Quick Update on Shipping

Hello friends, I have a few quick updates on the shipping of physical copies:
If you pledged at the Communard level, your copy should be in the mail or at your door. Please let me know if you have any issues.
For everyone else, the shipment is in transit to the fulfillment house and is estimated to arrive around April 16th. IPR tells me they'll basically start sending them as soon as they come in the door, so I think there's a good possibility you'll have your copy before the end of the Bloody Week in this 150th anniversary year of the Paris Commune.
Obviously now is the time to correct your address on Backerkit if anything has changed!
And as always, thank you for your support and patience, I am honored by it.

Shipping Update!

I've been informed by the printer that they should have the print run shipped out by March 25 with an estimated delivery date to the fulfillment house of mid-April. I'll try and get you a sense of the fulfillment schedule as that develops.
Meanwhile...
My faithful assistant Willow helps with inventory
I've received the copies I'll be signing to ship out, so if you've backed at the Communard level let me know if you need to update your address as I'm going to be getting these out this week!
As always, I remain humbled by your support for this project, and I am thrilled to finally be close to getting it in your hands!

Production Status Update
about 3 years ago

Hello everyone! Let's get to the important bit first: the printer says they will have the print run finished by March 5, 2021. (Yes! this week!) After that they will ship to IPR, who is doing the fulfillment and will handle the online sales of the remaining stock. I don't have an exact timeline on when that will happen yet but figure a few weeks to get it from the printer to IPR and then some lag as they work us into their fulfillment schedule. I'll update you as these numbers come into focus.
Backers who are to receive the signed copies will probably get theirs earlier than that as I'm having them shipped directly to me and will send them out myself.
Meanwhile, the production sample arrived at my snowy home-away-from home and...it's great. It's very rare to have a project realized almost exactly how you first envisioned it, but this comes damn close. So have some pictures!
The top of the box
You can't see it in this light, but the carnation on the cover is semi-gloss and it gives a nice shine.
Box with the lid removed
The book fits right inside the box and on top of the tray holding the cards. Also it looks pretty neat!
Box interior tray
There's the tray, to keep the cards nice and neat!
All the cards & game components
And here's a nice panorama of all the decks in the game, plus the book and both sides of the box. As you can see we put some of the interior spreads around the sides of the bottom half of the box.
I'm really, really happy with how this all turned out. This has been a long and laborious process but we are finally here where the game exists as a real thing in the world and will soon be shared with all of you who provided me with your support and interest.
As always I am humbled by that, and your patience.

PDFs Should Be Out! Also, Files are With the Printer!

I mean the headline says it all!
You should be getting email notification that the PDFs are ready. They're in the form of a largish zip file that contains the PDF of the rules and two PDFs of the print and play cards.
If you haven't gotten this, check to see if you need to lock your order or finish the survey. I'll resend surveys to anyone who needs them, and try and solve any other problems as best I can.
The other update is that the files have been received by the printer and they're going to be reviewing them and beginning the process of the actual production of the game. I'll keep you posted as that progresses!
As always I am humbled by your support for this project.

PDFs Are Coming!

Hey folks, at long last the PDF files are ready. So what's going to happen is this:
I've sent out the notice that you have 48 hours to lock your orders with Backerkit, so if there are any changes you need to make, you have a couple of days to do so.
Once the orders are locked I'll be sending out a link to the PDF files. This will be the game rules and two sets of print and play cards (the character cards and the poker-sized cards used during the game.)
I'll update you on the physical production schedule as that becomes clearer, but I think it is likely you can ring in the 150th anniversary of the Paris Commune in March with a shiny copy of the game.
As always, thank you so much for your support and patience, I remain deeply touched by it.
