Hey everyone, we have some exciting news.
The tariffs are causing some funky delays here of up to a few months but just today we were able to make a swap that will allow us to get the June package out in July. Dionysia and Adventurous are with the US printer and taking their good old time, but the 90 day 30% tarif...

Hey everyone, this message is for all of those that chose the March featured Game: Movie Plotz 10 Year Anniversary Edition.

This post is for everyone at the <$18 reward levels. Just a heads up that last week or so the PNPs for the month went out, but the notification email only went to everyone at the $18+ reward levels. We adjusted the post so everyone could see it, but it didn't send out a new notification.
So here it is :)

You grab the well-worn controller and load your latest save. This is it: the final level. With only 4 runs left to escape the Hyperstar base and beat the game, you better get moving.
