[Financé : 100%] Glory to Rome BBox Edition - Kickstarter

Mi-juillet donc.
Ed est bien gentil, il a un vrai job tout ça ok. Mais à ce moment-là, on ne se lance pas dans un projet d’une telle envergure :|

Project Update #24: BLACK BOX HITS THE ROAD
Posted by Ed Carter / Jeremiah Lee Like
Another quick update - I just spoke to Jeremiah and he's now on the road to Origins. Everything arrived on time so the games (and all promo choices) will be available to pick up there from tomorrow onwards.
ADVANCED COPIES - ON THEIR WAY!

Americas: In addition to frantically preparing for Origins, Jeremiah has also got all of the American advanced copies packaged up and ready to ship - right now they're in his van, but he's promised to get them to a UPS store tomorrow, so they'll be with you extremely soon.
Europe: I also packaged up and sent out the European Advanced copies today (via Post.NL / TNT) so they'll be arriving in the next couple of days.
Asia / Australia: Still a work in progress - I need to get an update from Xu Bo / Christopher but right now it's looking like they'll be shipping early next week, with the regular sets to those markets going out shortly afterwards.
LOCAL PICKUP

To make absolutely sure we could get games to advanced backers first we sent a few extra sets to both Europe and America as 'safety stock'. Some of these are going to reviewers, but we will have a few available for local pick up.
More details to follow once we know how many sets we have available, but if you're in any of the following areas and wish to pick up your game early please let us know by emailing kickstarter@cambridgegames.com
Cambridge, Massachussets - Amber Ying / Factory
Ann Arbor, Michigan - Jeremiah Lee
Seattle, Washington - Christopher Rao
Saarbrücken, Germany - Heiko Gunther
Oxford, United Kingdom - Wake Carter
Amsterdam, Netherlands - Ed Carter
Stock is extremely limited and so for each location we'll prioritize requests based on the order we receive your email - please respond quickly to avoid disappointment!
A FEW OTHER TOPICS

Firstly, sorry about our sloppy email responsiveness throughout this project. It's an area where I've had concerns for a while, but I didn't realize quite how bad it had become until a couple of weeks ago when I had time to re-engage in the project.
Since then I've switched us over to an automated Email tracking system so that at the very least I'd know that every email coming in had an owner and was getting dealt with - we're still working through a few teething issues (e.g., "Yes - you do need to send an acknowledgement email for every change of address") but we're getting there.
Secondly, there are a few things that simply should not have happened:
1) Indicating that we were almost finished sending out the I.V promo packs to Rubble Backers when actually we weren't even planning to start until the rest of the promotional items (including Plato 3000) arrived. The false information got out due to a stupid internal miscommunication - stuff happens - but we should have done a much better job of correcting the misunderstanding once we realized what had occurred.
2) Our original schedule which had the Origins sets arriving in the US before the Advanced shipping games. Fortunately you guys spotted it before the shipment had been picked up so we were able to correct the issue - huge thank you to Chris Lacota, especially - but the initial plan was poorly thought out, sorry.
I also recognize that we're badly overdue with an update to stores and distributors - with Jeremiah and the team heads down getting ready for Origins I've not wanted to push the issue up to now - we'll aim to get specific information out sometime next week.
FINALLY
I've hinted I have some ideas about ways to make up for dropping the ball on this stuff over the past couple of months. It's certainly not the only thing I have in mind, but one thing I do intend to do - once the games are shipped and the dust has settled a little - is facilitate an open "Lessons Learned" session on BoardGameGeek, including the whole Cambridge Games Factory team to make sure your feedback is heard and acted upon.
Thank you for your patience - we've never produced anything of close to this quality before so I'm really looking forward to hearing what you guys think of the games now that we're starting to get them into backers' hands!
Cheers,
Ed Carter

Attention : les “advanced copies” sont pour ceux qui ont “kickstarté” avec “advanced shipping”. Les envois normaux seront eux envoyés plus tard et par bateau.

Un p’tit open the box pour voir le matos :

Enfin quelque chose de positif :mrgreen:
Les cartes respirent la qualité. Vivement !



J’imagine que c’est fait exprès, mais les icônes à moitié coupé sur chaque bord de la carte colosseum, je trouve ça particulièrement raté…

Y’a rien à faire je trouve ça super laid, c’est sûrement très ergonomique mais c’est pas beau :pouicvomi:

Moi je trouve ça vraiment très bô :pouiclove:. Le fond blanc ne me gène même plus, c’est pour dire !

Sans parler de laideur je trouve que c’est un peu “froid”.
Remarquez ça tombe bien, l’été approche.

Pas mieux :)

Simple, lisible, épuré, et totalement à contre courant de la surenchère graphique actuelle. J’adore !!! :o :pouicbravo:

En tout cas, ces photos redonne fortement l’envie de recevoir le jeu :)

C’est le tien ? :poufpouic:

J’aurais bien aimé !
Mais non.
On va finir par recevoir Zombicide avant GtR :shock:

Oue, ils vont également livrer les gens chez eux pour ceux qui avaient choisi la livraison en boutique et dont la boutique à refusé l’offre ou n’a pas répondu.

Bon ben ca fait 1 an et toujours rien.

Maintenant, ils se plaignent de ne pas arriver à gérer l’expédition des jeux :roll:. L’excuse précédente était que la moitié de l’équipe US est tombée malade en même temps.

Ca commence vraiment à devenir lassant…

Ça se fête. :mrgreen:
