Hello Salvagers,
We're delighted to announce that the entirety of Salvage Union has now been shipped out to backers.
With all of the physical and digital rewards on Salvage Union either with backers, or currently in transit, this means that Salvage Union is now fulfilled on our end! It's been a long journey from myself and Aled discussing Salvage Union on his kitchen counter, or at one too many nights at the pub, to sitting in our studio and typing up this update.
We worked incredibly hard to make Salvage Union as good as possible after we saw the huge support it received from the amazing community. (That's you)
This included expanding out the Salvage Union Core Book to 340 pages, from its initial plan of 200, with loads more art, Mechs, customisation options, an expanded Downing of the Atychos scenario, and really well developed mechanics for you to run Salvage Union campaigns.
We also expanded out the modules to nearly double their original size, adding more content to each of them including new areas to explore, and more Mechs and customisation option. Not to mention getting a soundtrack made, as well as an awesome STL and a bunch more Kickstarter goodies.
We know we had some ups and downs, and delays and we want to thank you for all your patience in that too. We learned huge amounts in this process not just in terms of game design, but also in respect to distribution, logistics and managing our growing studio. We are incredibly grateful how supportive and and understanding you have all been as we navigated everything we needed to do in order to fulfil Salvage Union.
We're also really thankful to our amazing team or artists, writers, playtesters and contributors including Hamish Frater, Alex Connolly, Francesco Silva, Mykell Pledger, Peter Lee and authors Diogo Noguiera and Luke Gearing, who Salvage Union would not be what it is today without.
We're delighted with the quality of the final books and how fun the game is to play, we can only hope that you will enjoy running and playing Salvage Union in the weeks, months and years to come.
We'd love to see pictures of your books and hear play reports. You can tag us on social media @salvageunion and join the Salvage Union Discord to be part of the growing community of Salvagers.
You can find more exact details on fulfilment below and when you can expect to receive your parcels if you have not already.
All orders in both Wave 1 and 2 have been dispatched from the Leyline Press Studio. Wave 2 orders in the UK have been sent with Royal Mail Tracked 48 so you should expect them within 3 working days of this post. International orders have been sent with Royal Mail Tracked International and you should expect them within 10 working days of this post. You will have receive tracking information about your order within the next few days. Please get in touch with us via [email protected] if you have any questions.
All US orders have arrived with our distributor who is currently processing and sending them out. Wave 1 orders have now all been sent out.
Wave 2 orders are in the process of distribution. You should expect them within the next 14 working days from this post. We have spoken to them and they're working on prioritising orders of Salvage Union to make sure you receive yours as quickly as possible. You will receive tracking as soon as your order is dispatched. Please contact us via [email protected] if you have any queries.
A reminder to everyone who has ordered the Salvage Union Special Edition. The Salvage Union Special Edition has a Dust Jacket that makes it look similar to the Salvage Union Core Book and can result in confusion between the two. If you have ordered a Special Edition please feel free to open the seal on your book and check for the blue cloth cover, or if you look at the sides of the book you should see the blue cover underneath the dust jacket. Of course if we have mistakenly sent you the wrong copy we'll send you out a new one.
Thankyou all so much, you've also helped us as creators realise a dream of publishing our own game and that's worth more than we could possibly express in words.
This also isn't the end for Salvage Union, we have a lot of plans in the future which we're really excited to share soon to grow the game and it's wonderful community.

Hello Salvagers,
Good news everyone. All of the Salvage Adventure Modules, False Flag, Rainmaker and We Were Here First! are with us from the printers and we're in the process of distribution. We're really happy with the print quality of the adventure modules, each looks entirely unique and is packed full of more Salvage Union content for you to enjoy and we can't wait to see them hitting the table.
More details of that and more below.
Wave 2 orders are orders that include the following below. Once Wave 2 orders are complete this Kickstarter will be fully fulfilled!
If your order contains one of the above you are in Wave 2 and will receive it as part of this final shipping wave, you will also receive everything else in your order including the Salvage Union Core Book, Special Edition, Salvage Union Dice and any additional games, as one package.
We're starting distribution in the Leyline Press Studios of all Wave 2 orders today. We anticipate all UK orders will be with backers by next week (starting 27/11/2023) and EU and Rest of World orders within 5-10 working days from this post. We'll further update when all Wave 2 orders have been sent out.
As with prior orders if your EU order has a VAT charge, please e-mail us with a receipt and we'll refund this amount.
To ensure Wave 2 US orders arrive as quickly as possible, we've paid extra to airship Wave 2 US orders to our distributor from the UK to the US, which are estimated to arrive in the US on 27/11/2023. Our distributor will be sending them out them as soon as they receive them, which will, if all goes well be during the same week. We Wave 2 Orders will therefore begin to arrive in late November through to December.
We're aware, whilst the majority have now received Wave 1 orders, that some Wave 1 orders are outstanding still in all regions. We're working on processing these and chasing it up where needs be. If you haven't received your Wave 1 order yet please do get in touch with us at [email protected] and we can follow this up for you.
An important note to everyone who has ordered the Salvage Union Special Edition. The Salvage Union Special Edition has a Dust Jacket that makes it look similar to the Salvage Union Core Book and can result in confusion between the two. If you have ordered a Special Edition please feel free to open the seal on your book and check for the blue cloth cover, or if you look at the sides of the book you should see the blue cover underneath the dust jacket. Of course if we have mistakenly sent you the wrong copy we'll send you out a new one.
We're excited to announce Salvage Union has been nominated for Best Art for the Dicebreaker Tabletop Awards (https://www.dicebreaker.com/tabletopawards). Which will be announced at PAX on the 2nd of December 2023.
You can support us by voting for Salvage Union for the people's choice award here! Votes close 27/11/2023.
We're going to be exhibiting at Dragonmeet in London (https://www.dragonmeet.co.uk/) on Saturday the 2nd of December 2023! You can find us in the Lower Trade Hall at Stand 43. We'll have Salvage Union for sale as well as our range of other games including new releases Foundations and Horse Girl. Please feel free to stop by and have a chat with us too, we're really looking forward to meeting fellow gaming enthusiasts during the day.
We're excited to announce Salvage Union will be available for retail purchase via the Leyline Press store (www.leyline.press) on 1st of December 2023. This will include both physical and digital releases of the Salvage Union Core Book, Special Edition, Rainmaker, False Flag, We Were Here First! and the Salvage Union Dice.
We're aware that some orders, specifically US Wave 2 may not be with all backers when we launch at retail. We know this isn't ideal, however the vast majority of orders should be with all Kickstarter and pre-order backers by this date. Any outstanding Kickstarter Backers will be prioritised over retail orders, so you will still have your copies of the game dispatched first.
We're currently in a position where we do have books we can begin to sell at retail, in the midst of an the most important sales season of the year. We've spent the majority of our funds in the production and distribution of Salvage Union, and both as a company and two individual creators we need the additional funds so that we can continue to exist as a company and honestly pay both of our own living costs during a period of increasing inflation.
We do however apologise to anyone who may be understandably upset by this, and really appreciate your support and understanding. We hope if your order is currently outstanding that the quality of the books, the cheaper price you've received your rewards for, and the additional Kickstarter rewards have made it worth the wait.

Hello Salvagers,
We hope you've enjoyed spooky season.
We've some good news. Wave 1 US fulfilment is starting this week. We've got some info on that below which we'd kindly ask you to read carefully.
Wave 1 US Fulfilment includes all Kickstarter orders and Pre-Orders via BackerKit with ONLY the following in them. Orders are NOT being split. They are being distributed in two separate waves based on what is in your order.
If your order contains ANYTHING not on this list, including the Salvage Union Adventure Modules and Salvage Union Poster, you are in Wave 2 not Wave 1 and your order has not yet been distributed.
We can confirm our US distributor Floating Chair Club (https://floatingchair.club/) has now begun distribution on Wave 1. You can expect to start receiving your parcels within the week following this update.
You will be notified by e-mail, with a tracking number, when your order goes out.
If you have any questions or queries please get in touch with us directly at [email protected] or via Kickstarter.
Wave 2 orders include orders with ANY of the following. Orders are NOT being split. If your order contains any of the below it will be sent in its entirety in a separate Wave 2 shipment.
Salvage Union
Other Leyline Press Games
The Salvage Union Adventure Modules and posters have been submitted for print. We're expecting approximately a 2 week turn around on printing. If all goes well that will mean Wave 2 Orders for ALL territories EXCEPT for the US will begin in mid - late November.
Other Leyline Press Games will be shipped as part of Wave 2.
We estimate US Wave 2 orders will be sent out in early December as there's some additional freight time to ship the books to our US distributor.
We'll further update when we begin to distribute Wave 2.
All of the Digital Editions will now have been updated to their latest version. This is identical to the version sent to print and also includes bookmarks for everything. We have had an issue with the name of the download being incorrect, but the actual file if you download it is correct. We're looking into a means to remedy this.
The versions are as follows below.
If you've ordered any other Leyline Press games, (Shadow of Mogg, Albion Tales, Andromeda and Mew-Tants!) via BackerKit you should have received the Digital Editions of them as well via BackerKit.
That's all for now. If you have any questions please get in touch with us at [email protected] or via Kickstarter.
Happy Salvaging.
Panny and Aled,
