The big shipment of books arrived and I'm packing up orders now!
Keep an eye out for atracking-numberemail from my postage provider.
I opened the first few boxes to inspect the shipment (always concerned about damages, or that I received the wrong books, or that the box is full of bees - I'm a worrier) and so far, the books look great!:D
Last call for patches...
As mentioned during the Backerkit survey, anyone who's also a supporter of mine on Patreon - at any level, even for just one day - will get a bonus Argosy Smith logo embroidered patch included with their physical shipment. So if you want that patch (and other Patreon goodies too), sign up ASAP!https://patreon.com/steveconley
And good news for digital-only/PDF backers: If you sign up on Patreon, you can have a patch mailed to you! (Free shipping in the U.S, international shipping is extra).
Free ebook...
And look for a Kickstarter message later today with the link and code for another free ebook for every backer!

Hi! I wanted to give you a quick update!
We're now just waiting on the printer...
I have boxes, and bubble wrap, andtape, and t-shirts, and patches, and prints,but no books.
I thought we'd have the books weeks ago but I'm still waiting on news from the printer. I've worked with this printer for years - they do beautiful work - and have never run into this kind of delay. Every indication is that this is connected to the supply-chain issues impacting printers and manufacturers everywhere. Sadly, the printer delays mean that I'll be shipping everything at the higher postage costs which kicked in this week. :/
I expect the next update will have "WOOHOO" in the subject line when I get a tracking number from the printer. :)
Another ebook...
As we wait for the printer, look for anotherbonus ebook this weekend! All backers at every level will be getting a PDF collecting the original three B&W Astounding Space Thrills comics from 1998...
And there's still time to get a patch included with your loot...
The delay from the printer means there's still time for you to sign up over on Patreon to get the Argosy Smith logo embroideredpatch included with your physical rewards. Support at any level will earn the patch. https://www.patreon.com/steveconley
I recently updated all my Patreon tiers so now is the perfect time to check them out!
And Astounding original art...
I'd recently been asked about original artwork, so I added a few Astounding Space Thrillsoriginal pages to my web shop. If you're interested, you can see them here: https://steveconley.com/shop/
Thank you again for your astounding support!
I hope to have another update with good news soon.
I can't wait for you to have the book in your hands! <3

Hi! I hope you're doing great ! You may have seen an e-mail from Backerkit earlier today asking you to confirm your address. If you haven't moved in the last eight weeks, you're probably fine, but it couldn't hurt to confirm your address - especially if you're an international backer.
I received the t-shirts today and they look great! Here's a video with proof...
Production update
We're just waiting on the last few items...
I'm awaiting the big order of books - I received a rushed partial order and I'll be sending those out to the "just the book" tier
I'm expecting the Brothers Hildebrandt art prints to arrive on Wednesday
The pins are currently delayed in transit. They've been sitting in Shanghai for a week. I'm expecting to wake up one day this week to find them on my doorstep. I'll keep you posted. This is a redone batch of pins as the first ones were made incorrectly. I demand perfection for my supporters! :D
And now, art...
And because I don't like to post without sharing art, here are a few of commissions I'm working on for Patreon supporters...
Book proofs arrived, t-shirt progress and patches!

I received the proofs of the books and they look alllllmooosst perfect.
I've asked the printer to send along another round with a few tweaks. I should get the new proof next week.
The printing quality, color, and finish are everything I could have hoped for! <3
The patches are in and they look great! The photos don't do them justice. The threads really shine!
If you're a supporter of my Patreon at any level, one of these patches will be added to your package.
The t-shirt production is going well with me badgering the poor sales rep to make sure everything is just right. (I want to make sure the logo sits on the chest and not the midriff or belly). This is a heroic logo and should go where all hero logos go! :)
I'm expecting the pins to arrive next week. I'll share photos when they come in!
PDFs links going out shortly!

Hi! Your downloadable book link is on the way!
Look for a message shortly from Kickstarter's system with insructions for downloading your digital/PDF copy of Astounding Space Thrills: Undersea Menace from the Year 3200! I'm so excited for you to get your book!
More Kickstarter news...
The production of the physical loot is going great and I'm expecting the hardcover proofs of the books any day now.
Here's a look at the (likely) final cover for the printed book. If something looks amiss in the proof, things might get tweaked.
I'll be sharing sneak peaks of the books and the other items (patches, pins, t-shirts, etc.) as they come in!
HUGE thanks to everyone who recently signed up to support me on Patreon! Thanks to you, I've begun work on a Compendium of The Middle Age (working title). It's a handbook, sort of a "who's who," if you will, of the major characters in The Middle Age.
If you want to become a Patreon supporter and see the compendium as it comes together, ask pertinent questions, and correct my typos, click here: https://www.patreon.com/steveconley
Keep an eye out for those download links and coupon codes shortly!
