Friends,

I've ordered your digital rewards via Drivethrurpg.com.  Be on the lookout for an email from them.  Also, if you already have an account, you can log into your Drivethrurpg the Account tab, and click Inbox, and you should be able to access the download links there.

If you added some add-ons like the Overworld, Pipeworld, or Nightworld zines, those digital rewards will each come in separate emails from Drivethrurpg.  

Note:  Sometimes, it takes Drivethrurpg up to 24 hours to send the emails.  So don't panic if you haven't received it, yet.  It should be on it's way soon.

IF you don't receive an email by Thursday, reach out to me.  I'll get you taken care of.  

Still awaiting physical rewards.  Hopefully I'll have more to report on that front soon!  

Thanks,
Eric

Friends,

Just an FYI:  Shipping addresses will be locked down automatically in 48 hours.

You will be receiving a separate email from Backerkit with the shipping address that we have on file. Please confirm that information is correct.

Note:  Rewards will not ship immediately.  Everything is still inline to ship rewards on time.  I'll post another update if that changes.  Now, we're simply printed copies to arrive from the printer. :)

Have a great day!
Eric

Friends,

A quick update:  I'll be charging your cards for any uncollected balances (shipping, etc) one week from today.  Then I'll be locking addresses. 

If everything goes as planned, I'll be shipping your rewards in late May, and will distribute your digital rewards then, too. 

Thank you so much for your support!

And while I have you, here's the link to our other pre-order pages for Backerkit:

Things are going great on the Underworld front.  Issues 1 & 2 have been written playtested and through the layout process, and are just awaiting a final editing pass.  Issue 3 has been playtested, written, and is just awaiting layout, then final editing.  Things are getting really close now. :)

Friends,

Hey folks, I saw 4 comments saying they never received a survey!  If you haven't received your survey, so sorry!  I will reach out to the Backerkit team, and see what's up! 

In the meantime, if you still haven't received your survey, try this:   https://underworld-tabletop-rpg-fantasy-adventures-inspired-by.backerkit.com/

Thanks for your patience!

Eric

Friends,

Quick update today:  Surveys sent!  Please fill these out as soon as possible. 

Friends,

I've sent the smoke test survey to 5% of the backers.  If all goes well, I'll send the rest of the surveys this week!  

I apologize for the lack of updates.  This was my first time using BackerKit, and I underestimated the learning curve for technological caveman like myself.  However, things have been moving along in the background.  All the maps and their variants have been completed and layout has begun!  See some example maps below!

Also, the preorder store is now open for those who missed the campaign:

Thanks,

Friends,

Things are moving along great!  The first 2 maps are in.  Maps were created by Jeff Jones. 

Things will start moving quickly now! :)

I'll post again soon. 

Friends,

Thank you so much for your support!  This project ended with 126 Backers with a total pledge amount of $4928!  That is really good for our first project on this new-to-us platform!  

I have a meeting Thursday to commission the art for the maps for all three adventures.  I expect with the holidays, I won't have the maps until mid January.  I'll post another update once they have arrived and show them off to you all.

With the conclusion of this campaign, and the upcoming holidays, I'm going to go into a slight winter hibernation. I probably won't post another update until January.  With that said, I'll still be around and checking messages, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me on here or social media.  I'll do my best to respond as quickly as possible.  

Again, Thank you very much for your support!

Happy Holidays!

Friends,

Thank you so much for your support!  You've already made this campaign a huge success. 

Truth be told, I accidently launched this campaign early (I'm new to Backerkit and still learning the platform).   And when I did, I was really worried that the campaign would flop or tank because I hadn't had time to do any promotion.  But you awesome folks showed up bigtime!  So again, thank you!

I'll do weekly updates during the campaign but if you need anything I'm here.  Don't hesitate to reach out. :)

Since this campaign launched early, I actually have a Kickstarter running, that ends soon, that is also retro video game inspired:  Cries of the Overworld.  You can check it out here:
