Project Update: You, The Citizens (important fulfilment updates within)
So titled because the most fun we’ve had this month is putting backers’ bios and pictures into the book, so thank you everyone who pledged at that level!
Thank you also to everyone who sent feedback on the core book. It is better for your input.
TIMELINE
We’re still on track! Mina’s got bits of work to do on each product, but nothing huge on any of them. The biggest, and most exciting, part is putting the Citizen backers NPCs into the book. If you’re one of those backers, we’ll send you a preview of your content next week.
In order to stay on track, we’re going to send the files straight to the printer once Mina’s finished with them - we’ll proof them, of course, but we’re not going to do a backer review period like we did for the core book. That will let us get files sent over pretty early in September, then onwards we go through production and freight until, early next year, we get the books into your hands!
LOCKING ORDERS, CHARGING CARDS
There’s a delicate dance we have to do, on every crowdfunder, around this.
- We want to get you the PDFs as fast as we can.
- We have to lock orders and charge cards before we can do that.
- We want to lock orders as late as we can, so shipping costs can’t go up by 50% before we need to send out your parcels.
- We also don’t want to end up manually editing too many orders for late address changes, etc., because that way lies disaster.
For more information, see general global postage chaos.
Our compromise, on this occasion, is that we’ll lock your orders and charge your cards as soon as we confirm the item weights (when printing is finished, so late September/early October), and accept the risk that postage costs might go up a bit in the New Year.
We’ll give you a two week warning (at minimum) before we actually go through with charging cards. Once we’ve charged cards, we’ll be able to distribute all PDFs immediately.
So, for everyone keeping track, that’s PDFs in October.
I hope that’s a nice bit of news to end on. I’ll leave you with a few more page spreads, this time from the Burn This City notebook, as a party favour. The notebook contains sections for Rebels (in blue, for tracking your game sessions and character arcs) and for the Architect (in red, for scheming).
Until next time.
- Chant
