I think I'm done...Everything OK?

Hello Prelude backers!
Well, with the 1914 shipped, I thought I was done, but alas I might not be. I had to mail one person a missing add-on today and the cause I believe is how I used the backerkit data setup. Anyhow, let me know if your order hasn't arrived yet or is incomplete.
There is also one person who backed the kickstarter who never filled out the survey - if that is you, please contact me!
Meanwhile I hope you're having fun with the game.
Right now I'm working on an Arthurian game. That's definitely going to happen, but I don't know who the publisher will be. I've also got a couple other projects in the pipeline I can't discuss just yet but will let you know when things are ready to talk about.
thanks!

Hello Kickstarter backers
Shipping Status
We're almost done with the Prelude shipping. I had hoped the non-USA backers would be able to get their games sooner, but they seem to be largely en route now. I did get There are some exceptions:
Brazil
For backers in Brazil, we've had a delay due to finding a reliable way through the (apparently) complicated import process. These should still go out within a week or so, or I will contact you directly.
1914
We're still awaiting the shipment of 1914. I should know more in a couple days, so I appreciate your patience. I'll send you a direct email when I know more.
And More
We've signed a deal with the UK Digital producer Nomad to make Quartermaster General.

Shipping, 1914, and Cold War
almost 6 years ago

Hello Prelude backers
Some of the first games have gone out in the USA, and more throughout the week. On Wednesday, I'll be driving games to a freight forwarder for transportation to the UK, where the the games not destined for the USA will be sent out by a fulfillment house there. So for International backers, you should see the game in about a month, probably less for many of you. USA backers should certainly have games by the end of the month, latest.
For those of you that ordered Quartermaster General: 1914 - Right now I'm waiting on copies of reprints to be delivered. If I do not get them shortly, I will send out everything else first, and ship the 1914 in a few weeks. I will let you all know in individually when I know more about what's happening.
Quartermaster General: The Cold War - If you didn't find out already, I wrote a game about the Cold War, and PSC will be publishing it. There is a kickstarter going now:

That's it for now!

Blank Card Redux, Lock Down Next Week
almost 6 years ago
– Fri, Jun 29, 2018 at 02:59:00 PM
Hello everyone!
Well, the overwhelming reaction to the issue with the blank cards is that few if any of you care much about the blank cards.
Blank Cards: First off, I removed the blank cards from the Add-on "old stuff" swag bag that contained the swag from the base game, Air Marshal, and Alternate Histories. I lowered the price by $0.50, too, to be fair. All of the Prelude Swag bags will come with 12 extra cards, despite a number of you not wanting them - it's just easier to pack them. If you really want the blank cards, please make sure to send me a message right away via kickstarter or to [email protected] and I will try to make sure I set aside some with blanks for you. (No need to send a message if you don't care.)
Survey Lock Down: Next week I intend to lock down the surveys and charge you for any add-ons, so this is a last call for add-ons. The games are coming soon! If you are not located in the United States and have not filled out your survey, please do this as soon as possible. (You three know who you are, I presume). I send all international shipments to a fulfillment house in one shipment and won't be able to get you the games later.
Thanks!

Blank Card Issues
almost 6 years ago
– Wed, Jun 27, 2018 at 12:15:55 AM
Hello Prelude Backers
Well I've run into a little issue, and I'm looking for guidance. You can comment on this update, or email me directly.
We've been putting together swag bags, and what's happened is that we've run out of blank cards. I made a mistake when including this as a stretch goal as I thought I had more than a lifetime supply but realized that I didn't.
Basically, me bad.
This problem affects both the Prelude Swag bags and other Swag Bag add-ons.
I can solve the problem in one of two ways.
1. The first is obvious - order more blank cards. I can do that, but I can't do it from the original printer, which means the colors won't match very well - sort of defeating the point of the blank cards. It will also delay the kickstarter delivery by about a month.
2. My second choice is to provide spare base set cards. These aren't blank, but the backs would at least match, and a felt tip permanent marker shouldn't bleed through. But it means writing on top of another card, which is also less than ideal.
I myself am leaning towards option 2, since I would rather not have the backs be mismatched, but I'll wait 24 hours or so to see what the comments are (I'll make sure to have dram of single malt before reading the replies).
Meanwhile. the rest of the swag looks great, and we've been printing, trimming, and folding the card manifests like mad, as well as stuffing the swag bags with goodies.
