Most Spark of Life supplements have been shipped out and are on their way to their final destinations. Backers from the US have started receiving their copies in the mail over the past few days, and if you haven’t received yours yet, it's likely to arrive sometime this week. Since they are sent via snail mail, delivery times will vary drastically.

If you're outside the US and haven’t received your pamphlet in the next 3 to 4 weeks, please reach out to me!

I’m still missing 2 surveys, and 4 credit cards have been declined. I won’t be able to fulfill those orders until payment goes through. If you haven’t filled out the survey or received a notification that your payment was declined, please make sure your details are up to date!

Over the coming weeks, I’ll reach out to various storefronts to see if I can get Spark of Life stocked. They’ll also be sold on itch.io once I get around to making a proper page!

Thanks again for making Spark of Life a reality! I hope you have exciting adventures with your Android characters!

 The modules are here and ready to ship as soon as most of the addresses are locked and confirmed.

A quick note about the printed brochures: I actually received the first batch about two weeks ago, but I wasn’t thrilled with how they came out. Technically within the margin of error, but the folds were off and had slight angles that caused some ugly bends. Just didn’t scream the level of quality I was hoping to achieve with these.

 

After a bit of back and forth, the printer agreed to reprint the batch at no extra cost - the new ones are absolutely immaculate! I hope you will enjoy them at your table!


So what now?

Now I’ve got about 500 copies of Spark of Life I don’t feel great about sending to shops or backers. Rather than let them go to waste, each of you will get an extra copy in your shipment. Keep it at the table, gift it to a friend, pass it along to someone curious about androids, use it to stop a chair from wobbling, they are yours to do with whatever you want!

And I’ll still have a bunch left over, so if you’ve got ideas on what to do with the flawed batch, drop a comment. I’m open to suggestions.

Hello everyone!

95% of you have entered the required information so far and since that is the vast majority, I have decided to lock the order early. You will have 48 hours to make final changes to your order via the pledge manager. If you haven't entered your information, you can still do so! Once the orders are locked, everyone should immediately gain access to the digital files (if I have set up everything up correctly). It is a ZIP will that includesthe PDFs as they will go to the printer, as well as a versions that can be easily printed on letter-sized pages. 

The files have also been sent to the printer and I will receive proof within the next 24 hours. I expect to hold the physical copies in my hands by next week. It's time to start browsing envelopes to ship out the orders hopefully by the start of June to all you amazing people out there!

Thanks again!

Thanks to the quick responses from the four backers who received their survey for the smoke test, I felt comfortable sending out the rest of the surveys today!

The currently planned lock-in date is June 1st, but if everyone fills out their survey before then, I’ll lock it down earlier. Locking it down means all orders are final and you’ll be charged for shipping (and for any additional physical copies you may have added). This is also when I’ll send the file to the printer. Once that happens, I’ll send out another update! :)

I’ve gotten the proofread version back and received the green light from Tuesday Knight Games, so we’re locking in the final tweaks to Spark Of Life!

The original flyer is designed as an 8.5x14" accordion fold, but Arturo is currently putting together a print-friendly version without the black background of the Origins table, which will be easy to print at home on two letter-sized pages.

I've also just sent out the smoke test to double-check that everything’s working properly in the pledge manager. If there are no issues, it’ll go live for every other backer in just a few days — at which point you’ll be able to download the digital versions directly from within the pledge manager. Once most orders are locked in and we know how many copies we will need, the supplement will be sent to the printer!
