Hello BGOTMC friends! We just posted this to our mailing list, but need to get you your discount info. If you already ordered without your discount, let me know and I can issue a refund or coupon code for the difference.
Now onto the info:

Hello everyone and happy... Saturday?! It's time for an update!
The loooooong overdue April packages are working their way out. We actually started shipping a handful yesterday. If you were a supporter as of April 1, 2018, you will be getting a package. If you joined later, don’t worry because May packages are going to be right behind them. The last item for May is about a week behind this one... and the last item for June is about a week behind that. So that leaves us with ...
2018-07-21 14:24:53 +0000 UTC View PostIn our last update we talked about setting up a Slack for everyone to join to discuss games, rules, set up online games, and maybe much much more as we dive in.
Most of all it's a very quick way to communicate and get a discussion going.
But as we mentioned Slack, it seemed like the majority preferred Discord over Slack so the best way to see if it works is to try it out!
Here's the link to the all-new Button Shy Discord:
As promised, the file folder is updated!

Here's a breakdown as to what is in there.
Before we get to Supertall, we need to get to the status of EVERYTHING.
April, May and June are going out together in an effort to get caught up. We've had to do this once a year before, and I always hope that this is the last. I am making all kinds of changes to avoid all types of delays, so nobody wants this to be on time more than me. So, expect all three of these to be hitting your mailboxes, in the next 3-4 weeks.
We have these ne...

Hello everyone!
Hope all is well. We have a few things for you today. Some updates and a new game file. :)
Our last set of packages went out over the last few days and should be arriving now. These are the March Packages, but we also sent them to everyone that was overdue, and waiting. But we are rocking and rolling and working to catch up. I’ve said this a few times, but I’m done with part-time work on 6/13, and we are absolutely getting ahead on everything he...

Hey everyone! I've been set on making big meaty updates, but if I can squeeze out some small ones, I will. So here we go!
These should have started arriving yesterday for all new supporters. We included a selection of fully playable games that we had around. Hope you enjoy them while we wait for the next packages to arrive.

Hey everyone, it's been pretty wild here (finally recovering from 3 cons in 5 weeks,a dn the impact on my home life after being away so much) and we have some things coming your way.
The next packages are March, which are here except for one thing, the Banned Books card. They will get here on 5/15, and the packages are shipping out immediately upon their arrival. I also ordered the Banned Books card for April, May and June so this doesn't happen again.

Hello Patrons!
Sorry for any delay in message responses. I’ve been at Pax East since last Wednesday and just got home yesterday afternoon. It’s been a full week of setup, convention and travel, and now I need to get everything assembled and into storage before the next con.
It went very well though, so it’s all worth it. It’s just such a small operation here that my inbox just piled up during the con. There are no cons for a long time now, so I’m working very hard to catc...

You should expect a package if you were a supporter as of 2/1/18. If you started after, you'll be joining in on our March package which is our biggest one yet (referr...

Board Game of the Month Club Update
Hey everyone, hope all is well. :)
Just a quick update here as we are in-between a bunch of things.
Everything is still coming together and we aren’t quite there yet, but I’m hoping to shave a few days off of each month to start to get these in line. I also started to put together a Kickstarter schedule for the next games. We will be going back to monthly campaigns starting in May, and we’l have lo...

Hey everyone, I promised an update every Friday and unfortunately this one is a quick one. But let’s get into it!
At this point, I believe you should all have or be receiving your January packages. The only holdouts are the international 2 month members, and yours will be heading out when the last bits of February gets here in a few weeks. Please keep me in the loop if you are concerned about your package not arriving yet.
Hey everyone! A quick text-only update just to say hello to all of our new supporters and give everyone a timeline of where we are with things. I said I was going to make sure that I post at least every Friday. Well today is the first of those, and it also happens to be the first Friday in March, so there's that. :)

Hey everyone, I have the details for the Button Shy Box for everyone that asked. If you want to order it outside of Kickstarter, (or extra copies of the box) it's $15 plus $2.50 for Canada and $5 International to help cover the shipping. You can do this on the Kickstarter campaign or through the link below. I'm trying to get these prices as low as possible, but the difference of order 100 boxes and 2000 boxes is considerable. Our short run order size doesn't allow for the big quantity disc...

Hello everyone! As we get the items for January Packages in, we are sneaking out a look at February. This was requested here, as some patrons might want to upgrade to make sure they are getting specific items.
JAN UPDATE - It looks like the packages will go out within the next 2 weeks here. We ALMOST hit January. Not quite, but we're getting there. :)

Hey everyone! Just a quick update here to say that the Oct/Nov/Dec packages are heading out!

Twin Stars: Adventure Series I is a collection of all of our previously released Twin Stars scenarios, plus an all new one just for the campaign. It probably needs no introduction as you've been getting them in your packages, but here's a quick intro.
Two cosmic adventurers are in a tricky scenario and must work together. By rolling and manipulating dice for special abilities and combos, you can be the one that guides them to victory.
It's a solo game and it requires that you provi...

We have been hard at work at not one, not two.. but three mini expansions for Universal Rule. Each is made up of 6 cards, and by the end it will essentially be a full standalone expansion.
