Hello Bugventurers!
Ric here bearing Good News!
Those pesky missing Collector's Editions have finally lost the game of "Hide and Seek" they've been playing with our Shipping Partners in the UK! I can see that they're beginning to process and you should start seeing your Wonders soon! I'm told some of you received shipping confirmations already today!
To our supporters in the EU and the world beyond (Everywhere that is not US/UK/Canada/Aus/NZ), your orders are going out! Some of you have even already received them!
If you're concerned with your shipment, feel free to check in with me at [email protected] and I'll find what information I can for you checking in with our warehouse.
To our supporters in the parentheses above, if you haven't received your Wonders, please reach out to me as well. I'd love to figure out what's going on for you.
Thank you truly for your Trust, Patience, Understanding, and Support. It it is only because of Supporters like you (yes, You) that we are able to exist at all. Thank you for all that you do for us. -Ric

Hello Bugventurers!
Fulfillment Updates from Ric!
For our Supporters in Canada, Australia/NZ, The US, and most of our Supporters in the UK, you hopefully have received your wonders at this time! If you have not, please reach out to me at [email protected] and I'll sort out what needs to be done for you!
To our EU (and Beyond) supporters, I'm seeing reports that more and more of you are receiving your wonders! If you still haven't seen your package in a week or two please reach out to me (again, at [email protected]) and we'll get you sorted.
As foreshadowed earlier, we are aware of an issue for some of our UK Supporters. This update is specifically for those of you who opted for a Collector's Edition as part of their bundle. Unfortunately due to some miscommunications, our UK Warehouse is currently looking to identify the Cartons of Collector's Editions amongst their stacks. We're confident that they'll be found shortly and we'll be able to get your Wonders out the door to you soon!
In the Future, Mythworks is ensuring that, for all of our Variants, their Box Label will be a different colour to ensure that issues like this don't happen again.
Should you need to reach out to me for support, please first check your Backerkit to ensure that all Obligations have been met, it will make sure that I have a much easier time when figuring out next steps for you.
Please let me know if there's anything with which I can help. Deeply Sorry for any Inconvenience and Delay.
Thank you for your Patience, Understanding, and Support!

Pico Fulfillment Update!

Hello You!
Do you know how hard it is to arrange worldwide delivery by Pico Titan?!?
To our Supporters in the US/Canada/AUS/NZ, by now your Wonders should have come to your door. If you've yet to receive your package, please reach out to me at [email protected] I'll be happy to help figure out what's happening.
While doing so, Please check your backerkit profile to see if you have any outstanding obligations which may have prevented fulfillment! Sometimes something as simple as needing to update payment options is the pebble in the tread that throws off the cart :]
To our supporters in the UK, we've heard that some of you are now getting your books! For that we celebrate! Some of you have reached out to me by email to look into the status of your order (And Thank You for Doing so!), this made me aware that due to a miscommunication with our Shipping Partners, some of your orders were filtered as "On Back Order" and as such not yet sent. However, this has been addressed and those orders should be coming out shortly. If you're in the UK and haven't received your wonders in a couple weeks, please reach out to me. Again at [email protected]
To our supporters in The EU and Beyond! We are still awaiting a Customs Hold from the German Government to allow your books into our Shipping Partner's warehouse, and from there to your homes! We are sorry for the continued inconvenience and delay, but we are moving as fast as Bureaucracy will allow!
Feel free to reach out to me, once again at [email protected] with any inquiries. You're also allowed to reach out to me to share cool stuff too, like stories you've had with your play group. Though, a better place for those might be in our "Session Stories" Channel in our Mythworks Discord. Follow the link below if you're not yet a member! Feel free to reach out to me (EuphoRic) there if you have any questions, concerns, bad jokes, or Lyric Games.
Thank you for your time and support and curiosity! Ric Heise Mythworks' Chief People Person (And the Owner of the Fates of the Nekopolis, Luna, Lola and Kipo)

Books here, books there, books (almost) everywhere!

A quick one today, just an update on deliveries!
So as many of you will know by now, the PICO physical rewards have been winging their way around the globe over the last couple of weeks. And, as some of you who haven't had that particular doorbell-ring yet will also know, they're going to be doing the same over the next few weeks as well - distribution is a funny old game, and who gets what (and when) is largely up to a combination of geographical ease and the internal workings of various warehouse chains.
That's why I can show you this lovely picture, of the actual cats that inspired the three fates of the Nekopolis curled up next to Ric Mythworks' copy of the book...
... but I can't show you a picture of my own cat curled up next to mine. This is partly because I don't have a cat (unfortunately) but largely due to the fact that I don't have any copies myself yet (double unfortunately). I'm waiting, mildly impatiently, for the UK rollout to begin!
So on that note, if you don't have your books yet and others do, just give it a few weeks - it's almost all geography. And for the few comments we saw saying that their friendly local gamestore has a copy of PICO to sell eve though they, as a backer, don't have one yet, the only stores that have any currently are those that also backed the campaign (as larger, multi-book orders tend to be processed before singular orders by various warehouses and distributors).
But on a similar note, if a few weeks pass (think the end of this month) and everyone else in your region seems to have their copy before you, that's the time to reach out to [email protected] - delivery mess-ups do happen from time to time, so don't hesitate to get in touch if your mailbox is empty but your neighbour is silhouetted, laughing, in their brightly lit window, book in hand!
LANDFALL: IMMINENT

A quick triple update for you, piconauts!
It's all been a bit quiet here recently because, as you might have guessed, there's only so much you can say about books being on boats before it gets very, very boring. Sea travel may be pretty reliable, but it sure isn't fast.
And yes, the news is still 'books are on boats'... But there's an end in sight, and that's important!
LANDFALL
According to those in the know, the boats containing our copies of PICO should be hitting shores in the next few weeks at best, end of the month at worst (barring any hideous sea-based accidents). That means that distribution should get going right after that, with books and packages winging their way toward you backers with appreciable speed.
But how do those books look? Well, I even have an update on that for you...
The above images are direct from publisher Ray, who got the first set of final books expressed his way and had a chance to make sure that everything was on the up-and-up, and to take some artful shots for us all (as I don't have the books yet either, I'm in the same boat (pun intended) as the rest of you on that front).
But if you need something else to whet your appetite while paper crosses water, I've also done...
A FREE NEW PICO HAZARD - THE BLADEYBUGS
Complete with art from zkarab, the Bladeybugs (who are ladybugs with blades, as you might imagine) are a new hazard for you to use in your home PICO games. They're available for free on my patreon, with a link right to them HERE.
Bladeybugs are wandering swordmasters, taking inspiration specifically from the Gilgamesh design used in the PS3 era Final Fantasy games. A good chunk of PICO was written with a longplay of Final Fantasy XII on a screen in the background, for some familiar retro noise in my life.
Yes, I'm old.
But as old as I am, I hope you enjoy my terrible punnish name for this new hazard, and also that you get some use out of them during play - there'll be more hazards coming in the future, so you may get another poke in an update here whenever there's something you can grab for free.
AND FINALLY, on the subject of grabbing something cool...
I've mentioned it here before, but just in case you missed it you can head over to the Eternal Ruins KS page to either throw a pledge our way, if you think it's up your street, or to grab the free playtest document we've released. It's a Wild Words game, so the architecture will be familiar to fans of the Wildsea and PICO.
And so far, the campaign has done...
... REALLY REALLY WELL!
But there's still a little over two weeks to go. And to save myself some words here, if you want more info you can watch the trailer for it below!
Anyway, that's it from me - hopefully the next time you hear from me I'll be celebrating the first set of books being in hands, but I can only cross my fingers so much. Either way, hope you all had a good start to the new year, and you'll hear from me again!
