Slight issue.

Aw man, in my excitement to get some books sent the first one has arrived and has some truly odd page errors,
Page 18 is displayed as 1B, the formatting on a couple of others has words overlapping, fonts have vanished, and some titles are underlined!?!
This will delay the printed books a tiny bit, but if you receive a book with these errors please note that a replacement will be sent as soon as possible without these issues.
Gah!
Surveys sent!

The smoke test was successful, so now it's time to send surveys to all backers!
You have 6 months to fill it in from today, but if you could sort it out a bit sooner than that I'd appreciate it ;)
I'm aware that some of you might want to wait til the end of the month and payday before sorting out the postal costs, and that's totally fine too.
If you like the book and your friends want to get their own copy, regular non kickstarter backers will be able to get them around August/September, and if things go well there should be a limited amount at Gencon & Origins this year too at the Last Mile Logistics stand!!!
The Kickstarter Extra PDF's will follow as soon as they're ready,
Thank you all again, and keep an eye on your junk mail folder in case the survey goes there.

The Proof copies are in from Lulu, and while it would have been nice to send everything out via DrivethruRPG it seems like the print quality on the covers is nicer through Lulu.
I've set up a smoke test with Backerkit, so a few of you will be receiving the backer survey to sort the postal details and costs for the main corebook, and assuming that's all ok, the rest of you will then get it in about a week or so!
You'll get tracking numbers for the physical product if you're ordered or upgraded above the PDF only level, and the extra adventures will be added to your DriveThruRPG account as soon as they're finished.
I'm still waiting on some artwork to complete those properly, so it will be a little longer for the stretch goals, but the main book is finished and I'm eager to get it into your hands with the global lockdowns ending and us all having the opportunity to see our gaming groups in person again!
All the best, and thank you again for backing this nonsense!

Lulu is the way to go for the printed versions

The proofs have arrived from Lulu and they look great!!!
If you're following the facebook or twitter pages you'll have already seen the pictures.
One or two little tweaks required so things fit on the page better in a couple of spots, and then It'll be time to send the final surveys out for things like your address if you've ordered a physical copy!
I'm still working on the kickstarter exclusive adventures and waiting for some artwork to come in for those, but getting the printed books out has been a journey... One thing I will say, is that the postage costs through Lulu appear to be far cheaper than with DriveThru, especially to Canada where it has dropped from close to $25 to under $9....
It seems like this back up plan will work out far better!
(Hopefully) My final *FINAL* proofs will be here in the next few days and then the surveys can be sent out.
The PDF book, and all the PDF extras that I'll be releasing as soon as they are finished will still be sent to you as a DriveThruRPG link, so please check that the email address is correct when you fill in the survey and it matches your DriveThruRPG account.
You have all made this dream of mine come true and I really hope you enjoy some adventures in the Weirdspace Universe
All the best

We are in the end run now,
I've had some trouble getting this formatted for print with DriveThruRPG, so have explored a back up plan of getting the physical copies printed through Lulu.com which appears to have been far easier.
The PDF version is complete now, all the editing, layout, artwork, content and proofreading has been finished. I'm currently sorting the hardback and softback books, and while I'm waiting for these to arrive so I'm certain the finished thing looks good, I'm also well on my way with the PDF only Kickstarter extra adventures.
For those of you who have backed at the level where you get a physical copy, it looks like we're only a few weeks til this will be sent out!!!
Please keep an eye open for an email coming through asking for address details and postage costs,
All the best everyone!
