Project Update: We Are Going to Print
The design files have been polished to a high shine and are going to the printer today. Wheels are turning (I assume there are wheels in printing presses, I’ve never actually seen one close up. There must be wheels.). THAT MEANS…
TIMELINE
We are on schedule! Print, freight, and delivery dates remain the same. Logistics Guy Alex and I have constructed a 50-point plan for getting your books, zines, patches etc. to you. That’s so many points. We are effectively unstoppable, we think.
However, it looks like the PDF release will be early November: we need to set up all the shipping information in Backerkit so we can lock orders and charge shipping, and we’re a couple of weeks away from having all of the data we need to do that. Soon, though. Soon.
LOCKING ORDERS, CHARGING CARDS
This will happen moments before the PDF release, but you will get advance notice. I’ll send you an email with about a week’s warning, so you can make any changes to your order. Then you’ll get an email from Backerkit 48 hours before it actually happens. Addresses won’t be locked until we start shipping books, but this is a good opportunity to get ahead of that and check yours is correct.
As a reminder:
- Everyone will be charged shipping at this point.
- People who added items in pledge manager (i.e., after the crowdfunding campaign) will also be charged for those.
THE GM KIT
Is ready! It is very stylish, look at it:
I’m really excited about this one. Mina’s condensed Voidheart Symphony into a 1-2 hour starter experience. It’s both a guided tutorial and a really useful set of GM resources: we’ve got a safety tool card, a gameplay flow chart, and reference sheets for exploration Moves, combat Moves, weapon tags and architect reactions. Plus it’s got a little starter scenario (emphasis on short: dive into darkness, explore the castle a bit, and fight a vassal).
We are reasonably confident you could rock up to your Friendly Local Game Store or cafe, drop this on the table, and immediately look like a pro GM to your friends or a bunch of friendly strangers.
If you didn’t grab one of these (it was not included in pledges: we did not expect so many people to want it), you can still add it to your order, if you like.
In closing:
- Ye gods, Mina’s cool
- Look out for those emails from me, and then Backerkit, about locking orders
- Watch this space for printing and fulfilment updates
- Chant out
