Hey, everyone!
A couple quick announcements before we dive into fulfillment…
Wave 2A Address Change Cutoff
If you need to change your address for the fulfillment of Wave 2A, we would very much appreciate it if you could email us at support@succubuspublishing.com and let us know by Friday May 16th.
This applies to US backers as well!
Anti-Tariff Webstore Sale
While everyone is raising their prices, we’ve decided to do the opposite.
Starting next Friday, May 16th and running through Saturday May 24th , everything on middara.com will have a nice, sexy discount.
Ok, let’s get to it…
Wave 2A Fulfillment
Tariffs for Chinese imported goods into the US are still sitting at 145%. Super lame…
Regardless, we’ve got a plan on how to move forward with the fulfillment of this campaign.
Here’s where we’re at:
- All non-US regions, including Canada , will be fulfilled as planned. For Wave 2A, we’re shooting for a July fulfillment date.
- As of now, we will be storing all US Wave 2A orders in China while we navigate the tariffs. This storage has been offered to us free of charge, for up to 5 months.
We’re also looking into shipping all US containers to the nearest port that still has reasonable tariffs / fair storage costs. This is ever-changing, but if and when the opportunity arises, we will seize it.
No matter where we end up warehousing the US orders, we are looking into an option that would allow backers to pay the tariff and shipping fees to have their Wave 2A rewards shipped out to them immediately . This would be voluntary. You will still have the option to wait this out with us and pay nothing more.
This option is hypothetical, and reliant on many factors, but from conversations we’ve been having with fulfillment, it seems feasible. - As a consolation for these fulfillment woes, we will be providing all of the PDFs for this entire project available as free downloads on our website so you can print-and-play at home if you’d like. Additionally, we will be putting a professionally made version of the entire project up on Tabletop Simulator for free , fully scripted, so you can play online with your friends while you wait. Lastly, we will have all of our STL files available for download on the webstore too. These will be for sale—not free.
Future Webstore Plans
We have a small amount of surplus units of each of the products on Wave 2A which we will be shipping with the container for Canada fulfillment. This surplus will be available on our webstore. US customers will be able to place new orders for these products at middara.com to be shipped from Canada to the US. We still are not certain what tariff charges will be accrued on orders purchased this way.
The EU store will function as normal and will also be stocked with a small amount of Wave 2A products.
We will be phasing out the store in Australia.
Alongside the delivery of Wave 2A, we will have a brand new Adventure Pack for sale.
This product will be in stock in the US store and EU store. Meaning, this new product isn’t a preorder . It will ship to you immediately. More on that in a future update.
This product is produced in both the US and China and is small enough in scope that the tariffs will not spike the price up.

Wave 2B - Playtesting and Production
Production - Where Will We Print Wave 2B?
Well, we’re not sure yet.
If the tariff drops, then nothing changes. If the tariff remains outrageously high, we’ll need to diversify.
As we source new factories (of which there are many!), we’re finding that a good amount of the larger board game manufacturers in China have sister factories in Vietnam. It may likely be the case that our future print runs will involve some combination of production between the two countries, with the printed components and final assembly happening in Vietnam. We may be taxed on certain portions of the game like molds and dice, but not all of it.
We are also getting quotes and samples from factories all over the USA and all over Europe. Unfortunately, it’s quite clear that the factories in the US cannot handle the scope of this project. For some of the simpler projects we've been working on, it does seem possible.
To be clear, we are not giving up on delivering Wave 2B , quite the opposite. We’ve worked so hard to see this project come to fruition. There’s no way that we will be settling with just giving US backers free PDFs and calling it good.
Middara: Unintentional Malum - Acts 2 + 3

The playtesting for Acts 2 + 3 is nearing completion. All of the playtest groups are in the final few chapters of the game with our lead developer Ian following right behind them with their feedback. Most of the really tough issues have been ironed out at this point so we imagine the remaining playtesting will go smoothly.
Once all the feedback is implemented, we give the product one final graphic design pass and then we package it up to submit to the factory for sampling.
Pirates of Elenia Vol. 1 - Chasing Legends


Pirates of Elenia, Vol. 1 - Chasing Legends has been designed, dev’d by our team, laid out by our graphic designer, and is in playtesting now. Our alpha-tester has done a complete pass through the product, cleaning up all the little issues like typos, style-guide, rules inconsistencies, etc. Right behind him we have 2 full groups running through on TTS. They seem to be having a good time with this one. That’s what matters, right?
Mid-May (next weekend) was our goal to finish playtesting, which is next weekend. We’re hustling, but it’s going to take us another couple weeks.
Either way, we’ve begun to line up proofing and sampling of all the other products on Wave 2B so that no time is wasted.
