Project Update: 04-21-2025 Update
Hello Everyone,
So much has been happening in the past few weeks, so I want to give a huge update to everyone to let everyone know the status etc.
First and foremost, the game release, and many questions as to tariffs etc. As you all know the President unexpectedly issued a series of tariffs on several key product producing countries such as China, and resulted in a back and forth of a "tit for tat" tariff war. This impacted a lot of makers and printers of game products such as us.
However.... When faced with sudden and unexpected problems you either deal with them fast or you dwell on them with "poor me" of an attitude. We dealt with them fast, and we secured alternate suppliers that are Stateside. The only downside was that it will cause about a 3 week delay in shipping of the Stars & Sails game. Given the circumstances that we were faced with, we think this is a huge win of a response. As many makers are tossing in the towels in frustration. Where we are not, in fact we are hiring a layout and editor specialist to help us be faster and more efficient.
Secondly, we have been preparing for WizardCon, the game convention in Kalamazoo, MI where we want to have Pauli on via remote to talk about Stars & Sails etc. That has been a rather massive undertaking. But we are on schedule there.
So yes Stars & Sails is on course, yes it is being released, and NO IT IS NOT being adversely effected by the tariffs. The tariffs just caused us to rethink and source differently our supplies, that actually in the long run will be better as we will be dealing with U.S. based suppliers, and that is always a win.
So look for an update next week, once we are done with WizardCon, we will be making an update as to Pauli's appearance and also giving everyone a sneak peak at artwork and layout.
Cheers and Happy gaming to everyone!

PROJECT UPDATE
Project Update: We Did It!
Hello everyone, and a sincere thank you. Now that the campaign is over, me and Pauli wanted to again say thank you. We hit our actual goal 4 days into the Backerkit, and we reached our milestone / stretch goal, so everyone will be getting the awesome PC record sheets. I wanted to also take a moment to let everyone know some key things.
- Surveys will be coming out to you all in the coming 14 days.
- Please fill yours out as soon as you are able to, so we can process and get your book(s) and other goodies out to you in a timely manner.
- We will be posting further updates as we wrap layout up, artwork and printing and binding.
This is out first Backerkit and we could not have done this without all of you. The gaming community is one of those communities that are truly special. We will be updating more here as we head towards fulfillment and shipping.
Please, again, keep an eye out for your surveys, we will post an update here once they go out.
Game on!
