Greetings, Empyrean Society members. Thank you for a great first day!
We at Strange Owl Games appreciate all your comments, questions, and feedback. Thank you for the suggestions about where to advertise this Kickstarter! Watch for those posts later this week. We wanted to share this—The Steampunk Explorer already picked up and ran an article on our Kickstarter!
We have more to share, both now and in the upcoming weeks, including a new interview with Space 1889: After designer and writer, Rachel Savicki! Today’s big news is that we heard your requests and are adding new tiers and add-ons for physical books! Both the Empyrean edition and the 5e version are available! Don’t worry about your Launch Day specials—we’re providing a way to add on physical copies so you can maintain your original pledge.
Initially, these physical copies will be print-on-demand; however, if we get at least 1,000 backers for a physical book, Studio 2 will publish an offset printing of the book instead. If you want a physical book, add it on to your pledge! This gets us closer to the goal and helps us keep track of our book orders for the Studio 2 offset print run. We are additionally adding a Retailer tier for the books, so if your FLGS is interested in Space 1889: After, let them know they can preorder the books by backing the Kickstarter and get them before they are available for distribution.
Watch for more updates in the upcoming weeks. We plan to share more art and information about the game and setting, and reveal new and exciting stretch goals!
