March Shipment Update

Hello, guys!
An important update for backers who have chosen the GER, FRE, and ESP versions of Nova Aetas Renaissance!
As we informed you in the last update, the production of Wave 1 in all three languages has been completed since the end of January, and we share with you photos of the boxes ready for shipping.
The good news is that despite the post-Chinese New Year rush, aggravated by the still ongoing crisis for the Red Sea routes, we managed to find a solution with our shipping partner.
We just got the OK today, and the material is expected to leave China on March 23rd. The duration of the voyage is estimated at 37 days, plus an additional 2/3 weeks due to the longer route to avoid the Red Sea passage.
We can therefore estimate that the ship will arrive at the port of Bremerhaven in Germany between May 10 and 20. The name of the ship still needs to be confirmed, as soon as we have all the final confirmations we will post it in the comments below.
That's all for today, we can expect that in the next update, we will start talking about Wave 2 and we can assure you that there will be amazing news for all Nova Aetas fans!
In the meantime, keep telling us about your adventures and if you want to continue supporting Nova Aetas Renaissance, you can do so by leaving your vote and review on the BoardGameGeek page dedicated to our game!
Before we say goodbye, we would like to remind you of an important date.
After more than a year since the last major crowdfunding project, Ludus Magnus Studio is back on Kickstarter with a new game: Requiem - Downfall of Magic!
Requiem: Downfall of Magic is a 1-4 player narrative campaign game where you will face unique quests and fearsome creatures. Requiem is a new chapter in the saga of the Nova Aetas Chronicles. Set between the exploits of Nova Aetas Renaissance and the events of Black Rose Wars: Rebirth, Requiem will take you on new adventures that will forever impact the world of Nova Aetas Chronicles and let you discover new details in the stories of some of the most famous characters in our setting!
The campaign will launch on Kickstarter on March 19th and all NAR fans will have the chance to get a new expansion for free: Istvan!
Istvan is a crossover expansion for Requiem, Rebirth, and Nova Aetas Renaissance. The grim mage Istvan will then be playable as a new hero in NAR, ready to be used in any campaign!
But the Requiem: Downfall of Magic campaign has more surprises in store for all Nova Aetas Renaissance fans... we look forward to seeing you all at the March 19th launch here on Kickstarter!
See you soon with the next update
January Shipment update!

Hello guys!
The ENG and ITA Wave 1 fulfillment is now complete, and many of you are already off exploring the mysterious world of Nova Aetas!
If you chose the ITA or ENG language pledge and have not yet received your full Wave 1, please CONTACT US as soon as possible and we will help you resolve the issue!
This update will therefore be dedicated to informing backers waiting for GER, FR, and ESP language pledges about the status of their fulfillment.
The production of all material is finished! We are ready to put everything on a ship to be shipped to Europe.
Unfortunately, this is not a happy time for sea transportation. In addition to the approach of the Chinese New Year, which as always brings some difficulties with the availability of containers and higher prices, something we had budgeted for anyway, there is unfortunately the crisis that has been affecting the Red Sea and the passage of ships through the Suez Canal for about a month now.
As you know, since the end of December, shipping companies have started to avoid the Suez Canal route for security reasons. Ships from China are now sailing around the African continent to reach Europe. This situation has had an immediate impact on transit times and a significant increase in container prices, now compounded by the Chinese New Year.
Until yesterday, we were looking for alternative solutions to avoid further delays, including evaluating rail transport, but both DHL and other suppliers we have consulted confirm that the situation is complicated at the moment and there are no valid alternatives.
The pricing situation is expected to improve after the Chinese New Year. In the meantime, we also hope that the crisis in Yemen will be resolved positively so that we can resume shipments on normal routes. We hope to be able to ship all of the remaining NAR material in the second half of February.
We regret this additional wait for our French, German, and Spanish backers, but on the bright side, they can now have confirmation that NAR has not disappointed the expectations of those who believed in this project.
The Italian and English backers have already started their adventures in the world of NAR, and the feedback we have received, which you can find on social media and related sites, has been great, which makes us very happy! We have invested a lot in this game, not only in terms of money, and to see players so passionate about NAR (even with criticism, always welcomed) makes us very proud!
We've collected a few photos that we've received and comments from players, hoping that those who are still waiting will be reassured that you will receive a great product!
That's all for today, see you in the next update!

Wave 1 Flash Shipment Update
5 months ago
– Tue, Nov 14, 2023 at 08:08:31 AM
Hello guys!
A very quick update on the status of shipments in the various hubs of Wave 1 for ENG/ITA!
North America - The Hyundai Dream cargo ship will arrive in port today, November 14th.
Asia - Fulfillment is underway and managed by VFi Asia.
Oceania - Fulfillment is underway, managed by Aetherworks.
Europe - Fulfillment Europe began fulfillment today. To speed up shipments, since the Core Box is already packaged in a single box, Fulfillment Europe preferred to ship only the Core Boxes to everyone first, and then ship all expansions in a second shipment within a few weeks. So if you get the Core Box, don't worry, all the other expansions (if you ordered them) will arrive in a second shipment!
As far as the FR/GER/ESP/POL languages are concerned, we have finished the draft checks of all paper materials and started mass production! In the next update in December, we will know the timeline for completion!
To add to the hype (if we need to), we are happy to share with you two great videos made by Adam from Weekly Game Night!
In the first video, Adam tackles the setup and tutorial mission of NAR.
In the second video, Adam starts his Campaign by playing Mission 0.0 (SPOILER ALERT!!) and the Rest Phase!
That's all for now, see you in December with a new update!

Wave 1 ENG/ITA shipment update

Report from the Spiel
Hello, guys!
New update on shipment status and much more!
The arrival of the HYUNDAI DREAM to North America is scheduled for 11/24 in the port of Savannah. All other ships have arrived at their destinations! This means that the final phase of fulfillment for ENG/ITA wave 1 is about to begin!
As for the other languages (GER/FRE/SPA/POL), we are in the draft reviewing process of the cards and rulebooks. This is a rather long process, given the amount of material that needs to be reviewed in so many languages, but it's going well. This phase will be completed in about 10 days, after which the mass production of language-dependent materials and final assembly can begin, with the expectation that everything will be ready by the end of November. We will continue to keep you updated. In the meantime, we have uploaded all the GER/FRE/SPA rulebooks to our Web App so you can start getting ready! Happy reading!
For those of you still in disbelief that NAR is finally coming, we have proof that it's all true!
Those of you who stopped by our booth during the Spiel days can attest to this! The Spiel'23 was the scene of the official presentation of all the material from NAR Wave 1, and many people were able to touch the fruits of these years of patience and work. The reactions were all super positive, and we can't wait for you all to open your copies and begin the adventure into the world of NAR.
First backer in the world to have obtained his NAR pledge
Some of the lucky ones who booked the pickup in Essen already have everything at home, and we are eagerly waiting for them to share their adventures.
We shook hands and thanked all the backers who stopped by to say hello and pick up their loot, a handshake we symbolically extend to all of you to thank you for your patience and support over these years of development of NAR.
Before we say goodbye, we wanted to give you a quick heads-up.
As many of you already know, we will soon be launching a campaign on Gamefound where we will make available 500 bundles of the English material that makes up Wave 1. Orders received on Gamefound will be shipped after fulfillment for backers and pre-orders are completed.
Despite the discount we will offer, the price of these bundles on Gamefound will still be well above what each of you paid. Compared to what backers paid for the original campaign, the difference is more than $100. You have waited a long time, but considering the result and the value of the product, we think it was worth it.
We want to reiterate that you deserve the credit for contributing to the birth and success of NAR, so we wanted to share this new adventure with you as well!
That's all for today, see you in November for a new update, but in the meantime, we want to show you the fantastic unboxing made by our friend Asia from On Table Boardgames, enjoy!
