Good afternoon!

It's been awhile since we've updated, we've been behind, but we're really happy that smoke tests are going out as soon as I send out this update, and surveys will be going out to everyone else tomorrow afternoon assuming the smoke test doesn't pick up any hiccups.

Please use the BackerKit support link or email [email protected] first if you have any issues because they handle simple survey issues for us. Below, I am linking our worldwide spreadsheet for tax and duty rates by item. We have much more specific rates worldwide than we had we we first started this campaign, so we are no longer using a hodge hodge of percentages for different regions. Unfortunately, we have also become registered for VAT with the EU, so have had to start collecting VAT for digital items within the EU to be in compliance.

When you get your survey, you should have any early bird, returning backer, and Starships & Soldiers dual fulfillment discounts added as credits to use towards shipping and add-ons. If you qualify for all of those discounts, it's possible that you could pay as little as $2 shipping for this project.

We're also including a few of the maps that will be in the final book. I have been brushing off my old vector illustration skills and have taken on mapping for this project, so Ben can work on completing some of his other commitments for other projects.

Each area the final zine will have a distinctive style to match the map style, and we still have more in store for the final dungeon maps. We're in active layout, and we hope to have a pre-press PDF ready for you soon. We're getting so much closer, and we appreciate your patience as we've worked through a backlog and many personal setbacks.

Late pledges are still open using the link on the project page, and we have a few projects that are in the queue for fulfillment before this and Starships & Soldiers as we finish the zine, so you still have a chance to back this early if you have not already.

Much love,
Violet
