11 months ago – Tue, May 23, 2023 at 08:04:41 PM

Hello backers,

Sorry for the late (in the day) update, but I have some good news. Our shipment to the United States has arrived at port! Unfortunately, we have to wait a couple days for the books to get through customs before it can be picked up and trucked to the warehouse. I've been told this takes 2-5 days. The ship arrived on Sunday. We probably won't make shipments out in May, and might slip a little into June, but it shouldn't be long before you have that sweet sweet book in your hands.

My Newsletter

If you haven't, I invite you to join my newsletter. I announce all big releases, give away free stuff, and generally let you know what I'm doing on a weekly basis. I'll never sell your information or anything like that. Here's the link if interested: http://eepurl.com/h6GZLn

Interstellar

If you haven't seen, I released a micro-setting with in-depth Faster Than Light travel rules and some other fun stuff. If you want 10% off, use the code TOTHESTARS at checkout.

Other Stuff

I'm still working on the remaining 2 converted adventures, the combat cards, and Sci-Fi Adversaries Vol. 1. You'll be seeing these pop up sooner rather than later.

Until next week!

- Jason

Dear backers,

We are almost there. Our ship to the United States will be in port within a few days (either the 18th or 20th depending on who you ask). I plan on having all the data ready for the fulfilment company when the books get to the warehouse so that we can start shipping ASAP. I'm hopeful the first shipments will begin before June. I'm excited to get these books in your hands.

Otherwise, I'm still working on the final Stretch Goals/Early Bird rewards. Hopefully our next update will include some exciting news of books in or on their way to the warehouse.

Dear backers,

The shipment is still heading toward the United States. The ship keeps stopping to pick up more cargo in Europe. Our container was transferred to a new ship in Germany. So far the ship has stopped in Belgium, and is currently on its way to France. It is running out of places to stop! We'll see if it makes any more stops in the UK, etc. Regardless, our current port ETA is 5/19. We are still on track for a very late May or early June fulfillment. 

Addresses

Yesterday, I sent all physical tier backers and Kickstarter message reminding you to update your addresses. Backerkit should have sent each of you an email as well. Remember, if you need to update your address, you have until around 11 AM MST tomorrow. If passed then, you'll need to contact me directly.

Dear backers,

Our ship is nearing port in Germany. It should be there today (I've been tracking it at sea with a nifty website that uses coastal AIS). There, our container is being transferred to a new ship before it sets sail across the Atlantic. It is still due in port on 5/17. So I'm still hopeful fulfillment can begin this month.

I'm continuing to release Kickstarter related stretch goals and rewards. You should have the following digital products based on your pledge tier: Fantasy Adversaries Vol. 1, Fantasy Arch Enemies Vol. 1, The Cook at the Crossroads, D'ugax, Wallace, and 500 Paces

If you weren't in the pledge tier to get some of these, you can grab them at our store. Just follow the links. I'll keep releasing things as they are finished. 

Addresses

Remember, next week I'll be sending out reminders to change your address if needed. This is very important if you want to get your books. Expect that alert next Monday (5/8).

Until next week - check out our friend's new project.

State of the Project - Week 25
about 1 year ago – Wed, Apr 26, 2023 at 08:04:24 AM

Dear backers,

I'm a day late with my update. Apologies, but I wanted to get some information before I sent this out. That being said, I'm happy to report that our container with 1,000 hardcovers of H&H is now sailing aboard the "Heinrich Ehler" from Riga, Latvia to Bremerhaven, Germany. There, the container will be transferred to a new ship that will set sail for New York. The ship is due in Germany on the 1st of May. And the shipment is due at port in New York on the 17th of May.

I am hoping that fulfillment will start at the end of May, but might get bumped into June. Regardless, I am eager to have things as prepared as possible when the shipment gets to our fulfillment partners in Maryland. That means I will be ready to lock addresses soon. BackerKit will send everyone a message about changing your address if needed. You will have 2 days to do that before they are locked. If something would happen afterward and you need to change it, contact me immediately via KickStarter, Discord, Email, etc. If books are sent to the wrong address due to backers not updating their address, and it cannot be recovered and forwarded, Backers will be liable for a new order. So please make sure everything is correct. Backerkit will send this request on 5/9. 

Thanks!

Jason
