Project Update: Status Update (Funded Arrived, Content Being Sewed Up Now)
Hey all,
Just letting you know that the funds arrived safe and on time. So now we're putting forth any extra orders we need to do along with getting things printed. The core book and monster book have a few key art pieces I'm waiting on (gawd monster books take a ton of art), but those should both be done relatively soon.
It helps that we started doing monster art for this back in January. ;)
If this is your first time doing one of my pre-order/Patreon campaigns, here's what you can expect:

If this is your first time doing one of my pre-order/Patreon campaigns, here's what you can expect:
- Funds arrived. Thank you all!
- Pledge Manager will open approximately 1-2 weeks from now, probably the first or second week of June.
- Pledge Manager will give you a chance to add items you didn't get the first time. And since we have some domestic goodies left from our last campaign, we'll be adding those in, too, along with other books we have in stock.
- Pledge Manager will stay open for 1-2 weeks, giving you time to get your shipping ducks in a row. Shipping will be relatively low UNLESS you live somewhere other than the US, Canada, the UK, Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Brazil (I think... will double check), Australia, and New Zealand, OR if you get anything that isn't just a book. A lot of the stuff in this campaign will come directly from the printer, hence why we can save a bit (the printer is Amazon).
- After the Pledge Manager closes, we'll start locking in orders and charging cards for shipping/add-ons.
- After the first round of PM stuff, we start fulfilling the digital rewards. I tend to do this in waves because when dealing with many digital things, I want to ensure nothing is getting missed or mixed up. It's very easy to make mistakes here, and doing a few things spaced out keeps us "safe" for the most part.
- After digital goes out, we'll start sending out physical products. If the products come from our printer, we won't have tracking numbers for you until they're printed and on the way. Of course, I'll have like... a bajillion notifications on my Shop app to keep you in the loop. We *might* do domestic stuff via our facility in Norman, Oklahoma, so you'll get the tracking number as soon as we print the label.
PATREON BACKERS at the Gold+ level will get a chance to add extras they want for which they have credit. I'll set up a new Discord server and invite you to it on Patreon. The process will work similarly to last time. If it's your first time doing this, just hit me up. I'll tell you how much credit you have, then apply that to whatever you want. All you gotta pay for is shipping (again, it's like... $10).
If you have any questions, message Bree at [email protected]. Backerkit doesn't really have a phone app anymore and for whatever reason I don't get comment replies sent to my inbox, so if you need immediate-ish help, just ping her there.
Thanks, friends!
- Dave
PS If shit goes off the rails for some reason, I'll let you know what's up. I've learned from past campaign fuckups (of which I have many... ugh) that having shit done before the campaign ends is always best. In this case (and all campaigns going forward)... I do. But I also sometimes want to add more shit or do last minute edits. For example, the main book is like... 300 pages. I couldn't stop adding stuff.
Either way, I'll keep you in the loop.
