You may have received a notice from BackerKit letting you know that orders are being locked. I used the option to send a warning and wait 48 hours before the full lock goes into effect, just to give everyone one last opportunity to make adjustments. That window is ending soon.
The next step is charging credit cards, so please make sure your payment details are up to date. I know the notifications can feel repetitive if everything is already sorted, but circumstances change—people move, cards expire, banks block transactions—and I’d rather build in too much margin than too little.
If everything on your end is correct, you’re all set. You’ll simply receive confirmation once your card is charged. If there’s any issue, BackerKit will automatically prompt you to update your payment information.
On the production side, things are moving forward. I don’t yet have a concrete Weird, Whimsy & Wonder printing update to show, but I do have something related that some of you will appreciate.
If you picked up Random Realities as an add-on or part of a bundle, I’m happy to share that it has already been printed and delivered to Critical Kit’s headquarters. Since that book was already complete, it moved through production earlier.
I got a look at the finished copy, and the print quality is excellent. Check this out:
The spot UV detailing looks fantastic! It’s a good preview of the level of care you can expect with Weird, Whimsy & Wonder as well.
Our book will take a bit longer because of the pledge locking, payment processing, and queueing at the print facility, but everything is proceeding with attention and care.
