Shipping now, digital files distributed!

hey folks!

hopefully you have received a couple of emails from me tonight regarding your items shipping, and digital files available for download.

If you find that you are missing anything please email me at [email protected], or contact me through Backerkit, and we will get squared away as soon as possible!

some digital backers had the early bird sticker selected, but this was a physical tier only thing, so I'm not sure what exactly happened there. I do apologize for any confusion.

If you selected the The Earth Is Not Dying digital zine but did not recieve it, you still need to send me proof of support to Marcia Howard (details available here)

Thank you again to everyone for your support all along this process! 

your friend, 
Kyle.

Greetings from the dust factory!

I have gotten the zine back from the Editor, and made the final tweaks.
I am waiting for one last piece from Matt, which will be ready any day now.

This means that all orders will be locked July 15!
Please make sure your shipping is squared away and you have added several add-ons!

If you have added The Earth Is Not Dying, you must send a screen shot to [email protected], confirming that you sent Marcia Howard $10 (you can read more about that here), in order to receive it.

PS tell your pals about the pre-order store here (also open until July 15): https://ground-to-dust-meditation-on-sacrifice-and-solo-rpg.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

Until next time,
Kyle,
