Hello backers!
I've received updates from all of our fulfillment partners that all zines are sorted and on their way to the post! Some of you in the UK, Australia, and the US have already reported as receiving your copies which is very exciting for us here!
If you are in the US, you might get tracking information from floatingchair.club sent to the email associated with your BackerKit Pledge Manager. I say might because Sam at floatingchair has let me know that there was an issue with their email system not generating the tracking number emails automatically, and that it has now been sorted. At least 150 packages were affected, including some of the US orders that are already showing as delivered in their system. Check your inboxes for tracking information. I'll also be receiving the necessary data to upload the tracking numbers to your BackerKit Pledge Manager, which I will be doing hopefully before Monday.
When you get your zine, or if you've already gotten it, let us know! If you have pictures of TDLBY in the wild, share them with me on Bluesky!
Thanks,
deldon

Hello Backers!
I am happy to report that all physical rewards have reached their intended destinations at our fulfillment partners in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia! Be on the lookout for your zines in the mail. As stated earlier, in order to keep shipping costs down, we did not offer tracked shipping on this project.
UK orders are in the mail and should start arriving within the next day or so. EU orders should begin to hit doorsteps within a week. An important reminder for EU backers, we were not able to offer DDP, so you may owe customs upon delivery. These are categorized as books and they are coming from the UK.
Australian zines are out and should be arriving to backers soon if not already. Please let me know when you receive one!
Canadian and US orders are still being sorted. I will post an update when each of these are put in the mail.
If you have any concerns about your address, please check your BackerKit account first, as the most recent address on file there is the one the games are being sent to. If you have any other questions about your shipment, please send me a message here on Kickstarter.
Thanks!

Hello backers!
As of today all physical orders are in transit to fulfillment partners around the globe!
For our Australian backers, cardboard.monster has already received the zines and is beginning distribution! Backers in this region should check their emails for a an update from Ash of cardboard.monster (be sure to check your spam folders if you haven't received it).
For all other regions I'll be updating as the fulfillment partners let me know when they'll be able to begin distribution.
When you receive your copies, feel free to let me know here or on bluesky @deldon.bsky.social
Thanks!

April 2024 - Zines sorted, numbered, and packed!

Hello Backers!
I finished sorting through all of the zines and checking for any misprints as well as numbering all 1000 issues. After that I've sorted out the individual numbers for each shipping region and safely repacked them into new boxes.
On Monday I mailed a parcel of zines to our *new* Australian fulfillment partner, Carboard Monster! They will also have a limited number of zines for sale after backers' copies have been fulfilled. I'm still waiting on a couple of pieces of info for the rest of the world's fulfillment before I send those parcels to floatingchair.club, Marx, and Ratti Incantati.
In the meantime I'm working on the itch.io page, which will go live after the physical zines begin fulfillment. Once the page is live I'll be sending out itch.io keys for all backers via BackerKit. I'm also working with Jesse on setting up a method of distribution for the soundtrack. Likely it will be a download key on his website or bandcamp page, as the files were too large to send via BackerKit digital downloads.
That's all for now, I'll push another update once the rest of the zines go out. Thanks again, we can't wait to see these in the wild!

Prints in hand!

Hello Backers! Last Sunday I drove out to Lancaster, PA to pick up 8 boxes of zines from Risolve Studios. Behold, real pictures of the actual zine!
What's Next?
Now begins the process of hand-numbering all 1000 copies. Once that is complete I'll begin sorting the various packages I will be sending out to our fulfillment partners in the UK, Canada, and the US.
Please Double Check your Address!
There will be a dedicated update letting backers know that the addresses will be locked down 48hrs before we do so. BackerKit will also issue an email blast.
Once I have everything on the way to fulfillment partners I'll be able to update the delivery timeline.
Thanks for your patience!
