Moongate Surveys in Your Mailbox
Surveys have been released for Through the Moongate, from Wing Commander and Ultima VII to Portalarium. This means that people who pledged for the book on Kickstarter can now go in and confirm their addresses for shipping. There are two big points associated with this, however. First, the team has made it super easy to add supplemental items. Fans can add €30 for a cool piece of cloth art that includes a Kilrathi warrior and Dralthi fighter. It's also just €3 to add one of Denis Loubet's Wing Commander bookmarks! You can even put in €6 for two more. These are only available via this campaign, so I would take all you can get of this awesome collector's item!All artworks are done. The back cover by Manda is ready and beautiful with a lot of references to the history of Origin Systems Inc. It will be printed on every edition of Part II and it will also be printed on cloth. Also Denis Loubet's artwork, the Wing Commander themed bookmark, only needs to be printed as well. Through the Moongate patches are ready; Edward Vitralis prepared the artwork and executed the production.Lastly, production of certain items in China has been severely limited by the coronavirus outbreak, and this has affected the project. Things appear to be moving forward, but it's hard to predict an exact shipping date because of this. What's more, author Andrea Contato lives right outside the Italy quarantine zone where a large outbreak is taking place, which adds plenty of additional stress and potential obligations. Coincidentally, both LOAF and I - on opposite coasts in the US - have confirmed active cases of the virus in both of our own hometowns, so we can certainly sympathize. Stay safe out there everybody!
As you may know, Andrea, the author of Through the Moongate, lives in Bergamo, Italy, near the quarantined zone. The good news is that Andrea and his family are ok.It's impossible, right now, to estimate how this crisis will evolve and affect the fulfillment of this Kickstarter with shipping and trade restrictions. We all hope that it will be over soon; meanwhile, we are doing everything we can to complete every production step, knowing that we still have a lot of time before shipping the books.
