Good news! It’s available to order! The preorder ended at the end of last week, as Kickstarter fulfilment wrapped up.

Hey - just noticed - all of the books in this post are printed in the UK, so have really minimal shipping used. That's pretty cool. It's tricky to do, and we do print in Europe when we need to. But it's great to print local where we can!

Weird. I thought it was when the moon had sharp teeth!

A friend wants to know if the buyer gets to own the skellingtons

I think formalising or structuring that (in a good way, naturally - it doesn’t want to be stilted or stiffly delivered) would be very helpful.

I totally agree space and people is an issue. The concentration of many hats across few people makes it rough.

I wonder if there’s any mileage in providing kits people can take away to play? Need to be very well designed but hey. We’re smart people. Hahahahahah no really though

I think it’s really interesting that I really want to do them, but the practicalities seem dead set against it happening. And I’m currently really soul searching on the deep why. Because we CAN do it - we don’t need anyone else to like the idea as long as we do. But… why aren’t we just doing it?

Yeah because if there ever is an apocalyptic event, you want people like that on your team.

How grateful I was to receive a copy of The Road from my best friend, on the occasion of the birth of my first son. How lovely.

I’m like “uh oh”. I should read it actually and stop being such a silly billy. Books can’t hurt you! (Ha ha)

Ha! I still haven’t read it despite being a fan. I just wasn’t in the right robust headspace to cope with a McEwan when it came out, and I don’t think I have been since. I should try I guess… or should I? Hmm.

It’s ok! We do mail order too.

"launch in"??! launching!

You are very welcome. (And just because it's funny, I initially was like "HOW DID YOU GET THOSE oh wait")
