I know most are still waiting so I won't say too much but I will say that this could be the most reading intensive experience so far. Possibly more than Weeping Book haha. Definitely occupies a decent amount of time to get through.

But the real question is, do you like it?

Mine should also arrive this evening. I think I am the last person on the delivery route for packages.

Actually, that's a good question. Did it come in an actual package/box, or is it an envelope?

Mine just got here, in an envelope.
Wow, that IS a lot of stuff to read!

Haven't gotten mine yet, but now I'm wondering if The Seance will be like a novella!

While MPC continues to use the same printed antiquing technique, the pieces in this mailing seem a bit more authentic. The paper and folds seem less crisp, more distressed, leading to a more successful immersion.
Perhaps the first batch of the first mailing had less "work" done on the paper in order to ship on schedule. Perhaps I've just lowered my expectations. Perhaps both.
I believe this mailing includes the "Papercraft" stretch goal.

Argh! Nuthin. No shipping number, no nuthin. Phooey. This will be my final complaint on the subject.

My 2nd mailing just arrived. As others have said, quite a bit of material there. No "light reading," this.

Should be in the mailbox waiting for me. Looking forward to perusing over more documents.

I'm a fan so far. The "story" I can touch is more thorough in my opinion. And the plot is enticing. Not super original, but given the format of delivery the story is interesting. The papercraft is fun, though I fear once it's together I'm not sure what I want to do with it. I like having the displayable next to the crate with all of the other mailing stuff inside (Although John Augur sort of put an end to that anyway with the massive piece and cool displayables haha). Maybe it can just sit gently on top? A mystery!
Also, unless someone else hasn't spoken up I think I may be closest to the US point of shipping. According to the mail log, things go from Buffalo to Rochester to Ithaca so it's usually only a 2 day process from the ship date. Albany might be similar though.

An idea I had about a part of blueprints from mailing one is becoming more firm after this mailing. On the blueprints there is a compass that shows a symbol above the "N" two symbols by what would be east and so forth. Could these indicate the symbols that equal letters? It would fit with the symbol that Dr Elliot claims is the "E" and the symbols on the compass could correlate with "E" and "A" maybe?
