Thank you!
Dear Amazing Backers,
Thank you all for your support and for the wonderful push at the end to get us to the first stretch goal. The game is ready to go and the contract is bein...
By now, many of you would have noticed the arrival of your physical copies of the Eyeball to Eyeball Core Gamebook. At this point, we are 97% of the way finished with that part of fulfillment. We have a few packages yet to go out (a few international orders mostly, with a few other stragglers here and there), which we hope to have out the door tomorrow.
The only outstanding rewards are the stretch goal soundscape and the digital Game Master Manual. We'll upload the soundscape for you on Tuesday, May 13, so be on the lookout for that.
We dropped part of the Game Master Manual–the Player Role Sheets–for you last week as a digital download. If you didn't see that email, you can navigate to your survey for Eyeball to Eyeball on Backerkit (https://eyeball-to-eyeball.backerkit.com/) and click through to Digital Downloads. You'll find the zipped file there.
However, we're still not ready to release the full Game Master Manual, which is still in layout. Our rough timeline at the moment is to finish layout by the end of this week and hand it off for proofreading; once that happens, it'll probably be another week before that'll come back to us for any edits. Allowing time for some wiggle room, we're looking at early June for that to drop.
If you need access to the Game Master Manual before then (because you are trying to run the game or whatnot), please reach out to us (cmichpress@cmich.edu), and we'll get you connected with the draft materials and access to the ExpSim site tied to the game.

I received the base games for Rising Water and Monumental Consequence. Missing from my delivery are:

Please let me know how I can receive these missing items as I am missing 3/5 of my order.
We're gearing up for fulfillment on Eyeball to Eyeball. The games are stateside at our New York warehouse, so it's time to get things done.
So if you go check out your surveys in the Backerkit pledge manage for this campaign, you should see shipping charges applied to your orders. You can get to your survey here:
For a single copy of the Core Gamebook, we have pegged the shipping charge at $11.50 for domestic US backers. Orders with additional add-ons or larger quantities will range between $13.00-$17.50, depending on quantities and the like (and the larger classroom set tiers will be higher still, for obvious reasons).
For international backers, we will be using Pirate Ship's Simple Export Rate in most cases to try and get the best rates possible. Those rates will range from $19.50-$32.00, depending on your country of origin. In a few instances, because our warehouse can get better rates through their FedEx account, we'll ship those through them.
We will be charging for shipping costs on Thursday, March 27, around 3:00 p.m. EDT / 12:00 p.m. PDT or so. Backerkit will be sending a dedicated message about it on Tuesday, March 25, Once shipping has been charged, we'll push the orders to our warehouse, and get this campaign taken care of.
Lastly, we'll have final updates on the Game Master Manual PDF soon. Right now, the finished/laid out digital role sheets are in proofreading, while the manual itself is finishing up layout. Our current plan is to release the role sheets to you once proofreading is done and then drop the full manual when that is finished. Here's a small preview of what those will look like, featuring the first of four Cuban contingent roles, Fidel Castro:
Role Sheet for Fidel Castro (draft, not final)
We're releasing into the wild for backers whose accounts are paid and locked two items for Eyeball to Eyeball: 1) the PDF of the Core Gamebook; and 2) a code for the E-book version hosted and sold through VitalSource.
Some of you may have briefly noted the release of the code bank yesterday when accounts automatically locked. We had some settings wrong in the backend, and instead of using the code bank, it sent the text file of the bank out to everybody (oops!). We recalled the download and have corrected the errors in the backend. For the small handful of you who were able to redeem one of the codes, you're good to go. If you get a new code given to you from the bank, feel free to ignore it.
If you have any troubles redeeming your E-book code, please reach out to us at cmichpress@cmich.edu, and we can double check the code. For additional technical assistance, you'll need to reach out to VitalSource for their help on their end.
