Salvage Union June Update
11 months ago – Sun, Jul 03, 2022 at 09:24:56 AM

Hello Salvagers,

We hope you're enjoying your summer. Some updates for you below.

Backerkit & Pre-Orders

We're working on getting both Backerkit and pre-orders up and running. We apologise for the delay in this respect there's been numerous factors that have slowed it down, ultimately we're attempting with the current global climate to make the shipping costs as fair and accurate as possible for you.

If all goes well we should have this all done by the mid-July and hopefully earlier and we'll update you all on that then.

UKGE

It was fantastic seeing all you Salvage Union fans at UKGE. We hope you're enjoying your physical Quick starts and had a good time at the convention. We had a great time ourselves and the show felt like a real return to form for this amazing community. Granted we were knackered afterwards but it was well worth it.

Free Salvage Union 1.5 Quickstart

As a reminder you can download the Salvage Union updated 1.5 Quickstart for free.

You can download the Digital Edition (PDF) for free here.

You can also download it from DriveThruRPG here 

The new 1.5 Quickstart contains a sample of the currently updated rules of the game. This includes a new Salvaging system, some new Mechs, Systems and Modules. It also includes  6 premade Mechs and Pilots and the Downing of the Atychos Scenario as well as all of the core rules of the game all updated with our new rules framework. 

Do let us know your thoughts!

Playtests

Thankyou to all those who have contacted us in regards to playtests so far. We're a little delayed on these as well but are hoping to get them started in July. We'll contact anyone directly who has got in touch with us about them and if you are interested in them please do message us on Kickstarter or message Panny on the Discord. (https://discord.gg/ppbS5xvCbQ)

Tabletop Gaming Live

The next convention we will be at is Tabletop Gaming Live from the 17-18 of Manchester. 

More info on that here - https://www.tabletopgaming.co.uk/information/tabletop-gaming-live 

We'll be offering the same promotion of a free physical Salvage Union 1.5 Quickstart to all physical backers who have not yet got a copy as well as everyone who pre-orders with us on the day. We hope to see those of you who can make it there!

Salvage Union Progress

Salvage Union is progressing well. The Core Book is effectively finished now and is going through it's last stage of edits. The modules are well underway too and we're still on schedule. Artwork and production is progressing as well, we've had some fantastic Mech art of the 30 new Chassis in the core book which we can't wait to start sharing with you soon.  

Thankyou all for your support and patience.  As always if you have any questions please get in touch with us via e-mail ([email protected]) or Kickstarter. You can also follow us for additional updates and get in touch via our various channels below.

Salvage Union May Update
about 1 year ago – Wed, Jun 01, 2022 at 02:57:38 AM

Hello Salvagers,

An exciting update today with lots to share.

Salvage Union 1.5 Quickstart

The Salvage Union 1.5 Quickstart is ready! 

You can download the Digital Edition (PDF) for free here. 

The new 1.5 Quickstart contains a sample of the currently updated rules of the game. This includes a new Salvaging system, some new Mechs, Systems and Modules. It also includes as the original Quickstart 6 premade Mechs and Pilots and the Downing of the Atychos Scenario as well as all of the core rules of the game.  

It would be great to hear all of your thoughts and feedback on the new rules.

We'll be arranging playtests this month of both the Quickstart and the new campaign mode, thanks to everyone who has already contacted us in regards to these, we'll be getting in touch soon to arrange dates and times. If you're interested in playtests please join the Discord (https://discord.gg/ppbS5xvCbQ)  and get in touch with Panny or any other admin. 

UKGE

We're excited to be at the UK Games Expo this weekend from Friday the 3rd of June to Sunday the 5th of June. We'll have a range of our games to sell and you can come over and have a chat too. You can find us at Stand 1-367.

Physical copies of the Salvage Union 1.5 Quickstart will be available for free for anyone who has backed Salvage Union at any physical tier and joins us at the Leyline Press UKGE Stand 1-367. Just ask and we'll give you a copy. We'll also be taking direct pre-orders at UKGE and if you pre-order at the convention you'll get a free copy of the 1.5 Quickstart. 

Backerkit

We're in the process of finalising BackerKit, there's unfortunately been a slight delay.  Due to the current climate there's a lot of fluctuation in shipping prices.  We are working out with BackerKit the best way to move forwards so that the price you pay accurately reflects where the shipping costs will be when your items are shipped.  We are hoping to have BackerKit up in June and will post an update when it's live and give you more details then.

Salvage Union Progress

The Salvage Union Core book, as well as all of the modules are currently in the writing and editing stage as per our schedule. Art is concurrently being worked on ready for layout and the next stages of production. We've got our nose to the grindstone on it all but it's coming together well. 

Thankyou all so much for your continued support. As always if you have any questions please get in touch with us via e-mail ([email protected]) or Kickstarter. You can also follow us for additional updates and get in touch via our various channels below.

Salvage Union April Update
about 1 year ago – Thu, Apr 28, 2022 at 12:42:13 PM

Hello Salvagers,

We hope you're all keeping well as spring approaches.  Things are going well and all on track with Salvage Union.

Salvage Union Progress

The writing of the core Salvage Union core rulebook as well as the modules is all well underway. We're also in the process of commissioning artwork and assets and getting that all ready to coincide with the copy being complete.

The early draft of the Core Book itself has been sent to our editor and is being worked on by us all as we refine multiple aspects of the game ready for the final book. We're really excited and proud of the work we've done to flesh out Salvage Union in respects to its lore and mechanics and can't wait to get it in your hands.

Salvage Union Quickstart 1.5

We're also excited to announce that this summer we're going to launch an updated version of the Salvage Union Quickstart.  We're hoping for this to be ready by the 3rd of June to coincide with the UK Games Expo which we will be attending this at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham.

The updated Quickstart 1.5 will take a similar form to the current Quickstart with premade mechs and pilots and the Downing of the Atychos scenario but will be updated with all of the rules to be in line with our current revisions.

This will be available publicly for free as a PDF and backers will receive this first as a priority. 

We will also be giving away a limited amount of free copies of the physical version of the updated Quickstart 1.5. These will be given to anyone who has backed the project, or who pre-orders Salvage Union from us and visits us in person at the UK Games Expo Convention In Birmingham on 3-5 June. 

Leyline Press Conventions

We've got a lot of great conventions line up this year .

As noted we will be at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham for the UK Games Expo on the 3 - 5 of June. You can find more info about UKGE here.  - https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/

We will also be at Tabletop Gaming Live on Sunday 18 September at the Manchester Victoria Warehouse. You can find more info about Tabletop Gaming Live here - https://www.tabletopgaming.co.uk/information/tabletop-gaming-live

Finally we'll be at Dragonmeet this year planned for Saturday 3rd December. You can find out more info here - https://www.dragonmeet.co.uk/

Anyone who visits us at these conventions and has backed the project or pre-orders will also be given a free physical copy of the 1.5 Quickstart. 

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Salvage Union Playtests

To coincide with the launch of the 1.5 Quickstart we will be running more playtests on the Salvage Union Discord this summer.  We'll be running both one shot playtests with the updated Quickstart and also another round of Campaign Mode playtests which will test out the update Mech and Pilot creation rules as well as how campaign mode plays out in a micro-campaign running around 3 sessions. 

If you're interested in signing up join the Salvage Union Discord where we'll be announcing the full playtest schedule and taking sign ups next month. You can message panny#1138 on the Discord with any questions directly.
