Project Update: Orders Have Left the Building (Sort of)

General Fulfillment Update


As of this morning, all packages but two have been sent from their origin out of the house. Those last two are waiting on copies of Dungeon Fantasy Companion 3 to be delivered to me so I can take care of them.

All Domestic packages (save for the one above) hit the mail last night, which means tracking numbers should start reflecting "moving to destination."

All international packages have labels. Most have left my house, and a few rogue packages to Canada are picked, packed, labeled, and will hit USPS before noon today.

The UK-Hub stuff is on the way or in place at GamesQuest. The books had a copy shortage for Garden of Evil, but MixamUK instantly said "my bad" and printed out the excess, to be delivered to GQ as soon as they're done. GQ also arranged a DHL pickup for the items (mostly card decks) that had to come from here. I expect those to move quickly; airmail is like that.

The Australia/New Zealand books should be on their way to my contact in Australia; they arrived at the forwarder and I have paid the freight, so off they go.

So there are maybe 40 packages total that are pending, and all but two of those are moving to completion one way or another.

The original schedule said Print Fulfillment Begins in Feb-March; looks to me like it's going to END in Feb-March, with all books on their way by Feb, and because international routes can take an arbitrary amount of time it seems, ending in Feb-March with them delivered. We hope.

Thanks for sticking with me through the process, and I hope you enjoy your stuff.

VTT Pack


Oh, the original note forgot to mention the VTT Pack. Nick and Nose and Neck have all the data and are working on it. When it's ready, it'll go out, but I have not pushed them for schedule updates or "faster faster please" as they're doing this on their own time and whatever I might pay them isn't enough to buy priority. So that one will be ready when it's ready, and then poof, it'll go out.

What's Next?


An excellent question. I'm currently working on my 2023 plans, which already included editing a book on powerful magical items (artifact-class stuff) for Nordlond.

I have a bunch of Powered by GURPS stuff on my docket, the most important (and least complete, alas) is the full-on RPG Mission X: [subtitle TBD].  Driven by a modified Action engine, it's conceived as a mix of Stargate SG1, XCOM2, and a bit of Scalzi's Old Man's War as inspirations. While it may well wind up being a core of "just another bug hunt" plus "kill the foes and take their stuff...in spaaaaace!" it will hopefully also lay the ground for more. Expect "Delvers to Grow" style Character generation, and since this is a Powered by GURPS GAME, not an expansion, I can play around with some things - and fully intend to - to make the on-ramp and play experience smoother. I hope.

More later...for now, back to work for me!
