Hey folks,
Here's a quick fulfillment update.
Thanks to all of you who sent pics of the zines, it’s really rewarding to see Skyrealms being loved and colored by you all.
We have roughly 30% of the zines left to fulfill.
Here are some details:
Deluxe Bundle
- US, EU, World: completed
- UK and Canada: pending
Standard Bundle
- UK: 50% done, the rest pending
- Canada: pending
- FR: Done
- World: 50% done, the rest pending
- US: scheduled (we’re shipping Standard bundles from the UK to our US partner next week, and then to you)
T-shirts

Give or take, I think fulfillment should be over by mi-October!!
Keep sending pics of the zines as you get them!
Thanks again for your support, you amazing folks!

Fulfilment Update August
8 months ago
– Sat, Aug 26, 2023 at 08:39:27 AM
Hey folks,
fulfillment has started!!! as I'm writing this some of you might have already received their package.
It's going to take a while to fulfill all the zines, because they were printed in 2 locations (US, UK), and are shipped from 3 fulfilment centers (US, UK, France), and we got a few boxes that still need to finish moving from one place to another.
I can't predict exactly what will ship first but here's a forecast, below shipping order, from first to last:
- Deluxe US
- Standard UK and rest of the world (non US/UK/EU)
- Deluxe EU
- Standard EU
- Standard US
- Deluxe UK and rest of the world (non US/UK/EU)
- Shirts
Let’s touch base in three weeks. The majority of zines should have shipped by then.
Take and have a great weekend!
Cheers
Iko

Hey folks!
Like you, roughly a month ago, I was expecting fulfillment to start imminently. A series of unexpected difficulties lead us to change our fulfillment partner. The process has been as unexpected as stressful, and is still underway.
Yesterday the zines were sent to me in France, and to a new partner for US fulfillment. Once I’ve received and assembled the packs I’ll fulfill EU orders and send the zines to the UK, where non EU, and non US destinations will be fulfilled.
US partners will do the same for US orders.
If you have ordered different items, for example a Deluxe Pack, a Standard Pack, Stickers, and a T-Shirt, these will be fulfilled separately for the sake of speeding the zines delivery (as opposed to waiting for all these items to be grouped).
I can imagine you are frustrated, I know I am, as well as anxious to get this done as soon as possible. Once fulfillment is completed I’ll publish a recap about this whole experience, a post-mortem, I figure it might be useful for other publishers/designers.
On the positive note, I’ve managed to get these pictures (below) from the printer, and the zines look gorgeous! I can’t wait to send them to you, and to color my own copy.
The next update you’ll get from me should have a big SHIPPED in the subject.
Thanks again for your support and patience.
Take care

Printed!

Hey folks,
Good news, the zines are printed!
There’s still some threading / binding to be done, but it’ll be over soon. This means we’re super close to shipping!
Note that we won’t ship for all the territories all at once. The Deluxe tier will be shipped to US backers first, the rest will follow. But don’t worry, before shipping, I’ll send you a reminder, and you'll also be given the opportunity to update your addresses.
Here are some photos.
Other cool news:
- The zines are being translated into Spanish by La esquina de rol. This means that soon there will be Spanish PDFs of the zine.
- Speaking of Spanish, Role Per Second, made a super cool readthrough/analysis of the game, showing how you can use the zines at the table, particularly the Almanac. You can watch it here Descubre Skyrealms: El juego de rol y zine para colorear de The Lost Bay Studio
- As you probably remember the Skyrealms digital pack has been released on itch, and with it a Skyrealms Jam has been launched. There are already several cool submissions. If you feel like it you can join the jam and the server and and share your own Skyrealms compatible content, there’s one month left, so plenty of time.
I’m super excited to be so close to the finish line! That’s all for today.
Take care
Iko
