Project Update: March Update: Shipping Charges & Fulfillment

Hi all,

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:

https://eyeball-to-eyeball.backerkit.com/

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)


Stay vigilant, everyone!

There was mention of a custom Discord server created to run this game. Where can I find that?

Project Update: Oops, All Codes! - Eyeball to Eyeball Digital Rewards Update

Hi all, 

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 [email protected], 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. 

Stay steely, everybody!

Project Update: Updates: Add-on and Shipping Charges, Digital Rewards

Hi everyone, 

We have some updates for you on a few matters. 

The games are currently on a boat making its way to the Port of New York. We expect them to be States-side and at our warehouse in February.

Add-on and Shipping Charges

We will be locking down orders and the Preorder Store soon (you'll see a 48-hour notice from Backerkit after this update). Once the 48-hours is up, we will be charging credit cards for any add-ons and preorders that were made since we sent out surveys last fall. Credit cards will be charged some time on Friday, January 24. If there are any changes you wish to make to your survey responses or any add-ons you wish to purchase, you should do so before your order locks on Wednesday and cards are charged on Friday. Also, for the small handful of you who haven't responded to your survey yet, you should take care of that soon. 

Please note: this charge on Friday is only for add-ons and preorders. We are not charging for shipping just yet. Once the games reach our warehouse, we'll get the shipping costs locked down and added to your Backerkit account so you can review them before we charge for those as well. Once that step is completed, we'll begin fulfillment of the physical rewards. This will start up in February some time. 

Digital Rewards

Once we lock orders and collect for add-ons and preorders, we'll be able to release some of the digital rewards as part of this campaign. Add-on curriculum guides and print & play PDFs will be distributed through Backerkit. We're still locking down how the digital version of the E2E core gamebook will be distributed to you all through our distribution partner VitalSource, but once we have that settled (and the codes generated), we'll release those to you as well.

The Instructor's Manual reward is still in layout, so that'll come after we finish fulfillment on the physical rewards, but should you need access to them in draft form, please reach out ([email protected]), and we'll see what we can do.

Stay steady, everybody!

Hello all! I pledged for one of the classroom sets to be sent to my son's high school US history teachers. Will there be (or can there be) a printable card I can send in advance of the materials so the teachers have some foreknowledge of what it is when it arrives? Thanks! Stacy
