Shipping (virtually) done!

There are still some international backers who haven't paid their shipping yet (as discussed during the campaign) and obviously some people are still owed print copies of the Skybourne books Andrus: The City of Men and Woodfaring Adventures (which haven't printed yet), but otherwise printing and shipping on this project should officially be done. If you haven't gotten your books yet, please let me know and we will figure out what went wrong and get them to you.
Hero Lab files are still coming, and since they're being developed out of house I don't have much more information on that, but I will let you know as soon as I know more.
Other than an occasional update regarding Hero Lab files and any other important news I feel needs to be passed on, I think this means that the Spheres of Might kickstarter is officially over. If you want to keep hearing from us, remember we do have a patreon, and I'm considering putting together a monthly newsletter, but such hasn't been finalized yet. We're putting out new product every week or two (our recent releases have been some new $0.99 pdfs expanding spheres of power you can find here and here).
Thank you once again to everyone who's helped us reach this point, we could never have done this without you!
Quick Note on Shipping

The Process for shipping is RPG Drivethru is tedious, but is underway. Some of you have already gotten your books, and the rest should be sent in this coming week. For those of you getting Spheres of Power hardcover books (except for international backers), your shipment should be coming in at least two groups.

Shipping Starts Now!

The books have arrived. There were some issues that required us to resend some files, but all in all the process works and the books look good. As a POD there can be variants with the quality of an individual printing, but we've tackled everything we can, and the time has come to get them sent!
As we mentioned in the campaign, oversees backers will be getting a paypal bill soon to cover the cost of shipping, since we didn't cover that during the campaign itself. Shipping will take time, but we'll keep you up to date and you can expect an email when your shipment leaves.
Thank you all. This has been a great experience, and we can't wait to get you the book you helped create.
Thanks,
Adam

The responses I’ve gotten back from my inquiries as been virtually unanimously in favor of adding SoM content to the patreon, and that makes me happy to hear. We have a few Spheres of Power handbooks handbooks that are ready to come out so it will probably be a month or two before anything SoM shows up in the pipeline, but if you wanted to throw your support behind more SoM content, this is the place to do it.

Now, in order to make sure everyone gets what they want, I will make sure to announce what books are coming out when, so if you are ONLY interested in SoM or SoP you can opt out of the other kind at your discretion.
Thank you all very much for your feedback on this. As a company, patreon is our favorite venue for gaining support from you guys because not only does it let us more easily facilitate the playtests that make our content better, but the cut patreon takes is significantly smaller than that of any storefront. If you guys like what we do and want to see more of it, I highly recommend checking out the patreon.
Thanks y’all. Hopefully next update I will have some concrete shipping dates for you and even pictures of book proofs to show you.
The Future of Spheres of Might

We're still waiting on the proofs for the print books, but hopefully it won't be too much longer.
While we're waiting, though, we've been talking about the future of the system and what, perhaps, you might want for it.
As some of you might know, Drop Dead Studios runs a patreon that funds handbook expansions for Spheres of Power. We've already released about 12 handbooks and are set to increase production on the rest to get at least one per month out from now on. We were wondering; would it be worthwhile to do something similar for Spheres of Might?
To be honest, running two separate patreons sounds a little bit like a logistical nightmare, but we would be more than happy to add Spheres of Might content into the Spheres of Power publication cycle (and, of course, Champions content that combines the two together).
So far the response to our initial probing of this idea has been positive, but I wanted to make it a more public discussion; if you are not currently a supporter of the DDS patreon, would you consider doing so if it helped fund more SoM content? And if you are already a backer of the DDS patreon, would you like to see SoM content added to the production timeline?
