Time to double-check your shipping address!

Hey all,

The print copies of Suburban Consumption of the Monstrous will be arriving in our US & UK warehouses in the next two weeks. The latest shipping estimates put the ETA for the UK shipment around July 4th, and the ETA for the US shipment is around June 23rd. That means we will shortly be fufilling the final remaining rewards! Please check your Backerkit details and make sure the address listed there is correct; if you need to make any changes, drop us an email to [email protected].

We'll start to send out PDF rewards the first week of July; again, these will be added to the Pelgrane and DriveThru accounts for the email address we have on Backerkit for you, so let us know if that needs to change.

Banana posted some great photos of their print proof copy on Twitter:

I'll post another update once we've started shipping to let you know when you can expect your books. 

Until next time,

Print proofs approved!

Hey all,

After a bit of back-and-forth with the printer on the final print files, we've finally received and approved the print proofs, and we're REALLY excited about the book now! I haven't used the dust jacket's transparent vellum paper before so I was a bit nervous about it, but it adds a real classiness. :D

The colours of Sadia's cover really pop in print. It looks so good!

And the colours of the interiors are really vibrant, too!

And now that we've approved the proofs, we're very close to being able to confirm a ship date. The printing and shipping to our US & UK warehouses will take around eight weeks, so we're looking at shipping everything - books and add-ons - to you all in mid-June.  We'll send out an email around two weeks before we ship to confirm the date and that we have the correct shipping address for you, so keep an eye out for that!

Until next time,

Digital fulfilment on Backerkit & DriveThruRPG
over 1 year ago – Mon, Dec 12, 2022 at 03:31:15 AM

Thanks for your patience, everyone! You should have emails from Backerkit & DriveThruRPG confirming your digital downloads are now available - including the stunning final Suburban Consumption of the Monstrous PDF! We're so excited to hear what you think.

I'm in the process of importing the orders to the Pelgrane Press webstore, so you'll get an email when confirming that's finished later this evening. I don't have the Jiangshi print & play files yet, so for those of you waiting for those, I'll be in touch once I've added those for you.

If the email address we have for you isn't the one you have attached to your DriveThru or Pelgrane Press accounts, please get in touch with us at [email protected] and we can redirect your download links.

Until next time,

Sample spread 2

We'll be shipping out digital rewards and physical add-ons from next Monday, November 14th. 

To that end, we've locked your Backerkit orders with a final notice. This will give you enough time to make any last minute changes to your order. This includes a last chance to add any add-ons, as well as updating your shipping address for your rewards. After 48 hours, all orders will automatically be locked, so jump in with any changes quickly!

Until next time,

Awards season and credit name update
over 1 year ago – Mon, Sep 05, 2022 at 11:26:43 AM

Before we get started, a big shout-out to Suburban Consumption writer/designer Banana Chan, and artist & layout designer Ruby Lavin, who both took home a number of 2022 ENnie awards! Ruby won awards for her excellent art and art direction on Wanderhome at Possum Creek Games, and Banana won for the fantastic Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall, Dune: Adventures in the Imperium, and Questlings: RPG.  Congratulations to Banana, Ruby, and all the other winners!

  • I've now locked down the Suburban Consumption Backerkit. You can still update your shipping address until we've got confirmation of the shipping date for the books. If you need to make other changes, email us at [email protected], and Becky will help you out.
  • If you haven't yet completed your Backerkit survey, please do so now, so we can make sure you're included in our shipping lists!
  • As there are still a number aliases on our list for the Suburban Consumption credits, I've extended the deadline for updating your name, and emailed you confirming the name we've currently got listed for you. If you want to change this, please email us at [email protected] before Friday, September 9th.
  • Once we've got the credits confirmed, Ruby will be able to finalise the layout and we can get the book to the printer. 

Until next time,

~Cat
