Parca "Décima" available again!
The Parcae "Décima"" pledge tier is now available again! If you missed out earlier, now's your chance to grab it and become a part of our journey.
Apologies for the delay, we should have posted the update yesterday, but we've been busy testing things before launching this crucial update.
Pledge Manager
We're excited to announce that the pledge manager is now officially open! You should receive an email in your registered Backerkit email address that will lead you to your surveys. Please check your spam folder to ensure that no one misses out! For a little over a month, you'll have the opportunity to add new add-ons, change your pledge level, and finalize your surveys with your personal and shipping details. You'll have the option to pay via PayPal (payment will be immediate) or by card. If you opt for second, cards are scheduled to be charged at the end of May. Don't wait until the last day; pack your backpack with all the things you might need and take advantage of the lower shipping costs and additional rewards that won't be available in the store later on.
Local Pickup
For the first time, we're offering the option to locally pick up your orders. This option is currently available only in two locations in Spain, Madrid (Atlántica Juegos), and Malaga. If you're interested in local pickup, please follow these steps:
Local Pickup can be selected from the Shipping Address page of your survey. Local Pickup is located in the 'Country Field' of the shipping address. Please either at the beginning of the Survey or in the shipping cost section look for "Local Pickup" as the country to avoid being charged for shipping. Keep in mind that we can only offer this service right now in Madrid (Atántica Juegos) and Malaga in Spain. Avoid selecting this option if you won't be able to come to pick it up, as when we send out the rewards, you won't appear on the list of shipments to your respective countries if you've selected this mode.
"Additionally, at the beginning of the survey, you have a question to answer to choose where you want the local pickup, or if you don't want local pickup. Please respond depending on what you want."
Recogida Local
Por primera vez, estamos ofreciendo la opción de recoger tus pedidos localmente. Esta opción está disponible actualmente solo en dos ubicaciones en España, Madrid (Atlántica Juegos) y Málaga. Si estás interesado en la recogida local, por favor sigue estos pasos:
La recogida local se puede seleccionar desde la página de dirección de envío de tu encuesta. La opción de recogida local se encuentra en el campo 'País' de la dirección de envío. Por favor, ya sea al principio de la encuesta o en la sección de costo de envío, busca "Local Pickup" como el país para evitar cargos por envío. Ten en cuenta que solo podemos ofrecer este servicio en este momento en Madrid (Atlántica Juegos) y Málaga en España. Evita seleccionar esta opción si no podrás venir a recogerlo, ya que cuando enviemos las recompensas, no aparecerás en la lista de envíos a tus respectivos países si has seleccionado este modo.
"Además, al inicio de la encuesta, tienes una pregunta para responder y elegir dónde quieres que se realice la recogida local, o si no deseas recogida local. Por favor, responde según tus preferencias."
Selecting local pickup in the shipping section of the survey
Please Note: It is recommended to fill out your shipping address in the event you are unable to pick up your rewards in person.
Ten en cuenta: Se recomienda completar tu dirección de envío en caso de que no puedas recoger tus recompensas en persona.
You could select Local pickup in the first step of the Survey
New Events Cards Pool
We're kicking off the voting for the new event cards! First and foremost, we want to thank everyone who participated with their ideas and proposals. It was tough to choose from all of them, but in the end, we've selected 6 options after filtering out those that met certain requirements, such as not having a similar or identical card already in the game, and being feasible to implement in the gameplay. Attached to this update, you'll find the pool, please vote in it to help us decide which 2 new cards will join the GM Oracle! (We have 2 options with alterations in the timeline; only one of them will be chosen even if they are the top 2 voted, to avoid the Time Variance Authority (TVA) coming to erase us from the Sacred Timeline ^^U)
As promised, we're kicking off the selection process for our two new Event cards! Over the next 5 days, we want to hear your wildest ideas for these game-changing cards.
Remember, events can range from individual occurrences to double-sided cards that explore both sides of a situation. We welcome all ideas, as long as they abide by our community guidelines. So whether you're feeling heroic, mischievous, or downright devious, let your creativity run wild!
You don't need to propose both cards—just one idea will do. After 5 days, we'll sift through the submissions to find the most challenging, intriguing, and community-supported concepts. Then, we'll put them in a pool, and the top two will be brought to life in GM Oracle.
What surprises do you have in store for us? Will you shock, awe, or bewilder us? Let's find out! It's time to put your creativity to the test!
An example of an Event Card
It's time to announce the brave winners of our three thrilling votes!
We've spent days reading through each of your stories, and after much deliberation, we've chosen the champions of each category. These lucky adventurers will have the honor of taking home a hand-drawn card by Esther Sanz:
Winner of the Fighter Pool: KaiaNash - Grog, you've earned a seat among the demigods and a place in our hearts!
Winner of the Magic Users Pool: Anonymous Finch #1747623 -Let's all raise our glasses to those dedicated DMs who have earned their place in heaven with our misadventures!
Winner of the Support Pool: Kingsthegn - Please... a drow laughing his ass off watching his companions fight against a bunch of dead kobolds, a picture to remember!
Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone for participating and sharing your incredible stories. Esther Sanz will be reaching out to you in the coming days to discuss the cards you'll be receiving! Don't hesitate to assist her in creating some beautiful cards!
Stay tuned for more updates and happy brainstorming!
We hope this message finds you well and ready for another exciting update from the world of GM Oracle. Over the past few days, we've been hard at work behind the scenes, focusing on finalizing the pre-orders page and, most importantly, preparing the pledge manager. It's been a whirlwind of activity, and we're thrilled to announce that we've launched the smoke test to ensure the functionality of the pledge manager.
Payment Issues with Backerkit
We've heard that some of you may have encountered payment issues with Backerkit. Not to worry! This is what is going to happen:
Backerkit will deposit the funds approximately 14 days after the campaign end date, around April 18th. During this time, you have the opportunity to address any payment issues if possible.
Once these 14 days have passed, we will send out the Surveys. These will help us collect the personal and shipping details of each backer. In the survey, you'll have the option not only to add more add-ons but also to change your pledge level (see attached image). Additionally, you'll provide us with shipping information, and shipping costs will be calculated approximately.
If you choose to pay by card, it will be charged on the date we specify (we estimate around June 1st). Please note that we'll provide time for people to continue making changes or adding products.
If, on the other hand, you choose PayPal as your payment method, it will charge you directly once the survey is completed.
Thank You for Your Participation in the Polls
A big thank you to everyone who participated in the polls regarding your characters. Rest assured, we're carefully reading through all your submissions, and we'll soon begin deliberating to select the winners. Stay tuned for the announcement in an upcoming update!
Designing the new cards
As you know, for those of you who have been following us, we still have a few cards left to draw. This is our number one priority. To have them ready as soon as possible and not delay production, we have broken it down into parts:
2 new event cards, just like we did with Dark Myths, we have two event cards to choose. We'll be gathering ideas from all of you, so keep an eye out because we'll be reaching out in the coming days to kick off this exciting process.
3 Parcae cards. Backers will receive an email to indicate what they need to do to get us started on designing their Parcae as soon as possible. You'll see how much fun we're going to have!
Thank you once again for your continued support and enthusiasm, can't wait to share more updates with you soon!
I honestly backed digital only within the first 48 hours simply because I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to back. I didn't notice it would include a physical pin, whose shipping would cost more than my pledge. Yet I have no option to remove the pin from my pledge in order to not be charged the shipping for it.
This really needs to be something that I and others who only want a digital copy can opt-out of after it gets added to the pledge.
From the depths of our hearts, we extend our heartfelt THANKS! It's been incredible—the tension we've experienced during the last day, from thinking at one moment "We're not going to reach 100K!" to suddenly achieving it and not just that... you've given us an extra hour and a half of life and over 1.5K more in funds! Unbelievable, you're the best!
What's next:
Backerkit Fund Collection: Over the next two weeks, you'll have time for Backerkit to collect funds from your cards. Those who encountered issues have this time to resolve them before Backerkit transfers the funds to us, minus the approximately 10% commission. If you encountered issues, try to do it manually. Typically, for a higher amount, the automatic charge may fail, and it needs to be done manually with the security code usually received via mobile on your bank's app. Pledge Manager: Next Monday, we'll start working to have the pledge manager ready as soon as possible. In it, you'll have the option to upgrade your pledge to higher levels (That Ctulhu pin!!!), add additional add-ons, and pay for shipping costs, etc...
Late Pledge: We'll set up the header so that those who missed the chance to join GM Oracle can still do so these days through Backerkit's new Late Pledge service.
Poll Results! Additionally, during these days, we'll announce the results of the polls, both for the ink color for the Velvet Pouch, the cards to be printed on the A6 prints, and most importantly, the winners of the hand-drawn card by Esther Sanz!
Once again, we want to express our gratitude. Without you, we wouldn't be here, nor would we be one of the most successful Spanish companies in Crowdfundings. You are amazing! Thank you for your trust, your support, your words, or simply for being there and giving us your encouragement to traverse the battle and emerge victorious!
May the Oracles guide your dice and keep you away from the capricious threads of the Fates!
