Hi listeners.

 

It’s been a very productive weekend for me here as I sat down and finished working on both of the final PDF documents for the game: the graphics and text-only versions. Following the previous advice from my accessibility consultant I believe I’ve gotten them to a very good state! I’m looking forward to getting them professionally reviewed for screen-reader compatibility; hopefully towards the end of July when my consultant returns from a well-earned holiday.

 

Once those two documents have been reviewed, I should be able to distribute the downloads for all the digital rewards via the pledge manager. This includes the character sheet, and where applicable, the Early Bird Reward and Tabletop Tavern Freebie. I was hesitant to send out those bits and pieces before the game itself was ready to download as I felt you wouldn’t be getting the most out of them otherwise.

 

I’m also very excited to say that some of the books are in the post to me, and some have already arrived! My plan is to go through the boxes once they all arrive, check the books over, and then turn my attention to preparing parcels for shipping.

 

As I am doing this by myself, this may be a somewhat slow process as I test wrapping materials, weight, and work out what the postage costs will be for the final packages. My understanding is that once I know the weights and costs from Australia Post, I’ll be able to upload them in the pledge manager, and then give folks notice before I start locking addresses. I will also be including tracking information and am working out how to upload that into the pledge manager as well.

 

Hope you’re all having a good weekend too, as I leave you with today’s song recommendation of Another Girl, Another Planet by the Only Ones.

Dorian.
