[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 9645704, member: 1"] While this has been posted a bunch of times in various threads, I think some context is important. What the Arcane Library said was [I]"People have asked a few times, so I want to reassure everyone: the current tariffs are not going to affect our pricing and fulfillment. We are able to safely absorb these costs thanks to backers’ strong support!"[/I] 21 days ago, on April 4th, when the tariffs were set at 54%. The tariffs were raised to 145% on April 9th. To my knowledge, they haven't commented since. But given some of the fairly toxic [I]"Why didn't you account for the tariffs? We all knew it was coming!"[/I] dialogue being spread round by certain elements, I think it's important to clarify that at no point did [I]Shadowdark[/I] claim to have accounted for 145% tariffs, and it harms other publishers to spread that sort of disinformation. Nobody predicted this, or could have. Fortunately, [I]Shadowdark[/I] is in book format (not a boxed set) so seems likely to be exempt from the tariff, at least as things currently stand. I'm super hopeful that they will sail through this unscathed. [/QUOTE]
