Hi Pzykozomatik - I am sorry you missed our communications about the change and the reasons behind it - we tried to cover as many channels as we could...This panel was also aired as a pod castTalking of podcasts we were also on Hutton Orbital Radio and every customer who pre-ordered a copy also received an email directly to them explaining the move over to Kickstarter.Our message was also taken to various player group Facebook pages - like this one from Cmdr Vingtetun:'Originally, they were asking the Elite whether they wanted a copy, and taking orders. They even accepted orders from Mostly Harmless commanders but they had their arms twisted by all the NPC's out there (also known as the public) after UKGE and have been persuaded to extend it to a Kickstarter campaign as according to just about anyone they spoke to, Kickstarter is THE platform for launching card and board games to the public.So - next Friday - it goes live. All those who bought already have been given the option of transferring their original order over to the Kickstarter.What it does also mean is that things like the epic mats they had at Lavecon, plastic tokens instead of card ones and many other doobreys and extras are available as stretch goal options - meaning... dum dum dummmmmm that likely we'll get MORE for our pennies than we would before.We'll keep you posted, but in the meantime - best of luck to the team - they're on to a great idea and it's really fun to play.'
