Hey everyone, here’s a quick update on where we are at:

1) Smoke Test
Yesterday we initiated a “smoke test” for the pledge manager. A small percentage of our backers got an email with a link to their backer survey. This is a trial to test out the configuration of our pledge manager. If successful, we’ll be rolling this out to everyone so you can add new items to your pledge, enter your shipping information, and collect your email address for Roll20 and DriveThruRPG. We’re still months out from fulfillment but we like to get things configured early. It also allows us to open up the BackerKit site to pre-orders. We’ll check the results early next week and look at green lighting the pledge manager for everyone shortly thereafter.

2) Rewards Production
We’re in the process of commissioning all the other rewards. We’re working with Campaign Coins on prototype samples for the custom coin. We’re getting artwork made for the custom card deck. The manufacturing of the dice is already underway. The game text is going through one more editing pass and there’s a couple new art pieces we have in the works. Then we give it all one more dunk in our exfoliating Layout Tank to make sure the pages look squeaky clean before we hand things off to the printer.

So work is underway - most all of it behind the scenes. No big hiccups so far, we’re very happy with the progress we’re making on Stewpot.

Stay tuned, we’ll likely roll out the pledge manager to all of you next week.
