Project Update: Post Campaign Schedule
What’s next for Lairs of Etharis: Transformed? Get these dates in your calendars!
💀Hey everyone!
Now that the dust has settled on the campaign, we’re back with the full breakdown of what happens between now and the moment your new lairs land on your doorstep. Below you’ll find the post-campaign schedule, an explanation of each stage, and a few things we’d love for you to do to make sure your pledge is set up correctly.
⌛Late Pledges & Stretch Goals
First up, a note about late pledges and stretch goals. As you may have assumed, as the campaign has now closed no additional stretch goals can be unlocked. We need to lock down the scope of the content so we can keep production on track and deliver everything we’ve promised on time.
Late pledges will remain open through our BackerKit page for a limited time, so if you’ve got friends who missed out, point them our way before that window shuts. We’ll share the late pledge closing date in an upcoming update, as we get closer to printing.
📅Post-Campaign Schedule
Below is the schedule of key dates we’d love every backer to have on their radar between now and fulfilment. We’ll remind you about each milestone as we get closer, but it’s worth dropping these in your calendar so nothing sneaks up on you.
Key Dates and Events:
Check your pledge: NOW! 🟢
Pledge Manager Surveys: Sending starts Friday 5th June, 26 🟡
All Current Pledge Manager Surveys: Sent out by Monday 8th June, 26 🟡
Lock orders (continuous): Begins 17th July, 26 🔴
Charge cards (continuous): Begins 10th Aug, 26 🔴
Lock addresses: February, 2027 🔴
Fulfilment begins: Shipping to start March, 2027 🔴
❗Check Your Pledge: NOW!
This one is the easiest thing on your plate, and the most important. Please log in to your BackerKit account and confirm your pledge has gone through successfully. Only successful pledges can be fulfilled.
If something has gone sideways on the payment side, that’s usually between you and your bank, and unfortunately it’s not something we can resolve directly. If you think we might be able to help, drop us a line at [email protected] and our team will take a look.
✉️Pledge Manager Surveys From: Friday 5th June, 26
This is one of the most important dates on the schedule. From Friday of this week, we’ll send out pledge manager surveys through BackerKit - starting with a smoke test to a subsection of backers to make sure everything works. All current pledges should receive their survey by Monday of next week.
This is where you’ll:
This is where you’ll:
• Confirm your pledge level and items
• Add any add-ons you’d like to your order
• Enter your shipping address
• Pay your shipping costs
Shipping is not charged during the campaign itself, so the survey is where shipping is calculated and paid based on your region and items. Any extra money you pledged on the campaign above your tier will appear as credit inside BackerKit and can be put toward add-ons.
As mentioned, we’ll send a smoke test to a small group of backers first so we can iron out any issues before everyone gets their survey. If you’re one of those early backers, your feedback helps us make the process smoother for the rest of the community.
❓New to BackerKit?
If this is your first BackerKit campaign, no worries. Here’s how it works:
When surveys go out, you’ll receive an email from [email protected] with the subject line “Response Needed: Get your reward from Lairs of Etharis: Transformed.” The link inside takes you to your survey. From there, you’ll workthrough the items in your pledge, add any extras you’d like, then continue to the shipping payment section.
If you don’t yet have a BackerKit account, you can create one ahead of time. Just make sure you use the same email address you used to back the campaign so your pledge links up correctly.
🔒Lock Addresses: February, 2027
A few months before fulfilment we’ll lock shipping addresses. After this point, address changes are difficult and may incur additional shipping costs if a parcel needs to be redirected, so make sure your details are accurate well before the lock date.
A quick note on P.O. Boxes and Parcel Lockers: Our couriers cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes or parcel lockers. If your address is one of these, your pledge will not be able to be delivered. Please enter a street address in BackerKit so your books actually arrive at your door.
🚚Fulfilment: Shipping Begins March, 2027
The bit everyone is waiting for. We’ll do everything in our power to hit this date, but we want to be upfront that production and shipping sometimes throw unanticipated curveballs at us, and that can push timelines. If anything changes, we’ll communicate it as early as we can through Kickstarter and BackerKit updates rather than going quiet on you.
When fulfilment starts, we’ll break the schedule down by region (US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia, NZ and Rest of World) so you know roughly when to expect your wave.
💬Join Us on Discord
If you want to chat about all things Etharis with fellow backers and the team, our Ghostfire Gaming Discord is the place. We share early previews, behind-the-scenes peeks, and it’s where the backer beta discussion will live too.

🧟That’s the Plan
That’s everything for now. The only thing you need to do today is double-check your pledge has gone through cleanly. Beyond that, sit tight, keep an eye on your inbox, and we’ll be back with the next update when pledge manager surveys are about to land.
Thank you again for backing Lairs of Etharis: Transformed and for helping us grow the world of Etharis. We cannot wait to put these new lairs in your hands.

What’s Next?
We’re going to take a brief moment to get everything in order, but we’ll be back soon with a comprehensive post-campaign schedule. This will include everything you need to know about the Pledge Manager, fulfillment timelines, and how to finalize your rewards.

Project Update: $100,000 Unlocked: The Final Stretch Goal is Ours!
Congratulations Everyone!
We have officially surged past the $100,000 milestone, successfully clearing our final stretch goal. Thanks to your incredible momentum, we are adding two brand-new Tier 3 Bounty PDFs to the Lairs of Etharis collection, ensuring that even your most powerful high-level parties have legendary predators to contend with.
These high-stakes hunts will be delivered in our "Zero-Prep" one-spread PDF format, featuring fearsome stat blocks and rewards worthy of a Tier 3 victory. By reaching this final peak, you have helped us transform this campaign into a complete resource for every level of play. Thank you for making this campaign such a massive success!

The address that was on file was my old address, in a different state and at an apartment complex. It was my fault for not updating it, so everything sent to the old address is lost. Is there any way I can pay the pledge again and get it sent to my correct address I updated?

Project Update: $80,000 Unlocked: A Second Brand New Lair
We’ve officially crossed the $80,000 mark, and that means another New Lair has been unearthed. Your support continues to expand this book into a massive tomb of dark fantasy content, and we couldn't be more excited to see this collection grow.
To give a taste of what's to come here's a brief blurb!
Some horrifying monster has started exhuming corpses from the cemetery. Folk have become enraged with grief. But perhaps the grave robbing is more calculated than it first appears, when obsession has led to desecration.
This horror-themed lair is designed for four or five level 7 characters. It challenges your players to investigate a string of grisly thefts that lead to a truth far more disturbing than simple hunger.
We are charging toward our next big milestone at $100,000! Let’s keep the fire burning and show the world what the Grim Hollow community can do. Share the campaign and tell your party!
