Vale: The books have arrived! (and Origins)

Hello Chosen Ones!
Despite the best efforts of the shipping company, the books have arrived! 39 were destroyed in shipping, but otherwise all is well! I am so glad we splurged on the florescent yellow ink - the title really does pop!
We will begin signing and boxing up books next week, so please make sure you get your Backerkit survey done!
If you want to upgrade from a PDF pledge to the physical book, or if you missed the kickstarter and still want to snag a physical book via Backerkit preorder - you can do so until we start shipping. After that though, you will have to wait until the books hit distribution or our website.
Origins
This week I will be at Origins Game Fair in Columbus, OH! (I will NOT have any copies of Vale for sale there, but my distributor might... Depending on when they loaded the truck.)
I will be running Vale and a sneak peak of Goblonia 2 in the Games on Demand room (Fairfield, above the food court.) I am also a speaker on two panels,"Horror in Gaming 101" (Saturday, 12n room A214) and "What is the IGDN?" (Friday, 12n room A214). Feel free to stop by, play a game, or even just say hi!

Important Vale Update: Backerkit & PoD

Hello Chosen Ones,
The presses are rolling and the books should ship my way next week! We will begin sending physical rewards out at the end of the month!
International Backers:
I have received the softback proof from Drivethru and have signed off on it, so you are now able to order your PoD copies! Emails on how to do this were sent earlier today.
US Backers:
We need to start collecting addresses and shipping costs in order to deliver your rewards! Invitations to join the Backerkit pledge manager will start going out today. (They have us do these in small batches, so we can quickly fix any issues that might pop up.)
Please make sure you fill out your info once the invitation arrives. If you don't give me an address, I can't ship your book!
-
If you pledged for digital rewards, but now want a physical copy: you can do that in the pledge manager!
-
If you are only getting digital rewards, and don't want a physical copy, you don't even need to fill out the survey! You should already have your pdf and be good to go. (If you don't have it, please let me know!)
-
If you are getting a physical reward, but want to pick it up from Chez Rick or the Forge Tavern: please pick "local shipping." This way you are not charged any postage.
-
If you are getting a physical reward, and need it shipped to your address: you need to page the postage before we can ship anything to you. All packages will ship USPS ground via Pirate Ship (so you won't be overpaying!)
There is NO pickup option for Origins, Gencon, PaxU, Acadecon, Lexington Comic Con, Star Wars Celebration, your cousin's birthday, Arbor Day, or any other special occasion! If you select local pickup, you either have to go to Rick's house (and you better already know the address) or wait for a TBD date in July to pick up at the Forge Tavern in Columbus, Ohio.
Thanks again for your support and have a great week!
-Robert
