Dead Letter Society: Six & a Half Weeks Later

Hi everybody,

I held off on an update last Friday because it wouldn't have been as exciting as writing it now. The print proof has arrived, and it looks pretty good! There's a little flick-through on this Twitter thread if you're interested. I'll make a few small tweaks this week, but then we're heading firmly into the final stages. Let's review what happens next and how you can help.

Digital Rewards

Everyone should have received a link to their digital copy of Dead Letter Society.

• If you haven't received your link, send me an email.
• If you got your link via Itch.io: I've only just seen today that it's not letting at least one of you add the game to your library. I'm going to look into that next and potentially send out new emails to you all.
• If you got your link via DriveThruRPG, everything should have worked.

Print Rewards

This is important: I'm going to lock down the survey responses on May 3rd at noon (BST). If you haven't replied to the survey by then, your book will be available from Peregrine Coast Press as the default option.

• All of the books will be printed in the UK and then shipped to Peregrine Coast Press, which will forward copies to Ratti Incantati.

Why? Print costs in Canada, at the moment, where Ratti are based, are nearly  double the UK cost (a margin that keeps increasing each time I look). I simply don't have the buffer available to print locally in Canada. On the bright side, this means they should all match the proof copy I received today.

On the downside, it will take longer for backers selecting Ratti to receive their books. I am very sorry about this, but I hope it's worth the wait.

• Please check you've selected an appropriate fulfilment location before May 3rd. Books shipped to Ratti  will not be shipped back to the UK/EU (let's avoid that extra environmental load).

I'll be reaching out to the few backers who might fall into this category to be on the safe side, but please do check yourself.

• If you've lost your backer survey – email me, and I'll resend the link.

Dead Art Society Backers

All your reward art looks great in the book, and I've no reason to keep it away from you any more. I have shipping quotes at the ready and will be in touch tomorrow.

Discord Bot Progress

If you've been waiting for this, it should be available in a couple of weeks. It's almost in a 'blind test' form, which will occupy a few evenings next week, I hope.

Timeline Update

The print proof is here, and while I am planning on making a few changes, they are very small. I plan on placing the final order on May 4th or 5th. Hopefully, that means we'll start getting those books to you before the end of May.

I think that's everything for now, phew! 

Cheers,
