Project Update: Orders Lock Monday! [Please read]
Survey completion crept just over 80% this morning. Which means I have a solid enough count of all items to place orders for things!
A couple call outs:
Extra colors did not unlock. We tried, but we fell short on all colors. These have been removed from pledges, and no one will be charged for these add-ons. If you want to include a different insert for those locked colors, now is your opportunity to do so.
Orders will lock Monday at 7am Pacific. If you wish to make changes to your pledge, you have until this deadline. I will be locking orders so item counts are set and I can get production rolling.
If you haven't filled out your survey yet, you still can! I'm over-ordering for retail, and will have enough stock on-hand to fulfill the 18 or so surveys that haven't been filled out yet. (Unless you're going to do something crazy like order 20 dice bags. If you're going to do this, please email me. lmao)
Surveys will lock, but addresses will not! I will post another update when we're closer to fulfillment when addresses will lock. Please feel free to update your address as needed.
As always, if you need to reach out, don't hesitate to do so. admin/@/arledgecomics/.com

Project Update: Surveys are out! + Troubleshooting
Hey friends!
A couple reminders:
2) If you opted for a Pay Over Time pledge, your reward survey will trigger ~48 hours after your pledge is paid in full. Until then, you won't see a survey. Please know that I am over-ordering (a little) for retail, so don't worry about anything selling out before you're able to fill out your survey. :)
If you are NOT a pay over time backer, and you don't see your survey, you can recover your survey using this link.

That's all for now!
Thanks, all!

Project Update: Smoke Test Feedback
Based on some feedback I've gotten, I've decided to do a couple call outs. Some are just things to know because the Pledge Manager - while great - isn't perfect. Other things are because I'm a big dumb dummy and forgot to mention them. XD
- Collab Inserts
- If you backed both this project and my partner project (I did, I need that holster bag), you're entitled to the stained glass insert for your bags!
- On the project page, I said it would be based on the bag you ordered, and if you got both, you'd have to choose.
- The Pledge Manager isn't as elegant as I'd like, and things got too complicated. So I lumped both the collab folio insert and the collab dice bag insert into a single SKU. This means if you backed for both the folio and dice bag and qualify for the stained glass inserts, you will receive both instead of having to choose.
- Additional Inserts
- Regardless of their locked/unlocked status, the quantity of inserts per add-on is identical to the campaign. One insert for the folio or one set of three for the dice bag.
- Selecting Pins
- In the pledge manager, I can put any number of variations. In this instance, 22 variations of enamel pin! However, I can't upload that many photos to the add-on. If you need a clearer guide of pin options, please refer to the campaign page. Adding the image below, too!
- And if you're opting for the Night colorway instead, remember it's the same pins, except we're replacing green with red and blue with black.
And finally:
- Locking surveys
- When I lock surveys, it'll be done with notice. This means you're going to get an email from BackerKit alerting you that surveys with lock soon. This is your 48 hour warning to make any changes to your order before it's locked forever.
- I'll also be posting an update before I hit the lock button, giving you a running start!
- This is your opportunity to choose something else if an insert doesn't unlock, or add anything last minute.
- If an insert doesn't unlock, I'll remove that sku from everyone's orders prior to charging cards. So don't worry about that too much!
I think that's everything for right now! As always, if you've got questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out via email - admin @ arledgecomics.com :)

Project Update: Smoke tests are out!
Hey backers!
Thanks so much for your quick feedback!
I proceeded with the lower cost/higher minimum order option y'all voted for. And that was the last piece I needed in place before sending the Pledge Manager to BK to review. The survey has been approved, and smoke tests are out in the wild!
If you're one of the lucky folks who got a smoke test, your survey is in your inbox now! Please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is janky. I'm human and can only be so perfect. XD
If there are no major issues, the rest of the surveys will be sent out on Monday. (If there are major issues, they'll likely still go out Monday, just... later. haha)
Surveys will be locked July 1 or when 80% of backers have responded.
I will be (slightly) over-ordering for retail, so I'm not too concerned about running out of pledged items.
However! If you're hoping to help unlock those new insert colors, do not hesitate, because that's also the cutoff to get more things funded!
Until next update!

Project Update: Quick Update for Feedback (Poll Inside)
I'm working on the pledge manager, and I'm setting up six unlockable inserts:
folio insert in pink, lime green, and silver
dice bag inserts in pink, lime green, and silver.
I'm trying to balance cost vs reasonably unlocking these colors for folks. So we have two options, and I'd like to hear feedback on how you'd like to see it handled.
There's a poll below for easy feedback!
Option One
These unlockable inserts will be the same price as was offered during the campaign. ($8 for folio, $10 for dice bag)
However, the minimum order needed to unlock the color will be higher. (25 for folio, 45 for dice bag)
Option Two
The unlockable inserts are a little more expensive ($10 for folio, $15 for dice bag)
However, they're more likely to unlock due to lower minimum order (20 for folio, 30 for dice bag)
Vote in the poll below to let me know what you think! I'll finish the pledge manager based on your feedback.
