Here's the note sent by the Exalted Funeral regarding the Dolmenwood kickstarter:First the link for those who can access the Kickstarter page directly:<a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/exaltedfuneral/dolmenwood-tabletop-rpg/posts/4364549" target="_blank">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/exaltedfuneral/dolmenwood-tabletop-rpg/posts/4364549</a>And for those who don't use the link:[SPOILER="text of April 2025 Dolmenwood update"]April Updateuser avatarExalted Funeral CreatorApril 18, 2025Hello Everyone!Regarding the general state of things given recent world economic news, we want this update to be as transparent as possible.Tariff UpdateAs many of you are well aware there has been a seismic shift in international trade regarding tariffs and general price increases for goods.If you have not seen our newsletter already let us reiterate that Exalted Funeral is committed to bringing you the best in independent gaming. That includes all of our past commitments and future endeavors. Here is the statement that was sent out:Art in it's many forms has endured throughout time and has been a voice for those that suffer. Games are indeed a form of art and Exalted Funeral has and will continue to be a conduit for those games and individuals no matter how the landscape appears and changes.EF has been committed to bringing the best in underground and original games to market. We are throughly pissed off with the ever-changing tariff situation and volatility in our economy but want our fans, family, and friends to know we are working towards bringing home our current obligations and finding solutions for future endeavors so we can continue to bring to the table the best in gaming. The outlook isn’t rosy and the challenges are very real, but who said this was easy? Its not easy for anyone but our resolve is gonna stay.In light of all this please use your voice to contact your local, state, and national leaders and let them know how you feel.- Matt, Owner of Exalted FuneralWe as a team have been exploring solutions to these issues and want to let everyone know that the work is being done to keep the games coming. While some items are currently excluded from tariffs, other items we publish as a company and the partners we are working with are not. Our internal pipeline has been disrupted due to this and it is causing our deliverables and timelines to be shifted as well.  We are sincerely sorry for the delays.Status of StockDue to two very large recent Exalted Funeral project fulfillments at all three of the warehouses we work with, we have had to be strategic about timing the stock arriving in order to manage the volume of orders and warehouse space. Therefore, we are still in the process of receiving stock from Europe and China. This stock will unfortunately now be subject to tariffs so we need to navigate how to deal with that.Impact on Fulfillment TimelineThis will most certainly cause the fulfillment to be delayed by several months as we balance the increase cost and new and ever changing uncertain circumstances and processes with receiving these items.I know this is not the news you wanted to hear, but we can definitely guarantee two things:One, all of the Dolmenwood components are all already manufactured so fulfillment will absolutely still happen for all backers.Two, we will NOT increase costs for these items for any backers.We apologize for the delay. We truly love and appreciate all the support. Just know that we are always working, ALWAYS, to bring these titles home by getting these through the channels and into your hands as soon as we can. Please stay tuned for more info soon.If you're in the US please reach out and let your representatives know how you feel.Thank you,-Cristin & Matt, EF Owners[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
