Overclock: A Steam-Powered Campaign Guide

Hey friends,

Just a heads-up! With most (if not all) of the shipping issues corrected, we'll lock orders early next week and charge shortly after that. Once we've charged on the back end, we can start delivering the PDFs. 

The first PDF will be a "first pass" PDF. This will be sort of a penultimate draft that we've already edited and proofed, and we want to get additional eyes on it. After a couple of weeks of having that, we'll make any corrections based on your comments and suggestions, and then send the final version. At the same time, we'll send that final version to the printer. From there, we're unsure how long it will take to fulfill. The trade issues still have things backed up pretty badly, but either way, we'll keep you posted. Fortunately, all the dice and pendants are in-house, so we must wait on the one book.

If you have any additional issues with anything, make sure to reach out to us before Monday so we can correct them before clicking the lock and charge buttons. Bree, our wonderful CS rep, can be reached at [email protected]

Thanks again, everyone! We look forward to showing you this fantastic book that Chase and Kes worked so hard on.

Turns out that Backerkit's system uses ounces instead of pounds. So I had all the shipping prices set for 5 oz and under instead of 5 pounds (or 80 ounces). This should significantly reduce many of the shipping prices across the board.

Give it a couple days. If it still looks relatively high by Monday, hit us up at [email protected].

Sorry for the mistake!

Hey everyone!

Just giving an update on everything real quick.

Locked Orders are due soon, but we'll probably hold off a week or two for a few folks who are ironing out their shipping details. Even when it locks, nothing will charge yet. However, we are still looking to charge probably sometime in mid-August.

EU Shipping is... grim. I've looked everywhere for better rates, and unfortunately, with the trade squabble between the US and the EU, it's not ideal. If you are in the EU and you wish to switch to digital only, contact Aubrey at [email protected] with your Backerkit information and we'll switch you. 

Finally, one piece of good news—we commissioned 10-15 additional pieces of art to go into the book created by our friends, Matias and Nacho Lazaro. Kestrel is also creating some new art for the book, too, so it should like nice and bright and shiny once we release the PDF.

For those wondering about PDFs, PDFs will be released after we do the charges in mid-August.

If you need anything else, don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected]

Thanks!

Hey friends,

Just a quick heads-up: international shipping prices have been updated. I used Easy Ship to look through all the rates and tried to get the best ones where I could. Domestic stayed the same.

UK and Canada went down significantly, as did Australia. EU, unfortunately, is still skewing a bit high due to trade war stuff. 

If you're in a country that's not UK, EU, Canada, Australia, or Domestic and want to see if we can get a better rate, hit us up at [email protected] and we'll take a look at it.

If your shipping charges didn't automatically update, hit us up and we'll see what's wrong. Backerkit said they should adjust automatically, but you never know.

Thanks for your patience, friends!

Hey folks,

Sorry about the scare with international shipping rates. We usually ship through Shopify as it gets us the best rates, but this time it did not. However, I may have found a different solution with Easyship which is getting us much better rates via FedEx. Naturally, they'll still be higher than domestic shipping would be, but at the very least it won't be in the high tier.

I'm going to see if I can adjust it all in the Pledge Manager first. If I can't do that, I'll offer discounts after the fact. Do keep in mind that due to the ongoing foreign trade issues, rates have been going up quite a bit for all international shipping companies. Plus, shipping costs include the cost of handling/supplies, etc. Regardless, I will do my best to get a better rate for you all.

Thanks!
