Latest Updates from Our Project:

First round of orders locking down!
about 2 years ago – Fri, Mar 15, 2024 at 09:37:38 AM

Hey folks, 

Brief update to say orders are locking down with final notices! I forgot that it gives backers 48 hours to finalize their orders, so make sure to check that you have everything you want added in. After 48 hours, orders will lock down, then cards will be charged. Then, the moment we've all been waiting for, PDFs will distribute automatically! You should receive a digital downloads email, but you can also find the PDFs in your digital downloads menu on your Backerkit profile. More information on that here: https://help.backerkit.com/article/662-where-can-i-find-my-digital-downloads

Sorry for the 48 hours wait, but Backerkit has that function for good reason. The other good news is that 75% of you have complete your surveys! Keep up the good work on checking your emails for this project, remember that Abigail is watching you...

All the best, and game on!

Locking Orders Tomorrow and Shipping Update
about 2 years ago – Thu, Mar 14, 2024 at 07:06:48 AM

Hey folks! 

Quick Thursday morning update for you all. It looks like a lot of you are excited for this, as 66% of you have already filled out your surveys! We will do the first round of locking down order tomorrow morning around 11 AM EST. Once orders are locked any shipping/handling/taxes charges and add-ons you ordered in the pledge manager will be charged to your card on file (or it has already charged if you used PayPal). Once that happens, the PDFs will be available on the "Digital Downloads" section of your Backerkit profile. Here's a guide support article on where to find these! https://help.backerkit.com/article/662-where-can-i-find-my-digital-downloads

We are still on track with our estimated schedule. If we notice any delays, we will be sure to let you all know. 

Note for a small percentage of backers who are not in the US, Canada, UK, EU (excluding EU outermost islands), Australia, and New Zealand. If you are not in any of these countries, we could not find an economical way to print and ship books to your location. The international shipping climate drastically changed from 2023 to 2024, including increased shipping prices and less "customs friendly" shipping options. We had a note in our Shipping section of our story mentioning that we were unable to ship to certain countries, but a few backers in these regions have selected physical products. We have allowed the ability for these backers to switch their pledge tier to the PDF only tier. This will credit any difference you had from physical products, and still get you access to the content digitally. Just note, once you select to change your tier to PDF only, this cannot be undone. We are sorry for this inconvience, let us know if you have any questions on this at [email protected].

That's all for now, game on!

The Pledge Manager is LIVE!
about 2 years ago – Mon, Mar 11, 2024 at 08:14:24 AM

Hey folks!

Happy Monday! I am letting you know that the pledge manager has gone live for everyone. We found no additional issues from our smoke test and are working on tidying up the PDFs over the next few days. 

A quick note about the PDFs. It looks like Backerkit's digital download distribution does not go into effect until orders are locked down and the balance is paid. This means PDF download links won't go out until we lock down orders. But, have no fear! We plan to do the first round of locking orders on Friday, so anyone who fills out their surveys between now and then and has the core PDFs on their order will get them on Friday! The core PDFs include Horror RPG Rulebook, The Diner, and Can You See Them? We will lock down orders every Friday until we close the pledge manager in mid-April because orders will start to be fulfilled shortly after that.

As always, we are here to help. If you need anything, reach out to us here or at [email protected]. If you notice any errors in the PDFs, let us know, and we will have it resolved and updated for everyone. 

Thank you to everyone for making this such a great campaign, we are so excited to share this with everyone! Game on!

Pledge Managers starts Monday!
over 2 years ago – Fri, Mar 08, 2024 at 01:36:07 PM

Hey folks! 

Bob here with a quick update. After the update this morning we are up to 72% of the smoke test backers completing their survey. We have revised the shipping rates to account for folks who are only getting 1-2 books, which was the only problem we've seen so far. We are going to let the smoke test wrap up over the weekend, which will allow Dave and I time to get home safe from GAMA and for Dave to finish the bookmarking of the core PDFs. It may also show anything else we missed from the smoke test so far, but everything else is running smoothly thusfar.  

On Monday, I will have the PDFs uploaded to the digital downloads and then....the pledge manager will go live for EVERYONE! If you need anything from us, you can reach us here in the Community section or ping Aubrey at [email protected]

We are just as excited as you all for this project, and we talked to a TON of retail stores at GAMA that also showed interest...especially with Abigail watching over the booth all week. If you don't wish to lay your eyes on Abigail...skip the Backer only content. You've been warned, I can still feel her.....watching. 

Projected Fulfillment Schedule (Pinned Post)
over 2 years ago – Thu, Mar 07, 2024 at 08:11:37 PM

Hey all!

We're wrapping up GAMA here. The smoke test has gone pretty well, but we've only had about 58% of people answered so far, which seems relatively low.

We're going to check with Backerkit to see what's up, and likely, we're going to have to reduce the price for shipping domestic a little to account for folks who just got one book, keeping in mind that we're going to be wrapping this up pretty good and tossing in a few extra goodies. Either way, BK doesn't have a way to differentiate between media mail and UPS.

TL;DR: Pledge Manager is coming, we just want to ensure we don't overcharge you or there are any issues.

Either way, here's our expected fulfillment schedule. Remember, these are all estimates, and things like mistakes in printing or proofs can slow things down. We'll try to update things as they come to us.

Thanks all!
