Thank you, everyone, for your support! Our expectations for this project have been blown well out of the water, and we cannot begin to thank you enough. With the final tally coming to a close in only a few hours, we will need a few days to prepare the BackerKit Surveys for everyone, which will confirm addresses, emails, locations, taxes, etc., and allow upgrades to your tier and/or the purchase of additional add-ons!
Charging and Surveys
Starting today, on the 1st, BackerKit will begin charging for your base pledges. After about a week (on the 7th-9th, we estimate), we will send out your BackerKit surveys, and once those are filled out, you will be able to claim your digital rewards (PDFs, OSTs, wallpapers, etc.). If you fill out your surveys promptly, you should have the digital rewards - including the books - by the 9th.
For Backers who got the VIP credit, it is very important that you fill out your survey - that's how we'll collect the name you want to be credited as, which will be added to the book prior to any physical release.
EDIT: Slight timeline edit! At BackerKit's request, we'll be sending out the surveys on the 14th of August, after initial funding has been charged.
Manufacturing
Since the products for this campaign are already functionally done, we will immediately begin drafting our work orders with our printers and manufacturers, and get back to you every step of the way on how that's going. Shipping for this project will be charged after the initial collection of funds, closer to when we're ready to send items out. We'll post updates here as that unfolds, so be sure emails about this project aren't being relegated to your spam folders.
What Comes Next?
If you'd like to keep tabs on our work or look out for more books like this, then please check out the following options:
Our Next Project!
Our plan is to do a BackerKit for a book like this every quarter during 2026 (and then might change to every third of a year in 2027), and this is only Q2 - Q3 and Q4 re still ahead. We estimate the next project will run in October, so keep an eye out for emails about it! Rewards and such will have a similar structure to this campaign. The next book, "The Depths of Charity," will focus on spirits, phantoms, possession, the sea, and another eidolic deity from Somnus Domina, like Luxus in this book.
Patreon
We have a Patreon that keeps the lights on and supports our actual plays and day-to-day operations! Depending on your pledge level, you can see high-res art, get content early, and keep up with the actual play games that take place in Somnus Domina. At higher tiers, you can also vote on what content you want added to these very splash books.
If you want to keep up with our actual-play games, which all take place in this setting, you can check them out at the links below! Our games feature voice actors from the North American dubbing and voice-over scene, and our two major campaigns are a country-roving adventure with many eastern-inspired elements (Gilligan's Penance) and a science-fantasy mecha-lite campaign (Jumpship Junction), both set in the same world!
