Hi everyone,

We're delighted to inform you all that Fulfillment Europe has received rewards for European backers and fulfillment is officially underway!

If you have any questions about the fulfillment of your order, please direct them to James Naylor and his team at [email protected].

We can't wait to get the game in your hands!

Quick Fulfillment Update
over 2 years ago – Sat, Jul 22, 2023 at 02:42:32 PM

Hi everyone,

As a follow-up to the previous update, we wanted to inform you that the shipment of rewards that we planned on leaving Ludo Fact early last week will instead be leaving Ludo Fact this upcoming Monday (July 24). We understand this is frustrating to hear since we had planned for fulfillment to begin last week, but unfortunately Ludo has needed more time to process and pack the shipment than we anticipated. We were reluctant to provide an update earlier in the week as each passing day seemed that it would be "the day" for the rewards to be handed off to Fulfillment Europe, but that didn't occur. Instead fulfillment is expected to begin next week. 

We appreciate your patience and understanding, and hope to get you your rewards as soon as we can.

-Cory

July '23 Production Update
over 2 years ago – Fri, Jul 14, 2023 at 02:19:30 PM

Hi everyone,

It's been a long week! We've been working hard since the last update on getting rewards to ship out from the factory to our fulfillment centers as soon as possible, and everything is finally ready to go. In an effort to get your rewards to you as quickly as possible, we've pivoted toward new fulfillment partners with greater and more immediate bandwidth. As such, we've made a few changes and have now solidified which fulfillment centers we'll be using to help get product out to you as quickly as possible. 

Fulfillment Center Locations: 

•  EU - Fulfillment Europe, Germany 
•  UK - Spiral Galaxy,  UK 
•  US & Canada - Flying Cloud, Maryland
•  AU & NZ - Aetherworks 

Any orders not fitting into the above will be shipped from the most effective destination to reach those backers.

Current Estimated Deliveries:

•  Europe - Starts next week, beginning with our German backers.
•  UK - August/September
•  US & Canada - September
•  Australia - September/October

Working With Naylor Games

It's our great pleasure to formally introduce Naylor Games as our fulfillment logistics partner through their Back Office program. We've been incredibly thankful to James Naylor and his team for their help in the past couple of months with managing the logistics of shipping, freight, and fulfillment. There are so many  little details that can easily be missed, and they've been incredibly helpful in making sure nothing is overlooked. You can find out more about Back Office by Naylor Games here: https://naylorgames.com/pages/publisher-back-office

As orders start to ship, if you have any questions about the fulfillment of your order, please direct them to James and his team at [email protected]. Also, if you have a last minute address change, they can help with that as well.

As always, if you’d like to stay as up to date as possible with the  development of Earthborne Rangers, we invite you to check out our podcast. Here's the latest episode:

We will continue to have regular updates as we have more information to share, and it's more than likely that some of you will have your rewards before the next update. Exciting!

Thank you for your time, and stay tuned.

July '23 Production Micro Update
over 2 years ago – Fri, Jul 07, 2023 at 03:25:45 PM

Hi everyone,

This is going to be a short one. We've been in calls all day, and literally just finished a long chat with our shipping logistics partner. The main takeaway is that we don't have the timelines solidified yet, but we're getting close.

This is a busy time of year for fulfillment centers, so we'll effectively be in a queue with other projects who are also waiting to ship. As such, we're exploring alternatives that will lessen the wait. 

Current Estimated Deliveries:

•  Europe - July/August
•  UK - August/September
•  US & Canada - September
•  Australia - September/October

We will continue to have regular updates as we have more information to share. Expect more information next week. 

Thank you for your time, and stay tuned.

- Cory

Production & Fulfillment Timeline

It's official... as of this week the production of the revised punchboard is finally complete! It took at little longer than we had hoped, but everything is now packed and ready to go. The core game and add-ons will now be shipped to our fulfillment partners and then to you! James Naylor, who is coordinating fulfillment and handling all of the logistics, is hoping to give us a projected fulfillment schedule next week. We will share that with all of you as soon as we have it! Exciting!

UK Games Expo

In other news, UK Games Expo was a massive success! Even though our spot on the show floor wasn't the easiest to find, we had full demo tables for the entire convention. Thank you to all of you who dropped by to say hello and share your enthusiasm for both the game and Earthborne's mission. Andrew loved meeting so many of you in person! He was practically glowing upon his return.

A big reason for our success at the show was the quality of the demo. Fischer put the support materials together, but it was the demo team that made it sing. We are so grateful for Frank and Peter who did an amazing job throughout the show. They represented the game and Earthborne incredibly well, and we couldn't imagine having done a better job ourselves.

Frank and Peter host the Drawn To The Flame podcast where they mostly talk about Arkham Horror the Card Game, but they go into great detail about their experience demoing Earthborne Rangers at UKGE in a recent episode. You can listen here: https://drawntotheflame.podbean.com/e/episode-289-post-ukge-bits/ 

As always, if you’d like to stay as up to date as possible with the development of Earthborne Rangers, we invite you to check out our podcast. Here are the last few episodes:

That's all for now, but we'll be in touch next week!

Thank you for your time, folks!
