Hi everyone! Sorry for the radio silence, we've been hard at work to get everything done as soon as possible!
Let's start with the news everyone's probably most excited for: the Decks are here!
Behold! Boxes upon boxes of Decks!
Now, this means something very simple: we are just about ready to begin shipping the first decks! But, there's a few catches: these are premium decks only. The other parts of everyone's pledges will take a bit longer.
Standard Decks The decks are done! But they're still on a boat. They should be here in the next few weeks (depending on the US Customs office).
Zines The Mazes, C&C, and Idols 5E Zines are moving along pretty quick. They're finalizing up and should be done in production in the next week or two.
The Shadowdark, and 5E STF Zines are moving along, but a bit behind -- only about a week or two slower. It's mainly because they've got some complex pieces like a detailed dungeon crawling map and fancy layout. Either way, they're nearly done too.
The Critical Kit zine is a bit more behind. More details to follow -- it's probably looking at a month delayed or so.
AS SOON AS THEY'RE DONE, you'll get the digital download for the Zines you picked. Then, the shipment soon after!
Call to Power Quick Start Like the Zines, it's finishing up this week. I cannot share how excited I am to give you this. It got slightly delayed because we went out and got some really high caliber artists on the project -- and trust me, it shows.
Either way, it'll be done this week, digital download by next, and printed in the next few (did you know the cover will have gold foil to match the deck???).
Dice & GM Screens The Dice are done production, we're just waiting on delivery! We were told they'd be here last week, but no news. Probably a customs clearance got stuck. Should be here any day though.
GM Screens are a bit slower. The magnetic backing turned out to be a bit complex alongside the card gutter, but I think oh so worth it. So it's looking like a bit of a delay -- will keep you posted!
Coins The coins are on the way! They'll be here by next week.
Summary
As I mentioned last update, some things are ready by now, but some things are lagging behind. That being said, we'll ship orders as soon as we can.
Want to know when your order is ready? Look at this table. You will get your order shipped whenever all of your order's parts are ready.
Expedited Shipping / Getting Stuff ASAP
In that table, you may notice an "Expedited Option". We decided, though its a bit more work for us, because of the delays and holidays coming up, we're willing to put in some extra elbow grease on our end if you absolutely want your stuff ASAP.
That is, you'll get a new pledge manager request soon to finalize your shipping address. At that time, you'll also be asked if you want standard or expedited shipping. You'll notice, expedited shipping is roughly 2x the cost; that's because expedited in this case isn't about shipping at a faster speed, it's about shipping twice.
It's faster because if you pick Expedited Shipping, then we'll ship you 1 set of stuff by mid/end Nov, which will contain everything done by that point, then ship you the rest of your stuff when its ready in mid/end Dec.
ALTERNATIVELY, if you happen to be attending PAX Unplugged, we'll also have our Decks and materials there as well (minus any BK exclusives). If you would like to simply pick up your order at no extra charge, please do! Just bring a proof of your pledge. No need to tell us in advance, just come by!
Phew. That was a lot of update. Hopefully it answers some questions. If you have any questions or need anything, feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We read every email and respond pretty quick! Sorry if we didn't reply on Backerkit -- the notifications can be a bit wonky (and end up in spam a lot...).
We'll circle back in a few weeks as more and more stuff arrives! Expect downloads soon!
