February 1, 2022: Kickstarter Reports, February 2022 Update

At the moment, the majority of our open Kickstarter campaigns are either in the fulfillment process or about to move into the fulfillment process, with only one project (Hexagram #9, now funding) still in the pre-printing stage. We're finding that even the "easy" projects that we print in the U.S. —  Random Fun Generator 2 , I see you! — aren't exactly all that simple. (Fortunately, we planned for supply issues and set an estimated delivery date that bought us the time we needed to deal with printing delays.) Basically, there is no fast, reliable printing option at the moment, and everywhere you go, you may encounter delays.

Please follow us on Kickstarter — Steve Jackson Games and Warehouse 23 — to receive notice when we launch new campaigns.

This project has been years in the making (no joke; the earliest discussions happened way back in the mid-2010s), and it is great to see everything finally coming together. What's the new game? You can be certain we'll have a lot to say about this one just as soon as the Kickstarter landing page is ready and we've secured the last of the necessary approvals.
