Waiting for tracking information? We’re working on it.

I’ve heard confirmation from some backers that they’ve received their packages or have at least gotten tracking information. Yay!

There are still some folk who have not gotten tracking emails. There are also some folk for whom tracking seems stuck on “ready to ship” or similar.

Our fulfillment partner, Floating Chair Club, is going to be chatting with the post office tomorrow to discuss these issues. I should have a list of people whose shipments have gone out then too. There were a few error cases that still need shipments sent out but FCC is working through them.

I hope you all have a fun weekend.

Cheers,

Shipping

First off, I feel it's important to reiterate that none of this would have been possible without you. 

Thank you. 

I'm concerned that you all don't have the zine in your hands right now to enjoy, but I'm trying to change that as quickly as I can.

I'm still waiting for updates from our fulfillment partner on how shipping went this weekend. I'll be sharing statuses with you as soon as I know. I appreciate your patience.

Questing Beast Review

Questing Beast video review of Aberrant Reflections dropped this morning! I am elated.

Ben's channel was the first I found in the old school scene. A stand alone video review from him has been one of my goals for 3 years. 🤩

Shipping Progress

Quick update on shipping

Our fulfillment partner, Floating Chair Club, has been hard at working shipping out packages to backers. If a shipping label was created for your reward, you should have received an email with a tracking number. If you haven’t received a tracking number yet, hang tight. FCC tells me that although they are swamped, all packages should be in the mail by the end of the weekend.

Cheers!

Fancy pics at the end of the update. 

Shipping

It's always nice when things are ahead of schedule.

The Aberrant Reflections zines have arrived early at our fulfillment partner and they are going to start packing and shipping out to backers next week!

I've started locking addresses in BackerKit, so please update your address as soon as possible, if you need to.

There are still a hand full of folk who need to update their BackerKit survey addresses or credit card information. I've reached out to you. Please update your info soon so you're not left behind.

More Zine Month Highlights

Zine Month 2023 is a little over half-way through. We are showing some love for the community that helped make Aberrant Reflections possible.

Our very own cartographer Old School Jelly (Michael Hohenstein) has launched their own full adventure The Lair of Ysmorg.

The lair of Ysmorg is a compact adventure scenario for a character levels 3-6, playable in 1-2 sessions.

Sneak, bribe, persuade or break your way into Ysmorg’s fortress to end the looming beastman menace!

You can get the digital version right now!

Our layout artist, Jean Verne has got one more suggestion for you too: Hiria: The Eternal City.

Jean: I made for the cover for this one and got to  experiment with collage and abstract design, it's also made by a friend  of mine and knowing what they're capable of, I'm really curious to see how this one will turn out!

Finally, if you're a fan of old school inspired "choose your own adventures" (which I am), this crowdfunding campaign deserves your attention: Trouble at Mill Manor

It's by Thom Wilson, the mind behind the Back to BasiX zines.
