A 150+ Page Bookazine Covering a Beloved Gaming Genre!
This post is for backers only. Please visit Kickstarter.com and log in to read.
Happy July! I received the word and the books have finally cleared customs and will be arriving at the warehouse within the next week. After it arrives, shipping can begin! Surveys have been sent out to gather addresses.
While the books were fine, I've decided to personally handle all Limited Editions going forward, as many of the Complete NES slipcases didn't meet my packaging standards. Due to my mid-July move, I won't be able to ship these until after I've settled in. If you've gotten multiple items, let me know if you'd like separate shipping.
A question in the survey was to ask feedback on where to move the series in the future. Do we keep it here on Kickstarter and just do much much more infrequently? Move to something subscription-based like Patreon? Or just simply take preorders on the website? After Phase 02 ships out, I'm going to figure out what's best for the series and knowing what everyone who supported it wants will help me make a decision. Thanks!

Happy April!
Last month after posting the update, I was told the books actually weren't on a freighter. I also found an error and had to resubmit the files, which paused the shipping. Things are underway now and shoudl be arriving soon. I was hoping to have my advanced copy to show off, which is why I'm posting this update mid-April, but I have to wait a bit more before it arrives.
Once things arrive I will post an update and get the surveys and addresses. Throughout this whole process, please email me if you have an questions or concerns at thesubcon3 at gmail dot com.
Phase 02 of the Book Series is completely finished and I will be launching that project shortly in order to not have a huge amount of time between volumes. That way we can keep the series going!
