The book, the signed collector's edition, and the monster deck almost at your home!
Our shipper has told me that all orders for US, Canada, and S. America should be in the mail by the end of this week.
You should be sent tracking numbers as well.
Rest of the World Soooon
I'm trying to get a good ETA for the rest of the world - I should have that by my next update!
I know this update was short, but it's one of the best updates for this project!

New Improved Hero Labs Update!
over 6 years ago
– Thu, Apr 12, 2018 at 06:24:52 PM
Fellow monsters,
Things are now much more clarified with Lone Wolf (developers of Hero Labs).
First, Arthur (me) made a big mistake in confusing those who purchased Hero Labs through our pledge manager (about 84 of you), and the FREE STRETCH GOAL of having Hero Labs support for this book (which goes to any of you who have Hero Labs Classic).
Second, there was information not passed on from others on both of our teams to me, as well as to my counterpart at the Wolflair. The miscommunications are now cleared up, thankfully.
Our book files have an ETA to go live on Hero Labs around the end of this month
If you do NOT have Hero Labs Classic, but are interested, please click here to purchase it from Wolflair.
.
We need to know your exact Hero Labs Classic email for them to send you the files when they are ready (ETA end of this month). So, please take this survey, so we can send your email to Wolflair.

Also, important note - please ignore my previous request to email James and send him your email. That was when we believed we only needed 84 emails. We need a lot more (potentially 2000, depending on how many of you have Hero Labs!). So, instead, please simply take the survey above!
Whew.
Sorry for all this confusion. Please don't cast malign magics my way.

Some News regarding HeroLabs!

All,
I've been emailing the folks at Wolflair about once a week to answer some questions and get a status update (I'm very unfamiliar with the process for getting files ready and distributed - I do not have a HeroLabs account myself).
I finally got a reply today telling me we'll need your email addresses associated with your Hero Lab Classic account. (I wish I had known this earlier, as it may briefly delay getting you your files).
I have downloaded the list of everyone on this project (including late backers) who ordered the HeroLabs files. I've instructed James, our support, to email everyone to confirm what their Hero Lab Classic account email is, in case it is not the same as your Kickstarter backer email.
Once I have the proper emails (or confirmation that it's the same email), I'll provide that list to HeroLabs. I have no real sense of what happens after that - but I assume Wolflair will send everyone on that list the files.
I'll have to follow up again, as their communication wasn't entirely clear about "what" exactly happens next.
In any case, everything should be finalized soon!
You can help speed up this process!
James will be emailing everyone on the list. But, feel free to email him so he can simply log it into his spreadsheet:
Email James at james at petersengames dot com to either confirm that your backer email address is the same as your Hero Lab Classic email, or to tell him what that email address is.
Thanks!

100 orders away from all N. America orders being packed!

Good news for N. American backers!
In a response to a followup email from our shipping manager, our US fulfillment warehouse said that all orders are packed and ready to ship except for about 100 of them.
That email actually came in yesterday, so my expectation is that all Western Hemisphere orders should be packed, or at least very close to it!
The next step is for all these orders to be picked up by the courier and actually mailed to you. When yours is on its way, you'll be getting a tracking email!
Note, that in the world of shipping, having all orders packed doesn't necessarily mean all orders will go "out the door" at the same time. This will depend on the volume the courier can accept on a given day. A truck will go to the fulfillment warehouse and pick up as many orders as possible (hopefully all at once!), and take them to their facility for processing, and then each package will go on its way to some hub, somewhere in the US. And that will continue until it gets to your local area, when it will be out for delivery. This process could take less than a week, or more than a week, depending on where you live and when your package is physically picked up at the fulfillment warehouse.
Still a few weeks out from arriving in Port for other regions
Europe and Australia haven't yet received their books.
Asia has not yet begun the pick and pack process either.
Stay tuned for more updates for the rest of the world and the HeroLabs situation!

US bound Books almost in mail! + Hero Labs Update

US region is still processing orders
I am told that no packages are YET in the mail, but they will all be going out shortly!
I'm going to try to get some pictures for you of the packing and shipping process from inside the shipping warehouse as well.
Europe, Asia, Australia not yet in port
The other regions have not yet arrived - stay tuned! They will be there soon.
Hero Labs!
Someone was ill for a bit at Wolf Lair which slowed down their review of the Hero Labs files. But they've finished their review, sent it back to Jeffrey to make the corrections they found. He has made those, and sent it back. When these versions are approved (which should happen shortly!), we'll be able to get those out to you!
Yay!!! We're almost there with everything!
We've hired the book's illustrator, Kent Hamilton, full time!
Also, some big news at Petersen Games - we've hired Kent Hamilton full time. He did a great job doing the chapter illustrations and spot art for our Pathfinder book. He also did the concepts and full color art for our Cthulhu Wars: Onslaught 3 project, and now he's working on the concepts for HYPERSPACE, Sandy's big strategy game going to Kickstarter this Winter.
He's excited to be part of the team, and to more officially be part of our whole gaming community with you!
Thought you would like to hear this bit of good news!
