NEWS, CONTEST AND A NEW ENCOUNTER!

Greetings Adventurers,
Borderlands and Beyond rewards are getting closer! The Shadow of the Seeker miniatures arrived in Australia this week and the U.S shipment (including rewards for Canada) are due to arrive in port next week. We should also hear soon on the shipment to the UK, which is due just a few days later. Meanwhile, books are being prepped to ship from PPHQ, so things are going to start moving out pretty soon!
In the meantime, we published a fun contest this week to help promote the upcoming Nightmare Empire Kickstarter (launching next month), and we want you to tell us (and the rest of the internet) all about your Iron Kingdoms RPG character! After a series of posts, the Iron Kingdoms RPG community will vote on their favorite character and its creator will receive an illustration of their creation as well as having the character immortalized in an upcoming IKRPG supplement. Full details HERE!
And if writing up your contest entry isn't enough to keep you busy this weekend, then have a gander at the latest Pendrake Encounter, just published today! (Although if you're squeamish about spiders, you might want to keep the lights on for this one...)
And don't forget to sign up to be notified when the Nightmare Empire Kickstarter project launches. We have a great Early Bird reward that you will not want to miss out on!
Have a great weekend!
FULFILLMENT UPDATE
almost 2 years ago
– Sat, May 21, 2022 at 02:28:12 PM
Greetings Adventurers,
I'm afraid my report last week was overly optimistic. While we've been on track to get things delivered early, fate has been making other plans. Most notably, our fulfillment partner in the UK is experiencing a very high volume of Kickstarter fulfillment projects. While we're thrilled their business is booming, this does mean that we're currently in a queue and the Borderlands project won't ship until around mid-June. The upside to this is that the miniatures should arrive in time to ship together with the books.
The book shipment finally arrived in our own warehouse yesterday and preparations for shipping them will begin next week. We're still waiting on an update for the shipment bound for Australia and hope to have that soon. So, all in all, we're still on track to be shipping in June, but I got a little ahead of myself last week when it looked like things might move out sooner.
We'll keep you posted as more information comes in and we start the process of shipping domestic U.S. rewards. Until then, have a look at this week's preview of the Royal Navy Adventuring Company that will be featured in the upcoming Nightmare Empire expansion. And have a great weekend!
SHIPPING UPDATE: GOOD NEWS BAD NEWS

Greetings Adventurers,
Good news for U.S. backers — our book shipment has been released from the Port of Seattle and is due to arrive in our warehouse next week!
The not-so-great news is that Covid-related issues continue to disrupt the supply chain, particularly for goods departing China, and we learned earlier this week that the Shadow of the Seeker miniatures will not set sail until later this month. They're due to arrive in Australia around June 9th, and should arrive in the UK and U.S. around June 15th. This is particularly disappointing as that's right around the time we were planning to launch the upcoming Nightmare Empire campaign and had previously been on track to ensure all rewards were delivered well ahead of the date.
However, rather than have your books and GM screens sit around for a month while we wait for the miniatures to arrive, we're going to go ahead and ship out the books as soon as our fulfillment services receive them and are ready to go, and as well, as soon as we receive and prepare the parcels here in the U.S. For international backers, your books as well as any cloth map add-ons will arrive in one shipment, and the miniatures will arrive in a second shipment that we hope will go out later in June. For U.S. backers, your books will arrive in one shipment and the cloth maps and miniatures will arrive in a second shipment later in June.
We apologize for this delay on the miniatures and maps and will endeavor to have everything to you as swiftly as possible.
In the meantime, please have a look at our latest preview of the upcoming Nightmare Empire expansion, posted today at PrivateerPress.com.
We'll update you soon when the books begin shipping. Until then, thank you for your support, and have a great weekend!
