Three backers orders got held up because I ran out of copies of Shields Up. The reprint arrives tomorrow and so that will finish off the domestic side of things.
All the goods for the 29 UK-Hub orders have arrived at GamesQuest and are hopefully going to be booked in. This is the UK Games Expo week (of course) and so my small job is being deprioritized a bit. They're not calling it that, but that's what it is.
With luck, I'll start to see things headed out from there Real Soon Now.
At that point, I'll feel comfortable putting the book and surplus cards up for sale on my web store and (for the Saether's Bane PDF) DriveThruRPG.
VTT Keys work; package not recognized... (Problem Resolved!)
I'm getting reports that while the license keys are being accepted, the package itself is not being found or turned on by the system.
One of two likely issues:
1) We need to upload something with the manifest URL different or in place if it was done wrong or blank 2) The package wasn't activated by Foundry VTT like it was supposed to be this morning
In either case I suspect we may need to wait for open of business on Monday. It'll be my #1 priority tho.
For those whose pledge levels included the Foundry VTT package (over 400 of you), I just sent the README and license keys via Backerkit digital downloads.
Please read the install file and hopefully that will get you taken care of. I am 100% NOT a power user of Foundry VTT, especially on the GM side (I've used it and loved it as a player).
If you have questions, you can certainly ask them here ... but nipping over to either the Foundry discord or Mook's GURPS Discord will get you better answers and faster, by power users.
That being said: I believe 100% of all digital product has been delivered at this point. If I'm mistaken, please DO let me know.
But I think the only things left are 2 backers who need Shields Up! in physical form and 29 backers from the UK hub who need their physical products. The DHL package for all but Saethors' Bane was picked up today, and usually arrives very promptly to the UK. I got email that Saethor's Bane itself was delivered to GamesQuest earlier today ... naturally, it hasn't been "checked in" but I can confirm all the SKUs seem to have been allocated.
So I'm hopeful things should start to move by the end of next week for those last 29 UK-Hub orders.
For the two backers awaiting Shields Up (I ran out. I was not expecting to run out.) I should have them within the next week.
BEWARE: Shipstation/USPS email asking for payment is a SCAM
One of my backers who's also on my Discord just posted up a screenshot of an email he got today. It claims to be from ShipStation (which is what I use for my shipping), but is asking for payment before his package will be delivered, and of course providing a convenient link.
His package was delivered by USPS, no charges, yesterday.
Here's a copy of the email, pasted together from screenshots, with the backer's name obfuscated:
Needless to say, don't fall for it. Especially not in the USA, where all shipping is prepaid, no duties, no taxes.
Dropped off a very full SUV with all the remaining US-Hub packages in it. The USPS in Burnsville likes/encourages you to pull around back with a drop-off this big, and the person who met me at he loading dock was very helpful. From leaving my house to returning having put the stuff in the mail was no more than 40 minutes, and a good 25-30 of that was the (slow) drive there and the (much faster) drive back.
In any case, I've also picked and packed the box of UK-hub books and placed the order for 50 copies of Saethor's Bane from Mixam UK. That is expected to arrive on Friday; the DHL could potentially be roughly the same time.
The only really pending thing is the Foundry VTT module, and that's "done," in that it's been assembled including the maps, tokens, actors, etc. We need to work with Foundry to get it uploaded and then they'll send me the code-bank of license keys.
But once that's done, I'll be able to make those with all-digital content fulfilled, which leaves me with 29 UK-hub orders and three pending "please fill out your survey" backers. Not bad.
