Project Update: Timeline update for Deeds Drawn
Production Started... mostly.
Hey there, folks. Quick update on Deeds Drawn for you.
It took a bit more back and forth than I was expecting with the manufacturing company, but I've just been notified that a sample deck is in production now -- after that, they can flip the switch and get the rest printed out. It'll take 10 business days to finish the sample, by their estimates, and then they'll ship it my way for approval.
That does, however, firmly place the timeline for shipping in October. Sorry for the delay, folks.

Juggling Bundled Shipping Costs (re: Gossamer Frontier)
Turns out there are at least 142 of you who want to bundle Deeds Drawn with Gossamer Frontier and ship them both out at the same time, which is great. There also isn't a super great way of doing this on the system backend, so here's what I've come up with:
1. If you purchased Gossamer through the Deeds Drawn campaign, no problem. You'll still get charged shipping through this campaign once I lock down orders (which will likely be early September.)
2. If you purchased Gossamer through the Gossamer Frontier campaign, I'm going to credit your Deeds Drawn account so that you aren't charged for shipping when I lock down Deeds Drawn. Instead, you'll just pay shipping through the Gossamer Frontier campaign once that's locked down, and I'll suck it up on any extra shipping costs related to the card decks themselves.
This will require me to go through and cross-reference all the pledges by hand, and thus be more error prone. So if I make a mistake, just let me know and I'll get it sorted.
Hope that's not too confusing.
Work on Gossamer
Now that Deeds Drawn is off to the side, Gossamer Frontier is chugging right along again. I did recently make some fundamental gameflow changes that I'm filing the rough edges off of now, but I do really like the updated direction, and don't think it'll take much longer to get it across the finish line. That said, production will likely kick off in September, which also puts it in the same boat as Deeds Drawn with delivery likely occurring here in October.
That's all for now. Thanks, folks!
