Smoke Test Surveys Are Out!
almost 4 years ago – Mon, Jul 13, 2020 at 03:21:40 PM

That's pretty much it. We sent out the smoke test surveys from Backerkit. If you're one of the lucky few that got them, then please fill them out today so we can target any potential problems! Thanks.

Game on!

Smoke Test Tomorrow
almost 4 years ago – Sun, Jul 12, 2020 at 02:37:19 PM

Okay all, we are going to smoke test our Backerkit Pledge Manager tomorrow. Some of you will receive an invite to it to check out and use the pledge manager. This is just to test out if everything is going to run smoothly. If nothing major happens, on Tuesday, the invites will be sent out to everyone. 

So, be on the lookout tomorrow. I'm not sure who is going to get the invite for the smoke test, but from what I understand is that a few of you from each pledge level will get it. Log in and fill it out, and if there are any problems, that would be the time to contact so we can fix it! 

Thanks all. Moving forward!

Game on!

Quick Update
almost 4 years ago – Tue, Jul 07, 2020 at 07:45:30 PM

Just wanted to let you know we have finished all of the add-on cards, and are sending them out for proofing. 

The only other update we have for you today is that tomorrow, those of you who chose to get the custom dungeons and custom adventures, you will be getting a survey from us to quickly fill out, just so you can detail anything you want to see in the stuff we are going to be creating from you. We are going to do the dungeons first, and then go into the custom adventures. 

Everyone  can still expect to get into Backerkit sometime next week. We will throw out our Smoke Test probably on Monday (that's where a few of you will get the surveys and get into the pledge manager to make sure we set everything up on our end). Then, as long as there are no major problems, Tuesday or Wednesday next week should see it open to everyone. 

That's all I have for you guys today. Thanks all! Game on!

All Items Shipped!
almost 4 years ago – Fri, Jul 03, 2020 at 12:14:02 PM

Just kidding! But that's what the headline will say in a couple months when that actually does happen. 

But it has been a week since the campaign ended, and we wanted to share a couple updates.

First, we have sent the files over to PrintNinja for the final proofing of the two main decks. So, we should hopefully hear back about that soon. 

The second thing, we are going to launch our Backerkit tool right around July 13th (that is our target date, but we might end up doing it a day or two later). That's where you guys will get to lock in which of the add-ons you're getting. 

And speaking of the add-ons, we have been working on finishing those cards this last week. We will be finishing up the Desert Tomb Pack today, and we will begin the Magic Items Pack tomorrow. All the other packs are finished as of this moment! But, as we've been ordering the proofs of each of these packs, we also realized that we didn't account for the extra shipping these are going to cost. So, when you get into Backerkit, I don't want anyone to be surprised if they see an extra fee for shipping for these add-ons. It's not a lot, but for shipping to the United States, we're talking like an extra $2 or so, and other countries like an extra $4 or so, for most items. We wish we didn't need to add that on, but more items mean bigger packages and more weight which increases our costs. So, I didn't want anyone to be angry at us when we do eventually get to the Backerkit. This is only for the add-ons, as your shipping for the main decks has already been paid for.  

Well... anyway, we wanted to update you. We'll probably do so again next week when we place our order for the decks! 

Thanks all you awesome people! Game on!

THANK YOU!
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jun 25, 2020 at 12:23:40 PM

We made it! With your help we raised 375% of our initial goal, and made this our biggest Kickstarter ever! And we couldn't have done it without you, so thank you very much. You're awesomeness level has now been raised to historic heights! 

So... what's next?

First, we are going to take a breath. But then we are getting to work. We have to finish up our pledge manager, which is going to come through Backerkit. You can expect to see information on that in a couple of weeks. 

In the meantime, we are going to get the files over to PrintNinja, so they can get started on them, and we can get these cards to you as soon as possible! 

So, once again, thank you so much! We love you all! We think you're all awesome! And we can't wait to bring this project to you!

GAME ON!
