Project Update: Fulfillment Complete! Share your feedback on the campaign!
At this point, all Cloud Empress Stories From the Slip packages have been delivered (realistically, you should have your books for a few months now, but I've been finalizing some backers who completed the pledge manager late).
If you do not have your Stories From the Slip zine bundle, email me at [email protected].
Finally, if you could spare a moment, please fill out the 6-question survey below. These surveys help me improve future releases and crowdfunding experiences.

Project Update: EU/UK fulfillment starts this week!
Hey, all you patient EU and UK backers. Last month, UPS lost half of the EU and UK orders somewhere in Kentucky. Since then, I've shipped another batch of zines and reprinted and mailed replacement patches. The good news is, fulfillment for EU and UK orders will begin this week!
Here's the overall view of fulfillment as of November 10th:
Here's the overall view of fulfillment as of November 10th:
- United States: Complete.
- Rest of the World: Soon to be complete. International shipping through Pirateship can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks (sent the games out two weeks ago), so reach out in a few weeks if you don't receive something. This is a reminder that ROW orders are not customs-friendly, so you may need to navigate some additional fees or logistics depending on your country's customs rules.
- Canada: Complete.
- United Kingdom/European Union: Starting this week.
- Digital Fulfillment: Complete.
If you don't have your package or PDFs in a region marked complete, please reach out to me at [email protected] so we can get you your stuff!

50% of EU/UK orders lost by UPS
While one of the boxes full of zines and patches made it to IglooTree in the UK, the other box has been declared lost by UPS (after repeatedly trying to tell me that they never received the package, despite having records indicating the box traveled from Minneapolis to Louisville, Kentucky). This is quite frustrating, but these kinds of shipping mistakes are quite frequent.
Next week, Iglootree should be able to give me a count of what made it to London. Then I will be working as fast as I can to reprint the necessary patches and zines to fill your orders.

- Consequently, this means that fulfillment for EU and UK orders won't be completed until the end of November or early December 2025.
- Canadian orders have all been shipped and you should receive your games in the next week or two (if you haven't already.
- All US orders should be complete.
- Rest of world orders have all been shipped and should arrive in the next few weeks.

Project Update: Fulfillment update October
Hello Cloud Empress, Stories from the Slip Backers!
Fulfillment is still well underway--and we've made good progress. Here's where things stand:
Fulfillment is still well underway--and we've made good progress. Here's where things stand:
- United States: Largely complete, but still processing some late pledge manager completed orders. If you don't have your package, you can reach out to me at
- Rest of the World: Largely, but still processing some late pledge manager completed orders. International shipping through Pirateship can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks (sent the games out two weeks ago), so reach out in a few weeks if you don't receive something. This is a reminder that ROW orders are not customs-friendly, so you may need to navigate some additional fees or logistics depending on your country's customs rules.
- Canada: Ratti Incantati has imported the books into Canada. Fulfillment should begin next week.
- United Kingdom/European Union: The games have been held in UK Customs for the last 7 days (I shipped two large boxes from the US to London for fulfillment). UPS strangely reported that the packages were out for delivery, but closer investigation from a UPS agent indicates they have not cleared UK customs yet. For a moment, we were worried the packages had been lost when they didn't arrive. I'll continue to update you on the situation, and I hope it resolves soon. In the worst-case scenario, we can reprint the games in the UK.
- Digital Fulfillment: I'm a bit behind on digital fulfillment after spending several hours updating other Cloud Empress titles in DriveThruRpg, and playtesting at a local convention. My plan is to upload and distribute digital copies in the next two weeks. Thanks for your patience.
