Big milestone to share: our full digital samples from LongPack have been developed, reviewed, and approved. The back and forth took longer than planned, but we're viewing it as a good thing. LongPack's experience and attention to detail is increasing our confidence that we chose a good partner, we feel it in the process. It just takes time, even when you plan for it taking time. We are very eager to get into real production!

Next Up:

The pledge manager has been a huge success with over 90% of you completing your surveys. We are closing it on June 14. If you haven't completed yours yet, now is the time. Your survey is how we know what to make and where to send it. For any outstanding charges, those will complete when the Survey closes on June 14th. 

After that date, the Pre-Order store will stay open but any crowdfunding specific perks may be limited.

If you are not in the Discord yet, come on in. We are going to be doing more community testing there, including a web app prototype for stat tracking and a digital version of Red Tides on Tabletopia. Both will be available to test drive.

We also want to hear from you. What do you want more of? Lore, art, behind the scenes, Q&A, design deep dives? Let us know and we will make it happen.

More soon.

Fair winds and following seas.
