That's right -- well over half of all Dungeon Denizens 2 backers have been fulfilled!
For backers in CAN and AUS/NZ/SEA: The hard part is over! The goods have recently arrived at our partners' locations and we are now in their respective queues. Fulfillment partners often serve a variety of publishers, so we're just waiting our turn.
Great news for the UK/EU region: Over 90% of backers have been filled! (Surprise!)
Here in the USA: Again, we are over halfway there! Approx. 55% of US backers have email alerts with tracking information. Rejoice! Enjoy! Repeat! If you're in the 45%, don't worry -- we are not letting up! After all, this year's summer interns have been working tirelessly to earn their Chaos Lord status.
Meet this year's fresh-faced interns: Nate, Lamarr, Sora, and Cam!
The interns' new summer digs involve a lot of cardboard and never-ending rolls of bubble wrap (for your Denizens' protection). They are each quite talented, energetic, and insightful, and have taught all of us at the warehouse some deep lessons in embracing one's alter ego potential.
Chaos Lords in training: Raskulb and Vesper!
"Look for the colored paper - your d16s are in here!"
What do you think? Have they been doing a good enough job to earn their own horns?
Next week we'll introduce some more burgeoning talent! But, while we have your attention...
The Book of Funnels Coming Next Month
Stay tuned! And, as always, if you have any questions about your pledge or survey, please contact us directly at [email protected]. Thanks, and have a great week!
Some lucky US-based backers may have even received their copies already! If not, don't fret: there are literally thousands of pledges and ...well, nowhere near 1,000 Chaos Lords at the Goodman Games warehouse. (That's a good thing, actually. Trust us.) And, for those checking tracking numbers online with bated breath: please allow time for the tracking systems to update.
For those outside the US: We understand from our partners in Australia that the goods have arrived and are now in the queue. (How's that for a change of pace?) The UK/EU and Canadian markets are slated to start shipping in the next couple of weeks. If you're in these areas, watch your inboxes for address confirmation emails from our partners!
We'll update again soon! In the meantime, remember to click the Digital Distribution tab at the top of your BackerKit page for this project and download your awesome PDFs!
Some exciting news for backers both physical and digital.
PDF distribution is happening "right now." You should see your digital files appearing in your BackerKit account soon, and depending on your email settings you may also get an email notification. The notifications are queued and there are a lot of notifications going out, so if you don't see it yet, give it an hour or two!
Based on notifications we have received, physical book delivery will start soon in several markets. It looks like USA and AUS will likely be the first two markets to fulfill. More details coming soon!
Exciting update for you all today: the books are on boats! Shipments from China are headed to various markets as we type this.
It is highly likely that Australia will be the first market to fulfill. For AUS backers who completed their surveys prior to the posted deadline, we shipped the US-origination add-ons some time ago (i.e., T-shirts, backlist items from our warehouse, etc.). Those items are already in Australia, waiting to "marry up" with the inbound delivery from China. We anticipate this happening soon and fulfillment is likely to begin by mid-June.
The US will likely be the next market to fulfill, probably in mid to late June, with Canada and UK not far behind. Customs clearance is always a curveball but this is what we expect at the moment.
We will provide additional details as shipments land!
Dungeon Con 2 Was Awesome
It was great seeing so many familiar faces - and backers of this project - at our convention a few weekends ago! For those who couldn't make it, here is a photo of the "previews section" of our booth. The advance copies of the books from this project were on display. They looked great! And your copies will look great too.
MCC Foil Edition
The MCC foil edition is one of the final items to be approved. Here is a photo of an advance sample we've received. The bronze foil is holographic and sparkles with the embedded polygons. It's hard to capture in a photo so we have included a couple angles below, which show how the changing angle changes the sparkle. This book turned out really good and we think you'll be happy with it!
DCC Leatherbound Edition
Here are photos of the final leatherbound printing. Those of you who ordered this will be very happy, I think.
There are several "layers" to this print job so we have captioned the photos below accordingly.
The book is packaged in a printed corrugated protective case.
Open the case and you see the slipcase that encloses the book.
A view of the book spine inside the slipcase.
The book removed from the slipcase, which features the "fire wizard" art on its other side.
The leatherbound book with its holographic reflective silver foil.
The signature page.
The bonus pages at back, exclusive to the leatherbound edition.
That's all for now, everyone. I expect our next update will concern fulfillment beginning. Looking forward to that!
We'll keep this short and sweet. Three important things to know!
Advance copies are in hand! Books will be loaded on boats soon!
Our warehouse sale and Dungeon Con 2 are this weekend! Fort Wayne, Indiana. Come see the advance copies in person!
Castle Whiterock ends this Friday! Get the Book of Bonus Adventures while you still can!
Now the details!
Advance Copies In Hand
They look soooooo good. Here are some photos. We're still waiting on a few more to trickle in but overall they're looking great!
Warehouse Sale + Dungeon Con 2 Is This Weekend!
Once a year, we open our warehouse to the public for a fun sale - plus an auction! This Friday and Saturday, visit us in Fort Wayne, Indiana for the annual warehouse sale.
Then Saturday and Sunday, visit the Grand Wayne convention center in downtown Fort Wayne for Dungeon Con 2! Games, seminars, vendors, and more!
