I've been working behind the scenes this past week to get the post-campaign pledge manager set up and ready. If you missed the campaign and would still like to join us, there is now a pre-order button on the campaign front page!
Meanwhile I've just sent out a "smoke test" of surveys so a few of you should receive that email to test that everything is working. Once those are confirmed then all other backers will receive their surveys to confirm their orders, payment methods, and addresses. Remember that final shipping will not be charged until this Fall when I have games in hand and everything is ready to actually go in the mail.
What a whirlwind of a campaign. Thank you so much for coming along on this wild ride with me.
And now the real work begins...
Over the next couple of weeks I'll be finalizing the card layouts with the voted upon gnome gnames and prepping everything for print. I expect to have all files approved and sent over by the end of June. The printer usually takes about 6-8 weeks for production, so hopefully everything will be back in my hands by the end of August whereupon I will get into assembly and quality control. I will keep y'all appraised as each step is reached, but the torrent of emails should slow down considerably now that Pocketopia has finished.
In the meantime, I will also be getting the post-campaign pledge manager set up. You will receive a survey when it's ready to enter your shipping information (as well as be able to add any other add-ons to your order that you've decided you simply can't live without) and all orders will lock around the end of June when I'm ready to finalize the final unit quantity with the printer. Your shipping payments will also be collected through that pledge manager in the Fall.
And so I will sign off for now. Thank you again for your support and talk to you again soon!
We did it, everyone! We crossed the "funded" line overnight, and what a great thing to wake up to! Thank you so much to everyone for your support and for joining me on this gnomish journey.
Success!
We've still got a few hours left, so now that it's a sure thing feel free to keep sharing with your gnome loving friends and family so they can join us too.
And don't forget that the Gnome Gnaming Polls will still be open until the campaign ends at 4pm (Eastern), so get those votes in for your favorite Gnames!
It's the final 24 hours! If you've been on the fence, don't delay any further. Get your pointy hat and dive on in here with us! All 18 Gnome Gnaming Polls are open until 12pm PST tomorrow, so make your voice heard and help bring this game to life.
The bat's name is Humphrey
Good afternoon, my excellent Gnomes! We are in the home stretch now; only 2 days to go! Let's all gather our pointy hats and finish the campaign strong. And remember: the best way to help is by sharing sharing and sharing some more!
In the meantime, let us not forget our other grand task of Gnaming these Gnomes! Today we get to one of our two wild cards, The Hermit. Creeping forth from his dark and damp cave, he just wants to show you this cool mushroom he found:
There are some who call him...
