Latest Updates from Our Project:

March Update Starter Set & Airecon!
10 days ago – Wed, Mar 04, 2026 at 03:33:16 AM

Hello Salvagers,

A short update just to let you know current progress.  The Reclamation of the Wastes Campaign Book as well as all of the other Starter set handbooks are finished in layout and currently with our editor. The phamplets are all written and in final layout currently and being prepped for final editing as well.

We are hoping for all edits to be finished by the end of March, with a full PDF release for early April at this stage. We still don't want to promise anything specifically as this process takes time, and we're already far behind our initial estimates, which we do still apologise for and appreciate your patience in.

Once PDF's are released we'll have around a weeks period where we take any final proofing mistakes we may find from the community and fix them, then get it to print as soon as possible, by our current estimates within April. All of our production and distribution is lined up and ready to go as soon as we send final files, with printing estimated at around 3 months and distribution at 1-2 months.

Airecon

We'll be at Airecon at the Harrogate Convention Centre UK from the 13th of March at Booth C15, if you're there please come and say hi!

Thankyou again for all your patience and understanding with the delays. If you have any questions please get in touch.

Backerkit Smoke Test Launched
3 months ago – Thu, Dec 11, 2025 at 01:51:00 AM

Hello Salvagers,

We're happy to announce that we've just sent out the initial smoke test for BackerKit Pledge Manager. Around 5% of you will have received surveys at this stage to test that everything is working correctly. Once that's done and we've resolved any potential issues that may arise, we'll be sending out surveys to all backers. We'll also be launching pre-orders once surveys have been sent out.

You'll be able to update your address details, change your pledge, and add any additional items you want to your pledge.

We're at a stage on the project now where we feel confident to launch, with our goal to get finalised PDF's out by the end of this month or into January, and then everything then sent into production as soon as possible.

As we noted in our previous updates unfortunately shipping prices have increased beyond our initial estimates. This will primarily affect US backers due to the increased cost of US tariffs on goods from China, however freight and ground shipping have also increased due to global volatility, and various other factors, meaning shipping for the majority of backers has gone up.

We've done everything we can to keep these costs as low as possible and bare what cost we can ourselves, however there's only so much we could do before risking the entire project simply doesn't get fulfilled due to not being able to pay for additional tariff costs, and increased shipping costs, which weren't part of our initial estimates.

We also looked into production options beyond China, however not only were our partners at Panda Games the most cost effective option, but also the best in terms of both quality, and production, other companies for example weren't able to produce a box set, and place dice in them, meaning we'd have to order those elements separately, and assemble them ourselves, or find another company to assemble them.

Meaning if we'd chosen another option, costs would have increased regardless from increased production costs, quality would have been worse, and production would have been slower, with us potentially not being able to include things like the dice, or sticker sets, which we felt would be much worse than increasing shipping costs but delivering our original promised game to all backers.

Going forwards we will be avoiding box sets and primarily focus on creating books which are free from tariffs, until at least the tariff situation in the US is no longer an issue, it was unfortunate timing that we opted now to do our first ever boxed set game given the current political turmoil.

We hope you can understand in that respect, we appreciate your patience, and support, and can't wait to get the game into your hands. If you have any questions please get in touch.

Thanks and happy salvaging,

Hello Salvagers,

Thanks for your continued patience with us on this project. We are still hard at work getting everything we need to the finish line on the Starter Set. We can't promise anything at this stage, as we don't want to end up disappointing, but we are aiming to get PDF's out by the end December, as well as BackerKit Pledge manager, and pre-orders and then move to production.
