Greetings, Backers! Quick update for you this week!
90% Fulfilled!
By now, nearly all USA, UK and CAN backers who completed their survey by the deadline should have their books in hand, or a tracking number showing it's close! AUS backers, we are speaking regularly with our fulfillment partner there to get things back on track!
But that doesn't mean we're ignoring the pledge manager surveys received after the deadline! Chaos Lords are still continuing to craft your domestic packages, and we'll soon be coordinating the next wave of stock to our international partners.
Next week, you'll have a chance to get some totally maxed-out savings on long-coveted items for DCC, MCC, and XCC RPG in the new...
Before we get into stats, we have a very important note for USA backers in particular: Check your packages for colored twists of paper, like this. Your d16s are carefully wrapped up in them! Do not dispose of them! They will be sad, you will be sad, and your other dice will be mad. They will know.
Friendly little d16s, all wrapped up and ready to be shipped!
Here's a size comparison for most shipments...
...and here's the size comparison with the monstrous Monster Alphabet!
On to the main topic: Fulfillment is over 70% complete!
A surprise for our Canadian backers: over 95% fulfilled! Across the pond, over 90% of UK/EU backers have been filled.
USA backers are over 75% fulfilled! The holiday weekend kept us away from it for an extra day, but we -- and the Chaos Lords -- are putting all we have into getting your pledges to you. AU/NZ should be going out shortly. We don't have our own eyes (or hands) on the stock there.
In addition, we are actively assessing all of our international partners' stock needs for surveys that have come in more recently, as well as for reported damages in transit. It involves a lot of logistics, wrangling cats, and spreadsheets. (So. Many. Spreadsheets!) We greatly thank you for your patience as we try to keep the chaos and insanity at bay.
Thanks, also, for the friendly feedback about our interns Chaos Lords in training! They have been pulled away by some pressing tape needs, so we'll introduce the other half to you next week.
That's right -- well over half of all Dungeon Denizens 2 backers have been fulfilled!
For backers in CAN and AUS/NZ/SEA: The hard part is over! The goods have recently arrived at our partners' locations and we are now in their respective queues. Fulfillment partners often serve a variety of publishers, so we're just waiting our turn.
Great news for the UK/EU region: Over 90% of backers have been filled! (Surprise!)
Here in the USA: Again, we are over halfway there! Approx. 55% of US backers have email alerts with tracking information. Rejoice! Enjoy! Repeat! If you're in the 45%, don't worry -- we are not letting up! After all, this year's summer interns have been working tirelessly to earn their Chaos Lord status.
Meet this year's fresh-faced interns: Nate, Lamarr, Sora, and Cam!
The interns' new summer digs involve a lot of cardboard and never-ending rolls of bubble wrap (for your Denizens' protection). They are each quite talented, energetic, and insightful, and have taught all of us at the warehouse some deep lessons in embracing one's alter ego potential.
Chaos Lords in training: Raskulb and Vesper!
"Look for the colored paper - your d16s are in here!"
What do you think? Have they been doing a good enough job to earn their own horns?
Next week we'll introduce some more burgeoning talent! But, while we have your attention...
The Book of Funnels Coming Next Month
Stay tuned! And, as always, if you have any questions about your pledge or survey, please contact us directly at [email protected]. Thanks, and have a great week!
Some lucky US-based backers may have even received their copies already! If not, don't fret: there are literally thousands of pledges and ...well, nowhere near 1,000 Chaos Lords at the Goodman Games warehouse. (That's a good thing, actually. Trust us.) And, for those checking tracking numbers online with bated breath: please allow time for the tracking systems to update.
For those outside the US: We understand from our partners in Australia that the goods have arrived and are now in the queue. (How's that for a change of pace?) The UK/EU and Canadian markets are slated to start shipping in the next couple of weeks. If you're in these areas, watch your inboxes for address confirmation emails from our partners!
We'll update again soon! In the meantime, remember to click the Digital Distribution tab at the top of your BackerKit page for this project and download your awesome PDFs!
Some exciting news for backers both physical and digital.
PDF distribution is happening "right now." You should see your digital files appearing in your BackerKit account soon, and depending on your email settings you may also get an email notification. The notifications are queued and there are a lot of notifications going out, so if you don't see it yet, give it an hour or two!
Based on notifications we have received, physical book delivery will start soon in several markets. It looks like USA and AUS will likely be the first two markets to fulfill. More details coming soon!
