Shipping Update! 10.02.23
7 months ago
– Mon, Oct 02, 2023 at 07:18:48 AM
It's time to charge for shipping so that we can lock addresses! All shipping & handling costs are now available in your Backerkit account. Shipping will be charged to your card on file October 16thPlease go there now to verify your card is current. Getting this taken care of quickly will help ensure the smoothest fulfillment possible.
Volatile Verse 2 (EU & UK) If you live in the EU or UK, we have sent copies of Volatile Verse 2 along with other items to the Ireland fulfillment center. If you want this bundled in with your pledge, you have to order it within the next week here!
EU & UK Backers We called one of the starships a "Crowdfunded Slow Boat" (VG Space Cruisers p. 21) for a reason. All items should arrive at our Ireland warehouse by the beginning of November and we will begin shipping to you as soon as we can.
Everywhere Else It looks like the boat is scheduled to arrive in port October 14! That puts fulfillment beginning for everywhere else around the 3rd week of October. We're hoping it will be sooner... but that's all the info we have right now. It is important to be sure and pay your shipping so that we can export all orders to our fulfillment partner by October 17th.
As you can see in the Production Tracking Tool above, almost everything is GREEN. Let's break down all the details below.
:::///DIGITALPRODUCTIONUPDATE///:::

As you can see in the Production Tracking Tool above, almost everything in this campaign is complete. Let's break down all the details below.
:::///PHYSICALPRODUCTIONUPDATE///:::
Vast Grimm: IntoOblivion Books: The books are completed and look fantastic! I (Brian) received a final production copy of each of the books and they turned out great! The foil covers give the right amount of sci-fi shimmer while still capturing the weirdness that is Vast Grimm. The inside pages feel great. I know, I've been using the Starship Cruisers as I've been building out the online Starship Generator.
Freight of the books: We are currently working on the logistics side of things to get the books from the printer to our fulfillment partners. We should have them on a boat next week!
:::///DIGITALPRODUCTIONUPDATE///:::
Guest Adventures: We now have passed all of the writing to Walton for editing. 2/5 adventures have been laid out and need a final editing pass. Look for these to start hitting inboxes around late September.
Starship Generator: It is live!!! Fill your space with randomly generated vessels here: Starship Generator.
Speaking of Generators. There are now 2 different Character Generators on the website. The standard Character Generator contains just the stuff from the core book. The Advanced Character Generator now has all the other classes added in.
VTT Assets: These should be hitting your inbox through Backerkit. They will also be available on Role once we have those rooms finalized.
Role Rooms: We'll be focused on that once the final guest adventures are all put together.
Vast Grimm: IntoOblivion Books: There has been a delay with these three books. It is putting us back about another month. Above all else, the quality has to be top-notch. Sadly, we had to reject the first round of books as they did not live up to our high standards. Those books will be recycled and new ones are already being printed. This is going to delay our delivery,most likely beginning delivery in October. As soon as we know for sure we will let you know.
Patches: Are finished and have been received.
VastGrimmCore book/GM Screen/Tear pads: These have arrived by boat and are soon to be on a truck to our warehouse!
Card decks: Are completed and awaiting getting on a boat with the finished VG:IO books.

Massive Digital Delivery™: We were aiming to release this at the end of May. Many things derailed that from happening and it is going to be pushed back to a later date.
We know everyone is itching for the PDFs of the new books. And we want the content on your devices. Because of this, we are sending those out through Backerkit with your links now.
Guest Adventures: We are currently reworking our guest writer contract to make it even more favorable for the authors. We're spending a little extra time to get this right, and once finalized we will be releasing some amazing content!

The first printing of Container 1 sold out on the first day! The reprint is in a new and exciting color with a "purple" cassette! This time we have double the amount of both cassette adventures available, so hopefully everyone will be able to snag them.
The first printing of Container 2 is in a limited color of translucent green with black ink.
We've been asked by a number of international backers if we can add this to the pledge manager. We are going to make this available when we unlock Backerkit and charge for shipping. Sorry, we didn't think of this as an option sooner.
Infinite Black returns to Origins! Brian will have a slew of Vast Grimm goodies and will even have some early samples from this Kickstarter you can check out.
You'll also be able to pick up the 2023 Convention Exclusive Patch at our booth 724!
