The long wait is finally over. It’s only a matter of days now, my friend. The new printer has arrived and installed.*
First successful test prints are already done.
Thank you so much everyone for your patience and support during these hard times. Love you, guys!
Now I will recreate the printing and paper profiles (which, of course, weren't compatible with the new model either, sigh...). I’ll also rebuild the printing process and get the printing back up and running as soon as possible.
All orders will be fulfilled in order they were placed. It will still take some time to craft everything by hand, and the queue is long, but I'll do my best to get the items to you as soon as possible. You will receive a note when your order is ready to ship.
*And no, as you may have guessed already, it wasn't that smooth — why would it be, haha. The printer went to unresponsive state during the mandatory firmware update, so a sweaty forehead was seen. Luckily I got it working again just by disconnecting the plug from the wall for a minute.
Support Sale Ends Soon!
As I'm slowly getting back to printing routines, I have to give you this little heads up: The Support Sale, offering a 15% discount, will conclude on August 31.
Order now and get this special discount off your entire order with coupon:
REPAIRSUPPORT15
Coupon is valid for a limited time. May not be combined with previous orders.
Every order is important
While, all thanks to my reseller, I dodged the bullet of Canon Repair Service which would have cost by their estimation about up to 1500€ to replace the old Pro-1000's logic board, I'm not on solid ground just yet with this one.
Your order will still support my work as now I have to restock and replace the unopened, but now-obsolete, old model's ink stack (total worth of over a thousand dollars, niceee), so each and every order matters a world to me. Thank you a million times, everyone!

Small Steps for Upgrades
Despite this three-month shit storm, I haven't sit on my thumbs all the summer. During this "spare time" I have upgraded things to be better for you.
New Shipping Options
This summer I finally managed to negotiate better shipping courier deals. They no longer charge an insane $95 for delivering an envelope.
So, for those who are interested to upgrade their "snail mail shipping" to a better one, like UPS, FedEx, Asendia, LSG etc., it's possible now. You can choose this option at the checkout. It will be paid later when your items are ready.
I'm also looking forward to add an option for easy shipping upgrades for previous orders later.
The prices are so random depending on where I'm sending to, that currently I have to manually check the costs for each order when I know its total weight. I will try to find the best deal for you, then I'll send you the bill covering just the shipping costs (which is easy to pay).
This means quite amount of extra work for me with each order, but I think it's still better to have multiple options, with tracking.
More details about these will be available in the coming weeks.
Redesigned Hobo's Arc Survivor Character Sheets II™ (for Gambler's Chest)
My customers have witnessed over the last decade my genuine appreciation for your support. This is reflected in my constant product redesigns, always striving for improvement.
This time, I wasn't perfectly happy with the Hobo's Arc Survivor Character Sheets™, so I redesigned them from scratch while I couldn't print them. Now the sheets are slightly larger and includes about 15% more information and room for writing than before. And sections are color-coded so it's easier to find the info you need during an action packed showdown turn.
I’ll probably need to recheck the price when I know their final costs — as they’re using now double the amount of photo paper, labour and ink (No more fitted two sheets onto one sheet of paper).
The new size is closer to the size of BGH books. And now they have something printed on the back side too! I love these new sheets!
Bonus Philosophy
The Philosophy Set will also include the new mini-expansion's Gatherism Philosophy. This extra sheet will be included on all previous orders too.
A new version 2 is already out before any copies are sent! How crazy!
Funny thing is, that these new character sheets are so cool and beautiful that I decided to call them Hobo's Arc Survivor Character Sheets II™ — the changes are so significant when compared to the older version. They’ve been thoroughly redesigned.
Ordering a set today is highly recommended. All sets on our order backlog will be upgraded to this new version for free.
Improved compatibility with other BGH products
These new character sheets have now more consistent style and content with my other products, like the Hobo's Settlement Book, Population Record and the upcoming Huntsman's Journal II and Villagers Expanded Edition (including Morgue records for a dead survivor — this information can be used without the expansion too, in case you are interested to keep book of your campaigns).
Oh, and did I mentioned already that I have also defined and slightly redesigned the Huntsman's Journal II's monster pages? Its better now, too.
> New product photos coming soon.

A MINOR NOT-PAID AD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO MADE IT HAPPEN WHERE CANON FAILED:
I’m not sure if they ship to Europe but if you live in Finland I highly recommend Fotoforma.fi for all your photography and cinematography needs. Their customer support is truly exceptional!
