Heya, quick check in!

📚 I'm prepping sending print files for Standart Impressa to review for next Monday. The initial print deliver is slated for early May, and then there's shipping time. UK, Europe and International fulfilment could begin mid-May, and USA fulfilment from mid-May to early June.

📜 I'm still working on getting the backer surveys put together. Should have those assembled in the next week or so.

🦅 For USA backers, Trump's tariff news is concerning. I have no news on how it affects orders, but I can assure you I'll investigate different options to give the cheapest possible shipping. Who knows, maybe in a month this will have blown over entirely.

That's all for now!

We did it!

Scurry has reached it's goal, and now it's on to the next leg of this heist: counting the coins PRINTING.

I'll be setting up the reward surveys over the next few days, so that I can collect addresses and prepare for fulfilment in the next couple of months. I'm also liaising with Standart Impressa about the print run and getting final details ironed out.

As an extra hurrah - we funded a stretch goal:

All physical pledges will now be receiving VER's beautifully designed woven patch. For anyone feeling the FOMO - you'll be able to grab spare stock from VER's wonderful store this summer, after fulfilment is complete :)

Here's to more heists in the near future!

Welcome back, crafty beasts!

This Scurry campaign is entering it's final 48-hours. Over this last week I've been updating Standart Impressa and ironing out important details for the deluxe hard cover print run, so that we can hit the ground with all four paws and get these fast-paced games out to you as soon as possible.

TTRPG books can be very expensive to produce, especially when you're working with so many talented individuals. I'm really glad to say that, as of yesterday, we passed £7,000 worth of pre-orders, which means this project is now turning a profit. Until now, this campaign was subsidised by reprint funds I'd been saving up since early last year. I can breathe a sigh of relief - and start thinking about paying rent!

If you've not pledged already, the clock is running out to nab some swag!

If you've pledged for a reward, you can still help by telling all your beasty mates about the game as we scramble for the finish line. you can even share this handy short link - www.stoutstoat.co.uk/scurry !

Ahead of the pre-order closing, I've calculated some delightful stretch goals for us all to look forward to: 

Good news crew, we've piled up enough loot for a print run of Scurry!

I'm so pleased that we've managed to do this in the first few days of the campaign. I can breathe a big sigh of relief for the rest of march, and start to get things prepared on my end. First things first, I need to clear out my closet so I have somewhere to put all these new books...

Supreme Supporter Update. I really appreciate the extra tip folks are kicking in, and I wanted to add something extra to this pledge level. All current and future Supreme Supporters will receive a bonus set of 3 A5 art prints, one of each of the cover illustrations for the three heists. They'll be printed on high quality artist grade paper stock, with colour-fast inks. I can't change the actual contents of the pledge level now that it's live, but I've reflected this in the graphics of the campaign and will implement this when it comes to fulfilment.

Low Apawthecaria Stock. An extra heads up that I have about 10 copies of Apawthecaria left (alongside a small amount of buffer stock). If you were thinking of adding one to your order, I'd get it in soon before I make this addon invisible. Anna Blackwell and I don't exactly know when we'll be reprinting Apawthecaria, so I'd get a copy while you can!

Stretch Goals? I'll be thinking of some tasty treats we can all enjoy if we get some gonzo levels of pre-orders in. First up though will be a bonus payout for all of the authors and illustrators involved in the new heists! VER has also talked about how much they enjoyed making the sword-wolf patch design, and how they have other ideas they'd love to scribble out...

That's all for now. Thanks so much for your support!
Yours Stoatily,
