The truth is that I could mostly crib last month's update word for word and not be too far off. Printing is wrapping up, we are finalizing shipping arrangements with our three fulfillment locations, and the books should be on their way across the Pacific later this month.
I find the pending Pacific convergence interesting, if not actually symbolic. The Blue Planet books - all about the Pacifica Archipelago - should be sailing across the actual Pacific any day now, as I myself post this update from the coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest. Until they arrive, I'll just pretend every container ship I see might be carrying our long-awaited cargo...
GenCon
As mentioned in previous updates, I'll be at GenCon at the end of the month, and I'm excited to run a special backers-only game of Blue Planet. It looks like the session will be 6p on Friday night, with the location still TBD. A handful of folks have already signed up pending their schedules matching, but if you are interested in playing, send me a note via the Kickstarter message system. I will confirm with everyone on a first-come-first-served basis and let you all know by mid-July if you made the roster.
Excited to meet some of you and play some Blue Planet!

Thanks, everyone, for your ongoing support and patience. Recontact's voyage has been an incredibly long one, and at times, it's only been your enthusiasm that has kept the ship on course. You are heroes all, and I sincerely appreciate every generous pledge, thoughtful suggestion, creative contribution and kind word we have received as part of the project.
