If any American friends were thinking of buying a signed hardback of Dark Shepherd, please consider doing it before 22nd August, after which NewCon press will suspend shipping to the US due to new tariffs. Paperbacks'll still be okay though.

Lots of people receiving their copies of Infinity of Ships at the moment, which is lovely to see.
If you missed the Kickstarter, you can buy the book here…
It's a system agnostic toolkit for generating spaceship stuff for ttrpgs.
