Shipping updates and a few pics!

All,
Some good news and some bad news. First, the good news is that Paragon is officially on the move and is nestled away nicely on a ship headed to the U.S.! The bad news is that the ship has been officially delayed until June 10th, and that will push the arrival date in the U.S. back until late July. The current estimate for final delivery to Midwinter Mages is August 2nd.
We anticipated some delays, but we understand that this can be frustrating, and we appreciate the patience and support. While these delays have gone beyond what we had hoped, we are happy to have the game looking great and on its way to us. Having the final product officially manufactured is truly something great for us, and we can't thank you enough for helping us see this vision through. We've asked for a lot of patience, but we believe it will be worth the wait!
Below you will find some images of the components(including a peek at the foil cards) before packing and the shrink-wrapped, final games. We have some other updates coming soon to the website and our social media, so stay tuned. And, as always, thank you!
Game Production Nearly Complete and Shipping Scheduled

All,
It very much looks like our manufacturer will complete the games on time and hit the 5/20 date. We've just received photos of the final products rolling off the printers and being packaged in the last couple of days, and we couldn't be more excited to see this coming together!
The games will be passed off to the local shipper on the 21st and then on to our cargo ship awaiting launch. We should have another update next week once we've confirmed with the shipper an ETA. It does, however, look like we will be able to begin shipping the games next month, and we very much appreciate the patience and enthusiasm for the game.
Please remember to head over to BackerKit and/or answer the survey if you have pledged. We have about 20 of you still left to go, and we will be reaching out to you individually next week if we haven't had a response by then.
Thanks again!

Surveys Sent!

All,
Everyone should now be receiving their survey, and we appreciate all of those who have jumped on it and chipped in with additional purchases and tips! We can't thank you enough.
We received an update from our manufacturer (HOPES games) and, after some additional delays with our customized dice, we are now set to go. This week we will begin manufacturing, and the current estimate is to have the game complete by 5/20. We are working with our shipper and believe we can have the game in hand by late June or early July, though perhaps faster.
Of course, as soon as we have the games in hand, we will begin shipping. I think we can say, barring any further delays, that Paragon will be on your kitchen table or at your gaming store by July. We appreciate your understanding of the delays (much of it is, as many of you know, is out of the creators' control at the production stage).
Please get those surveys in and let us know if there are questions or concerns.
Thanks again!

All,
The second smoke test is underway, and some of you will receive your surveys this weekend. If all goes well, the rest will receive surveys next week.
We should have another update on manufacturing this weekend or early next week as well.

Brief Update

All,
Just a quick update: Our smoke test revealed a slight problem with the shipping input, so we are setting it back up for another round, and the surveys will go out again this week. Thanks again for the patience.
In other news, we should begin manufacturing this week, and we will keep everyone posted as we know more.
Best,
MWM
