Latest Updates from Our Project:
Salvage Union April Update - Salvage Union Digital Edition 1.0 released. Core Book sent to printers!
12 months ago
– Tue, May 02, 2023 at 09:36:38 AM
Hi Salvagers,
A big update today with lots of news on the project that we're excited to share.
Salvage Union Sent to Print!
We're delighted to be able to announce that Salvage Union has been sent to print! We are expecting a 2 month turn around at the printers after which we'll be moving to distribution. It's been a long journey from us both sitting and throwing TTRPG ideas around in at the kitchen table, to this and we couldn't have done it without all your amazing support, so from the bottom of our hearts thankyou. We are so happy to being one step closer to getting the physical book you've all been waiting for in your hands!
Digital Edition Released!
The final Salvage Union Digital Edition 1.0 has now been sent to all backers! We wanted to thank you all for your suggestions and changes. We've thoroughly updated the document, fixing errors and making a handful of final balance changes and tweaks as well as adding a piece or two of new art. This core book now represents the final edition of Salvage Union. We'd love to hear from you about your thoughts on the book and the games you're running or playing with it.
You can join the Salvage Union Discord to chat with the devs on the game directly and engage with the community. - https://discord.com/invite/kMwD2bWgtC
We've endeavoured between the two of us, our editor and the community to catch as many issues with the Salvage Union Core Book as possible. Some issues may still remain which can be unfortunately unavoidable with a book of this scale. If you do spot any errors with the new book please let us know and we can update the PDF accordingly. We don't want to flood the community with too many different editions of the game however, so we'll wait to update until we feel there's substantial enough changes to make the effort worthwhile.
It feels really good to be able to start fulfilling this project with the Core Book and we can't wait to hear all of your thoughts and play reports!
Salvage Union Open Table Game Sign Up
To celebrate the launch of the Salvage Union Digital Edition Panny will be running two open table games of Salvage Union on the Salvage Union Discord. (https://discord.com/invite/kMwD2bWgtC)
The games will be hosted weekly at two different times and will require voice chat.
Thursday from 7 PM BST - 10 PM BST
Sunday from 3 PM BST - 6 PM BST
The games are scheduled to begin in June on the following dates. We are aiming to run them through the summer, until around September.
Thursday 15th June - 7 PM BST - 10 PM BST
Sunday 18th June - 3 PM BST - 6 PM BST
In the games you'll play as salvagers of one of two different Union Crawlers, depending on which day you're signed up for, as they explore the wastelands, searching for scrap and tackling with corpos, raiders, meld, bio-titans and more. These games will integrate the upcoming Salvage Union Modules as well as lots of freeform exploration and play.
They are open, 'West Marches' style games, meaning anyone can join the game at any point, with drop in and drop out play welcome. There's no obligation to stay but your character will persist through the game and the Union Crawler will be upgraded as the group salvages in the wasteland.
We're taking sign ups now and will be going through Union Crawler, Mech and Pilot creation for those who sign up. You may only sign up for one of the games.
If you backed Salvage Union at the Corpo or Corpo Elite Tier we're going to be running a custom game of Salvage Union for you and your friends. We've sent you a message with more details and if you have any questions please get in touch.
Adventure Modules
We are still unfortunately delayed on the Adventure Modules. The editing of the Core Book has taken more time than we expected, and we're awaiting a couple of final pieces of art. The Modules are currently in their layout and edit phase as we work on making them as good as possible, and line them up with the tweaks we've made to the core book. We want to apologise for this as we've likely been too optimistic in respect to the deadlines. We're realistically looking at the end of June for the Digital Editions of the Modules to be out and we'll update if this changes.
Due to this delay we are opting to use a local printer, which will be more expensive for us but will be able to turn the Modules around significantly quicker than with the Core Book. This means we shouldn't have any significant delay to overall distribution as the Adventure Modules will still be ready around the time we expect the Core Book to be printed.
Distribution
By our current timelines we're hoping to begin distribution as early as possible in Q3 of 2023, we'll update closer to the time with more details on this, however we're now approaching your last chance to update your pledge and update your addresses before we lock them. There's also a small portion of backers who haven't filled in BackerKit yet, please do this before distribution if you want to receive your pledge.
If you have any questions in this respect please get in touch.
UKGE
We're excited to announce we're going to be at the UK Games Expo from 2 - 4 of June 2023. You'll be able to find us at the Leyline Press Stand 2-1128. We're going to be taking pre-orders of Salvage Union and selling our range of other games.
We'll also have a 'demo' copy of the complete, printed, Salvage Union Core Book, that we've printed locally. This is not for sale but if you want to come and see what the final book will look like, or just have a chat with us about tabletop games, please come and say hello!
We'll also be running games of Salvage Union at the event so if you want to join one of those come and say hi.
Phew, that was a big update! Thanks so much for all your support and as always if you have any questions please let us know.

Salvage Union March Update - Salvage Union Core Book Pre-Press PDF Launched!
about 1 year ago
– Mon, Apr 03, 2023 at 08:46:32 AM
Hello Salvagers!
We're delighted to be sending you all today the Salvage Union Pre-Press Core Book PDF.
This has been sent to all Kickstarter and Pre-Order backers via BackerKit to your e-mail addresses. If you have not received it please get in touch with us on Kickstarter or via [email protected] and we'll be here to support.
The Salvage Union Core Book contains over two years of work coming to fruition that we have poured huge amounts of love and effort into and we can't wait for you to dive into the book, hear all of your thoughts and see you playing games of Salvage Union. We could not have done this without the support of each and every one of you and we are both deeply grateful and can only wish that you enjoy reading and playing Salvage Union.
Salvage Union Core Book Cover
Core Book Editing Feedback
There's a window this month before the game goes to print for us to collect any editing feedback on Salvage Union Core Book before it goes to print.
We are primarily looking for feedback on any typos, spelling and grammatical errors, typography issues, and missing sections etc. that we can fix. We will also be doing a final pass ourselves along with our editor.
We have some scope to rebalance the numbers of the game if anyone has any feedback in that respect as well, however the book is now complete so we can't make any wholesale changes to how the game works.
As an alternative if you have any issues with these form please send feedback to [email protected].
If you have any more general feedback about the game please let us know in the comments, by e-mail or on the Salvage Union Discord (https://discord.gg/ppbS5xvCbQ)
As a note this version is the one we're getting ready to send to print. The final Digital Edition of Salvage Union will be further updated with any corrections as well as additional quality of life features such as bookmarks and any additional formatting etc, we will send this after we've made our final changes.
Printing and Modules and Shipping
We're aiming to send the Salvage Union Core Book to print this month in April after we've done our final editing pass.
The three Modules (We Were Here First, Rainmaker and False Flag) are in their layout phase and we're working on having them all finished by the end of April, with our plan to send them to print in May. This means we hope to be able to send you the PDF's by the end of April.
We're expecting a 2-3 month turn around in respect to printing.
This means we're anticipating shipping in Q3 of this year.
All of our additional accessories such as dice, patches and posters are ready to be sent out with their respective orders.
These are still just estimates and may fluctuate based on printing and shipping times but we are getting much closer to the physical versions being in your hands. We really appreciate all of your patience with us, we genuinely have been working to make the final product as good as possible and we hope the quality of the PDF you have received of the Core Book reflects that.
Salvage Union Open SRD
We're still focussing our attentions on getting all of the Salvage Union books finished and fulfilled, however Salvage Union will have an Open SRD which we will be working on as soon as we are finished fulfilling this campaign. With the Core Book out you may have your own ideas of adventures, new Mechs, Systems, Modules, rules supplements and much more.
We really want to encourage and support the community in creating Salvage Union Content, if you have an idea or something you're already working on and have any questions or want any support, advice or reassurances from us please get in touch with us [email protected] or jump on the Discord (https://discord.gg/ppbS5xvCbQ) and chat to one of the 'Union Council' who will be able to help you.
Salvage Union Kickstarter Games
We're really grateful for everyone who supported us at the higher tiers of the campaign and pledged for a live game of Salvage Union with the designers. We're currently focussing our attentions on the adventure modules but once they are complete and we've moved onto fulfilment we will be contacting you all to discuss arranging your games.
As a note you'll have a choice to either arrange a game with you and your group of friends for us to run for you or join a group of players who have pledged at the same tier as you. We'll also be running you an entirely custom scenario for these which we're really excited about.
Salvage Union Discord Games
We're also building towards running a series of games on the Salvage Union Discord (https://discord.gg/ppbS5xvCbQ) in celebration of the launch of the game. These will be in a similar open table format to our playtests and we'll be running the three Salvage Union Modules within them. We'll have more info on these soon.
Thankyou all so much again. This has been an amazing journey and we're incredibly lucky to have you all along for the ride.
Salvage Union February Update
about 1 year ago
– Thu, Mar 02, 2023 at 04:03:54 AM
Hello Salvagers,
The Salvage Union Patches have arrived!
What do you think? They're certainly vibrant, but these are of course before they're covered in all manner of grease, sweat and blood.
We're still hard at work finalising the layout on the Salvage Union Core Book and all of the adventure modules which is the final leg of this journey to get Salvage Union to you. We're really excited to be so close to that and want to thank you all for your support and patience.
Currently we're still on track to have the pre-print PDF's ready for you all by the end of March as per our timeline which we'll post again below.
We're aiming for the Core Book and all Adventure Module PDF's (We Were Here First, False Flag, Rainmaker) for the end of March 2023. We'll be sending them out to all backers and pre-orders at this time.
Once the Core Book and Adventure Modules are out there will be a small window before they are sent to print to get community feedback.
PrintandProduction - April2023
Once PDF's are finalised we're going to be sending the Core Book and Adventure Modules out to our printers, aiming for April 2023. We'll also have all the extra add ons such as dice, patches and posters prepped for this time. These have all been ordered and are on their way towards fulfilment.
Shippingandphysical rewardfulfilment - Q2 2023
We estimate the print and production process to take 1-2 months after which we'll begin to ship. This is also when we will lock addresses. Currently this means all physical rewards will ship in late Q2 of 2023. They may arrive in Q3 depending on your location.
This is also when we'll be aiming to prep the exclusive games for backers at the Corpo and Corpo Elite pledge levels.
This process may be staggered depending on your location and reward tier and we'll update as we go on individual progress. These are all also our best current estimates and may fluctuate.
