Hello backers,
The kobolds are delighted and relieved to announce that the Creature Codex and Codex Pawns are now shipping in Australia and New Zealand--this is the last set of print rewards going out!
All packages are shipping from Melbourne and should be arriving from shore to shore over the coming week or two. Thank you for your patience as we forged a new connection to push for Australian-friendly shipping! We hope to be able to continue offer slow-but-inexpensive shipping like this on future projects as well.
In addition, we would be remiss if we did not point out that about 10 Creature Codex shirts remain on the Kobold Press store, in sizes from Small to 2XL. They're very limited in quantity, and most of them were given away to volunteers at the summer conventions, so if you want one, now's the time.
Happy gaming,
Wolfgang, Marc, and the Shipping Crew
Great news this week, as the rollout continues!
All Canadian backers should be seeing their Creature Codex rewards in the coming week; the Kobolds have confirmed that all packages (that we have addresses for) have shipped from Vancouver BC this week. That means they should all be in hand in Newfoundland by September 22nd (if that hasn't happened, give us a shout on the 24th, please!).
Next up are all the European shipments. The Ulisses team in Germany confirmed that they got the books and pawns in their warehouse late on Thursday, Sept 13, and they are putting together boxes and labels. Shipping will start on Monday the 17th and we believe that European rewards should all be in the mail by Friday the 21st, with arrival roughly by Sunday, September 30. As with the Canadian shipment, Kobold Press has paid all customs fees and you should not see any customs charges within the EU.
Finally, we also released the Creature Codex Lairs by designer Shawn Merwin and the matching player-friendly Creature Codex Map Pack by cartographer Jon Pintar last night. There is a glitch with the map .zip file (it's missing elements), but the art director is on the hunt for corrected files. We should have it fixed this weekend.
For backers who got the no-frills rewards but who might be curious about 9 adventures from levels 1 to 10, the Creature Codex Lairs and the Map Pack are available to the public as well.
That's all for now! We hope to have more news for the European backers next week.
Happy gaming!
Wolfgang, Marc, Meagan, and the Kobold Crew
The news arrived owlback late yesterday! The Creature Codex has cleared Canadian customs and is at the warehouse in B.C.
This means packages of books and pawns will be packed up starting Monday. Those will be shipping all week long via Canada Post, and of course they'll take time to get to the Eastern seaboard. If you don't have a book in hand by the 22nd or so, please notify us (we're guessing a bit about timing over continental distances via Canada Post, but it must be comparable to US Post, right?).
That's all the news we have on this front; more as we hear it!
