Glory... Second Edition!?!?

Glorious backers, thank you for your Kickstarter support. You kickstarted a journey that is ramping up toward new content.
On December 20, 2020 everyone that ordered Glory received an email from Hogg Publishing. If you didn't get that email, I have news... In that email there was a video and a 50% coupon on our next production, Glory: Second Edition. Please check your spam folder!! Each coupon is a unique code paired to your original order. This offer is only for owners of Glory: First Edition (you). If you can't find that email, tell me and I will sort out a new coupon for you.
Second edition has 60% more content of every type- yes, including heroes, quests, and lairs.
So how come we didn't make an expansion?? We sold out of first edition so we had an opportunity to put everything into one box. I think this is green, un-greedy, and incorporates errata smoothly.
Here's a video explaining the thought process:
If that's not enough information... I've sent out ANOTHER email today asking everyone that owns Glory to vote on the Second Edition box art. Click on the survey below to have your say!

Product Arrival

Glorious backers, the game is in its final mile. After several realities and non-fantastic delays the final delivery of the product is before us. Estimating that most or all backers will have the game in hand Oct 28 - Nov 1. Delays could still occur at the warehouses, but there are far fewer possible delays now that the game is across water. It is manufactured, boxed, and ready to go.
As with the last update, if your life has changed such that Glory doesn't make as much sense, please reach out for a refund. Out of about 1100 actual pre-orders about 5 people reached out last time. It was a positive interaction in each case, so fear not.
I give you a bit more context in the video below, but the main point is that the game is here.
Cargo boat remains on schedule to hit NA and EU Oct 1

No delays on the cargo boat transit. There's been some bad weather on the oceans lately, some backers in the USA will know, but that hasn't affected our timings.
The logistics company (QML) provided me a hypothetical worst-case scenario of 4 weeks processing once it hits the ground. That's if customs is slow, trucking to the warehouse is slow, and organization at the HQ is slow. If there are no more slow spots on the logistics side, backers and customers will get their packages as early as the 2nd or 3rd week of the month. If we are unlucky, it could be in the first week of Nov.
Timeline of AU and NZ doesn't have any processing risk- it is skipping warehousing. An early boat opportunity was missed, although the overall shipment is not slower than elsewhere and still a little faster.
As always, thank you very much for being part of the journey! Can't wait for everyone to get playing.

Hold up at docks, but timeline is in

As per the last update, manufacturing is 100% done and complete. Shipping has taken some time to gather information from all the parts to put together a timeline. We did not achieve the scenario we were going for, basically due to unfavourable ship scheduling at the docks. With more foresight, getting certain tasks done (and understood) earlier, we could have had somewhat better chances. As it stands our final timeline for the product in customer hands is October. This is a 4 month miss of our delivery goal.
Although super-backers understand that this is common, we did compete to do better. Next time around we can fight harder for greater odds of a faster result.
HOWEVER: the manufactured game is great, the designed experience is great, and the art is great. I cannot wait to get it into everyone's hands. The final pieces have clicked together.
If the time expectations change the buying proposition for any backers or pre-orderers I'm happy to get a same day or next day refund no questions. I would like to give the best chances of favourable feedback for the game, and that means I'd like to have as many people happy and aligned with the philosophy and efforts of Hogg Publishing as possible! Also to this effect, we've provided free content while the delays occurred in the form of 4 1-player scenarios. If anyone has an interesting request for other content, if viable I'll have a go at it and also release it for free on the home website. So please send me a message if you have an inspiration :)
The vlog below explains the situation and my perspective on it in greater detail.
Thank you so much for your patience and support. You'll get my honest best effort at Glory come the start of this Fall.

Manufacturing is done as of today

Glorious backers- the game is made, assembled, and boxed. To my eye, it looks good.
From here email chains are furiously flying through my inbox getting from the factory doors to the docks. Their might be an opportunity to get it to Australia and other nearby countries straight from factory, so I'm checking that out with Quartermaster Logistics. I'm waiting with bated breath for the final timeline on cargo shipments over ocean, using real dock schedule, trucking, boating, and warehousing. No doubt my next update will be the consolidated, clean information regarding this. But the game is made, and it's coming.
1 player scenarios are done and complete! Happy with the result. Discussed a little bit in the vlog, below. Thanks to the backers that pushed for this- it is not something I expected to do, and it was a great experience.
