion amongst backers as to why it was up on DriveThru ahead of you guys getting it, so I thought I'd share some of the exciting admin that goes on behind the scenes here and clear it up: we quietly put it up on DriveThru at the same times as triggering the "Hey Backerkit, give us all these sweet peoples' personal private email addresses" in the hopes that both the PDF and Emails are confirmed at the same time. ALAS! DriveThru were fast and Backerkit don't work on the weekends. 

The printers are still backed up but we'll share our excitement as soon as we get good news from them.

Cheers!

Project Update: April?

Hello all,

Thankyou so much for your patience and understanding with these delays! We enjoy sharing our deadlines with you, and we're right along side you when we sadly watch them sail by.  We could be more tempered with our dates, treat you like just customers on a glorified pre-order, but in the decade we've been doing this we've never failed to lead with our excitement to have you folks so deeply involved in the process of creating. I wouldn't have it any other way! 

Regardless, in those ten years we've never failed to make an industry-leading-ly beautiful book at the end of it all and this time won't be any different. Gotta trust the process.

  • PDFs will start appearing next week.
  • Our usual printers have no slots for us for ages, which is very unusual, so we are exploring using another printer we like. Worst case scenario this adds a couple of months to things while we wait our turn at the printers.

Again, thanks for being cool. The three of us love that you love what we do and give us your trust and patience to deliver on it every time.

-Dan

Project Update: Hello March!

Heyo Marines and assorted Space Toughs, it's update time. Remember the plan?

PRINT THE BOOK: March 2025

POST THE BOOK: April 2025

ENJOY THE BOOK: May 2025

We are on schedule! The book will be going to the printers soon and, with any luck, it will arrive by the end of April. From there it will go straight to our lovely fulfilment partners, who will send it in the most internationally friendly way possible and everyone will have it before the end of that month. Smooooth.

Once the books go to the printer we'll be able to send PDFs out as well, so that'll be your signal to get excited.

Sorry updates aren't very exciting, making books is pretty straightforward and uneventful!

-Dan
